Pick one.

I think Zombi U just could bring back the horror in the survival horror and have a few unique new touches.

TLoU looks nice but seems more like a glorified Uncharted with zombies to me.

And War Z is a pretty shameless Day Z rip-off (might be fun tho).

DayZ is an amazing concept and the standalone version seems to be solving most of the issues the mod had,but tbh,the big,actual horror game to release next year comes from the masters of the genre,Frictional Games,and that´s Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs.

The upcoming Amnesia game will of course be fantastic...nothing beats those games atmosphere wise in the SH genre, nothing

Zombi U though looks amazing as well IMO...it looks like it actually has some nice tension in the gameplay and you always have to watch your back at all times because it's one bite and your dead...it actually makes the simpliest generic zombie a real threat again

DayZ is not survival horror, it's just survival.

I'm not by any means agreeing with what he said, but let's be real. It's not even out yet. We've seen literally nothing to indicate otherwise. Though personally speaking, I'm not expecting in the least a survival horror feeling.

The genre was said to be survival action-adventure. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-12-13-the-last-of-us-preview There'll be a tiny bit of horror elements depending on how people look at horror (if they actually think the infected are scary). My personally, any game that I can melee the hell out of enemy are not survival horror, or even horror.

None of the poll options, as far as I've seen. Amnesia: AMFP will probably be scary.

[QUOTE="TheGuardian03"]I thought Siren Blood Curse already did? Anyway i say TLOU or the amenesia sequel.

This. I think TLOU is going to be what RE should be doing and Amnesia is just going to be awesome. And yes Siren was a legit survival horror.

Cinematic horror, more like. I'm still excited about this game, but I bet it works like Uncharted as far as save points go. ZombieU is looking to be the most original fps in quite some time.

^this. Also survival horror hasn't gone anywhere. It was always here. It is just certain IPs have left survival Horror like the RE series, but survival horror hasn't gone anywhere.

Amnesia already did that, but if we are only talking about the games in your list then only two of those listed is actually built around survival DayZ and its cash in attempt WarZ.

Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs has serious potential to be the scariest game in existance.

It isn't a poll option, yet almost everyone in this thread named this game :P

The Last of Us certainly has the survival element, the horror element is better than most games because it's more realistic, it's scary sneaking around real life people, not dumb zombie men (TLOU doesn't even have zombies).

Its more MMO, you can have multiple people on a server, but its up to you whether you work together or simply murder the person for their gear ... or both. I saw a great review by a guy who'd met some guy (neither had mics) and they'd teamed up and worked together for hours and reached a place of safety ... and then he killed the guy. He said he felt really bad about it but the guy had stuff that he really wanted. Sounds horrifically like a "real" situation.

Never played dayz so I dont know. I just figured if you wanted a more pure survival horror experience co-op isnt the way to go. No need to get mad, were all fiends here.

If you followed, they are trying to incorporate the same expierence in the first 2 for co-op.

My bet is The Last Of Us. If anyone has played that one chapter in Uncharted 1, it was kind of creepy, I've always wondered what kind of game Naughty Dog could pull off in the survival horror genre.

pretty obivous it's gonna be Zombie U. people may not like nintendo, but you alot of the "hardcore gamers" are getting a Wii U for this game alone.

the idea behind this game is awesome, one hit will kill you, real time survival, once you're dead, you're character is turned into a zombie. what! awesome!

The chapter where the crazy creatures attack you in the dark? yeah that was creepy.

Yea that part where you have to get the generators working I think. I did not expect that chapter with those zombies to be so creepy.

ZombiU looks very interesting, hopefully it does the survival horror well.

Amnesia 2 will probably be the game that scares the **** out of people the most.

The Last of Us.

Cheleman

Alan Wake 2.

SecretPolice

I'm very much looking forward to those games but those aren't survival horror in any way.

And what a shame Alan Wake 2 hasn't even been announced :(
