ULTRA SCARY PC GAME?

Podmonkey · 2 Nov 2010 at 10:36

Would suggest Amnesia but being as you want to show off the graphics aswell to show up the lolbox then it might not be the way to go. Have a look in the Halloween sales on steam for some good ones. For graphics though with some sort of scaryness then its Metro 2033 all the way, its not that great a game but it is a great hardware showoff. If you see them on offer then get both, destroy her xbox faith then finnish her off with Amnesia.

If the new AVP wasnt a little bit meh then the marine campaign could have done the job too.

from what ive played personally, stalker:SOC with the complete mod and also condemned.

Come to think of it STALKER call of pripyat is graphically very nice (xbox certainly has nothing to rival it) and can have its atmospheric creepy moments similar to SOC

Minecraft

Not joking.

OK, we needs some kind of scale here

If System Shock 2 is 1 on our scale (the base line) on our scale, how scary are these other games?

Cant beleive no-one mentioned doom 3, one of the scariest FPS out there, even though a couple years old, max out all settings and trust me she will see that PC's knock consoles to the floor

Please don't hotlink Dave. Thanks. VS.

Dead Space.

Awesome graphics - check
Lots of scares - check

I wasn't that impressed by the graphics in dead space (on pc), it seemed to me like they new the consoles couldn't handle big textures but didn't bother to have higher quality textures for the pc version.

I think people think consoles look good still because they use something similar to morphological anti aliasing on the new 6xxx cards which has a very small performance hit, and you use it on a big TV that you sit a few metres away from so your brain tends to average out any jaggies.

Hmm, graphics are average and the scare moments aren't scary, they remind me of Resident Evil.

Dead Space?

You need to show her the Ravenhom level on HL2 with the cinematic mod 10

Ordinarily I wouldn't moan about graphics. But Doom3 doesn't have much besides the graphics

Those screens look absolutely awful. Everything looks plastic; even the organic stuff looks plastic.

Amnesia is very good, but I never found FEAR to be scary at all.

agreed though this game is a couple of years old, still one of the scarriest.

Is a great game. For me it's sitting just below SS2, and waaaay above BioShock.

System Shock 2
Dead Space

BioShock.

Sorry I just can't resist having a snipe at BioShock; one of my more anticipated games that turned out to be a total dud.

A few people were on here were saying that Amnesia on Steam is quite scary. It has a demo as well.

i nearly fell off my chair the first time i played that

in all fairness, it's not that bad..

:rolleyes:

Unfortunately there are not a lot of ultra scary games out for the PC unless your going a year or 2 back. FEAR was awsome and so was FEAR 2, but if you want to show off the graphics it would have to be crysis.

I really enjoyed Bioshock.. thought it was quite a breath of fresh air, and has a scary sort of psycho aspect too it rather than just pure scare. Nothing beats the opening scenes!

the 2nd one however, just no.
