I'm looking for a good horror game,with no action focused,
I already Finished Silent Hill 2,3,4
1 feel "oudated" for me,but I wanted to Play the Remake for the Wii with Dolphin,but it's unplayble duo a lot of bugs,so I will wait for PS2 version
Eternal Darkness Still not playble with Dolphin
,anyway what game you can recommend for me until then?

Resident Evil perhaps but it's a bit outdated and the later titles are more combat focused, Silent Hill Homecoming perhaps but again it's more combat oriented.

Obscure and it's sequel might also work but it can be a bit of a problem to manage for everyone to actually survive. Very Happy

Cryostasis perhaps but more about combat than horror.
(Similar with Condemned and to a degree the first Fear game.)

Some adventure titles also have various degrees of horror elements but might perhaps be a bit slow?

It was supposed to but Monolith split from that company (And later bought back the "Fear" rights instead of just calling their game "Project Origin") so I've no idea if it's still planned. (Similar to the ports of Manhunt and recently it's sequel though that's Rockstar.)

If you're talking about Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, it's perfectly playable on Dolphin if you do some tweaking. Penumbra series is also a good choice.

Edit: what about fatal frame 1 on PCSX2?

well,I didn't said "no action at all" I said "no action focused"
Silent hill you can find some action,but that's not the focus.

Fatal Frame 1 is playble,but 2 and 3 not, I tried it,still menu only,and I heard that 2 and 3 are better then 1,I want to play 4 that working great with dolphin,the problem is,the English translation Still didn't finshed!

Yeah, WTF at TFU. I mean jeez, the Jedi series is like a fucking sure fire cash cow. Just make Jedi Academy (in the sense that you create your own dude), set in the Old Republic and let us at each other with lightsabers. It would be grand. Oh and mix in some other game modes like space battles and the like.

In your opinion.


And no, I didn't. I mean fun and entertaining and creepy. A thoroughly great game (and millions more, as well as 89-86 on Metacritic, agree with me)

Eh, it felt too predictable to me, always the same encounters, backtracking and having mobs respawn etc.

While this might have been acceptable back then, i don't think it's acceptable for a game from 2008.

That maybe true in terms of graphics and audio (I sure as hell wouldn't want to play a Vectrex game these days, and end up being charged €50 for the privilege) but gameplay? Meh, we'll have to agree to disagree there because classic formula is classic. Hell, the Wii is still getting 2D platform titles and they're awesome fun to play.

Just because something isn't original, doesn't mean it's not a winner (eg; Dragon Age Origins, nothing original about that game whatsoever - but STILL a spectacular game) IMO it's all about the sum of the parts.

+1 for the first two penumbra games
awesome
(if you're miffed about the gimmicky combat, you can disable it in the .ini)
the third one was really just a collection of leftover puzzles, but fun nonetheless

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is by far the most scariest game of the past decade.Great game too but it had too many trial and error situations.

+100 for it being a great game, my favorite horror game.

The scariest was probably Alone in the Dark 1, played that one as a kid and there was nothing quite like it, just walking around the house and listening to the wood squeak was scary as shit Sad
