Christopher Buffa (Prima Games): Konami broke gamers’ hearts earlier this year when the company pulled its free Silent Hills teaser, P.T., from the PlayStation Network. Despite lasting roughly 25 minutes, the demo was among the scariest experiences one could find on Sony’s console, complete with tension and a handful of jump from your seat moments.
P.T. will forever RIP, but there are still a handful of spooky video games on PSN worth playing, all of which will make you think twice about peeking around the next virtual corner. If you enjoy a good fright, put these scary PS4 games at the top of your must play list before picking up Sony’s promising exclusive, Until Dawn on August 25.
It has been more than ten years since Dying Light was released, but what happened to the $386,000 'My Apocalypse Edition' of the game?
For one lucky person willing to spend $386,000, the My Apocalypse Edition of Dying Light promised a staggering collection. It included the buyer’s face in the game, a human-sized ‘Volatile’ statue, and parkour lessons with a freerunning team. It also came with night vision goggles, an all-expenses paid round trip to Techland’s offices, and four signed copies of the game. Oh, and it also came with a custom-built, ‘zombie-proof’ survival shelter.
LOL but it was a stunt from the team:
‘It was a PR stunt and got a lot of media attention for its wild and over-the-top nature, it was designed to generate buzz around the game’s release. It did a great job of getting the game noticed, though! But nobody purchased it – thankfully, I guess!’
Techland is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dying Light with updates and events for both games. The new The Beast game comes out soon.
It got a lot of shit from fans more not being as scary at night on release. I was in that boat. But once I gave it a fair shot I really loved it. The movement was so much more expressive to me. I enjoyed the story too.... for the most part. Was my game of the year when it came out. With all the updates for darker nights and all that, it's even better. I feel almost exactly the same about stalker 2 right now. The erojank games are scratching my itch.
The Steam Winter Sale is now live, and here are the best Steam Deck games you can get for under $5 right now.
I'm really hoping until dawn will be good
Alien Isolation is the scarcest game because you are constantly feeling the tension and you have an enemy who's always there that you cant kill.
Alien Isolation brings nothing but the spooky. That game could kill someone if they have a heart condition. Evil Within, especially the Julie Kidman DLCs, is also very spooky.
I didn't think Last Of Us or Dying Light was all that spooky.
Also gotta mention Dark Souls and Bloodborne. I know when people talk about them they always call them RPG games. But in my opinion they are horror games. And pretty spooky too.
Alien Isolation, Outlast and P.T. for me...
Alien Isolation probably wins it for me. It may not be that scary, but the idea that you will face face that Alien constantly always freaked me out.
