OPM: It’s an interesting proposition: a combat-free survival horror built around investigation and escape. It’s also an indie game. One of PS4′s heavily featured line up of small studios. In this case Red Barrels, a ten man team made up of ex-Naughty Dog, EA, Ubisoft and Eidos staffers. Here I speak to co-founder Philippe Morin about the game to find out more.
The Xbox One is full of SPOOKS, and that's all you should know about. Here is a list of the best horror games on the system.
A lot of my favourites are on this list so I whole heartedly approve.
Everything except The Observer. It started out really interesting but quickly unraveled into a train wreck. Including frustratingly dull dives into mind sequences, They neutered the monster with boring on rail stealth sequences and a laughably obvious and cringeworthy ending. Mix in bugs and some wonky controls to boot.
I had really strong impressions with it to start but ended up absolutely hating it.
I got 2-3hrs in and couldn't take it anymore, the constant need to switch between the 3 visions just became so annoying and honestly just unnecessary.
I actually agree. At first I thought it was a great idea because the game wasn't holding your hand with the Detective work but it was so unintuitive too. It became a sequence of staring at everything for long enough in 3 different vision modes just to see what stuck.
Soma would be more existential horror than anything but I'll be damned if it didn't have one of the best stories in game that I've experienced. Blew my mind.
The spooky season is at last upon us, making the next couple of weeks the perfect time for a healthy helping of horror. There's no shortage of options out there, so here are a few suggestions to get the ball rolling!
I remember the suffering and it was descent game. I always wanted to play Crimson but never got to it.
But honestly, I’ve never played a game that really scared me, like some movies from the past have.
I remember The Suffering 1 and 2. I haven't thought about those games in years. I still remember some parts of the level in the prison where a guy was sucked through a vent screaming. I don't know why that's stuck with me all of these years.
Outlast, the classic horror game from former Ubisoft developers Red Barrels, has a new speedrun world record, as SGDQ begins its 2022 livestream
Looks good and something that will scare poop out of me
Wow gr8 talent,ex EA,UBI and ND!!
yeah really don't like the "combat free" part. I wanna defend myself! And not with a camera! but this caught my eye...
"It’s the same with the patients – you see one down the corridor and you don’t know if he’s going to talk to you, push you, kill you, chase you. So we wanted players to always be in doubt of what’s going to happen."
THAT is cool. Yeah, probably going to get this one.
Cool. Other gamers get to play it as well as PC gamers :)
Can't wait for this in September :)
