PSU's Top 3 Scariest games to come...

Posted on November 2nd, 2007 at 08:45 EDT

(continued from previous page) ...and schools, players will tour such environments as an abandoned Doll Factory and an immense garbage barge.

Outside of creepy levels, frightening enemies will be in abundance. Everything from a toasty burned victim to facially disfigured bums will leap from corners and drop from ceilings, thrashing and biting. Not the kind of people you want to meet in everyday life.

Then to top it off, Monolith Productions has cooked up another bizarre and twisted storyline. Puzzles involving the dead, finding a lost partner, and fighting with inner demons all provide for one creepy tale.

 
Release: 2009

Synopsis:

Set approximately ten years after the destruction of Raccoon City in 1998, Resident Evil 5 takes place in modern day Haiti, where series veteran Chris Redfield, now working for an organisation known only as ‘BSAA’, has been sent into a remote village to investigate a series of mysterious of incidents. Redfield soon encounters hostile activity in the area, and is forced to defend himself from the local inhabitants, who appear to have become contaminated by some unknown form of malevolent viral infection.

Faced with overwhelming odds, Redfield’s survivalist skills will be pitted to the limits as he is forced to defend himself using a variety of weapons, including handguns, shotguns and automatic weaponry as he battles a seemingly relentless onslaught of foes, some apparently human -- some not. Building on the highly successful Resident Evil 4, this latest instalment incorporates the extolled ‘over the shoulder’ gameplay elements seen in its predecessor, allowing gamers to experience survival horror from an entirely new, frantic perspective.
 
 
Why is it scary?

Much like its predecessor, Resident Evil 5 looks to be an amalgam of frantic, fast-paced action punctuated with droplets of tense, fear-inducing set pieces and battles. Players will once again be faced with the intimidating task of eliminating literally horde of enemies at any one time; a far cry away the select groups of slow, lumbering undead of past games. This combined with a truly drop-dead gorgeous visual experience should ensure it is also quite simply one of the best looking games available for the console, let alone one of the scariest – which can only help to fuel your fears.

True, while little has been shed on the game up until this point, you can rest assured that Resident Evil 5 will undoubtedly live up to its predecessor in every possible respect, including that ever-important pant wetting fright factor. With god only knows what kind of other horrors await Redfield beyond that of his human-like adversaries seen in the recent E3 trailer, Resident Evil 5 is sure to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the very best horror titles PS3 has to offer over the next 18 months.

silent hill is some scary Sh#t, it's my favorite horror game of all time. i also agree with dannyjt, RE4 wasn't scary, its still a good game, and the action kept you on your toes, but who would be scared of the same 3 or 4 people walking slowely at you, oooo!! look out their eyes are glowing! oh no!

Seriously Mallanaga? The demo wasn't that scary to me. I know a 12-year old kid that played close to the screen with loud volume at night and he wasn't scared! Although if it was scary... Maybe he's a messed up kid... 0.o
