What are your thoughts on the future of horror? Over the past five years I've seen some good games come out in the genre, with my favorites being the well-known Outlast and the indie developed The Cat Lady. The horror genre in general has picked back up over the past decade, so it seems like a good prediction to say that many more horror games are coming along the way. However, the one question I have is will they be any good? IMO, a horror game needs a good plot to be any good. It can't just be scare after scare after scare. That gets boring fast. It also needs to be mechanically sound and aesthetically pleasing.
What do you guys think? Is the horror genre's future looking bright? What do you guys think needs to be in a horror game for it to be good?
