Just curious. It's been popular in conversation lately since Evil Within came out. I bought it. I wasn't disappointed, but I don't usually play these types, so I don't feel I can judge. I have noticed though, that before EW, there was an overload of crappy SH and RE spinoffs.
Whatdya think? The genre has been milked too much? Or still hope for us to get the s*** scared out of our britches?

Edited by BADMAGIK: 10/31/2014 2:04:54 PMThe genre is dying or is dead because of the moronic gamers now a days. They're all idiots. Survival Horror was always hard as hell to play because of very, very limited weapons and some of the hardest puzzles ever. Now a days, if the game doesn't have flashing lights and laser beams shooting across the screen every two seconds, a constant rank up, shiny pointless medals that say to the player "you're the greatest gamer on the planet," then people won't play it. Gamers today want easy. They claim they don't, but it's true. If it's too hard, then they don't play because they're attention span is that of a rock. p.s. Look at Alien Isolation. This game was tore apart on IGN because they felt the alien was too unpredictable. This is a -blam!-ing joke as back in the day, gamers of the Survival Horror genre would be salivating for stuff like this. Again, gamers today are -blam!-ing idiots.

The new Alien Isolation was good, too, so I wouldn't say that the genre is dead.
-
Outlast was pretty good.

Don't like horror

Just finished evil within. It was a good game. The genre will always be there & good & bad games will always come out( as with every genre)
-
So I found a decent clip of the PT demo. Dunno of it does it any justice But we can hope this means good things to come

Everyone wants to see some kind of pattern of behavior for the thing they're running from. People apparently dislike Alien: Isolation because they can't predict the alien, and TBH that's kind of a joke. Unpredictable AI are what make some games great

I wouldn't say that the genre is dying, but it has definitely lost a bit of its popularity it seems.

It was good just the protagonist wasn't written very well. The aspect ration was a terrible design choice for the game.
