Angryhead posted:Played through Neverending Nightmares for the first time last night, got the Destroyed Dreams ending. Condemned is goddamn fantastic. I somehow missed out on almost 50 pages of this new horror games thread but I've also just beaten Neverending Nightmares (wish this game had more to it) and have gotten to night 3 in Five Nights at Freddy's (which is fantastic for how simple it is).

Speaking of permadeath, has anyone actually played Ghostship Aftermath and is it as tedious as the GB Quick Look makes it seem? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enYvj30MCHk

Haha how the gently caress does this even come across as a good way to do options? Thanks for the writeup, it at least sounds like something that's worth a look but drat are those some strange hangups.

So I just played Five Nights at Freddy's on a projector with a big room full of people, most of which has never seen it before. What a loving fantastic game to play with an audience, everyone getting freaked out and cracking jokes and screaming about which cameras to check and such.

Here's hoping they add some new gameplay elements to Outlast 2. I liked the first game but it really need something other than running and hiding even if it was super rare single use items to distract or take out enemies. Also all their talk about parkour was complete garbage.

Zombie Samurai posted:In addition to the three main dungeons, there's an extended ice-themed dungeon based on At the Mountains of Madness, and a timed score-attack mode set in a hellish asylum. The developer added both of these post-launch, and continues to re-tune the game to great effect. I played Eldritch back when it launched and it is an even better game now, with more threatening enemies and better balance. As a Roguelike, an FPS, and even a horror game, I can earnestly recommend this one. It's cool that the dev has done this. He made mention that when the game was released he considered it done as a simple, small project but people liked it so much that he's gone back and added additional content for free.

Lone Survivor's map is unforgivable and when I played it I accidentally answered the question at the beginning of the game that disabled it completely save for at certain points in the game where you find a new one. What a poo poo design decision.

I played the PS3 version of Alone in the Dark and while the story was poo poo and some gameplay segments were bad it wasn't completely broken or anything. The free roaming Central Park section was actually cool as hell. If they had stuck to that and discarded all of the driving and QTE and linear platforming segments leading up to Central Park people probably would have actually liked the game.

catlord posted:So apparently Denis Dyack is trying Shadow of the Eternals again, with a new company called Quantum Entanglement Entertainment (because I guess Precursor Games' reputation was too tarnished?) and I guess it's supposed to be company that does Video Games, TV and movies, and that the company is going to work to converge them and allow fans to influence things, which strikes me as a little odd considering Dyack's notoriously dictatorial rule over Silicone Knights. As yes because a convergence of video game, TV, and film has worked for any company or property ever I'm sure Successful Game Developer Denis Dyack will pull it off.

Beat Outlast: Whistleblower. Kinda neat but not really spooky other than a number of jump scares. Since after playing the original game you know absolutely everything there is to the story and the setting there's nothing left but jump scares since the actual inmates and Walrider are more goofy than menacing. I mean it's a loving Super Ghost. I really hope they add more mechanics to Outlast 2. Make the camera be more than just night vision goggles. Give the player some ability to do anything other than run and hide. Get away from the story of the original. Something, just mix it up. e: oh and gently caress that buzzsaw guy. that entire section was tedious and terrible because having an enemy you can't fight against just teleport to every new area you go into is the most contrived bullshit ever Yodzilla fucked around with this message at 17:34 on Nov 1, 2014 |

Haha wow this is sub-God Mode levels of bad. Holy crap http://store.steampowered.com/app/275060/?snr=1_7_15__13 And speaking of bad, I just finished Knock-Knock and eeehhhhh. Even after I learned the rules of the game it was still kinda tedious as hell and by the end I just wanted it to be over. I liked what they were going for and the graphics and sound were great but it's just not a very fun game.

Hel posted:Someone on twitter mentioned that their previous game was so bad they actually remade the company to get away from it. Really curious what their first game was now. Reminds me of how Saber Interactive created Oldschool Games to pump out the reskinned shitfests that were God Mode and RIPD. They were both just Inversion with a co-op arena focus and somehow even worse. e: wow i brought up God Mode twice in two posts

1stGear posted:People got motion sickness from HL2 when it was first released so I imagine it on the Rift would be a non-stop vomit comet. Any game where Rift support is hacked in so that what was controlled with the mouse (aiming) is now controlled with your face is going to make people blow chunks. Speed of movement only makes it worse. I tried to play Quake deathmatch with the original Oculus dev kit and I felt sick for like two hours afterward. The fact that early dev kits were super low res, super early drivers, and had no way of adjusting the hardware to the user's face amplified these issues a ton. I haven't used any of the newer Oculus Rifts but I've heard that they're miles above the original shipment. So no it's not really the Source engine itself, it's just games being made Rift compatible without much thought into how the Rift is being used that's the issue. If you get an original Rift and play the driving segments of Half-Life 2 it's much better than the shooting parts because sitting in a car seat looking around is way more natural than strafing and aiming a gun with your face.

The sad thing is that the guy who made Neverending Nightmares is dead set against giving the player more things to do in the game.

That makes the let's play of it I watched doubly funny with the dude dutifully examining each portrait like "Okay this guy in this portrait looks like an older version of that guy in the other portrait. I'm sure this is deeply symbolic and also relevant to the story." Ugh I had no idea about that. The loving portraits were one of the few things that actually stood out to me and I was constantly trying to figure out what they were. So now I know Neverending Nightmares has even less going on. Cool.
