Denvirus Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 In honor of today, let's discuss everyone's favorite horror games on the PS4 - current and upcoming. I recently saw Emily Wants to Play has come out for the PS4. Definitely looking to get that one. Also been hearing good things about Until Dawn, but it might not be that great of 'horror.' What are your thoughts? Anything you are looking forward to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakebit10 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Outlast is a good start. I wouldn't consider Until Dawn Horor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Layla Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Outlast IN THE FIRST PLACE !!But you can choose alien isolation, slender, emily wants to play, daylight or even lone survivor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I'd go with Until Dawn. If you like campy "teens in the woods" type of horror movies, it's great. Other than that, I might boot up the ole P.T. demo for my annual "let's see how many times I can walk around this single looping corridor before I poop my pants" competition with myself. If you want something a bit more energetic, try this year's DOOM. Not strictly a horror game, but you get to fight demons so you could get away with playing it tonight. It's insanely good.

xWinson Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I loved Until Dawn - I would say the first half of the game is slow with cheap jump scares but the latter half is horror/thriller where the atmosphere is super creepy and has intense set pieces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameoncomrade Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Both Amnesia games will be coming out for the PS4 this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I completely forgot Bloodborne. That's a really good game with a strong gothic-horror setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaserPL Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Until Dawn. Bought it today, felt in love with it already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taobaka Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Alien: Isolation and, maybe, Soma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Such-A-Goonie Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I played through Weeping Doll for PSVR today. Short, but I liked it. Didn't know anything before I played it, which made it surprisingly fun. The best game for Halloween on PS4 is Costume Quest 2, in my opinion. Played through it from start to platinum last Halloween. Absolute blast. :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeetWolf2 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I you count Grim Fandango as horror, then you should check it out. It's a fantastic game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcrunch061 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Bloodborne. Obviously, you can't play it all in a single day or anything, but nothing beats its great, atmospheric feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy_Oglop Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Alien:Isolation and/or Until Dawn - both tapping into two different genres of horror, but both very enjoyable games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beyondthegrave07 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 P.T. is the definition of a horror game. I played it twice with different people and it's disturbing the first time, but after you get caught once, then it's horrifying. From that point forward, you are constantly tense about where "she" will get you. You panic to try to solve the puzzle before you are grabbed. I feel bad for horror fans who never got a chance to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckSwimmer Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 When I see the words Horror and PS4, I instantly think of Outlast. I've never personally played it because I just can't handle horror games lol. From what I've heard, it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucileRose Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Evil Within is a good horror, plus it's a great game in general. Until Dawn isn't much of a horror, it has jump scares but after awhile you're able to guess what's coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgrave Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Alien: Isolation does a really good job of being nearly defenseless on a ship where an alien can kill you at any moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResidentScrub Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Alien: Isolation is my favourite horror game on PS4. A lot of people are saying Until Dawn.....gotta say, I've been more and more tempted to buy this recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidou Kuzunoha XIV Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Soma is pretty good, and so is Alien: Isolation. When I think "horror games", I think games that make you feel like you're never safe, and that you don't have much (or any) means of defence or escape if you get spotted. Those kinds of games have always given me that classic feeling of uneasiness I want to feel when playing a horror, rather than games with just constant jump scares that you get desensitised to after the first one, like Until Dawn. Outlast was alright, but it became more annoying than terrifying pretty early on. The monster patterns were too predictable, and I can't say I ever really felt that "fear" that I was completely helpless. I played the first Amnesia game several years ago on my PC as well, one of the scariest horror games I've ever played, so I'll add that to the list since the collection is releasing on PS4 later this month.

Such-A-Goonie Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Until Dawn isn't getting much love in this topic, but I think it's a great horror game. Sure, it isn't scary if you're horror fan, but I see it as an ode to slasher (and another genre) horror from the 80s. Obnoxious kids which at first you'd like all to just go ahead and get murdered, but after a small while you do start feeling a little attached to them. Deliberately cheesy dialog and plot, I think it's really wel done. It does rely on hump (gonna leave this in because autocorrect made me laugh) scares too much. I'm guessing to drawn in the modern horror crowd who grew up with Paranormal Activity and Insidious and that kinda stuff. Still, I can really recommend it if you're a horror fan. It's fun, engaging, atmosphere is nice, silly. I had a blast playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThroughTheIris56 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 For strictly horror Outlast and The Evil Within. For a a great game with horror themes in it, Bloodborne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jak Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) (Being for PS4 makes this easy for me.) Favorite Horror game (PS4) is Dying Light (especially at night, in-game). (As usual, theres some misconceptions with the term horror here.) Until Dawn is my second favorite and more importantly is factually a horror game with legitimate terror and scary elements that is built with UD as oppose to awkwardly existing in game or trying to exist in the game where it seems tacked or forced on. If youre playing in raw daylight and not using headphones to, your opinion is hardly valid, as youre not getting the full experience (which is different from boosted experience), especially with head.ps. Want to talk about a horror game that isnt actually scary, then that would be The Last of Us (but it is terrifying, which is something every horror game should be as that is the major element that sets the horror theme), another horror game but also weaker surivival-horror game in the horror field. While Until Dawn has a weird concept that makes it seem like a survival horror, its not that standard one we're use to seeing, like in Soma, Alien Isolation, and Outlast. UD is a interactive (survival?) story horror game. As some have said above, its just in a different genre but its factually scary and horror due to existent game aspects and mechanics like jump scares (some of which that are inargubly unpredictable), creepy and terrifying atmospheres, suspensful (lack of better term) music, never feel safe feeling.. even for this genre, actual horrific events in game, etc. Looking forward to? Im still looking into it, theres so many other games to keep up with that I forget the upcoming horror line up frequently. Honorable mention- Alien Isolation.

IMaySlayLizDaw94 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 The only right answer here is; Until Dawn Beautiful graphics. Meaningful choices Great story and it's truly scary at points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
