Some of the vaults has horror elements. Now combine this with limited equipment and you are set.

I agree, nothing supernatural, however the maze with strong enemies is an good setting.

Maze with deathclaws isn't scary. Difficult maybe, but not scary.

Id run and cry .

@Eddo36 Well I have played Minotaur Maze with my friends, and it was scary, and difficult.

If they want to put in real horror, it has to be human.

That's the most effective kind, the kind that could actually happen or have happened.

They already stated that they will start adding some horror elements similar to a horror writer's work... I am sorry the name escapes me, it's on the tip of my tongue...

H. P. Lovecraft!

Cool, I just hope they don't do it for the whole game, we don't have that much post-apocalyptic games. (Not counting zombie games)

Yes it did!

I wouldn't mind some of that in fo4

If Centaurs are returning, then it will have it's horror elements.

@Anthosis Those things are freaking creepy, but in a good way.

a Miley Cyrus ghoul stalks you thru the woods. Franticly you run till you cant run no more. looking back you trip on a tree root falling to the ground. When she jumps you screaming in your face she yells she came in like a wrecking ball !!!!.

yes, yes and yes! but i dont want this pathetic excuse for horror that most games give you these days, i want real horror! the small creepy things that just don't add up, the things that seem perfectly normal until you look just a bit deeper and things that will only bother you after you've long left them behind

I can't agree enough with this point. Going the jump scares routes the equivalent of fast food and dammit, I want the prime rib with all the trimmings.

Imagine a vault similar to Silent Hill PT. As you walk from corridor to corridor you start to see subtle changes that hint at the demise of the vault dwellers.

'Horror' can be a lot of things. 50's science fiction had a lot of horror elements, so some dangerous critters lurking in dark corners sound okay to me.

I hope they leave the supernatural stuff out, though. One ghost is plenty.

An unghoulified Miley Cyrus is horror enough for me.

What I liked about Fallout 3 is how you get many different types of emotions depending of the place you were. There were places which were disturbing and terrifying (Dunwich / vaults / Andale), there were places that were sad ( Oscar Zulu) and also funny places ( Computer entries in office buildings etc).

As a horror game fan I think some horror elements are a must in Fallout, but not too much so player doesn't get desensitized. A good balance of sadness, horror and comedy and it will be great.
