Six Crazy Frights: Ep. 404 - Cry of Fear

Vinny and Patrick playing this years ago was one of my favorite GB moments. This rules Abby!

Man I love this series and I'm so sad Abby is leaving so we won't get gems like this anymore. This season has been a lot of fun with Abby and Vinny playing co-op games, both terrifying and hilarious

I thought Six Crazy Frights almost miss a week

This is the most excited I've been about an "upcoming" GB video maybe ever. The Vinny/Patrick QL is an all time classic, and I was hoping they'd come back to this as soon as they started doing Co-op.

I love this series. Great work as always.

This series continues to be the best, gonna miss you so much Abby!!! Thanks for all of the laughs and the crazy frights!

Oh god, Cry of Fear, what a blast of the past.

JUST TWINS DOIN TWINS THINGS

Fear Not Found.

Is this Source engine?

LOL, I don't know if it was accidental, but they recreated the exact moment when Patrick and Vinny discovered the "basketball court".

It's the Half-Life ONE engine, and started out as a mod for that game

@steelknight2000: it was originally a Half Life mod.

Is it me or does this game straight up have RE4 sound effects?

There is no difference between a magazine and a clip

@bathala: I believe it was originally uploaded to go live on Saturday but there must have been an issue (again).

Is she leaving GB or something? Or do you mean 2020's 6CF is almost over?

The Quick Look for this was always one of my favorite GB videos.

Help

Help me

Help

Can't wait to watch, this game has a track record of being comedy gold

As a person named Simon this video was kind of awkward 😅

Best series on Giant Bomb right now!

@lordloc: ...

@lordloc: She announced on a recent Beastcast and on her twitter that she has chosen to leave Giant Bomb, her last day will be Nov 30th I believe.

It's not really on the GB front page, but it's covered here:

and here:

https://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion-30/abby-is-leaving-giant-bomb-at-the-end-of-november-1888226/

both of which link to Abby's tweet about when she will be leaving. Also Abby mentioned it on the most recent Beastcast (episode 282).

Aw man, that sucks. Yeah, haven't watched the most recent Beastcast, nor have I checked the forums in a bit. I guess it's about that time though, 4 years is a long time to work as a video producer/content creator for a major gaming site like this.

The Morphine Brothers, just shootin' up all over the shop

Help!
Help me!
Help!
I need some help over here!
Help me!

Help!

Should've had Bakalar on in honor of the episode numbering.

Something about the texture of those bushes is seriously bothering me.

Love that classic horror game character, Edward Scissorbed.

This years Six Crazy Frights brought to you by Spookin With Scoops!

Should've had a Patrick cameo. Missed opportunity if you ask me.

I can't believe that they simply reuploaded this old video and tried to pass it off as new. I went back and watched, it's identical. You can't fool me.

Edit: the spooky ambience is 10000% the RE4 spooky village ambience

the scariest thing is abby's impending departure

Something tells me they won't be doing a 4-person revisit of this one...

The name of the game didn't immediately mean anything. And even Vinny talking about it didn't do it. But as soon as that neighbourhood loaded... Flashback! Brought me right back. Spookin with Scoops! Good times. Even remember the "help! Help me!"

"Don't worry, Windows is trying to find a solution."

One of the best Quick Looks the site has ever done. So glad they're revisiting this game for Six Crazy Frights.

my roommate and i still frequently say 'help! help over here! help me' to each other. super excited about this vid!!

Really wish Abby would've done this one solo. The game is way more intense in single player and the more scared she is, the more entertaining it is.

That's not a basketball court. That's a innebandy / floorball court. A fairly big sport in Sweden.

@endsofinvention: BED-WARD SCISSORHANDS!!! It was right there!!

Counterpoint: You can't yell for help in solo mode

Looks like abby got rid of that big ass titan gaming chair

also my name is Simon so watching this was extremely amusing

I'm going to miss Abby + VInny streams when she leaves GB.

@lyndbako: Ah! Thank you it looked like very early CS.

Huh surprising that the graphics of this felt old enough to them that they mentioned it. To me, a bunch of these Six Crazy Freights games feel like they're about equivalent to AAA graphics in 2000-2003. Like a top notch production like half life 2 (2004) looks a cut above the graphics in Cry of Fear, Slenderman, Phasmophobia or Pacify. Lighting and certain texture quality(bathroom tiles) tend to be of a decent quality, but character models and animation leave a lot to be desired. Still pretty impressive for small teams on a shoestring budget perhaps.

The gameplay loop reminds me of Devil Daggers
