Horror Games Are Back

It's safe to say we have been starved of quality horror games since the heady days of the early resident evils and silent hills. But horror is back and it's as horrifying as ever.

I played through most of the PS4 version of the game but stopped because another game came out. I bought it last year for PC with the intention of using the VR mod but haven't gotten around to setting it up. I am glad I waited.

Great game, even better in VR. A little drawn out by the end, but I hope we see CA do something a little different with the sequel.

OtterX16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

Sweet. I also rebought this game on Steam for the purpose of VR. I'll have to give it another shot w full immersive controls. I had only tried it out briefly before.

It's funny this was never officially released at retail as a VR game, bc it feels so perfect for it!

Higher Tier PlayStation Plus Members Can Claim These 10 Spooky Games For Free

If you don’t plan on trick-or-treating or going to a Halloween-themed party, the next best thing is to relax with a spooky game, and PlayStation Plus members can get some cool games for free. If you’re a PS+ subscriber, there are a bunch of games perfect for Halloween that you can get completely for free.

Note: Some games require higher PS+ tier levels to enjoy free.

TriniOutsider225d ago

Can we stop with the word "Free" when it comes to these subscription services, please? These games aren't free if people are paying for the service.

Juancho51225d ago

Calm down, we all know what it means. You’re not paying for the individual game, it’s included. Stop acting outraged over nothing.

TriniOutsider225d ago

Your response is exactly what's wrong with gaming today.

I've always against subscription based gaming services.

1nsomniac225d ago

He doesn't need to calm down. He's stating what is factual and what should be common sense, however it's clear some people still don't understand this.

It is not free. You do not receive them if you're not paying the subscription to receive them. No ones getting angry other than yourself. He's just stating the simple common sense that no one is receiving a free game they are receiving a game "included" in their subscription plan - That they pay for!

False and manipulative writing/advertisement is wrong and counts on the less educated letting it go unchallenged.

Elda225d ago

Exactly. If anyone wants to play any of these games through PS+ one has to pay a monthly subscription fee which means it's not free.

We all know what it means, no one is confused, chill.

TheNamelessOne225d ago (Edited 225d ago )

All great games, honestly. Though, I did feel The Devil In Me was the worst game that Supermassive has put out.

LoveSpuds225d ago

I went out and bought Dredge, one of my favourite games i have played this year.

If you haven't played it, you really should give it a chance.

Nacho_Z224d ago

Dredge is great, really enjoyed it. One of my favourites too and something original as well.

derek225d ago

Alan Wake 2 is available in the subscription?

1nsomniac225d ago

No. It's just a really poorly written article. Alan Wake 2 is part of the subscriptions "Trial" section - So it's simply a demo, that's all.

Simple "bait and switch" article trying to get hits using manipulative writing.

derek225d ago

Oh, ok. I looked on the app and saw the trial available thought I was missing something.

Interview with Keiichiro Toyama (creator of Silent Hill, Siren, and Gravity Rush)

In a career spanning interview, I speak to the creator of the Silent Hill, Siren, and Gravity Rush franchises about his 30 year time within the industry, what his thoughts are in making the transition from working for a AAA publisher to essentially becoming an independent, whether he’d be open to working on new iterations of the franchises that he’s renowned for, whether he’d be open to collaborating with any of the horror greats in the games industry, and what his long-term goals are for the next 30 years… Enjoy!

Interesting read, although the questions should have been more focused, and I think Gravity Rush, at least the first one, is fairly dark. Never got into the sequel.

DarXyde234d ago

I loved both games. There are pervasive themes of darkness worked in, but they're very vibrant games and Kat (history withstanding) is a very light-hearted character in a world that has its dark moments, but it's very generally upbeat, especially in comparison to Siren and Silent Hill.

isarai234d ago (Edited 234d ago )

Wait, dude made all 3? Wtf? Dude has a knack for cult classics like damn

DarXyde234d ago

"So most of the games that I’ve worked on have been new IPs, even though I’ve made different franchises and stuff. But I want to note that every time I make a new IP, my resources are pretty limited, and they’re limited by the company that I’ve worked for. So in that sense, Silent Hill, Siren, and the first Gravity Rush game, I think that we were striving to achieve something new, as opposed to making a big budget videogame. So I feel the need to do that every 3, 4, or 5 years. And I keep making new games, so going individual, like going indie right now, for me, I don’t really feel limited, I feel that it suits me more. So it feels like I’ve got an advantage, because I know how to work with limited resources."

That's encouraging. I really hope Sony would approach Toyama-san for a Gravity Rush sequel.
