    As we all know, Shinji Mikami is currently working on something at PlatinumGames. What we don't know is what. So I'm asking you, GiantBomb forum dwellers, what kind of game would you like to see from Mikami? 
     
    Me, I'd like to see a horror game. After Silent Hill: Homecoming(which I haven't played myself, but after seeing how poorly received it was, I don't really want to) and the abomination that was Resident Evil 5, Dead Space is pretty much the only proper horror series left. But as fantastic as Dead Space is, it's not enough. The genre needs something else, something more. It needs Mikami.
     
    That's just me though. What would you guys like to see?

    Dead Space isn't "proper horror" imo. It's just jump scares.
     
    I say this as someone who hates horror elitists, though.
     
    Anyway, I'd like anything that's just plain fun. If it's as good an action game as RE4, that'd be great.

    Perhaps, but right now, it's all the genre has.

    There's a few disgruntled fans of RE that want games to be like before RE4 with the over-the-shoulder view. Personally I preferred if they kept it like RE 4 and 5 but it'll be interesting to see what it'll be like if he went with the classic style of Resident Evil again.

    dead space imo isn't very scary, but more of unsettling. it's intense

    Yeah. Immersion and tension are the key words. The game never actually scares you.
