[clarky003]

sudden fright's.. creepy sounds, Doom III Delta labs, in the dark with headphones on, turned right up... poo'd my pants.

[Hazar]

only in a game eh?

in the first hl, it was all the monsters teleporting right behind you,

hl2 it was the fast zombies :D

I haven't really had any other 'scary' games

[Mr-Fusion]

Well the alien vs predator games had a good way of building up suspense, and they just hang you there for a long time, then something fast and quick happens with lots of sreaming and noise then you release crud into your pants.

Great stuff.

There was one good scene in Doom 3 where those imps are in these tube things, in the research lab. Oldest trick in the book, i walked up really close to one and it jolted and banged the glass. That was the one and only time i physically jolted in my chair. More of that would have been great.

[Hazar]

:O

TDE is scared of practically everything :E

[Samon]

Things that jump at me...background noise and so on.

[ray_MAN]

[jimbo118]

[Fletch]

Fear effect comes to mind when people talk about scary games - i played it at a mates house. I dont really buy into the horror genre myself.

[jimbo118]

atmosphere and psychological horror ala silent hill

[ríomhaire]

Does anyone remember the voice acting from Res Evil 1. It was unbelievably crap.
"AHHHHHHH. Sorry, I didn't mean to do that"

"What is it?"
"Blood"
"Hope this is not Chris' blood"

Honestly, did they just grab people off the street and give them lines to read?

I'd rather not remember it.

[Unfocused]

Little girls with long hair covering their faces are scary - ex.The Ring or FEAR trailer.

[Jangle]

those robot baby things on doom 3. they were so scary..

new survial horror game for ps2

[DarkStar]

Atmosphere/Psychological Stuff

I found the level "Our Benefactors" in HL2 to be truly frightening.

[Datrix]

I just noticed anticipation scares me. In SC:CT, do you know how fast your heart is beating when you're hiding in the shadows and an enemy is just mere inches away?

[Alig]

Surprises, Atmosphere and Physhological horror scares me the most. Thats why Doom3 is like the scariest game i've ever played, ever!.

[Danimal]

-surprises (eg things that jump at you)
-atmosphere (includes background noise and darkness)
-phycological horror (eg Silent Hill)
-anticipation

[Anoma|ous]

A Zombie plague something like the classic Dawn of the Dead scares me but not as much as a psychological horror, the first Silent Hill will always give me the chills. I think Harry Mason is one tough dad going through all that. Silent Hill is one spooky place.

[CrazyHarij]

Atmospheres, psychological horror and small enemies.

[Venmoch]

Uh not much really.

DOOM 3 was a walk in the park, Resident Evil was just fun, Silent Hill was not scary.

In fact, neither was System Shock 2.

(Also worth noting, I took the oppertunity to watch the Japanese versions of "Ring and Ring 2", totally not scary.)

[Anoma|ous]

Then you must be one of 'them'? Squad, we got bogies!

[SimonomiS]

Yea, but that could be true, or you might be trying to be all "tough and manly" to enlarge your e-penis. :P

Actually, what would really have been scarey, would have been if you went close up and it tapped on the glass, it rocks on the glass, you jolt, then one falls out a handy vent nearby and kicks your sorry ass.

Or, you go near it, it rocks on the glass, you jolt, you go 'better not touch any buttons', you turn around, the glass breaks, lots of demons kick your sorry ass.

[ríomhaire]

What realy scared me before was playing Silent Hill 2 while listening to REM.

[Angry Lawyer]

The strangest parts scare me. Like in Doom 3, it was the stuff growing on the walls that really freaked me. Not because it was gory, but because it just felt wrong. And, when I was young, the original Doom games scared me for similar reasons. Just things that felt 'wrong', like the faces in the walls, and the dissonant music on the last level of Doom 2.

[RakuraiTenjin]

Anticipation OF surprise. That's the worst, worse than the surprise.

Like when in Half Life, enterring an air duct pitch black. You KNOW there is a headcrab somewhere down the line to jump out, and with me, even though I know it when it happens it still makes me jump. Inching forward waiting for it to happen is worse than when it finally does.

I don't get scared from anticipation like someone said earlier though waiting in the shadows near an enemy you already know about but they don't know about you. That gets my heart going but not scared, just hoping I win.

[DEATH eVADER]

Theres nothing as scary as things jumpin out at you, I found this out when playing FarCry, bloody trigens lunging at you then swiping their big claws across your face (usually dead with two swipes of their claws)

[jimbo118]

yeah that never fails to freak me out,probably why i hate them so much,the monkey 1s anyway,the others dont scare me

[X-FacToR]

Anticipation, I am my own worst enemy when it comes to being scared.

[oldagerocker]

The whole Doom thing scares the shit out of me.. the darkness, things jumping out. you knw its going to happen, and im ok in films, but with the sounds and stuff in doom3, i just get scared and give up :o

[Zeus]

Usually a combination of gore/and monster sounds (like you know something is there and it just tore that guy to pieces)

[Darkknighttt]

the atmosphere is what makes the game. it determines if it's scary, or adventerous or something else.

[BHC]

99.999999% atmosphere.

[Venmoch]

Yea, but that could be true, or you might be trying to be all "tough and manly" to enlarge your e-penis. :P

I do not do tough and manly.

I can get unerved but I never can say I'm scared by a game or a film.

[jimbo118]

really?i know that i vary rarely get scared from films but with games its different,probably as the immersion factor is so big

Onos...

[Dalamari]

Atmoshere kills me, not music, but the abscence of sound and strange things happening, one of my worst nightmares was an empty white room, no sound, and each time I turned around, something random popped up (a huge eye, a dead guy, a doll) and it was really f**kin' freaky,

Yeah, I'm actually afraid of that... Especially when you are alone and it chases you in a dark hallway... next second... you are in its stomach, melting you slowly... http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/contrib/constrector/scared.gif

[Venmoch]

Nah, I just swear over voicecomm.

Thing is, I tend to go "That was cool" rather than get scared. Case in point, last scene in "Ring" (The Japanese version) when Sadako does her thing.

I thought "Man thats cool!" not OMG I R SCARED!

[Vorac1ous]

Uh not much really.

DOOM 3 was a walk in the park, Resident Evil was just fun, Silent Hill was not scary.

(Also worth noting, I took the oppertunity to watch the Japanese versions of "Ring and Ring 2", totally not scary.)Eh, one of the army types who walks around saying "I'm too strong to be scared!!!" Meh. Or you're just lying.

Atmosphere for me.

[fatdave]

2 things do it for me: bioheadcrabs and mutants from far cry :D:D so for me it has to be surprises. I dunno why the bioheadcrabs... guess they just come as a big surprise. :D

[Vorac1ous]

The mutants from FarCry were rather silly IMO. If you try hard enough, you can figure out where they within a few seconds. Also I try to follow their walking Mp5's lol.

[Antlion Hunter]

Ribbers from THE THING.

[$kelet0r]

Being in the open in Operation Flashpoint
Terrifying like no other experience
except the real thing of course ; )

[TheAntipop]

Sounds, mainly. I stood around in the sewer/cargo area place during Follow Freeman, or whatever the other one was with the city combat, for a long time not daring to go forward because I heard a poisen zombie but couldn't see it. Turned out it was behind a fence in a little alcove below me. I'm such a pussy.

Oh, and in that FEAR video when he enters that really gory room and behind the metal grating the light flickers and that girl runs at it then disapears. Or when he enters the office and it crawls out the darkness and, again, disapears. Had me that did.

Well doom 3 was not scary, silent hill/re/ss2 on the other hand... :o

[Antlion Hunter]

The monkeys in TimeSplitters3.Oh the horror of feces throwing simians!!!!!!!!Plus the creatures in The Suffering.

[B-MAn]

Yeh the things in The Suffering were jus weird O_o
