The scariest game series!

Resident Evil has my vote on this one. Which gaming series do you find to be the creepiest, or best for that matter? the RE1 remake gives me the absolute chills. The PSX version was scary enough, but now with added photorealistic environments and Crimson Heads, that mansion just gotta hell of a lot creepier :)

I like Doom 3 the best (the other doom series were fun but they aren't even remotely scary). Yes, it is very dark but really that is what makes it a great game. You hear something in the distance and you flash your flashlight at it and it turns out to be a hellnight.

FEAR was just a lot of hollywood special effects, so it was good but a bit too cheesy.

I haven't played Silent Hill or Resident Evil, though. My friend played Silent Hill and it just sounds really cheesy and weird.

They were for the time.
I've only really played DooM, so I can't say much allong the lines of what was scarier.

I would have to go with Resident Evil, I haven't played F.E.A.R yet and Doom seems to be more of a bloody demonic game to me then scary. I played Resident Evil when i was a little kid and it scared the crap out of me :oops:

I agree that Doom 3 was indeed scary, but it lacked the moments that make you jump suddenly. Even the Suffering had a few of those. Too bad it only let me put four choices :)

Even DooM had a few (yes, that is possible on a sprite-based game, lol)

Silent Hill!! Shit, i was playing it on my PS2 when I got to a scene where i went into an apartment room, and some creature started clawing at my characters feet ... the controller nearly went through the screen

lol. Yes, Silent Hill 2 (and also 4) were the scariest in the series.

Nothing in Doom 3 really made me jump, just kept my heart going. Plus I was waaaay to busy marveling over the amazing graphics :D

I used to play Doom as a kid, so...

Yeah, Doom gets my vote. >_<

I have only ever played FEAR. It had some moments that got me. Like the one early in the game where the guy jumps out of that random corner and hits you. I was not expecting it.

The sewer levels in Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire for n64. No joke.

I used to think resident Evil was scary when I was younger, and I haven't played the others, so RE gets my vote. :wink:

Good answer Coco! Yes, you must play the more recent ones with the updated graphics :D

Agreed. I was a just a little kid when I first played that and I'd have to say some parts were pretty freaky for me. Especially on I think the last level with the snow yeti's.

FEAR isn't a series(yet) so don't bring it into this even though I completely disagree with whoever said it was cheesy. It just actually had a story unlike Doom or Quake...

But as for my scariest series, I would have to go with the RE games too. Only played a few but there were some good moments and good scares.

Thanx Dos. Luv the sig as much as your answer :D O and a little added fact. F.E.A.R. just came out with a sequel ;)

i'd say fear because seeing a dead corpsy girl screaming at you at 3 in the morning then seeing a dead body run across your screen isn't quite settling

I haven't played F.E.A.R. but it sounds scary...either way, RE still get's my vote :D

FEAR is amazing, one of the best games I've ever played, but like I said, it's still not a series. Not until the next one is released...
