The scariest game series!

Post by Tyrant »

Resident Evil has my vote on this one. Which gaming series do you find to be the creepiest, or best for that matter? the RE1 remake gives me the absolute chills. The PSX version was scary enough, but now with added photorealistic environments and Crimson Heads, that mansion just gotta hell of a lot creepier :)

I like Doom 3 the best (the other doom series were fun but they aren't even remotely scary). Yes, it is very dark but really that is what makes it a great game. You hear something in the distance and you flash your flashlight at it and it turns out to be a hellnight.

FEAR was just a lot of hollywood special effects, so it was good but a bit too cheesy.

I haven't played Silent Hill or Resident Evil, though. My friend played Silent Hill and it just sounds really cheesy and weird.

They were for the time.
I've only really played DooM, so I can't say much allong the lines of what was scarier.

I would have to go with Resident Evil, I haven't played F.E.A.R yet and Doom seems to be more of a bloody demonic game to me then scary. I played Resident Evil when i was a little kid and it scared the crap out of me :oops:

I agree that Doom 3 was indeed scary, but it lacked the moments that make you jump suddenly. Even the Suffering had a few of those. Too bad it only let me put four choices :)

Even DooM had a few (yes, that is possible on a sprite-based game, lol)

lol. Yes, Silent Hill 2 (and also 4) were the scariest in the series.

Nothing in Doom 3 really made me jump, just kept my heart going. Plus I was waaaay to busy marveling over the amazing graphics :D

I have only ever played FEAR. It had some moments that got me. Like the one early in the game where the guy jumps out of that random corner and hits you. I was not expecting it.

I used to think resident Evil was scary when I was younger, and I haven't played the others, so RE gets my vote. :wink:

Agreed. I was a just a little kid when I first played that and I'd have to say some parts were pretty freaky for me. Especially on I think the last level with the snow yeti's.

FEAR isn't a series(yet) so don't bring it into this even though I completely disagree with whoever said it was cheesy. It just actually had a story unlike Doom or Quake...

But as for my scariest series, I would have to go with the RE games too. Only played a few but there were some good moments and good scares.

i'd say fear because seeing a dead corpsy girl screaming at you at 3 in the morning then seeing a dead body run across your screen isn't quite settling

FEAR is amazing, one of the best games I've ever played, but like I said, it's still not a series. Not until the next one is released...
