Joystick Division writes: "Great horror games provide gamers with unique, powerful experiences of fear and exhilaration. While some focus on atmosphere and tension, others prefer startles and scares. But regardless of the method, all successful horror games include horrifying and disturbing creatures that hunt or stalk the weary protagonists. From meat hook throwing crawlers to spike ridden giants, each of these creatures puts a deep uneasiness in our psyches. And in return, we put bullets in their heads. Here's a list of the ten scariest, most violent, and weirdest creatures we've ever had the pleasure of dismembering. Enjoy!"
Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”
Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.
They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.
I’m sure many would want bold and creative done well, but that’s easier said than done. I like variety so give me a little bit of everything, done well of course.
Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?
it was not. it greatly expanded the areas and puzzles to the point where it felt like an entirely new game. the enemies and boss fights were given a MASSIVE upgrade. the abstract daddy fight in particular was incredible. and the team added two new endings.
Game Rant interviews Plants vs. Zombies composer Peter McConnell about honoring the series’ quirky roots, adapting its themes, and now going vinyl.
The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
A new leak has potentially revealed one more game that is set to be added the PS Plus Premium lineup of titles in July, 2025.
No monsters from System Shock 2? Laaaame.
But that's modern gaming journalism for ya.
No pyramid head from Silent hill 2? He was the creepiest dude ever I pooped when I was hiding in the cupboard and he had pretend raped a nurse. Very,very scary especially since he was so slow.
Pretty decent list, I would've have put the ghost in fatal frame somewhere up there. Unless you have a camera with you, you are screwed.
Honestly I would have given it to the Half Life 2 guys. They are so scary when they are coming at you. I love Half Life 2 but it is a game I can only play in short bursts because of just how damn intense it is.
Instead of the slasher in Dead Space, I would have picked those guys towards the end that move insanely fast and look like they're having a massive seizure. I didn't wanna enter that first room for the longest time...
I think they're called Stasis Slashers...
