The game looks great, the trailers look great and I truly hope it will be terrifying. But, the one thing that bothers me is the graphics. I know graphics aren't everything (hell, I do own a DS don't I), but after looking at some of these videos and I see the type of creatures there are, I can't help but laugh at them. They are so old school looking and not scary or disgusting at all. They remind me of the creatures in Wolfenstein 3D. I am scared that the graphics will ruin the scary aspect of the game for me. I am thinking that the story will more than make up for the lack of graphics and I certainly hope i'm right.

Also, I hope the game will truly scare me as I usually play my DS before going to sleep at night. I usually play in bed with lights off so hopefully it will increase the scare factor.

No video game should ever scare you. EVER.

Except maybe.. A Cup of Tea.

Ah, the good ole days. Yeah, I actually thought the same thing. But a game can still be scary without 21st-century pyrotechnics. I still find RE: DS creepy everytime I play it, and I've played it countless times now. I think the music and sound effects can play a huge part in setting the mood, and so can scene set-up. A monster lying in wait can always have a nice little startle factor if done right.

Eh, just play it, enjoy it, and then report back.

Seriously, you guys should try A Cup of Tea.

It's a Homebrew FPS, but it's amazing! You can't strafe however.

The damn phantoms come out of frickin nowhere and start shanking you to death. (You only get 5 hits till you die.)

Search it up on GBATemp's Homebrew Database!

A couple of video games scared me:
Clive Barker's Undying
and Doom 3

Let's see if Jericho does the trick again
But not this game, the graphics suck

The only game that has every scared me was (I was 15 at the time I believe):
The Blair Witch Project.

Why? cause you moved so fking slow and the ghosts move so fking fast at the same time, they appear like ghosts would naturally.
