Kuon was notable as one of the earliest, if not the absolute earliest, times I can remember an enemy following you from one scene to the next. Up until I played Kuon, you could ALWAYS escape an enemy by going into the next room. It was just an unwritten rule that enemies would stop chasing you once you made it through a door that forced a load screen. Not so in Kuon. The ghost lady or whatever chased me through a yard and I ran into the nearest building, triggering a load screen to go inside. That meant I got away, right? Nope. She came in after me after a second or two and I shut the game off, completely floored that that had happened.
i had a similar experience back on ps1 with resident evil nemesis, as soon as it followed me through a door, i just turned off the game, because i knew trying to solve puzzles in the game while being chased would be too stressful 😂 i really need to go back to it and play it or at least play the remake lol
Loved SH4, cause all the enemies were different and the whole setting was different. Locked inside your apartment was a great idea, then of course the hole in the wall with the stuffed rabbit staring back at you.
Somehow, i miss the old days horror games. There was something special in their atmosphere because of the limitation of the hardware. Its somehow makes it more scarier.
I used to love playing Fatal Frame and Crimson Butterfly was definitely the best one. Sae had to be one of the scariest ghosts you encounter in the game as well as the Kiryu twins.
I remember the cover of number 10 even though I never played it. I used to go with my older brother to store and browse the catalogue just to see the covers. That one gave me nostalgia.
Even though I cringed at your pronunciations of the Heian period names of the three main protagonists from Kuon, but it came from a sincere desire from you to highlight one of FROMSOFT's niche titles.
Silent hill 4 was my introductory to the silent Hill franchise, and horror games in general. I played it back when I was 14 on my PlayStation two. I was so scared of it I had to stop playing for a little while. But the game was great. I loved the atmosphere. I love the characters. I love the story I especially love the music. So it was rather disheartening when I found out that it was the least liked of the franchise. It deserves a lot more credit than it was given.
I will forever remember being 7 or 8 years old, and trying to play this "new shooter" my dad installed (it was Suffering). You can imagine my shock when I encountered the first monster. I still get chills when I remember how I jumped off the computer and bolted out of the room. It was my very first encounter with a horror game of any kind. Had no clue that was a thing. 😂 To this game, Suffering remains one of the best and darkest horror games I've ever played. It's an absolute masterpiece even by today's standards as far as I am concerned. Much love for Tork. ❣
Great list guys! Fatal Frame 2 and Silent Hill 4 are some of my favorite games of all time! I would love to see a remaster of both. Also I completely forgot about the Siren series until now. Great game series!
I was an adult when Game #1 was released (I was born in 1990). When I got older, I even understood the stories of these games much better and became even more fascinated with them. Many of them actually contain deep meanings that some of us can overlook when we're younger.
Personally, I was an adult when one of these games was released (Siren). For me, as I got older, I got even more attached to these games and became more interested in exploring their stories and plots.
Great video remember some of these but also learned of other ones that I never got to play. One game I played on the PS2 that I still hold dear and still go back to is Haunting Ground. As a teenager when it came out it really gave me the creeps and the sounds you heard after you died oh that stayed in my mind long after playing. Again great video glad I found your channel
Glad to have you here. Haunting Ground was definitely among the most memorable experiences of the 2000s, and it makes sense because it was made by Capcom. Many people also recognize it as "Demento", which is its name in Japan.
I am beyond happy to see Obscure on one of these lists. Obscure II was great as well. I never see either Obscure represented on lists, and it really does deserve a mention. Thank you. -BMay
5:45 In Clock Tower 3, the main foe is NOT the Scissorsman, thats the main antagonist of the earlier entries of the franchise. The main antagonist of CT3 is the Dark Man. Who doesn't even show up initially. There is a Scissorsman in CT3, but he's an area boss NOT the main antagonist.
Correct. Scissorman was so memorable that I even forgot about The Dark Gentleman, and I didn't notice it. Some people even recognize him more than any other character in the series. I'm actually planning to make a video about the most memorable antagonists of all time where he's going to be featured.
I'm in my late 40's with a full time job, but me and my son are going through silent hill homecoming right now and silent hill 3 afterwards. I got him into horror games now too. "proud dad moment :) "
I'm seeing Condemned, and I almost can't believe that it's a 2005 game, even though I played it before. The visuals look interesting even by current standards. The story was also enticing and well written, which is really rare in modern games. If you compare older and new games, you'll find that the new ones win in visuals, but they're way behind when it comes to stories and interesting plots that the older games had.
Condemned is amazing right up until it starts getting silly and they doubled-down with the sequel (which was still fun, don't get me wrong). It's too bad. I really liked how the first game opened with you going through a dilapidated building and investigating the killer's bizarre diorama. They could have really stuck with the inspiration from Se7en and had a really cool cerebral series, but it was a product of its time.
got no complaints about condemneds story though i never finished it, but the visuals, maybe i just never got far enough but to me the locations all seemed to look the same, with very little variety, thats kind of why i stopped playing, i got bored lol you are right about older games having better stories, legacy of kain series is a great example, or silent hill one versus silent hill shattered memories, i'd also argue better gameplay in a lot of cases too,
Fellow "The Room" enjoyer. The saddest part is that the main reason it failed was because the 1&3 Purists basically killed it before it could really take off. The only true problem with the game was the escort session (which was tied to good/bad ending status) which unfortunately plays a part in the game's overall 'feel' and message.
Forbidden Siren is a different and complicated game than the rest that if they had simplified it more in terms of gameplay, it would have had more sequels, in addition to being more popular, which it was not.
Omg I love this list, miss these times so much, miss my PS2 being new and exciting, gaming just doesn't do it anymore for me. But I'll always love these games
Omg cold fear, it actually WAS the horror thing for me and my friends at 14!!!! I love y'all, thanks for bringing the memories up again while wreckognizing it :D
Siren 2 was the first horror game that I played it when I was 7 years old. Actually i didn't really played it I just watched it when my horror games fan uncle was playing it. With my childhood imagination I really can't say how much it effected me I even I had nightmare that all of the people in my hometown was turned into shibito I even was scared to watch animes because my uncle had a Japanese version of that game.
Fatale Frame/Project Zero are in my opinion one of the best examples of how a horror game has to be. And Crimson Butterfly is great and deserves to be the best example of the Series. But, and this is my opinion, That I think Tormented and after my first real playthrough of Mask of the lunar eclipse that these 2 are a tiny bit better. And after Maiden of the black water and Mask of the Lunar eclipse got a Remake/Remaster I hope the other 3 Games get one too. Especially since I can play it with my girlfriend who never played the games herself or seen videos/Let's plays of them.
So im a 90s baby so these are my games Cold fear was boring when i was a kid imo Clock tower 3 was okay until it became devil may cry or parasite eve Pendulum gave me a headache coz of the first person style and the color and texture wasnt my thing when I was a kid Kuon is a real treat. Fatal frame 2 is yes the scariest. But i loved 3 more because the house style is like my parent's house as well as the crawling ghost gave me a shock no one had done back then. Obscure was great and it is also one of the few horror game where you can play with a friend. In my case my little brother, one of the very few memories i treasure the most with him. Condemned idk this game The suffering is great but I played it on pc during the dial up days on the internet so i kinda cheated the game with walkthrough Silent hill 4 is maybe the scariest after shattered memories because of the undying ghost at start. For me, its the og and sheryl's the best still. Siren og was a gem, kinda gives me a headache playing it but man that was scary coz the enemies early wont die from a revolver shot which is limited
I've played through all of these at release except Kuon and Cold Fear, which to this day I've still not played but will correct that soon. I've played through the others multiple times since, except for the PS3 siren it looks like you've shown here. I did play Siren 1 and 2 however, but never beat them due to the cryptic game play. (Do chapter 3, find locked door, go back to chapter 5, open locked door, go back to chapter 3, door is unlocked...)
Oh,. OBScure! Yay! I did a playthrough of it on my channel. along with the sequel. I like to describe it as 'Like Silent Hill, but more based in western horror tropes, as opposed to eastern'. Not hugely important, but, I'd like to note that 'Kyle' and 'Kenny' are two protagonists, and the school janitor is 'Mister Garrison'.
Epic video bro, the memories from those years! Penumbra, Silent Hill 4 and Condemned. My teenage self had awesome horror taste😅 Sad to see how gaming is just nice graphics and money grabbing but no stories at all. No fun.
Regarding Kuon, if memory helps, Ragarrox made a video about Kuon, and the from what he showed, the game wasn't that popular back in the day because it was too hard as well as because not too many copies were sold on the international market, so a lot of people wouldn't have had access to it regardless. I do play to plan to properly play it after I finish with another horror game. Also, glad to see your opinion on Fatal Frame. If you haven't tried it yet, I suggest you try Fatal Frame 3: The Tormented, while Crimson Butterfly is amazing, imho, The Tormented is better due to it's use of the camera as both an exorcism tool, but also as a camera, as you can develop pictures taken with the Camera Obscura and have Miku look up for information regarding those pictures. It also has one feature than no Fatal Frame had prior to it, nor after, you can play with Rei's pet cat.
I also felt the same. Kuon had a local success, but worldwide it just passed by, and people only started talking about it recently as a forgotten good experience. When it comes to The Tormented, you really made me excited to check it out.
@@KazzaGamesTV I'm glad to hear that, have fun with it, because it's an amazing experience. And yea, I also only heard of Kuon with Ragnar's video. I wish I would've heard of it sooner, because what I played of it looks fun and I'm looking forward to playing it start to finish.
I wish you put the original Siren on the PS2 instead of Blood Curse. I haven't played Blood Curse, but the original was just so good even though it was crazy hard too. I had to follow video walkthroughs to get through it. I've played most of the other games on this list though and loved them all.
Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Director's Cut for the OG Xbox was my shit back in the day. Fatal Frame in FPV was epic! I wish the latter games had that setting. Imagine Maiden of the Dark Water in FPV.
I was an adult when all of these were released. It's always interesting to me to hear the perspectives of past horror games from younger players. Kuon wasn't successful in the US, and it didn't sell well. The reviews of the game were mixed then and leaning toward unfavorable. I do think it would have sold better had the interest in Japanese horror not been waning. My hope is we'll see a revival and the title will eventually be remade. ObsCure was released later in North America due to a few changes to the game. The North American release has a richer ambient soundtrack than the European release did, and there are a few, minor added cutscenes in the NA release. Years later it would be re-released on Steam, so I think people who missed out on ObScure can still find it there. It another one that received mixed reviews, though the co-op mode was praised as I recall. Anyway, after that rather lengthy comment, good video!
my very first horror game was resident evil 2 original in 90s and still loved the series even with the hated ones re5 and 6 minus re2,3,4 remakes also there is an excellent horror game u should mention is called "Calling" unfortunately only on wii but VERY scary with RANDOMIZED jumpscares that mostly appear when closing up menu and good story
I wish u would dive a little deeper into the games. Some of them, none of us are probably ever gonna play. Would be nice to get the the full layout from beginning to end on them.
I would actually love to talk about their whole stories, but the problem is that the video would get too long. I might make another video soon specifically for their full stories.
Would be nice if you make a video with a deep talk about only SH4... The ghost in the train station that can never be defeated gives me chills.. 😐 Without a doubt, it was the most schizophrenic game in the series 😅
I really feel that you're reading my mind too. I was literally thinking a few hours ago that I or Lucas should make a full video explaining the entire story of SH4 because it's very interesting.
Some games i never heard about and now that i have im so excited lol some still look good to this day. My favorite one so far on the list is fatal frame crimson butterfly which i actually played. Also love siren the shibito ( dead person or corpse person) are like zombies except show intelligence and never stay dead either
I don't why but only 12h later i received the notification for this vid.. 🤷♂️ So, since i left Playstation and went for pc, i don't why but I'm having more opportunities to discover and play more games that I've never heard of before and so much so that it's not for nothing that I'm talking about this, so much so that from time to time, I leave my recommendations here. I bought Cold Fear via Ubisoft for pc 2 weeks ago and i think Nathan have some connection with my mind or read it 😂😂😂 (is not the first or second time) 👀 Thanks Nathan and team for this vid👌 Did you have played these 2 games? The Land of Pain and Alien Cube? If not, play in this order, they are connected 👍
I saw some clips about The Land of Pain, but I haven't had the chance to play it so far. The alien cube also looks very interesting. I'm currently playing an exclusive demo of the game Pneumata that was granted to us by the developer before it becomes available to the public in a couple of weeks. It's a very interesting survival horror game, and I really have high hopes for it. I will be talking about it in an upcoming video.
Silent Hill 4 is best pure horror game ever for me, no need jumpscare its pure scary game. However yeah my fav horror game is Resident Evil Series and Silent Hill Series but this game scarier than the others
honestly never heard of most of these, though i can honestly say im an adult because my first horror games were the first silent hill and the first resident evil back on ps1
Siren 1, 2 and blood curse the real horror game thats how it supposed to be, stealth. People want shooter and roundhouse kicking zombies like resident evil. Too bad, we wont be able to see the likes of siren ever. Hope silent hill will stick to its old formula. Im looking forward to it.
Additional notes: 😀 - The term "survival horror" was first used for the original Japanese release of Resident Evil in 1996, which was influenced by earlier games with a horror theme such as 1989's Sweet Home and 1992's Alone in the Dark. - The First Survival Horror Game: Sweet Home, is a survival horror game released in 1989 by Capcom, in a time where survival horror wasn't considered, by itself, a genre. Sweet Home was one of, if not the, first true survival horror game, since it utilized some of the most important survival horror aspects. - The first horror game first person view ever 3D Monster Maze Developed for the Sinclair ZX81 home computer and released in 1982, could very well be the earliest title to terrorize helpless players from a first-person perspective. - Top 10 Scariest First Person Horror Games - Alien: Isolation (2014) - Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (2017) ... - P.T. (2014) ... - Amnesia: The Dark Descent(2010) ... - Outlast (2013) ... - SOMA (2015) ... - Observer (2017) ... - Condemned: Criminal Origins (2005) ... - F.E.A.R.” (2005) - Clive Barker’s Undying” (2001) Also, in Silent Hill 4 - The Room (2004) and in the first time ever in the series, this game have a first perspective view when you are in the room. Some people talk badly about the game, but I think it was a game above its time.
@@woteveruk1 Yes. Just a teaser that in no way reflected what the actual game was gonna be like. It was reportedly gonna be a third person game, with combat
Penumbra the granddaddy for modern first person horror games correct me if Im wrong I'm not sure 😏 Im seen playthroughs of "Penumbra Necrologue & Twilight Of The Archaic" the mods A new one came out called "Prisoner Of Fate" from CounterCurrent Games
Cold Fear was pretty cool i wish they made 2nd one dont know how it was so underrated Clock Tower Remember watching Cryaotic play the game same with Hunting Ground also Kuon was awesome and intresting Fatal Frame was the only game series that i had Hard time playing becuse man Ghost was something i was scared of like really scared of as a 14 year old and obscure i played it with my brother alot and Condemd i think 2nd one where you can pick up Bricks and throw was so funny when you hit someone with and Silent Hill The Room was my Fave Silent Hill and still is i think 2 is a bit overrated and yes Siren games where pretty hard but fun with the weird see through your enemies Eyes but fun too
oof fatal frame I remember I used to invite classmates to my house to study but in the end I forced them to play fatal frame with me because I was too scared to do it alone hahahaha It was the same with Yu-on, although its not a game as old as these other titles but it still scared the shid outta me
It's true that it was supposed to be a rival to RE4, but I really don't agree that the execution is bad. The game is actually fun, and people loved it. Just because it couldn't compete with the popularity of Resident Evil doesn't make it a bad game. The Evil Within also didn't reach the popularity of RE, even though it's considered one of the best horror games of all time.
playing as a human in horror games are sooooo overrated. can you do a video where you play as a animal? it can be different types of animals, maybe add anthro animals

The fact that the cute little kid in SH4 was actually the antagonist Walter Sullivan when he was a child made the story even scarier.
Very true.
Do you remember the Japanese ghost girl in the subway station where her hair dragged along the floor as she levitated?
same with goes with.... Spoiler
Siren Blood Curse
Kuon was notable as one of the earliest, if not the absolute earliest, times I can remember an enemy following you from one scene to the next.

SH4 & Obscure were such underrated gems, tbh..
Loved SH4, cause all the enemies were different and the whole setting was different. Locked inside your apartment was a great idea, then of course the hole in the wall with the stuffed rabbit staring back at you.
Most people focus on SH2, but I personally see SH4 as the most creative and unpredictable in the series.
@@KazzaGamesTV I AGREE :)
Siren and obscure need a remake on the real
@@teenseenBoy the rake has that monster from obscure
Somehow, i miss the old days horror games. There was something special in their atmosphere because of the limitation of the hardware.
Its somehow makes it more scarier.
Exactly. I feel that the development of hardware these days has made game/narrative designers lazier and less creative.
Condemned was really something else for it's time. Could easily play it again.
I used to love playing Fatal Frame and Crimson Butterfly was definitely the best one. Sae had to be one of the scariest ghosts you encounter in the game as well as the Kiryu twins.
To this day there is no horror game that give me nightmare like fatal frame series did.
I remember the cover of number 10 even though I never played it. I used to go with my older brother to store and browse the catalogue just to see the covers. That one gave me nostalgia.
I wish I got Kuon back in 2004, trying to get that game now is ridiculous. The used game market is out of control.
These days, buying a car is easier and cheaper than buying a console game on the used market.
Even though I cringed at your pronunciations of the Heian period names of the three main protagonists from Kuon, but it came from a sincere desire from you to highlight one of FROMSOFT's niche titles.
Wish you added The Thing. I really enjoyed the keeping of your crew sane. Plus it was pretty scary.
I totally forgot about it. But don't worry, there's a place in another video.

Thank you for including Siren! I absolutely love the siren franchise and it needs more recognition.

it should get a remake instead that will be better

Good luck finding a copy of Kuon. Mine was a nightmare to find and cost way too much x
So im a 90s baby so these are my games
Cold fear was boring when i was a kid imo
Clock tower 3 was okay until it became devil may cry or parasite eve
Pendulum gave me a headache coz of the first person style and the color and texture wasnt my thing when I was a kid
Kuon is a real treat.
Fatal frame 2 is yes the scariest. But i loved 3 more because the house style is like my parent's house as well as the crawling ghost gave me a shock no one had done back then.
Obscure was great and it is also one of the few horror game where you can play with a friend. In my case my little brother, one of the very few memories i treasure the most with him.
Condemned idk this game
The suffering is great but I played it on pc during the dial up days on the internet so i kinda cheated the game with walkthrough
Silent hill 4 is maybe the scariest after shattered memories because of the undying ghost at start. For me, its the og and sheryl's the best still.
Siren og was a gem, kinda gives me a headache playing it but man that was scary coz the enemies early wont die from a revolver shot which is limited

I also felt the same. Kuon had a local success, but worldwide it just passed by, and people only started talking about it recently as a forgotten good experience. When it comes to The Tormented, you really made me excited to check it out.
@@KazzaGamesTV I'm glad to hear that, have fun with it, because it's an amazing experience.
And yea, I also only heard of Kuon with Ragnar's video. I wish I would've heard of it sooner, because what I played of it looks fun and I'm looking forward to playing it start to finish.
A fun video to watch! Love seeing all these older ones, only thing I would have to add would be Haunting Ground, that one was pretty fun too.
Perfect choices bro. Try to play some indie horror games too, they are more likely terrifying and some of them are not user-friendly for a gamer.
I wish you put the original Siren on the PS2 instead of Blood Curse. I haven't played Blood Curse, but the original was just so good even though it was crazy hard too. I had to follow video walkthroughs to get through it. I've played most of the other games on this list though and loved them all.
I’ve always wanted to play Kuon but it’s just never been an option, if I ever get the chance I STILL plan on playing it before I die
Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Director's Cut for the OG Xbox was my shit back in the day. Fatal Frame in FPV was epic! I wish the latter games had that setting. Imagine Maiden of the Dark Water in FPV.
Condemned was such an amazing game. Better than a lot of releases today.
Oh, I'm early! Wasn't expecting that!
I was an adult when all of these were released. It's always interesting to me to hear the perspectives of past horror games from younger players. Kuon wasn't successful in the US, and it didn't sell well. The reviews of the game were mixed then and leaning toward unfavorable. I do think it would have sold better had the interest in Japanese horror not been waning. My hope is we'll see a revival and the title will eventually be remade.
ObsCure was released later in North America due to a few changes to the game. The North American release has a richer ambient soundtrack than the European release did, and there are a few, minor added cutscenes in the NA release. Years later it would be re-released on Steam, so I think people who missed out on ObScure can still find it there. It another one that received mixed reviews, though the co-op mode was praised as I recall. Anyway, after that rather lengthy comment, good video!
my very first horror game was resident evil 2 original in 90s and still loved the series even with the hated ones re5 and 6 minus re2,3,4 remakes
also there is an excellent horror game u should mention is called "Calling" unfortunately only on wii but VERY scary with RANDOMIZED jumpscares that mostly appear when closing up menu and good story
Calling is such a cool game. I'm really glad you brought it to my attention. I would definitely include it in an upcoming video.
@@KazzaGamesTV i dont easily get scared by ANY video games
I wish u would dive a little deeper into the games. Some of them, none of us are probably ever gonna play. Would be nice to get the the full layout from beginning to end on them.
I would actually love to talk about their whole stories, but the problem is that the video would get too long. I might make another video soon specifically for their full stories.
The Suffering was one of my favorite games
I could never find Silent Hill 4. I didn’t even know if you could order it or not
Would be nice if you make a video with a deep talk about only SH4...
The ghost in the train station that can never be defeated gives me chills.. 😐
Without a doubt, it was the most schizophrenic game in the series 😅
I really feel that you're reading my mind too. I was literally thinking a few hours ago that I or Lucas should make a full video explaining the entire story of SH4 because it's very interesting.
Siren: Blood Curse definitely needs a modern remake, so I can play it on my PC.
Some games i never heard about and now that i have im so excited lol some still look good to this day. My favorite one so far on the list is fatal frame crimson butterfly which i actually played. Also love siren the shibito ( dead person or corpse person) are like zombies except show intelligence and never stay dead either
I don't why but only 12h later i received the notification for this vid.. 🤷♂️
So, since i left Playstation and went for pc, i don't why but I'm having more opportunities to discover and play more games that I've never heard of before and so much so that it's not for nothing that I'm talking about this, so much so that from time to time, I leave my recommendations here.
I bought Cold Fear via Ubisoft for pc 2 weeks ago and i think Nathan have some connection with my mind or read it 😂😂😂 (is not the first or second time) 👀
Thanks Nathan and team for this vid👌
Did you have played these 2 games?
The Land of Pain and
Alien Cube?
If not, play in this order, they are connected 👍
I saw some clips about The Land of Pain, but I haven't had the chance to play it so far. The alien cube also looks very interesting. I'm currently playing an exclusive demo of the game Pneumata that was granted to us by the developer before it becomes available to the public in a couple of weeks. It's a very interesting survival horror game, and I really have high hopes for it. I will be talking about it in an upcoming video.
I know about Fatal frame crimson butterfly because I really liked to watch my sister playing the fatal frame game series.
Silent Hill 4 is best pure horror game ever for me, no need jumpscare its pure scary game. However yeah my fav horror game is Resident Evil Series and Silent Hill Series but this game scarier than the others
Penumbra was the best! Found it in reverse after playing Amnesia.
Awww. Was hoping Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth would make the list.
Isn't Black Plague the second game? Overture, Black Plague, and Requiem was the 3rd?
honestly never heard of most of these, though i can honestly say im an adult because my first horror games were the first silent hill and the first resident evil back on ps1
I was so happy my top fav horror games made the list
The suffering and silent hill 4
Siren 1, 2 and blood curse the real horror game thats how it supposed to be, stealth. People want shooter and roundhouse kicking zombies like resident evil. Too bad, we wont be able to see the likes of siren ever. Hope silent hill will stick to its old formula. Im looking forward to it.
Additional notes: 😀
- The term "survival horror" was first used for the original Japanese release of Resident Evil in 1996, which was influenced by earlier games with a horror theme such as 1989's Sweet Home and 1992's Alone in the Dark.
- The First Survival Horror Game:
Sweet Home, is a survival horror game released in 1989 by Capcom, in a time where survival horror wasn't considered, by itself, a genre. Sweet Home was one of, if not the, first true survival horror game, since it utilized some of the most important survival horror aspects.
- The first horror game first person view ever
3D Monster Maze
Developed for the Sinclair ZX81 home computer and released in 1982, could very well be the earliest title to terrorize helpless players from a first-person perspective.

Also, in Silent Hill 4 - The Room (2004) and in the first time ever in the series, this game have a first perspective view when you are in the room.
Some people talk badly about the game, but I think it was a game above its time.
Fun fact: Silent Hill originally presented itself as *horror adventure* and not survival horror
does P.T really count? it technically wasnt really a game it was a Playable Teaser, hence the name P.T
@@woteveruk1 Yes. Just a teaser that in no way reflected what the actual game was gonna be like. It was reportedly gonna be a third person game, with combat
Why does no one ever talk about echo night beyond? The ps2 game. It’s a survival “horror” game about a man trapped on the moon with spirits
Played Fatal Frame 4 back then, totally fun but the ending traumatize me, now I can't see every twins the same I see irl anymore thanks to this game 😂
Damn I have physical copies of everything but 7 and 8.
Penumbra the granddaddy for modern first person horror games correct me if Im wrong I'm not sure 😏
Im seen playthroughs of "Penumbra Necrologue & Twilight Of The Archaic" the mods
A new one came out called "Prisoner Of Fate" from CounterCurrent Games
True. The success of Penumbra motivated its developers to create Amnesia, which was also another influential game in the genre.
@@KazzaGamesTV Exactly man!!
Man you have one idea how much I love first person horror games!!! LOL
I'm still sad nothing else has been done with the cold fear ip
I still buy and keep and play again even at 66 and loveing it 😮😅
I Don't think there's a more disturbing or scarier game than Silent hill 4. Maybe only if Silent Hills got released
Agreed. I feel like the first Evil Within game tried to emulate SH4's concept and plot.
yeah but the first evil withing was amazing too@@KazzaGamesTV
Cold Fear was pretty cool i wish they made 2nd one dont know how it was so underrated Clock Tower Remember watching Cryaotic play the game same with Hunting Ground also Kuon was awesome and intresting Fatal Frame was the only game series that i had Hard time playing becuse man Ghost was something i was scared of like really scared of as a 14 year old and obscure i played it with my brother alot and Condemd i think 2nd one where you can pick up Bricks and throw was so funny when you hit someone with and Silent Hill The Room was my Fave Silent Hill and still is i think 2 is a bit overrated and yes Siren games where pretty hard but fun with the weird see through your enemies Eyes but fun too
oof fatal frame
I remember I used to invite classmates to my house to study but in the end I forced them to play fatal frame with me because I was too scared to do it alone hahahaha
It was the same with Yu-on, although its not a game as old as these other titles but it still scared the shid outta me
The Crimson butterfly 🦋…. 😱
Great to know that all I need to do to qualify as an adult is play these games 😂😂😂
Just to be clear they dont give me a memory they give me nightmare instead still cant finish a single horror gamr espcially Silent Hill💀
The room infidelity deserves a remake, the last interesting silent hill game .
Cold Fear supposedly released to be rival of RE4 at that time, but the execution is really bad
It's true that it was supposed to be a rival to RE4, but I really don't agree that the execution is bad. The game is actually fun, and people loved it. Just because it couldn't compete with the popularity of Resident Evil doesn't make it a bad game. The Evil Within also didn't reach the popularity of RE, even though it's considered one of the best horror games of all time.
Eyyy! EARLY :)
I love Horror.
You forgot haunting ground 🥲💔
Crazy concept; You don't have to have kids. You can use your money and free time on YOURSELF!
COLD FEAR OMG !!!
playing as a human in horror games are sooooo overrated. can you do a video where you play as a animal? it can be different types of animals, maybe add anthro animals
FATAL FRAME : CRIMSON BUTTERFLY
