Thousands of players were able to play the game themselves and give the much-needed direct feedback afterwards. “Two key points emerged from that. The first one was: it absolutely felt and played like a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 below the expected standards for the final experience the fans are waiting for....

This spec ops haunted house shooter got me thinking about unexpected scares in Call Of Duty

It’s also got me thinking about unexpectedly scary moments in shooters, too. Think a wispy strand of RGB flapping about in the sky. A gaping chasm of red crystals. An attic that’s fleshy all of a sudden.
