Why Old Horror Games Are Much Scarier Than New Ones
Hey Friends!
In this video, we'll do a comparison of old horror games and new horror games and try and come up with an explanation as to why old horror games seem to be much scarier than new ones. To do so, we will take an especially close look at atmosphere and design, gameplay, and technical limitations and try to explain exactly how these factors influence both new and old horror games.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy! :)

    To me the music and beats aren't the problem... I can go an entire all floor run without missing a music beat. I'm quite good at rythm games, and being a percussionist for 15 years also helped... I ended up beating a cadence all floors run from never playing the game in about 6 hours. 99% of which was just learning enemy and boss patterns. The problem is the characters have such dumb or stupid play styles it gets frustrating. Also me being dumb and hitting a wall on accident when I clearly had my brain tell my finger to do a different action

    Sound design is huge part of it for me. Resident Evil 2, the original, is the best entry in the series for me in that and several other respects. The moaning, shambling blank-faced zombies actually felt like mindless husks, unfeeling and uncaring, guided by basic instinct. The remake's angry-faced snarlers make me think of enthusiastic zombiewalk marchers. Nothing in them works for me. Though I have to give it to the remake that Tyrant/Mr.X stomping around looking for player was a real step up.

      It’s not that. It is the same reason I find old horror films scarier than modern ones. They rely more on atmosphere, building tension and dread, as opposed to using a cheap jumpscare every 30 seconds. Old games did the same thing. Relied on atmosphere and psychological horror, as opposed to creating the equivalent of a modern horror movie. Don’t get me wrong, modern horror films and modern games can be really fun, but my point is it’s not as simple as just not being young anymore.

  • @mohammadtausifrafi8277
    @mohammadtausifrafi8277 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I think one factor with old game models is that they remain in a zone between recognizable and unrecognizable, so you have to keep constant attention. The more realistic models on the other hand are clearly recognizable, so do not require such attention. Your brain registers them once and can be relaxed afterwards. This constant need for attention makes older games scarier.

    My theory is that older games were made by artists who wanted to tell a story or try out a new experience, new games are 99% made by huge companies that only cares about profits. Im a huge survival horror fans with a kink for grotesque monster, and it was sad to see that monsters nowadays almost looks the same! its always this giant with huge arms and claws, probably cus thats whats "hipp" now.

  • @RealSpiralSage
    @RealSpiralSage 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I'm sure this has already been said but just in case: the reason for the percentage disparity when looking at the trophies on PSNProfiles and looking at them on your system is that PSNprofiles only tracks PSN accounts that have been logged on PSNprofiles. So if you never had your account logged on PSNprofiles, it wouldn't show up which is why the percentage is much much lower than it is on the playstation network. The percentage seen on your console is the far more accurate number.

  • @UsaraDark
    @UsaraDark 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Is it healthy that developers have achievements like this? It feels like if I attempted these achievements, I would be questioning my life choices about how I got here. Maybe because it's a rogue-like it might be bearable since there's some variety and no pure repeats, but it still sounds insufferable.

  • @isaacvargasazofeifa6361
    @isaacvargasazofeifa6361 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Another reason, maybe silly, but perhaps the game were scarier because you played them when you were younger, a child even. As an adult you are less surprised because you have seen it before.

    On steam, looking at the global stats, there are two achievements that are at 0%. These are from the synchrony dlc, and I'm unsure if they were there from its initial release (2022), or if they were only added with the recent full release (March 2024). I'm still surprised either way that they're sitting at 0% right now. One is all zones co-op with cadence, dorian, melody, and aria. The other achievement is possessing teh urn as chaunter. Teh urn is another RNG thing like the green bat. It has a .5% of spawning per floor if it hasn't already spawned in the run, in comparison the bat is ~.02% of spawning per room in a floor. Teh urn also shows up in a secret room so you have to thoroughly search every floor for it... I can now see why they're both at 0%.

    I think it's kind of neat. They wanted to create a difficult game and then create truly challenging achievements that are not simply a checklist but something that not everyone could get but that is possible and others could look up to those that had achieved them and say, "Damn, that's something."
