"So, where does Survival Horror go from here? Given the obvious commercial appeal of games like Call of Duty, it wouldn’t make business sense for developers to go back to the niche trappings of old, not when they can fill their pockets with the action-oriented approach titles are going lately. However, there’s still room for an authentic survival horror experience."
The remake teased an expanded universe, but now a sequel has no chance of delivering on it.
Honestly i believe it was mainly as retaliation for the original devs breaking off and making colisto protocol. They've done this a few times, ignoring fan demands for the return of a belived ip until someone does it for them, then they retaliate by only then announcing an entry. Colisto protocol was announced and EA announced the remake shortly after, Session finally hit consoles and skate 4 was announced, shortly after Undisputed was shown off, talks started happening about a new fight night.
It was a solid game and we'll have to move on and accept it for what it is. Just because we're not getting a sequel (original or remake) doesn't mean there's no point anymore in what is a great, tense, well-paced single player experience. No one's taking Dead Space Remake away.
I just hope that the game isn't so technically stitched together on PC that driver updates render the game unplayable like what happened with me and my RTX 4070 last year, requiring a driver downgrade just months after the game came out. If you're a console player then you've got no worries.
Most likely for EA to cash in on the remake craze that followed Capcom when they started remaking RE games. I am glad EA did it I enjoy the game. DS is one of my favorite franchises love the sci fi horror shit. What I don't like is EA not remaking DS2. So DS1 remake did not do well with the numbers so what. DS2 has a solid fanbase and is probably the best entry in the franchise depending on the fan. DS2 remake would have been a day one for me but I got a reminder on why I hate EA. Scrap the DS2 remake for a shitty Iron Man game.
It's because the gaming community want remakes and remasters over new games.
I think that is for the best of the franchise o be left alone then to be turned into a game as a service or something like that, EA has the awful habit of trying to monetize everything.
A breakdown of the best Silent Hill Characters that inspired and frightened gamers.
Isaac Clarke of Dead Space fame has appeared in many games, both as a playable character and an Easter Egg. Have you played them all?
Publishers/Investment groups are the ones who gave up on the horror genre
I hate how devs are trying to copy action games like CoD and Uncharted with action-filled setpieces when they seem to forget what made the survival-HORROR franchise great in the first place,horror.
From the looks of current trends in the industry, most devs have only given up on the horror aspect of their titles. Though they have cranked up on the intensity of the survival aspect. It is a shame that some of the franchises that put survival horror on the map to begin with have sold out to modern times. Taking an easier action adventure movie like approach for accessible games to please the mainstream consumer.
Luckily we still have games like Nintendo Wii U entertainment system exclusive ZombiU, and the likes of the Dead Island franchise. Two games that keep the horror aspect mixed in with the survival factor. I wish other devs in the future look at those two offerings as an example for how to do things correctly.
Rated E For Everyone
I think survival horror could thrive in the digital market. Make a 5-10 hour survival horror game and put it on PSN, XBLA, Steam, etc. Make it like $15-$20 and people will eat it up, including me.
remember back in the days when they used to make good quality horror games. It was a way for developers to show off the graphics. Silent Hill still blows my mind up till this date. you really can't go low budget on this despite the risk factors.
