Any good horror games on PS3 people would recomend? I have played a few horror games,Iv played siren:blood curse(Really like that game especially how scary it is and the fact you have to hide from the shibito then you get to kill them XD (their really anoying so the joy at the end to kill em feels great XD ) ):D:D and one on the Xbox where you take pictures of ghost( forgotten the name of it) XD

Dead Space 1.

2 and 3 are more action and less horror as you go along.

Silent Hill HD collection.

Probably have more luck just buying a PS2 and playing Silent Hill 2, Rule of Rose and the like tbh, I don't think this generation has really gotten the substance into their horror titles, being more interested in pretty graphics and aping movies.

Good luck finding Rule of Rose anywhere, took me weeks to find it for my brothers birthday, had to import it in the end. He'd agree with you though, PS3 was a terrible console for horrors

Manhunt isn't exactly a horror but the atmospherics in it are top notch and a good few frights so close to a horror I'd say.

Was Manhunt not banned?

I would second Dead Space...brown trousers.

I have heard of dead space quite a lot actually. I seen my friend playing it at his house it seems more of an action game rather than horror. I find a good horror game to have really freaky creatures and really scary atmosphere too keep the game really intense as you play along

Dead Space would be classed as a horror(dark room + headset), the other two are action games.

Siren blood curse is a great game, but since youv played it already op, you should check out silenthill 2, you might even get some fun out of SH Downpour if you can find it for cheap..
I havnt played part 3, but dead space 1 and 2, theres not really much in the difference between the amount of action in each of them. And none of them are scary, but have great creepy atmosphere and at best afew jump scares here and there. I cant see how anyone would consider the first a horror and the second not. There was just as much action in the first.
There both the exact same thing pretty much, but i liked the second better for its pacing. and in the first game, once you hit mid point in the game, you basically back track the way you came for the second half of the game, where as the second is always moving to new areas..

If you have a ps2 op, you should check out, the suffering 1, and the thing, and like someone else said, manhunt 1.

Found the Manhunt games to be terrible. Same crap over and over again and once you seen the crapy death animations there was nothing else to the game.

haha I would agree it is a good game but the ending I didn't like it because the ending seemed a lot different from most of the actual things you do. Like through the game there was never a need to kill bosses like at the end where you have to kill the guy with a gun fight and killing the last boss with some light saber. Just when I finished it I was lik what kind of ending is that? XD downpour I played the start of it on a 360 but the game was not mine but it seemed good. But the level of how scary it was,was not as much as siren though I do have a ps2 but ps2 games are hard to get now...

Rule of Rose is available at normal money but you are importing it from Europe, checking out ebay.fr/de/and so on will often produce results.
The PAL version is sold on the continent, and the instructions will be in a european language, but the game itself has English as a language option, as it was quite late when it was pulled from UK/Irish release.
Here's one in France for €39.90, Link
You may have to ask him/her to ship to Ireland but most will.

Is the Silent Hill HD Collection not full of terrible ports that suck the atmosphere out of the game? Ain't played it myself, but I hear that it really ruins the experience.

Manhunt 2 was banned here, but the first one was available. I think it disappeared for a little while though.

I thought the original one was incredible. The atmosphere was heavy, and the enemies were terrifying. The sequel, however, was absolutley awful.

I agree with everyone who mentioned the first Dead Space though. I thought it was the scariest game since Silent Hill II.

SH2 HD collection got patched on the ps3, the 360 didnt get the patch, instead konami offered a refund/game swap or some bs.

I have the collection on the ps3, and they did fix the fog/atmosphere in part 2.... i tryed playing part 3 afew days ago, and i turned it off 20 mins in... idk it just looks bland as fuk, the framerate is a joke and the voice sync is off on all the dialog in the cutscenes.....
it might be worth picking up for part 2 if you can get a good deal on it...

"I thought the original one was incredible. The atmosphere was heavy, and the enemies were terrifying. The sequel, however, was absolutley awful."

fully agree, manhunt 1 was a gem, i didnt bother with part 2 though.

I disagree with you comparing DS1 to SH2, silent hills psychological head f*&* horror is on a different level then anything dead space ever done, or ever could do. dead space is a good action/survival horror more comparable to resi games

Taltos

What about Alan Wake - ok not a really scary one - but turn off the lights and boost the surround sound - not too awful and quite cheap now I would think.

Isn't Alan Wake only on Xbox and PC?

But you guys are right tho PS3 is really lacking on the horror genre.

Taltos

Sorry - you are right.
Have both so got confused there.

They are two different beasts, to be sure. However, Dead Space was the first game that really scared me since Silent Hill II. Even though it's a different kettle of fish, and it shook me in a different way to SHII, no game in between them had quite the same effect on me. Both are terrifying, I reckon.

Retr0gamer

Dead Space is just dumb jump scares. There's no comparison to Silent Hill 2.

I'm not comparing them. I said they were two different animals. I'm simply stating that there were no games I played in between these two releases that scared me as much as these did. Therefore, I believe that one is the scariest game I've played since the other.

Klair88

Play the PSN game Limbo, Not really horror-y but has a dark mood and atmosphere and if you play it alone in the dark with gaming headphones, it amounts to quite an eerie, creepy crawly, grainy black and white platformer Game. Well worth it imo.

jaxdasher

Oh and watever you dont buy Amy from the psn store ... don't be tempted by the low price. there's a reason it's low.

Kiith

Get a low end pc, and play Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

And understand what real horror is :P

penev10

Dark Souls is the best survival horror this generation. Well it's the only game that comes close to being a survival horror.

PirateShampoo

FEAR was a pretty good game, i enjoyed the first one.

I've only ever played the second one. I expected a horror, I got just another bland shooter.

I LOVED FEAR1 and i could not even push myself to finish 10% of FEAR2. Such a shame after a briliant FEAR1. You should get that. I remember AI was damn fantastic in it too.

I still would Recomend Dead Space 1 and 2. Yes, Yes, dead space 2 became more action paced, but it is still great game. I think its strongest point is Location you are being thrown at. Enemies are very cool too. Both MUST play if Horror survival is something person looking for.

Funny thing about this one. I love my horror survival games, but i found this one boring as **** and not scary at all

I might give the first one a spin then. Is it out on Xbox360?

Looks like there is, but i am not sure how easy its going to be to get it. I played it on PC m8.

Not to worry. I like a good hunt for a game.

PirateShampoo

Its a good choice, it made me jump in a few places. And you will love the first time you nail someone to a wall with the Bolt gun.


Its on Amazon, but i wouldnt pay that price for it.

Almost tempted to dust it off and have another bash myself.

Has that game been out on the ps3 for awhile? it seems pretty good. Looks like skyrim :rolleyes:

Haven't played skyrim :rolleyes:(), but the two game are completely different.

Dark Souls is one of the best games ever made, imo.

Highly recommend both Souls games - neither of which are horror games.

degrassinoel

Skyrim is brilliant in it's own way. It's no horror game though.

gimli2112

Totally agree Dead Space 1 dark room/headset turned up.
It's nowhere near scary on subsequent playthroughs and you know what to expect in DS2 but that first playthrough is very good.

Sugarlumps

Manhunt is awesome. The Thing was killer too.

Azza

Dead Space.
Doom III BFG Edition.
F.E.A.R.
Silent Hill 2.

Can't think of anything else on PS3.

were you playing it alone in the dark with headphones on? GET TO IT. So good.

SirLemonhead

FEAR isn't scary at all. Stupid scares that you start to ignore after not too long. Condemned : Criminal Origins is where it's at for a scary game (also made by the same company + same game engine)

[CrimsonGhost]

If it's pure horror then Amnesia, the Dark Descent.

If it's more survival horror, then Dark Souls might be a good bet, not exactly scary, but dark brooding themes, and you will fight to survive.

Just finished Doom 3: BFG myself lately. The first two Dooms on it are much more atmospheric than the third installment, I reckon.

Alone, in the dark, all doors closed. 5.1 Speaker setup. Tried twice so far... both times just got bored and stoped playing.

How Soon Is Now

No love for Resident evil ? lol

I know they have turned into adventure/shooting games now but i remember when i was younger the early ones giving off a really weird and freaky vibe.


That fecking dog jumping threw the window in the first one was always a bitch !!! :pac:

The first 2 Dooms have no atmosphere to me.

Doom III did at least when it was relased. It was another game that benefitted from turning off the lights and putting on a headset. Like other games of its type the scares tend to wear thin after a while.

I'm pretty sure I could make one of these internet giff memes about your dislike about the direction Dead Space and Resident Evil have taken yet you find Amnesia boring.

However your post did remind me of the Alone in the Dark Series. I know the last Alone in the Dark got panned but apparantly the PS3 version was quite abit better than the others.

biggebruv

Alone in the dark the new nightmare was a freaky one IIRC terribly gunplay though with sh!t enemies but the game was freaky in parts

Silent Hill 1-4 are packed with creepy moments
Resident Evil Remake is eerie and still looks amazing today shame it has not been ported over to PS3/XBOX360 its probley the only RE thats genuinely horror filled
Dead Space 1
Amnesia (PC only iv heard is supposed to be really scary)


these are all games that have to be played at night COMPLETELY ALONE!! sound cranked up or with headphones otherwise it will be a laugh you need to settle into the right environment with these "scary" games playing in the day with a mate cracking jokes is obviously gonna remove any scare factor that any game provides

Hitch11

Condemned was a great game when it came out, pretty damn scary. Not sure if its out on ps3 but i know condemned 2 is.
