Survival Horror at its finest
Edited By The_Icon
With awesome games like Dead Space and Left 4 Dead released and soon to be followed Resident Evil 5. There is no doubt these are good times for survival horror fans! Also if you not into it, any of the games can just change that. I love Dead Space because of it's atmosphere and also cutting limbs is loads of fun! I love Left 4 Dead because of the adrenaline of surviving with ur buddies with limited ammo.

"Oh, sorry. I thought I was talking to someone with intelligence."Yeah, a little harsh, but you're completely right. These games are action horror games...it doesnt mean they arent good games though - which the TC seems to be implying.
there is no more survival horror . I miss that genre , games like Dead Space are Horror - action games . Resident evil 5 is merely an action game that totally lacks fear . though RE5 is certainly one of the best 2009 games .
"Pikapichu said:also Siren"So what's it take for a game to be considered survival horror as opposed to action-horror?"Silent Hill. Bam."
"there is no more survival horror . I miss that genre , games like Dead Space are Horror - action games .

I'm sure it still have it's share of "jump" moments.
Demilch is right though - the mentioned games aren't survival horror. The original Alone In The Dark, Resident Evil's and Silent Hill's are survival horror.
"I dont know, in GameSpot, IGN they listed these games as survival horror."that is becasue the developers claim to create Horror -survival games while in real they merely create Action - Horror games . as you may or may not know developing Horror-survival games is a herculean task , since Horror- survival games are not only about an absorbing environment full of dread and uncertainty filled with mind blowing sound tracks , but also a meaningful story .
recent Silent hill : Homecoming is so far the only game in this generation that is somehow a horror survival game (though it is far from perfect ) . also another upcoming Horror-survival game is Alan wake . that game as you know has been under development since like forever . it is all becasue of the amount of detail that is necessary for a horror-survival game .

Survival horror games are my specialty, but I couldn't have said it better than this. I would like to point out that even Silent Hill has moved closer to the action horror side of the equation since the early days.
