There's a difference between scares and shocks. Stuff jumping out at you from around the corner is startling. It isn't scary. There are plenty of horror games out there that don't resort to cheap startles like Dead Space. Not a bad game, but not scary. True horror in games is an artform, you can't just have some dead-looking zombie jump up from the ground when you walk near it 20 times in a game and call it scary. It just gets boring and predictable.

Worst article ever. Should've known only trash like this could be found on NowGamer.

No mention of SystemShock2 was a slap to the face. =(

The DeadSpace encounter thing wasn't even scary. Obvious weak-point was obvious.

Wait, NowGamer is publishing articles?

(Checks story)

Oh wait, no. It's still the same heat-spammed garbage we know and loathe. My mistake.

System Shock 2 did horror with more style and effectiveness YEARS before Dead Space.

Glad to see Aliens vs. Predator on there. Got around to getting classic 2000 edition on Steam. Really intense but also unfairly difficult at points.

ALiens vs Predator on the Jaguar on the marine campaign was the scariest game EVER.

I expected nothing and I'm still disappointed

Like with Fallout, it's starting to feel studios are using TV / Film adaptations when they have no game info to talk about.

toxic-inferno204d ago

I feel the same way.

I mean, how difficult would it be for them to release SOMETHING of substance? Another short trailer? A couple of proper hints? A short story set during the original trilogy, but focused on fringe characters?

Hopefully they're working so hard on the game that they don't have time. But still, with every passing year and so little to show, the franchise will be slipping further and further from people's minds.

Profchaos204d ago

Yeah agree it's almost a cop out since Dev times are 5 to 10 years just throw out a few seasons instead you get them done in a year

jznrpg204d ago

I still haven’t beat Andromeda. I am waiting for a lull of good games in my backlog

P_Bomb204d ago

So the TV show will take place after the OG trilogy. I wonder which ending they’ll use?

Rebel_Scum204d ago

Should’ve just posted a picture of an Elcor saying “regretfully, we have nothing to share.”

Happy early April fools day 🤣

That one episode of Billy & Mandy where the very fabric of reality was destroyed when Mandy smiled. That's what'll happen when Valve finally counts to 3.

CrimsonWing69430d ago (Edited 430d ago )

Is this kinda like when it was supposed to be at the 2024 TGAs?

Xristo430d ago
