How do we fix the horror genre?

Shut the fuck up you shitposting retard. I got recommended this fucking game in another horror games thread. Play more games.

By executing developers who put in jump scares instead of genuine effort to make stuff scary

lmao whats your reddit name?

what a pleb, lost in vivo is fucked up. I stopped playing in the first hour because I was too frightened

>LOVECRAFT'S CAT

>Wah wah wah blease don't scare me with no warning :( I need to be able to see the horror coming from miles away because I'm a huge pussy that only plays horror games for clout.
Jump scares are unironically based

A horror game relying on jump scares to induce fear in you is like a comedian coming up and tickling you to make you laugh instead of telling a good joke.

Here's the gist of what I'm talking about. I had this idea for a game where you controlled an operative going in to face off against a cultist militia. However, the other operatives and soldiers are rapidly killed off by the cultists and their biological and spiritual horrors.
You're now alone, stranded behind enemy lines in a massive industrial complex, and are forced to witness the human heart at it's darkest.
It sounds like a horror show, and it is. But not for you. For the cultists and their monsters. Our protagonist will witness and do battle with all sorts of horrifying things, and yet the fact that seemingly none of it can slow him down isn't glossed over. He is, by all accounts, a normal man, and yet he's managing to kill the fuck out of things that should've torn him into ribbons a while ago.

NIGGERMAN SAVE MEEEE

Based and redpilled.

imaging straddling those giant tits and voidfucking the black hole where that hot monster woman's face should be.

>RE2re has zombies play dead, and killing them summmon bigger guys like lickers and Mr.X, while re1 remake has zombies you don't decap turn into crimsons
You could also make a case for the plaga enemies in that it often makes them a lot more dangerous than they are by default.

Do not sexualise horror monster girls, that's not appropriate.

I think you would probably have to approach this from the hotline miami\farcry 3 angle.
"You like killing. Don't you?" Kinda vibe. The horror would come from the creeping certainty that the protagonist survives because he's getting off on the violence and the gore, and I think it would go without saying, we would have to prod the audience into questioning whether it's real or all in his head. No answering that question though. We want \v\ threads where they just post picture of protaganist and ask "was it real?"

Like that cute carton horror game where you get a bad end if you axe everything

By not presenting things as scary and or life-threatening, and instead show them as mysterious and unexplainable.
Less is more.

You can't, horror is for women and teens or those with the brains of such, and therefore innately shallow.

All entertainment media has been stale for a while, except maybe music

There has NEVER been a "scary" video game that actually got under my skin and I was still thinking about it days later.

Why are video game developers such fucking amateurs?

By disempowering the player. No checkpoints either, players need to actually have stakes when it comes to being in danger and a big loss in progress always works. This forces people to actually pay attention and tread carefully when they explore new, unfamiliar areas. The second a "horror" game has checkpoints, it's not scary, hell it's not even tense.

Metal Gear Solid 3 has a section that has you encountering everyone you killed as ghosts.

Make failure inexorable
World of Horror does it pretty nicely, too bad the game can't be scary.
Like FEAR, make everything worse and worse until you fail or win, but if you win, you have to feel like you only slowed the inevitable and something that can't be defeated is coming.

Have you played soma? The existential dread staid with me for days

fuck is that comic
