...They are older franchises, but they continue to have entries to this day. RE has been with Nintendo since its 2nd game. I'm not sure I understand your point.

I played Zombi U, and say what you will about it but I whacked the shit out of zombies with a wooden plant. I think a creepy faceless guy is probably fine.

Nintendo's not as like, open source though. Like these indie sorta games generally aren't as common with it. Portal for instance didn't come out for it. I'd really like to play Slender on the big screen though, but I've been a total Nintendo fanboy since I was like 3, so I don't see myself getting a Playstation or Xbox just to play it.

Never played The Arrival on the PC. Maybe I'll start on that sometime. Is it any good?

[TheJoker]

It's pretty good. I do wish it had a little more content and gameplay variety (saying this based on the LPs I've watched because I suck at the game and can't get past the Eight Pages.... let me rephrase, I really suck at the game), but it's nonetheless properly scary and lots of fun.

It's sorta like a lite, arcade sort of horror game -good for short fixes, whereas Amnesia's a better "full package" type game (relatively speaking.)

And even my crappy old laptop was able to run it, so I'd say it's worth grabbing, especially if it's not coming to a console your way.

Ah. I dunno if it's that Nintendo itself is trying to weed out adult franchises now so much as that the developers see them as a family company and don't think of going to them. Basically, I don't know if Nintendo themselves would have a problem with Blue Isle publishing STA on Wii U so much as Blue Isle might have a problem with it. But whatever. We'll see what happens.

[Ztakk]

I don't know either. Just saying that there doesn't seem to be many adult titles on Nintendo consoles nowadays, and you don't see Nintendo itself delving into the adult market either much.

Thinking about this on consoles, it somehow feels like it'll be less scary. At least for me. Typically when I play games on a PC, I'm much closer to the screen, and I've got headphones in, etc etc. On a console, this doesn't seem like the same experience. No one is sitting THAT close to their TV with the volume THAT loud.

Any Oculus Rift users try using it with the PC version?

[Ztakk]

I think there might be some gameplay footage from some of the Let's Players. I'd be willing to play it with the Oculus Rift is someone is willing to buy me it

Wait, I don't get what you two are talking about.

The Oculus Rift is a head-mounted display gaming accessory that allows a player to view a virtual environment in full panorama.

To me, it seems that horror games that involve close quarters and limited spaces are the usually the scariest types of games.

Resident Evil Remake on Gamecube did that perfectly providing both music, atmosphere, and limited spaces to run. Slender games only scare me when I go into a house, are in the bathroom area, or in another building such as when you have to turn the power on in the underground area. The open woods lose its scare after the first five slender appearances.

I'd love to see the Oculus Rift mixed with a game like Resident Evil Remake, but first person this time around. Outlast would be amazing with the Oculus Rift.
