Rely on Horror writes: "Horror is genre that came later in the age of video games. While action-adventure platformers and third-person shooters dominated the early era of games horror came much later, at least successfully. Sure we had games look Wolfenstein and Doom but the scares weren't really there. As time progressed game developers were finally able to capture that vibe that made horror click with audiences on both PCs and consoles. These are some of the best of the best, in no particular order though there may be a slight bias for our first listing."
Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.
It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.
No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.
I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.
I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games
Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.
A large vinyl collection has been announced for Silent Hill 2 and looks great.
Very. I wonder how many people buy them who do mot own a record player just to have as a collectible.
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
No Siren Blood Curse?? That game was true survival horror.
Yeah, but that would deprive us of the "hilarious" Wii fit gag..
This list makes me want Dead Rising 2 even more.
