Scariest game(s) ever?

[Drico]

What games scare everyone the most? I love horror games, and am looking for some to play (new or old), any console. so it'd be cool to see what everyones opinion is..

When I was younger, the DooM games scared me, especially DooM 64. That game scared the bajeesus out of me. Ambient music with baby crys and Cyber Demons chasing me around. Of course, the game is less than stellar now. :lol: For some reason Myst scared me, as well. I was a little pussy, I know. :P

Now, I'd have to say the Silent Hill games can get extremely creepy, and sometimes the Resident Evil games. I've been considering the Fatal Frame series, but since the Xbox versions are so damn expensive..... maybe not....

Looking forward to RE4. :cool:

[legion_stxds]

Eternal Darkness (GC)... this game plays you.

[Mr.Answer]

doom

[fugazi_chichimon]

I can remember playing silent hill for the first time...i almost peed in my pants.

[XboxMaster]

I'm thinking Silent Hill 2 and Fatal Frame 2.

[Drico]

Somehow I forgot about Undying for the PC. Easily one of, if not the scariest game I've ever played, and some parts just seem.. disturbing..

[tyecko]

doom for N64 was scary, i wouldnt play it alone. Resident Evil is scary alone too.

[coolcps]

Silent hill 1 would be the scariest, i played it when i was on vacation in santa cruz for a few weeks, scary games are even scarier in foreign places.

[SneakyPenguin]

Doom 3
Silent Hill Series
System Shock 2 - scariest EVER
Undying - pretty damn close

[int80h]

Is there even anything that can compare to REmake?

[Drico]

I agree that REmake was very scary, but it didn't stick in my head when I'm in the dark, like Undying does.

[Kaijufan]

The only "scary" game I've played is Eternal Darkness. I do have the X-Files Resist or Serve, but I haven't played much of it. I also have the They Hunger HL mod on a CD that Ive been meaning to play.

[jmcc]

Yeah, I'll go along with System Shock 2 for sure. Undying gets runner up.

[Kirin Lemon]

The original Silent Hill scared me more than anything else I've ever played, by far...

... Either that or Vib-Ribbon.

[GenDV138]

doom 3, or the first time i watched resident evil when my friend was playing many years ago.

[rockhero]

Doom 3

[whoknows]

The game that scared me most was the original Fatal Frame, and of course RE4 will be scary it seems you are getting it so I would have to say the original Fatal Frame I really didnt notice much difference between the xbox and ps2 versions so I dont think it matters which one you get especially if you can find it cheaper on PS2 go for it.

[RedvsBlue]

Invariably someone always says some really bad game was sooo scary because it was so awful. Hopefully my post will stop anyone from doing this because it is not funny anymore, nor was it very funny to begin with. With that said, I will have to pick REmake, mainly cause I've never played any of those other games.

[Terabyte7]

Metropolismania...from the depths of what twisted soul was that game created?

Seriously though, Silent Hill 1 was the scariest game I've ever played, but Silent Hill 2 had a scarier end boss.

[Pure Apathy]

For some odd reason, Breakdown has freaked me out a few times so far. The one thing that stands out most is when you meet up with the girl you meet in the beginning of the game for the first time. When she ran from the side of the screen, it scared the shit out of me.

Other than that, any RE game and any Fatal Frame game has scared me.

[Theenternal]

When doom first came out, i forced myself to play it in the dark it sort of built up my expectations for other games. I did the same with silent hilll. However the game that would scare me and would make me jump. Still makes me jump when i play it. Is Friday the 13th for the nes. You should try it, the gameplay is mediocore, but the jason scare is pretty funny.

[jetsetradio21]

Fatal Frame - I picked it up a while back during TRU's green tag sale. It was sitting on my shelf for a couple of weeks because I absolutely refused to play it in the dark

[RedvsBlue]

Metropolismania...from the depths of what twisted soul was that game created?


I flippin' knew it was going to happen. Right underneath my post too!

[Survivor Charlie]

Eternal Darkness freaked me out and legitimently had me scared. Play it with the light out and the volume turned WAY up.

[Journey]

The Fatal Frame series for me wins it hands down. The atmosphere and the camera angles and the ghosts freak me out something fearce. I have both 1 & 2 but have only played 1 for about an hour cause it was too intense and I had to turn it off. Haven't played 2 yet.

[cheapass Gundam]

The original Fatal Frame and Silent Hill, hands down.

I am glad no one's mentioned Siren yet. That game was simply awful and did not scare me one bit.

[doubledown]

I remember playing Phantasmagoria on the PC years back.....killed lots of time back then

[crystalklear64]

OMFG the scariest game ever is Tetris! Like when you setup the perfect combo and then those fucking zombies come in and eat your long skinny piece, so then you bust out the shotgun and try to shoot them but the Pikmin just jump in for the interception and you're stuck at the starting line while Mario steals all the stars before the L-Block even has a chance to recover and then the screen fills with blocks and you're like "Shit Shit, fire our Shit" and then you see the Highscore screen with Ken filling all the spots. Damn thats one scary game.
You don't play Tetris, it plays you!1!14!1!! (oh yeah alone in the dark was scary too...)

[Snake2715]

All these people say Doom3 well awhat about Heretic?

Shit so many arrow shooting sons of &%*^*3$ would jump out and make me jump.

I think phantasmagoria rocked. I am sol glad I hung on to that game as its worth a few bucks now...

I will let all you know how RE4 turns out... I am so damn excited..

[tickdude]

Doom on the ol' 486-33 back in 1994. That one did scare the beejesus out of me with the lights turned off and the speakers turned up.

Phantasmagoria, more or less.
Alone in the Dark, a little bit.
Silent Hill, a bit.

Can't wait to hear about RE4. Perhaps we should have a brown skidmark rating system in place?

[ananag112]

Eternal Darkness IMO.

[greydemise]

doom 3 wuda been scary for me if my comp didnt lag horribly when more than 1 enemy was on the screen..but it did have an awesome atmosphere..cant wait 2 get it for xbox so i can actaully play
silent hill series gets my vote (cept for 4) they had awesome creepy atmospheres..
fatal frame 1 was really creepy as well

[PHaLaNX GTR]

Silent Hill 1. Never played 4, but 2 and 3 just didn't quite have the kick that the original had, although still good. Also, I recall Friday the 13th on NES as being pretty damn scary for its time. Walking around and knowing that Jason was going to pop up at any time was a great tension-builder.

[Grave_Addiction]

I gotta go with the original Resident Evil.

My friend, Casey, brought over this cool new game console called the Play Stayshun back in the day. At the time, me and my brother hardly even knew anything about it. Hell, we were still playing our SNES.

So one day at school Casey tells me he got this new video game console that just came out. I was so damn excited.

When he plugged it all in, we flipped off the lights and we watched that opening clip, I about pissed my pants. The next hour or so, it was like I was inside a horror movie.

I think I yelped like a schoolgirl when the zombie doggies jumped through the window. There were just so many freaky parts in that game.

What made the game so scary was I had never seen a game that bloody and horrifying before. I was used to playing my Genesis and SNES.

Resident Evil brought horror to the console.

Now there were some other games on the consoles before Resident Evil that could give you a little fright, like Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th.

Damn, when Jason would appear out of nowhere and that scary music would play, it was pretty scary.

[Parathod]

Uninvited for the NES. I'm sure it's cheesy now.

[broke]

I know its a popular choice but I still remember playing the original Silent Hill. Pretty f'in scary.

[cheapass Gundam]

Uninvited for the NES. I'm sure it's cheesy now.

Isn't that a port of the Mac game from the company that made other similar titles like Shadowgate?

[SoulEdgeVII]

Eternal Darkness. Just look in the bathtub.

[Snake2715]

What about Chiller for nes?

Heres a link:

Ahh screw it I cant find my old link with tons of pics from the game...

[darkJester]

Did anyone ever play Phantasmagoria for the PC way back when? That game scared the crap out of me. Granted, I was in my early teens, but it was SCARY.

I just noticed that doubledown also knows the horrors of Phantasmagoria. :)

What about the wife that "fell down the stairs and broke her neck"?

When in reality she was strapped in a mcahine and had her neck twisted around 360 degress...and you get to watch this in a live action FMV....

Or the wife who dies "choking on a piece of steak" only to later found out it was a human intestine crammed down her throat again seeing this on the computer in teh early 90's witha live action cut scene..

Phantasmagoria flat out rocked... Not only due to the games creeepiness but the story and all worked so well together... I havent played it in about 5 years but it sits there and one day i will play through it again.

I vividly remember the floating "cloud" over the empty baby cradle (complete with crying baby in the background) and the lady getting a gardener's hand-trowel shoved into her mouth. Yeah, pretty damn scary!

...great, I'm going to have nightmares tonight. :wink:

I believe that game also had a feature, where if you had a modem in your computer, and the phone connected (passed through the modem) that it would ring your phone during certain scary parts. Im not sure if it actually had something there when you picked up though.

Well that makes me want to play it over again even more....

This reminds me of a game that was seriously overlooked that recently came out.

MISSING

It sends you emails to your pesonal Email address from the "Serial killer/kidnapper". And they directly relate to where you are in the game.

My wife got kind of freaked out about it. And I actually thought it was a cool idea...

You guys should at least give it a shot it was $19.99 new so it should be able to be found for less now..

Does anyone remember that online game that called your home phone, sent you emails and did other contacts in real life? I think it was called Majestic or Mystic, something like that. It was a big conspiracy theaory game where you got involved in it. It didn't last very long because of the monthly fees and there wasn't much interest at the time. I always wanted to try it but I never had a chance.

[Survivor Charlie]

Eternal Darkness. Just look in the bathtub

I had goosebumps, then I looked in the tub, and screamed like a little school girl. That was the single most terrifying moment I've ever experienced in a game.

[r1s3n]

Scary games..hmm Ok I have a few as I am a huge fan of scary games.

Resident Evil 2- I know just another zombie action game but once you beat the regular scenario and go through it a second time in special mode with tyrant hunting your ass down. It just scared the hell out of me. I remember I was playing this lights off with with speakers hooked up and I was wandering through the police station. Well I got to one of the rooms in the back, and Tyrant attacked I killed him and thought I was good for a while yet...well as I was leaving I turned the corner and started back towards the entrance and the son of a bitch busted through the wall few inches in front of me...I nearly pissed myself

System Shock 2- I never beat this one. I just couldn't. I played it in the dark with the lights off and the volume up, and with cheats, and i still refused to play it. I'm such a chicken shit...

Eternal Darkness- Just amazing. This game is reason enough to pick up a gamecube. You feel the tension the entire time your playing. Never sure whats going to happen only that something will happen and your not going to be prepared enough.

I tried it and while it was a novel idea and sounded good on paper it turned out pretty lame. Then again I guess it didn't have much of a chance to prove itself since it was suspended a little while after 9/11. I haven't heard anything about it since then.

[tcrash247]

This may sound fruity, but did anyone actually play the Blair Witch Project games for the PC? I played a demo and it really freaked me out. As you are walking through a village in old times, there are ghosts of kids running around, appearing and disappearing and stuff. Then you get into the house from the movie and its just too freaky.

RE2 scared me and so did Eternal Darkness. The first time I played RE2, the licker running across the window scared me good. And as other people said the bathtub scene in Eternal Darkness was a good scare. I still never finished ED, I'm stuck.

[drsuper23]

RE: Code Veronica for the Dreamcast and Vampire Night.

Please, just stop right there....please.

[hiccupleftovers]

Silent Hill 1. The music in that game is very memorable and I still can't believe how much it added to the setting o fthe game and it alone creeped me out. The rest was just icing on the cake.

RE 1 isn't bad either.

[cheapass Gundam]

Too bad they changed the school kids from murderous kids to a black, ghost-like blobs. The Japanese censors didn't like the fact that you can kill kids in a video game, so Konami changed them into non-corporal black blobs.

Here are the early designs and each stage of permutation it went through:

[smalien1]

The most 'jumping' scary (non-psychological) gam I've played recentaly is Av.P, on the comp it is crazy.

[Kaijufan]

I forgot about Heretic and Hexan. Those were kind of scary back when I was a little kid.

[Drico]

I acutally own a copy of Phantasmagoria but never played it... All 6 (or is it more?) CD's are scattered around here somewhere. I've been curious about it but I'm not sure if I can stomach it.

[sisco1986]

Doom 3 but only the first half of the game, after that it kind of loses it's fear factor.

Silent Hill 1 was pretty good, as was Resident Evil 1. Alone in the dark made me jump more than once. But hands down, Doom 3, scary isn't even the word, intense is more the word im looking for.

Also friday the 13th for the NES scared the crap of me when I was a little kid. Going into the house then seeing jason just pop out of no where.

I never thought Phantasmagoria was scary. I was never scared of Doom either.

Undying, Alone in the Dark (First one), and Silent Hill was scary to me.

[asianxcore]

back in the day I remember the 7th guest and 11th hour on PC creeping me out when I played them.

(insert crazy bass solo here)

[evilmax17]

Resident Evil was never that scary to me. I remember playing Silent Hill 1 and being scared when it went into the nightmare transition, thinking "I can't wait to get back to the normal world".

[Grave_Addiction]

I never thought Phantasmagoria was scary. I was never scared of Doom either.

Undying, Alone in the Dark (First one), and Silent Hill was scary to me.

Yeah, Undying was pretty freaky. I actually forgot all about that one.

Anything that messes with Satanic shit is pretty freaky.

[oracrest]

I always remember Shadowgate, and Deja Vu for NES freaking me out as a little kid

[johnnyoski]

I'd have to got with RE1 and Eternal Darkness. The music and background noises really make them creepy.

[Tromack]

Is there even anything that can compare to REmake?

I agree. The REmake was so unbelievably scary. Especially if you have played the original. The hallway with the dogs made me shit my pants, if you have played both, you know what I am talking about.

[greydemise]

undying didnt get to me that much for some reason, ..i was more frustrated cus i got lost every so often :P, but i did have the occasional jump
friday the 13th freaked me out when i was a kid, especially with the loud noise that wud come out when jason wud appear..some parts in fatal frame 1 made me jump a bit

[darkJester]

All these games make me want to pick one of these up and get scared all over again.

...actually, except the Resident Evils. I had the PS2 Greatest Hits one, but I couldn't get passed the awkward control scheme. Maybe I'll try a diff't one sometime.

But I also want to try Phantasmagoria 2 now. That should still be available somewhere.

edit: Here are some GameSpot links to Phantasmagoria (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/phantasmagoria/) and Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh (http://www.gamespot.com/pc/adventure/phantasmagoria/). It seems the sequel was very poorly rated.

[jmcc]

Undying wasn't so much scary as creepy, I guess. It was similar to the Hellraiser movies, I guess, which is understandable. Still, scrying what happened in the oldest sister's underground room was hella disturbing.

I have both the sequal tried to hard but its not to terrible I found it enjoyable but nothing like the first.

If you do get it off ebay for the $30+ its going for keep in mind its from the early 90's when you play it.

[Drico]

How can't Undying scare you? I can't play it when I'm home alone, and can't play it in the dark at all. Like someone earlier mentioned, anything dealing with demonic/satanic shit I can't handle. Not only is the game immensely gory and disturbing but it mixes all of that with satanic and ghostly images perfectly.

[Quillion]

Definitely Eternal Darkness for me. The bathtub, mentioned by several others, was the only time I personally have ever been scared by a videogame. I don't get scared easily either, Horror movies don't bug me, and neither do the REs. I see a window and think "somethings gonna jump through there" ED was always more subtle though, slight changes to your environment, characters acting differently, things you thought meant one thing actually mean another. Freaky.

The sanity effects are a nice touch too, sometimes I would let my sanity drop just to see the effects.

Definitely the scariest videogame I have ever played.

Resident Evil 4 and Doom 3 for me
