I don't really understand this list. you have siren into 2 different pages. You also have SH4 as #1.

yugovega4003d ago

siren had the ps2 games then the ps3 one. I don't see why they wasn't all divided up like res evil and silent hill was. but silent hill 4 at number 1? and dino crisis at 2? not too great of a list. silent hill origins or homecoming could replace most of those.

Greyslash4003d ago

"Silent Hill Origins and Homecoming can replace most of those."
Please tell me you're not being serious
Please
Those two were awful
and I agree with the writer, SH4 was one of the best Survival Horror games I've ever played.
I would take out a few of the games like Alan Wake, Amnesia, and Dead Space, and put Fatal Frame higher, but overall it was a good list.

yugovega4003d ago

silent hill 4 would've been better had it not been a forced silent hill. had nothing to do with silent hill.

TheFirstClassic4003d ago

@Greyslash dunno bout homecoming but origins was a pretty good game, not the ps2 silent hill quality but pretty good nonetheless. Why would you take out Amnesia? Amnesia is an awesome horror experience, the game isn't consistent the who way through, but it has some pretty awesome moments.

@Greylash
You're joking right??
Take out Amnesia?? WHY??!

I wouldn't say SH4 is the best horror game out there, but I don't think it's even close to being as bad as people say. A lot of fans seem to focus on the fact that Silent Hill 4 started off development as a different game. But Homecoming, Downpour and Origins are barely like the original games at all, but fans don't seem to take as much issue with that as they do with SH4.

Because SH4 still had enough of that Silent Hill "feel" for it to count as a SH game imo. The overall tone, atmosphere and creepy story still felt Silent Hill-y. I really enjoyed the game. Still, I don't think I'd put it in a "best horror games of all time" list.

Autolycus884002d ago

And silent hill 4 did tie into the silent hill universe, loosely. Its a great game. I totally agree with ya.

caseh4003d ago

Top 25 Survival Horror games? Are there even that many?

NastyLeftHook04003d ago

i saw manhunt as a survival horror/action game, so i would include it.

Unlimax4003d ago (Edited 4003d ago )

wow he didn't even include RE3 Nemesis .. smh ಠ_ಠ

Whoever that person who made that list he better re-correct the list , his taste in horror games is different than us , maybe he is a modern gamer .. i don't know !

And speaking about Survivor Horror .. PARASITE EVE was a hidden gem Survivor Horror too why shouldn't he put that game on the list ~

TXIDarkAvenger4003d ago

...Because fuck everyone who has a different opinion right?

Unlimax4003d ago (Edited 4003d ago )

*Facepalm*

No , That's not the point just take a look at the list once again .. The list is a bit .. well TOTALLY messed up in that case and i think everyone will agree with me with that , its like someone put his hand in the box with 25 sheets of luck and appeared this way !

Even Haunting ground ... wasn't on the list , oh well :O

TXIDarkAvenger4003d ago

Ok I understand where your coming from. This obviously isn't a good survival horror list...

Also the order of games is just terrible. I'm not sure how Zombi U is at #5, let alone on this list of top 25. Yeah disregard my comment, this list is shit.

Unlimax4003d ago

I didn't Disagree with you my friend :3

Tokyo_reject4003d ago

He REALLY should've said "MY top 25 be...."
...probably the worst list ever lol!!!
"SH4 was Last Silent Hill that was any good"
BWAHAHAHA, i got news for you buddy....any true Silent Hill fan would tell you its the worst...its not even a true Silent Hill game...it got "Silent Hill" in its name after it was pretty much finished as a game because they knew they had a shit game, so they put Silent Hill in the name to get sales.
Hell...SH Homecoming was better then this game lol. SM,and silent hill origins were 5X better.
Dont quit your day job...article writing is not for you.

Pozzle4003d ago (Edited 4003d ago )

Huh. Guess I mustn't be a "true" Silent Hill fan then, because I would happily play SH4 again before I play Homecoming again.

Seriously, what is with everyone's hatred for SH4? Yeah, the backtracking sucked, the lack of bosses sucked, and the escort mission sucked. But apart from that, I thought it was a decent game. The atmosphere was still very Silent Hill-y, I liked seeing how Silent Hill's corruption was spreading to nearby towns, and it was cool learning more about Walter Sullivan (even if it did contradict a few things from previous games). Am I missing something? What makes SH4 soooo much worse than mindless dreck like Homecoming?

...And btw, Silent Hill 4 only STARTED development as a different game (just like Devil May Cry started development as Resident Evil 4). The devs didn't make a completely different game then just slap "Silent Hill" on the box. It was a Silent Hill game throughout most of its development.

HarryMasonHerpderp4003d ago

Any "true" Silent Hill fan would know that Homecoming was garbage and everything after SH4 the room has been poor fan service.
The only true Silent Hill games were the ones made by Team Silent.

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai8h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken8h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye6h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken5h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno3h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop2h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Chocoburger3h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer1h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz1491h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.

Sciurus_vulgaris1h ago

The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
