Does Shadow of the Colossus count?

not in the remake HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

nobody would buy a game about the american obesity epidemic

Dead Space and later RE games have some cool body horror stuff.

Is that Ginny?

that looks ginny

Its next to impossible to get the gut reaction that good body horror brings out with CG and computer graphics. You need the squishy, oozing, nasty practical stuff from the best of the genre.

Like you could never do Society in a game because it would just lack the visceral nature of the physical effect work. I just want to see more shit like Eraserhead and Jacobs Ladder thats not just Silent Hill.

How are you defining "body horror"? Because every other horror game arguably contains body horror. It's not even remotely rare. Shit, they don't even really need to be horror games, e.g. Halo has body horror.

It has to make you uncomfortable

Bowser’s Inside Story was good

Me personally? Or do you mean you? Or John down the street? What kind of fucking definition is that? We aren't all made uncomfortable by the same things.

That sounds like an amazing premise for a comedy/horror game

Not that idiot but "Body Horror" is a niche horror genre.

clearly john,this motherfucker is hard if something makes him uncomfortable you bet your ass it would make others too.

When it was just released I was pretty down with Heavy Rain so when your tourist iguana toy passes you the note to clip your fucken finger bro and you have to do it for a camera in some shoddy apartment where you have to look for shit to do it with the realism of the scene(location wise and stuff available) you have to kinda think about how you would do it yourself and that get's you invested in your Cyber-Finger.

But I guess that falls under regular suspense so it doesn't really count.
Body horror in games is hard to do because you are not really being confronted with worms wiggling in your left leg if you play with an over the shoulder camera.
Furthermore a large part of Body Horror is the feeling of uncertainty and with games if you want the player to see something you gotta put in on rails and that then takes away any uncertainty.

Deadly Premonition, actually. System Shock 2. Bloodborne. Dark Seed.

>i have no body but i must body horror

I bet Harry really wishes that he had gone with Hermione now.

Source on that please. Is that some Ito or whatever his name his?

>nobody would buy a game about the american obesity epidemic

She's the British Harry Potter chick. Ron's sister/Harry's wife.

there's a discord stirring up some cross-pond bullshit right now

>turn on toucan sam vision
>see tracks
>A water hag, gotta be

what does this mean

Nope.
She already hit the wall.

Whats happening with her face?

What about dead space 2? The indian who bails you out of the nuthouse gets turned into a zombie right in front of you.

>body horror
because it's all boring garbage

I feel like I've seen this before, is this from GUNNM?

But they'd still be dead because of the lack of cardiovascular system.
