What spooky retro games are you playing this season? For me, it's MediEvil.

for me it's this old romp, getting rooked by these scary as hell Jasons. i always consider trying to get further in Clock Tower every october, but it's too stressful and esoteric for me right now, need chiller frights

Why?

Demon's Crest

Might play Dino Crisis. Anyone know if it's casual blind shitter friendly or am I going to have to restart and start routing when supplies dry up like a motherfucker at the two thirds mark?
Always a 50/50 with survival horrors.

I never beat the RE games so I went through RE2, which was awesome. I then did RE0, which was mid.

Different developers

I've been playing this off and on. It's so rough trying to beat it, pure rng. Which I like, mostly, but it's shitty in higher levels. If you can't find the victims fast enough, they'll all be dead. You got a known where they are ahead of time and grab a few before they die. I've been fully loaded, tons of lives, then boom. 4 times in a row, all the victims died before I could even take like 5 steps. Infuriating, got a game over due to it.

Tomb raider 1 and chronicles. Honestly fits the creepy vibe. tomb raider has a real eerie vibe to it.

>>12107496
I don't think there's any argument that Tomb Raider is at least a light horror game wearing an adventure game's skin.

You play all survival horrors by savescumming a little bit. If you get attacked and mauled by an enemy, don't just waste 2 items on healing like a cuck. Reload and try to sneak past it.

Played through Splatterhouse with a 3cc limit and the final attempt ended up as a 2cc. Excellent experience, minus Stage VI (bubble baby hallway boss). I'm saving the genesis sequels for next year, but I might check out the chibi famicom one.

Not true for Medievil. Both were done by the same team.

>>12107310
the guy in fire looks cool.

>>12107259 (OP)
None, seasons are not a factor in my game selection. I'm currently playing Chelnov.

If you look at both pages side by side you'll see most ppl on the dev team (SCEE Cambridge Studio, not the producers) of the first also worked on the second, sometimes in different roles plus more people.

went through the resident evil games particularly RE2, RE4, RE6 & darkside chronicles for leon's story. considering how short those games were i thought about going through RE1, RE3, RE5, REV & umbrella chronicles for jill's story next.

incidental to the season but I'm just playing through all the castlevania games
and I was messing with emulation today and booted RE4 and played a bit of medievil yesterday too

>>12107259 (OP)
Currently playing Koudelka. It's not scary, but it's kind of great. The soundtrack is cheesy and doesn't fit in a horror style game, but damn is it catchy.
>>12107345
Definitely try RE1. It's basically just RE2 but with better puzzles.

>>12107259 (OP)

> Koudelka

How's combat? I wanted to check it out but I changed my mind after reading reviews that it was too easy

>>12111717
I haven't found it difficult, but I generally don't find retro turn-based games to be difficult. They're usually easy for 90% of the game, then crank the difficulty way up for the last couple bosses.

I expect this game will probably follow the same formula. It's a comfy game though and I'd say it's worth a play. It's certainly unique if nothing else.

>>12111712
Can't /thread your own post, looks insecure.

>>12107259 (OP)
love me some MediEvil for October

maybe I'll finally bother to play through RE3

>>12107259 (OP)
I recently played through D and D2. I don't know what I was expecting, but it was certainly not... that.

>>12113990
Huh what's the story with no resale sticker?

>>12107259 (OP)
I beat Silent Hill 1 but thats it, I got sick so i havent felt like playing vidya

Feel better soon, have some ginger tumeric tea or something.

>>12107259 (OP)
why are there never any new spooky retro games
it's like the same spooky retro games just get played year after year
there should be new ones

>>12118558
You can't really make new retro games anon

Lol @ that filename.

IIRC, there was a brief time window when Japan officially illegalized reselling used games. This didn't last very long.
