I agree with most, but not all, of the Ideas you suggested. First off, I liked the funny effects. Sure they werent scary, but they werent suppoused to be scary...

Second, I have no Idea what your talking about with "playstation" graphics. Go play a survival horror game on the PSX then play ED. The graphics, IMO, were great in ED.

They need to make some of the insanity effects more prominent...I found myself getting the same damn effect multiple times, while Ive heard about other that I never got even after playing through the game several times. Here's one I got that I dont think hardly anybody else got: Im not sure what part of the game it happens at, but it was in that room with the piano. You walk in, and hear a creaking sound. You look up and there's a dead guy hanging from a rope right above the piano. Screen flashes, dead guy is gone. It was, I thought, the best insanity effect in the game.

I loved ED. One of my all time favourite games.

I saw the volume go down and I look @ my bro and we both look at the remote and it's like on top of the tv. Freaky

Well it doesn't really control your tv volume, but it says "volume"
and the meter goes down and gets lower and lower.

Freaked me out big time

Ya that was the only good sanity effect we got polayin through the game... for like a day... 3 of us sitting in a room.. and were fighting then all of a sudden bars on the tv come up with volume being turned down and we all looked at ech other for like 3 seconds and saw the remote on the ground and were like.. oooh.. that was a pretty good effect..

Yeah, I saw that on my second time through.

I still can't see why people think it's uninspired or boring. I thought it was a blast to play. The insanity effects were the best part.

I get the guy hanging above the piano everytime I play... Hmm... I thought it was a necessart insanity effect..
