Most Anticipated Games

[Vogue_Dirge]

Rule of Rose is the scariest game I've played. Even thinking about it makes me shiver. That was a true survival horror game!

[Biohazard EX]

Well, I dunno... I played it for the first time this summer, and it only scared me at first, but after a while, that effect heavily faded. But maybe I've grown somewhat numb to horror in general. The last game that actually creeped me out consistently was Silent Hill Origins. And that was around this time last year.

[Alexia_Ashford]

About 12/13. But bear in mind I was about 7 when I played RE1, 8 when I played RE2, etc, and this scared me more than when I played those for the first time, which means it had to be doubly scary to have the same/worse effect when I was nearly twice the age.

[Biohazard EX]

Well, you were how old?
I dunno, I thought it had some creative ideas. But I didn't enjoy it all that much.

[Alexia_Ashford]

CV didn't scare me at all apart from that opening cutscene where a dead body is dragged under that house. But I don't enjoy games just for their scare factor. I got this game, not knowing what to expect (I got it years ago, before I was part of any online community and had heard nothing of it). Put it in, and the sanity effects freaked me out. Scared me so much to the point after that bathroom cutscene, I just saved it and turned it off, and didn't dare play it again for at least another month.

The scary parts of that game were when your sanity meter hit rock bottom and shit like the fake "YOUR MEMORY CARD IS CORRUPTED, YOUR SAVED GAME HAS BEEN DELETED" message popped up and the way it pretends to screw with your TV's settings.

That wasn't like, horror scary. It was like, "Aww crap, you stupid machine" scary. It wasn't horror, it was more like, mindfuck. It was cool and effective the first time around. But it didn't creep me out.

Then it must say something if the majority of people who've played it put it on a pedestal. I love that game and it takes a lot for me to say that, about any game. I love the characters from CVX more but if I had to say which game I enjoyed playing more out of the two, I'd say Eternal Darkness. It's brilliant and I'd recommend any fan who's ever played Resident Evil and enjoyed it, to buy this game.

Well, Code Veronica wasn't that scary for an RE game.
But I played Eternal Darkness, and see, things like that, like, "It's brilliant," is what I was expecting, and I was severely disappointed. It's really not brilliant. The ideas were brilliant, but the game itself is good. Just good.

It's underexposed. But not underrated. Not a lot of people have played it. But those that did put it on a pedestal and I think it's too much.
I honestly didn't find it that scary. Aside from that bathroom scene, and the very first time you're in the mansion, there wasn't anything that scared me about it.

[Mr. Spencer]

This is probably going to be considered blasphemous by many people, but I have never played a single GoW title in my life.

[Biohazard EX]

GOW3 is going to be an amazing game, probably the only reason I'd consider getting a PS3. Eternal Darkness isn't overrated, infact I find it to be one of the most underrated games I've played. I love the game and its story and the ideas, it's brilliant, and it genuinely scared me a lot while playing it. That scared me more than any Resident Evil game ever did.

It's an okay game, and it's pretty unique, but I didn't feel like its true potential was realized.

i hope GOW3 lives up to the hype, something games this generation have consistently FAILED to do.

[Biohazard EX]

Not that I can see. He was with GOW2 and with Chains of Olympus. But it doesn't seem like he's working on this one at all. But he did see the stuff they're working on, and they don't just let anyone into the development studio. So maybe he's just overlooking it, either way, he's impressed.

[missvalentine]

is he still involved in the development in any way?

[Biohazard EX]

Who knows. Maybe he got so much money off the first one that he decided to take a break?
Either way, since it was Sony who published it, it's their property, and they can have anyone they want making the GOW games. It's not Jaffe's property.
