HUD changing and noise. Not sure which of most closely fits it. iirc Skyrim was one of the ones to do something like that.

I like the character art to indicate it. Like FF games have the character kneeling. Showing the character bleeding, injured or breathing hard or something is better. Stuff that constantly flashes, slows you down or makes sounds is just annoying.

Alive, then dead (Ghost Recon) sounds about right or dying as soon as you get behind cover, despite taking a whole lot of shots at 0 health on the way to cover --- "Dogs smell like they've had too much fun and need a bath Cats smell like espionage" - Mead ... Copied to Clipboard!

if it suits the game, pause it, with the particular character stating "omg, I'm dying".
otherwise turning the screen red and muffling the sounds seems like one of the best ways, being both atmospheric and informative --- The truth basks in scrutiny. http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

Voted for flashing health meter
I prefer very minimal indication, if at all. Such as a bloody-face avatar (Quake) or a red health meter/health percent. --- A plethora of DKC-related fanart to numb your mind: http://kjsteroids.deviantart.com ... Copied to Clipboard!

Blood splats or some color change that doesn't interfere with the music or audio.
Obnoxious is actually the perfect term to describe it. But not for the intended reason. In the etymological sense of visible. I question how easy games are where people feel some ui change isn't necessary to note when the player is almost dead. In challenging content you can't afford to be watching your health bar the entire time. --- The Retro Hippo of the Retro Achievements http://retroachievements.org/User/HippopotamusRex ...

adjl posted...Whatever would best describe Starfox 64. That game indicated danger perfectly. It's a little more than that, though. There's the increasingly frantic single alarms, there's the smoke coming out of the ship, there's the rumble, there's the impairment to flying if you've lost a wing... Taking heavy damage in that game was an immersive, visceral experience, which was amazing. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ...

I love the faded colors thing. Seen a few games do it, really drives home you're getting low.

Just a health bar or HP numbers will do. Alarm ones like KH are just a headache and absolutely loathe the color change ones like Tomb Raider.
