Looks like the next Silent Hill movie.

 

[FoggyFishburne]

Damn! I was so sure it was Dishonored 2

Guess wishful thinking doesn't equal facts ^^

I cant stop thinking if he actually ruined Resident Evil with 4 on purpose already thinking of starting a whole new horror franchise somewhere else than capcom.

"Perfect blend of horror and action", hope that its actually morror horror than action this time.

"Perfect blend of horror and action"

They actually think that such blend can be perfect?

Well i guess it would depend on how its balanced. But in most cases there is no "horror" in a action game. The entire "fear" factor will disapear the moment you have a way to defend yourself against whatever it is that is hunting you.
I would say that the best horror games are the ones that almost never show you what is hunting you... The "unknown" the feeling of being helpless in a confusing / dark place. A moments hesitation can lead to your death.

Going in "guns blazing" is not something i get afraid of.

Then you should look forward to new Amnesia game . If you haven't already then play Amnesia : The Dark Decent .

There are two ways of making horror games. It's either amnesia way, i.e. don't give player any weapon, scare player with atmosphere, build up tension, that type has nothing to do with action. Or silent hill way i.e. throw at player maximum creepy shit, make action elements really clunky and unintuitive to enhance horror elements. Actual action-horror games (with modern shooting mechanics that actually works) doesn't work as horror games. That's why alan wake is not very good horror game, they made action fun and arcady, after defeating horde of monsters you felt good, not scared.

The trailer looks wicked. But i'm more interested to see the quality of real gameplay.

this thread should be merged with the other one

Love it! If it similar to SH in spirit, I am a big fan already.
Alan wake is a survival horror game, only horror in it not of irrational, weird-n-creepy--sounds-n-shadows kind, but of very real kind. Knowing that I had only a fistful of bullets left, with a single flash grenade and a single battery, I was real scared to leave a safety of a check-point light, and to run through the forest full of bad things again. On Hard difficulty there are enough of scary moments of this kind, plus some irrational fear from just the surroundings.

Looks positively retarded. Still waiting for Fallout 4.

 

[goopit]

Never saw the appeal of the horror genre personally.

Amnesia is worth a try. These other games just don't get it. Amnesia does.

No.

Silent Hill is not a game (series of games), it is a state of mind. Either you have it, or not.

Alan Wake is more conventional, but it is well-written, in TV Show format (6 episodes + 2 extras), with nice game mechanics, great characters, nice lore it based upon (Russian Baba Yaga tales, and a general pagan vibe), nice scenery and locations (Oregon is a beautiful place), and enough tension to keep focused and engaged.

I've never really got into RE games, but SH and AW are my all-time favs in survival horror genre.

Hoped for something closer to original Resident Evils, but it seems that it's just Silent Hill with a lot of action. I hoped that Mikami learned something after failed 'Shadows of the Damned'. I will pass.
