I just played through Resident Evil 4. Can't believe I never gave this one a try before. Awesome game and surprisingly long too (took me nearly 20 hours of gameplay to beat it). Tough to say if I like the moving camera better than the traditional still camera though. That added a lot of atmosphere.
For anyone who's played RE 4 though, is there any way to kill those regenerator zombies besides using the rocket launcher? I must have tried everything else on them but nothing worked. Last edited by Thom Yorke; 08-25-2011 at 12:28 PM. |

We'll probably never see another "true" horror game in the AAA game industry ever again. Horror is such a niche genre and the costs of making AAA games is so astronomically high that it's not worth it in the end. That's why AAA horror games have more of a focus on action now. Resident Evil 4 laid down the ground work that has just been built upon (kind of) over the last 6 years. For true horror you'll have to delve into the indie market and find games like Amnesia: The Dark Descent or the Penumbra games. I think the last AAA horror game that actually frightened me was probably Condemned 2: Bloodshot but even that wasn't anywhere near as frightening as the first Condemned game. This Rise of Nightmares game looks like it could buck the trend, but like fuck I'm shelling out an additional $150 for the Kinect... also the game is being developed by the House of the Dead team so I expect horribly written/delivered dialogue and an over-the-top evil antagonist.

The Dead Space series triumphs over all other horror games I've played in recent times.
It's an epic game, it's longer, more entertaining and has better set-pieces and originality than the first. However, I would've liked a few boss battles. It does have some jumpy moments. But, I think you get to an age where horror games no longer keep you up at night. The multiplayer, imo, isn't very good. Apart from that, it really is a good game, and I'd probably agree that it's the GOTY so far. |

I really liked how physics based and grounded in reality the puzzles were. I'm used to resident evil where you collect a key to open a box that has a half-circle which combined with another half circle opens up a door to the big key etc. In amnesia your just throw a chair out a window to get through the window. |
