Siliconera Saturday, January 4, 2025 6:45 PM Best Japanese PS2 Horror Games       The PS2 was, for gamers at the time, a marvel of technology compared to its predecessors, and many studios created some masterpiece horror games that took advantage of the console's new capabilities, as well as its limitations. Japanese horror games in particular shaped an entire generation on that console, with many classic series and games debuting from that country. Here are some of the best Japanese PS2 horror games that are sure to spook you even decades after their initial release. There are several PS2 horror games that have achieved legendary status over the years. Perhaps it's due to their unique story, or maybe it's just due to the fact they're really, really scary. Here are some horror games you definitely need to try if you want to get into this genre, no questions asked: Fatal Frame series: Any game from the Fatal Frame series is sure to provide hours of terror. Each one places you in the shoes of a hapless female protagonist who needs to explore haunted locales, armed with only a magical camera for protection. The ghosts are legitimately horrifying with their ghastly and sudden appearances. Haunting Ground: Part of Haunting Ground's fame comes from the fact that it's next to impossible to find in English nowadays, unless you're willing to pay hundreds of dollars for it. It amps up the fear of stalkers and sexual violation, and employs a unique style of gameplay in which you rely on a dog to help you survive or solve puzzles. You can read our retrospective of it here. Resident Evil 4: Technically, this was a GameCube game, but it later appeared on the PS2. As one of the best-selling Resident Evil games, everyone has surely heard of it, even if they haven't played it. It's a more action-focused installment of the classic horror series, in which former rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy faces off against mutated villagers and bioweapons to save the president's daughter. Silent Hill 2: The remake from 2024 is a fantastic adaptation, but the original one is just unforgettable. It follows the story of James Sunderland, who travels to the town of Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his wife. The only problem is: his wife died three years ago. Other games in the Silent Hill series are very popular as well. Those are the most obvious recommendations that everyone should check out. But what if you want something more specific, or you're not feeling up for a specific type of horror? Here are some other Japanese horror games you can check out, provided you can get them on the PS2 or a modern console: Best Horror Game to Frustrate You: Siren and Siren 2 You know a studio means business when its commercial gets banned for being too scary. Image via Sony Computer Entertainment Japan. Siren and Siren 2 are classic J-horror games that have made their mark on history for a variety of reasons. While they're notoriously frustrating thanks to obtuse objectives and difficult combat levels, they provide an unforgettable experience. Siren follows Kyoya Suda, a normal teenage boy who stumbles upon a ritual sacrifice in the village of Hanuda. Following the sound of a siren, he and the other villagers find themselves in a supernatural version of Hanuda, in which the water runs red and corpses come to life as Shibito. Using the power of Sightjack—a psychic ability in which they can see through the eyes of other people—they must survive and escape while investigating Hanuda's dark past. The second game has a similar set-up. However, it has different characters and lore, as well as takes place on Yamijima. Both games focus more on psychological and supernatural horror—pretty common in Japan. But the main draw comes from the surprisingly deep story and lore, as well as the cast of likeable characters. Both games get so frustrating that they actually stop being scary. So they're ironically great to play if you want to acclimate yourself to the genre. Best Horror Game to Make You Think: Rule of Rose Image via Punchline "There is no such thing as bad publicity" is a quote that you can really associate with Rule of Rose. I don't know about you, but the only reason I even knew about it as a wee lass was the fuss that moral guardians raised over the perceived deviant content of the game. While Rule of Rose isn't exactly a masterpiece, it combines both realistic and supernatural horror in a story full of twists and metaphors that it'll haunt you for days after you finish it. Rule of Rose focuses on Jennifer, a 19-year-old woman who infiltrates an orphanage and finds herself treated like garbage by the girls there. During her time in this orphanage, she meets and befriends a dog named Brown. As a whole, the game is a psychological horror focusing on the mutual fear that can exist between children and adults. It's impossible to discuss too much of Rule of Rose without spoiling key twists from the game, so I highly recommend you play it or watch a Let's Play online. Like The Suffering, Rule of Rose isn't scary to play, per se. It leans more towards frustrating than anything else. Most of the horror elements comes from its brutal story. It's one that'll stay with you for a while. Its many metaphors and symbols can make the game inscrutable at first, but it can be fun to discuss the plot and themes with someone else. Best J-Horror: Kuon Image via FromSoftware Kuon is a survival horror from FromSoftware of Elden Ring and Armored Core fame. Its scary atmosphere, as well as its unapologetically Japanese aesthetic, may have vindicated it from its poor reception in the past. In Kuon, the player takes control of three protagonists—Utsuki, Sakuya, and Abe no Seimei—who explore the Fujiwara Manor during the Heian period of Japan. Using their powers as onmyoji, they defend themselves from the various monsters wandering the estate. Like other games in the genre, survival isn't the only thing on their minds. They also want to investigate the haunted manor to solve mysteries from the past. Kuon wasn't popular at launch. Reviewers at the time criticized the combat and puzzles, among other elements. Today, though, its unique gameplay—a combination of tank controls, projectiles and summons, and stealth—might interest players looking for a break from the ordinary. Best Non-Horror Game With Horror Elements: Shadow Hearts series Image via Sacnoth The Shadow Hearts series (specifically the first two games) are JRPGs, but set in a world that wouldn't be out of place in a Lovecraftian horror. Many of the locales you have to visit in the first one are classic settings for a horror film or game, and a lot of the monsters in the bestiary read like creatures you'd dream up in a nightmare. Shadow Hearts takes place in 1913, shortly before WW1. It follows Alice, whose father was recently murdered, and Yuri, who is capable of transforming into demons and chooses to protect Alice at the insistence of a voice in his head. Though the game is a sequel to PS game Koudelka, it's understandable even without playing that first. As a JRPG, it also stands out for employing the Judgement Ring mechanic, which combines reflexes with strategy. If you want to fully enjoy a horror-like, I recommend only playing the first game. The second game is my favorite, but it starts leaning more into comedy. Meanwhile, the third game plays like a more traditional JRPG than anything else. Best Text-Based Horror Game: When They Cry Image via Ryukishi07, 07th Expansion Sound novels differ from visual novels in that there's a greater emphasis on dialogue and sound effects. As you can imagine, this atmospheric style of gameplay lends well to the horror genre. Chunsoft's Banshee's Last Cry pioneered the genre, and since then, there have been tons of similar games in the genre. Of them, I have to admit that When They Cry is the easiest to recommend. At this point, most people should be familiar with When They Cry. It follows Keiichi Maebara, who moves to the village of Hinamizawa in the 1980s. Though Hinamizawa seems peaceful on the surface, Keiichi soon learns about the string of murders and disappearances that always takes place on the day of the Watanagashi Festival. There are multiple routes and arcs, focusing on the various characters in Keiichi's friend group, and they all help to uncover the secrets underneath Hinamizawa's surface. While the majority of these horror games are available either as remakes or remasters on modern consoles, titles like Kuon and Shadow Hearts are still stuck on the PS2.

Siliconera Saturday, January 4, 2025 3:00 PM Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Culling Game Arc Will Be the Best Season       Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most popular, best anime series in recent memory. It is certainly the next shonen to take the mantle of best around from the likes of Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia. While Season 2 was exceptional and a large improvement over the first season, the best is yet to come with Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3's adaptation of the Culling Game Arc. The longest story arc of the entire series is almost here. There are a couple of shorter arcs that will need to be taken care of first in Season 3, but the star of the show will be the arrival of the Culling Game Arc. I won't spoil too much here, but there are some light spoilers ahead. As the name implies, this is pretty much a jujutsu sorcerer battle royale. If you liked Dragon Ball Super's Tournament of Power, this is for you. Image via MAPPA It mixes together some of my favorite themes together at once. You get the usual extraordinary action and art this series is known for. In addition, though, you get a healthy dose of death games, which is my favorite category of media in general. That is, of course, if fans can get through the rough parts of the initial few episodes. The highs of Season 2 are going to lead to some new lows at the start of the new season. The couple of shorter arcs following the aftermath of the Shibuya Incident are forgettable at best. This is mainly since they are there to set up the final portion of this beloved series. But if you are able to get past these weaker episodes, Season 3 will likely be the best season yet. Some of the series' best fights ever happen during the Culling Game Arc. Some of the fan-favorite characters go up against each other in shocking ways. I actually appreciate the structure of the arc, too, dividing up the main cast in different locations. This allows the death game to feel better focused than it otherwise would. Sure, this does mean, though, that you will likely go without seeing some characters. This was particularly noticeable in the manga, as it dragged on a bit longer than it should have. This is why the Vs. Mahito Arc is still my personal favorite in the series since it accomplished so much in such a short time. That said, I think the Culling Game Arc will work much better in anime form. The pacing should be much stronger and faster than in the original manga's release. It helps, too, that the consistent weekly release schedule will keep fans interested. Image via Shueisha The one element that might hold back Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is MAPPA. Season 2 had some exceptional animation, but the studio also showed some visual flaws towards the end. I am concerned about the workload for the animators and the stress that is on them. If Season 3 comes out in 2025, which I expect it to, this is a pretty fast turnaround. I am a bit worried if the animation quality will get the attention the Culling Game Arc deserves. That said, if Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 does find a way to balance a healthy work schedule with quality, this will easily be the best season yet. Without spoiling too much, I even think it will be better than the inevitable final arc of the series that comes after. There is so much that happens during this arc that will shake the core of the anime community. Even with the likes of My Hero Academia's final season and the Demon Slayer final movie trilogy ahead in 2025, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 could still stand toe-to-toe with them and be the best season of the series, if done right. Jujutsu Kaisen is streaming currently on Crunchyroll. The post Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 Culling Game Arc Will Be the Best Season appeared first on Siliconera.

Siliconera Saturday, January 4, 2025 11:50 AM Masayoshi Soken, Nobuo Uematsu Worked on Kenny Omega Wrestle Dynasty Song       We knew Kenny Omega would return to the ring as part of the 2025 Wrestle Dynasty match, and now he confirmed his entrance will include a new theme song from Final Fantasy  composers Masayoshi Soken and Nobuo Uematsu. Jason Charles Miller, known for singing FFXIV songs, will be the vocalist for the tracks. The event starts at 8pm PT/11pm ET on January 4, 2025. Kenny Omega offered more details about how the Final Fantasy composers and singer are involved in his new entrance theme song on social media. Soken, who is best known for his work on FFXIV and his work with The Primals on the game, composed the new music. Uematsu is involved for a "special voice," rather than compositional duties. Miller is singing the track. In the past, Miller sang the FFXIV theme songs "Close the Distance," "Shadowbringers," and "To the Edge." Here's the full announcement. https://twitter.com/KennyOmegamanX/status/1875407159124754847 Masayoshi Soken also commented on the theme song announcement, and he referenced a few other names tied to the Final Fantasy series. He mentioned "Takai" in his social media post, which seems like it could be referencing FFXIV Supervisor and FFXVI Director Hiroshi Takai. He mentioned Koji too, and Michael-Christopher Koji Fox worked on FFXIV and FFXVI with Soken as well. Nobuo Uematsu hasn't commented on his work on the Kenny Omega song yet, but JC Miller retweeted Soken's message. Wrestle Dynasty is an event that will involve wrestlers from multiple organizations competing. So in addition to New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), there will also be athletes from All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), STARDOM, and Ring of Honor Wrestling (ROH). Kenny Omega will be fighting Gabe Kidd.  Wrestle Dynasty will be held at the Tokyo Dome in Japan on January 5, 2025, and we can start watching at 8pm PT/11pm ET on January 4, 2025.  The post Masayoshi Soken, Nobuo Uematsu Worked on Kenny Omega Wrestle Dynasty Song appeared first on Siliconera.

Siliconera Saturday, January 4, 2025 9:00 AM I am Cat Is as Silly a VR Physics Game as You'd Expect       Games like Goat Simulatorfill a certain type of niche. A player gets to be an animal, with different objectives and purposes beyond the understanding of a human, and often engage with the world in unexpected ways. This is especially true when a title in these sim genres also offers an open environment to explore and physics-based gameplay that can result in exaggerated reactions to your limited input options. I am Cat is that same sort of VR game, as New Folder Games offers the option of structure, but also an opportunity to do what we want and play around within the simulation. This means your enjoyment can vary based on your tolerance for such things. In I am Cat, you are a cat who lives in Granny's house. Your goal in this VR game is to basically be a cat with human-level intelligence without the guaranteed opposable thumbs and perhaps dexterity. Hijinks ensue. Especially depending on whether you choose to go along with the missions or do your own thing as an agent of chaos in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUnEWydv5jE&ab_channel=NewFolderGames Now, just because you are a cat in I am Cat doesn't mean you need to be a jerk in this VR game. As I've mentioned repeatedly, this is an open-ended sort of experience. Once you get settled, you can follow along with the missions that come up. You could attack Granny, destroy her home, and ruin her day. However, it is also possible (and I feel preferred) to exist alongside her and see everything you are capable of in this experience. Accomplish goals. Get to do new things. Though of course, I often found I had more fun when I wasn't attempting to do exactly what New Folder Games expected, as that made it easier to deal with learning to deal with the controls and feedback from them. The different tasks and objectives feel like they balance between common sense and watching a cat accomplish silly things. If you head to the piano upstairs, there will be notes carved into it as a clue to play a song. Getting a certain score in the whack-a-mole cat toy completes a task. But then, you might also find yourself working out how to have a cat cook as you play or carry a vase while scaling a wall. Since my issues involved I am Cat sometimes not registering properly when I was performing certain grabbing motions, it made those types of tasks involving moving, breaking, or grabbing items quite difficult at times. Sometimes even actually running and jumping forward could be difficult, which means Granny would catch me get in the way of my current progress, and force me to recenter myself. I'm also disappointed at the degree of unlocking in I am Cat. There are some spots gated beyond accomplishments. So you'll always be able to see the street and outdoor area while in Granny's house, but you need to actually unlock access to that area. (There is an "unlock" DLC you can buy for $19.99 that immediately lets you into those places and gives you extra costumes and weapons like a taser.) I also had a bug that caused the garage key to not spawn where expected, forcing me to exit, perform a hard reset, and then fortunately be able to go back and find it where it was supposed to be in a safe. Images via New Folder Games The one thing I will note is that I am Cat is one of the VR games that left me quite motion sick. I couldn't play for more than 15-20 minutes before feeling queasy or developing a headache. There can be a lot of running, climbing, and jumping involved, depending on if the player is performing evasive maneuvers or just trying to scramble to the top of a wall or platform. Again, the actions you're performing and pace at which you're playing could affect how you feel, and it could just be I ended up being especially sensitive to it. Basically, I feel like you need to go into I am Cat expecting it to be a silly VR experience due to the way all physics-based games work. Will you be able to accomplish your goals? Maybe, if you figure out the controls and move just right. Will you find yourself in funky and potentially funny situations due to the reactions between objects, elements, and your avatar? Definitely. As such, I almost wish there was a demo to help people figure things out. But if you're willing to take the risk and understand things might not go to plan, it could be a fun way to spend a a few days or weeks. I am Cat is available on the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro, and PC VR headsets.  The post I am Cat Is as Silly a VR Physics Game as You'd Expect appeared first on Siliconera.
