• You shouldn't have Slender'd my Old Snake

*First real attempt at animating with 3DS Max 2012, so I apologize if movement seems a bit choppy*. I may just be alone here, but having played Slender, having read the creepypasta bits, and watching Amnesia online, I just don't see what's so scary about any of them. Hell around 3 notes in, I found myself looking for Slenderman just to see what was so frightening, and after searching a lil while with that heart beat bumping up in volume, I eventually found him, ran towards him, and after I guess dying, was dumbstruck. "That's it?" Literally all I could muster. And that exact same scenario has resulted in dozens upon dozens of videos of gamers just screaming their heads off when that sock-faced anorexic pops up behind them despite them knowing the guy's right there. Could just be me, but I find that baffling. Maybe it's a generation gap or maybe I just don't scare easy, but is this really what people are afraid of these days? Or is stuff like the 'Slender reaction videos' just like a silly trend that's in the [I]'now'?[/I] [video=youtube;ysf3_3V5sOw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysf3_3V5sOw&lc=8mgB2qfZRwfmUn6xHtzcat3YBFBcuImYWPjvApV0iSI&feature=inbox[/video]
Great video. Slender and Amnesia always reminded me of The Fear's fight in the river, where there's no real interaction. I find that games that invoke real fear come from themes or gameplay that invoke fight or flight reactions. Silent Hill and Resident evil are great examples.
Penumbra. Fear the unknown for the first game, fear what you barely see the second game, fear yourself the third.
Haha wow, sums it up perfectly.

[QUOTE=don868;38603990]Penumbra. Fear the unknown for the first game, fear what you barely see the second game, fear yourself the third.[/QUOTE] I think that's where a lot of my dumbfounded confusion kicks in. The first time if never playing it before, okay, MAYBE there's grounds to be a little unnerved. However, surely after a while, folks get what these games are about and know what to expect, right? So then, do people make videos like this to flaunt cowardice and get a laugh or are they genuinely pissing themselves over these games?

*Sorry to double post, but there's an issue I need to address that hopefully someone familiar with Autodesk (namely 3DS Max 2012) can help with. See, in the actual video, I unfortunately had to end up using a picture for the BEN statue, because the actual model always looked choppy as if it were missing textures in the render. In fact, when the last shot plays, you can actually see how choppy the BEN statue really looks from its' side. Every time I set it to Color Consistency, it looked just fine in the perspective modeling. In render however, it looked almost like it was always set to 'realistic vertex'. Is there any way to adjust the render settings so it renders with Color Consistency as well? Or is it a different problem entirely?
