I'm ready for a survival horror return to form! Maybe Mikami can do it.

This just makes me wonder what Swery would do if he was in Mikami's position, having all the resources a company like Bethesda can provide. I'm sure we would not be left indifferent.

I love Shinji Mikami's games, more than I could probably relate in this comment, but this trailer feels really dumb. Without gameplay it's hard for me to get excited for it as a game. Based on his previous work, I have no doubt it will be great but this trailer looks like a low-budget horror torture movie. I understand it's being used more to convey the tone and what their goals are in terms of style, horror, etc. but I'm never much for live-action trailers for a game.

Not really feelin the tone of this trailer. Too much gore, which is my least favorite aspect of horror.

I look at this, remember the FMV intro to Resident Evil and realize I'm just going to wait for the quick look.

So he replaced Pyramid Head's pyramid with a safe and give him a big hammer. Brilliant!

I want to see the actual game though, live action trailers are silly.

No, no, no!. Safe Head is Superhead's far more responsible and less promiscuous sister

It just looked like a smaller version of monster from RE5... with a safe on its head

I really like what they've done with this. Its got a very undeground 70s horror movie sorta look to it, spliced with some Clive Bark-ian and a bit of Lovecraft-ian for good measure. Kinda goofy in parts, but if this trailer's tone will be in anyway indicative of the full game, then it's clear that Mikami's at least trying to create a genuinely unnerving horror game.

Looks creepy as hell. I'm not great at enduring Horror games, unless they give you plenty of ways to savagely brutalise the enemies (a la Dead Space), instead of having to run away from monsters (e.g., Amnesia), but it's hard to tell from this unrevealing, albeit awesome-looking, trailer.

It's maybe not the greatest trailer, but the promise of a new survival horror game from Mikami gives you hope for an otherwise dying genre.

Step 4: Cut a hole in the box.

Step 5: Put your dick in the box.

Maybe Mikami feels the world is now ready for his live-action cutscenes, RE1-style.
