What Can Be Done To Save Survival Horror

kojimano1fan · 2015-04-05 07:29:42

So last time I talked about the future of survival horrror and it turned out to be a pretty good opinion based back and fourth. But this time I want to go over how this genre can be saved. In my opinion, the stuff that made survival horror can be brought down to five things, atmosphere, helplessness, puzzles, normal people not super soldiers (with the exception of S.T.A.R.S) and quite a minimal ammount of action. Instead of opening a door and shooting ten zombies why not give the feeling that something's behind it and when we open it have nothing there, similar to what Silent Hill 2 was renowned for.The new formula for the most recent Survival Horror games has mainly been exposed to action adventure when it's not supposed to be like that at all. Much like how Resident Evil has gone from survival to run and gun. Another thing that survival horror games was once known for was abnormal story. To put it simpler we want totally messed up and out there.But that's my opinion I wanna hear your opinion and hopefully devolopers will listen. And as i've said before, no hate please, Thanks for reading.

I almost branded that game as poorly designed...... until yesterday I found the laser targeting....... now its okay. :)

Edit: Mercenaries Mode is leaps and bounds way better than Raid Mode.

yea the cross hairs are bad but i got used to it.

@Flubbbs:

What bugs me is I played through the entire game with them god awful crosshairs... Now I'm wondering how different my initial experience would gave been if I found the laser targeting before I started. :(

Also I'm having trouble finding all the weapons..... namely because I don't know exactly how many weapons there are suppose to be.
