Two New Horror Games Released This Week
A lot has happened this week. Of the great many things that E3 has shown us, no one could have predicted how spectacular the last few days would be for fans of the horror genre. An impressive line-up of games has made this one of the spookiest years in the expo’s history — a welcome departure from previous years, which are often remembered for introducing one or two high profile titles, usually sequels. In addition to offering us a glimpse at the frightening(ly awesome) future we have to look forward to, this week also brought some new stuff for us to play while we wait for the other stuff we just learned about.
PC gamers can have a stab at Behaviour Digital’s asymmetrical multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight that pits a team of four survivors against one of three playable killers inspired by common scary movie archetypes. There’s a chainsaw-wielding hillbilly, an outdoorsy psychopath, and the supernaturally gifted murder ghost.
The survivors and their would-be assassins each come equipped with their own unique abilities that, when combined with the game’s handful of other randomized elements (items, objectives), makes the action in Dead by Daylight both unpredictable and replayable.
The other new-ish release belongs to the atmospheric survival horror game Siren, which made its way to the PS4 this week, just twelve years after it first released on the PS2. Like the other PS2 games that Sony has been working to bring to the PS4, Siren benefits from 1080p up-rendering, and added support for trophies, Shareplay, Second Screen and Remote Play.
PS Plus subscribers may also want to check out the free demo for Resident Evil 7.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
