Two new thing of impressions. I asked this question:
"I'll ask the question. Scares are subjective, and honestly while I expect the game will have a few moments (and I know it can have a few tense and startle moments, from the PAX demo), have you experienced anything you would say is scary, or creepy, or struck you particularly in these first 6-7 chapters?
On that accord, you should be getting close to half-way through the game (either half-way through chapter 8 or at the end of chapter 8 would be the half-way point, depending if its 15-16 chapters). So far, what's some thoughts on the game, like how good, compared to recent horror games, compared to the old RE games, to you, how does it compare?
Sorry if a bit hefty, can decline them, just very curious."
One replied:
"The atmosphere is really oppressive, especially chap 5, the enemies themselves are not really scary imo. Probably because Survival has a lot of supplies, way more than I expected and when an enemy can drop 6 bullets I don't feel that scared."
The other giving more detailed non-spoiler impressions;
"I think RE4 was the best game of the 6th generation of consoles. Its pacing was awesome as you said and this feels no different than that. Yes, so far it does lives up to the legacy of RE4 so far. And in some cases it surpasses it imho. Like atmosphere, art design, characters, story...
This game is tense and at times scary. But the game's main point is being tense and putting survival above all else. First of all there are really rare games which i would call horror games like Silent Hill 1-2-3 and maybe 4., Fatal Frame series, Amnesia The Dark Descent. This game is not a horror game, if anyone is expecting stuff like the games i counted, they will be disappointed. This one is more survival-action oriented one. And when it comes to scares the games scares are not jump scares. It scares you mostly because of the atmospehere. It just keeps you on your toes because of that but never like the jump scares of RE 1-2-3-5-6. It don't have anything to do with old RE games except 4. It just takes 4, changes setting, makes the tone more serious, darker, takes away most of the cliche story related stuff of it and gives you more gameplay mechanics (fire, upgrading, stealth) to have fun with.
There are not many games i could compare this to, it is much more action oriented when compared to the likes of Silent Hill and it is much more serious when compared to RE4. Think of this as an adult man's RE4. (RE4 fans please take no offense as its one of my favourite video games ever but the story was too shitty or childish for that matter). Also say hi to my fellow GAFfers.
