|  "Scary How?"
, posted Sat 17 Mar 20:24:  
Some games are honestly scary (or jumpy). They don't simply lower the gamma to try to spook you. I hope that doom3 doesn't just lower the gamma so you can' see a wall twenty feet away; it's just extremely irritating.
Any speaking of dark.. how about a little eye adjustment. Go into a dark place from a light place, make it take a while for the eyes to adjust. IF you see a flash of light, eyes have to adjust again. Umkay?

Well, a dynamic gamma correcter for the pupil readjust would be extremely irritating, it would look like if your monitor suffered from irregular voltage supply.
DooM3 will probably be a combination of shadows and shock effect to archieve fear. Shadows will be pitch black, thatīs for sure not because of the designerīs idea, but because of the engine workings itself...

AvP was the only game I've ever played that was annoyingly dark. Luckily they gave you nightvision and heat detection which made up for it 100%. The only thing that sucked about that is that you could never see the enemies in great detail.

Good idea. It could be irritating sometimes however. Imagine yourself coming from a dark underground place and then walking to a place outside and not knowing if there are any enemies in sight because of your poor vision. Realistic, but irritating...
