all these silent hill and resident evil things don't scare me... they only have a 'boo' effect when things pop out.. that isn't scarry.
OK, scary probably isn't the right word - I haven't even seen a horror film in a long time that's actually 'scared' me. 'Unsettling' is probably a better word.The thing I liked about Eternal Darkness is that it didn't just go for the cheap 'boo' effect: as you're exposure to monsters etc. increased, you'd start to lose your sanity, which resulted in some very odd things start to happen. Some quite subtle, that would have you start questioning you're own, real sanity. :)
I thought it was a great, novel idea for a game.
