State of Decay doesn't even look scary.

Might check it out if not playing day z standalone.

I want outlast. A game made by ex ubi and naughty dog devs.

The single player games are the scary ones.

Most of these games are for PC, in other words, none will sell well if it isn't on a console. The only games on PC that have sold well in the last 8 years are WoW, Starcraft, Elder Scrolls games, Diablo 3, and Sims games. Everything else gets torrented beyond belief, to the point where they can't sell more than a few hundred thousand copies - and they're well established franchises.

Horror stuff isn't exactly the play it safe stuff put out by publishers. Since people have no idea if they'll like the game, and they can't rent it, they torrent it. It's sad, as these games deserve to be a commercial success such that more can get made, perhaps on more platforms so more people can enjoy them.

@knowyourstuff

While I admit that most pirating does happen on the pc it does happen for the consoles as well. Obviously the process to pirate on a console is harder than a pc but it still happens.

As for the fact that people torrent the games to see if they like it, if they are respectable and are merely getting the torrent to demo the game then they will do as pirating should do and if they like it buy the game and if they don't just uninstall it.

@knowyourstuff - Your name is painfully ironic, you're so wrong about everything that you just wrote that I have physical pain in my balls from it.

outlast looks scary as hell

especially the part where he was running on the hallway and when he looked back the thing was running behind him as well

amnesia looks awesome as well
the rest not so much

these are real survival horror games
no guns, just a flashlight, you running and hiding away from the monsters. and ones again no guns, it gives the real feel of having to survive than shooting everything that moves around you

The Glorious PC Gaming Master Race!
@ knowyourstuff: had the NERVE to say: "Most of these games are for PC, in other words, none will sell well if it isn't on a console".

Yes most of these games are on the PC cause that's the platform that has continued to have greats sales figures for Indie Devs wanting to make TRUE survival Horror games while most console Survival Horror games get transformed into a call of Duty clone!

insert Resident Evil and Dead Space here for great examples!

You need to realize that the PC has a very different business model than the console and although selling 2 or 3 million units is nice...a dev can make a great profit just from selling 700K units.

No plastic boxes, No shipping Games, No advertisement, No Sony/MS tax, sometimes NO publisher, sale the game forever on steam, etc..

Also most of these PC survival Horror titles are on their sequel or is the second or third survival game from the Dev so therefore they are making money on the PC.

Hopefully ALL of these titles make it to Next Gen consoles as everyone should be able to enjoy TRUE Survival Horror games such as Amnesia and Slenderman and not call of duty clones that use to be scary!!!

I saw Dead Space 3 on the list before I didn't read the article. Not survival horror.

Developers have even specifically said it's "action horror" which translates to action coop game. No thank you.

Yeah.

"HOLD ON ISSACC THERE'S A SPARK IN YOUR HAIR."

"Ohhhhh noooooo. GET IT GET IT!"

yea I know, but there are some good games from less known devs and games do look good, cant wait

I'm so tired of hearing about Dead Space. The series is ass at best.

Maybe to you
But I like the series
So next time ill chech with you if it's ok I like a certin game

I'm so tired of hearing people state an opinion as though it was fact.

I'm so tired of internet nobody's thinking their opinion matters.

Hey Bloodraid can you please let me like "the last of us" pleaseeeeee

Go for it, no one is stopping you. But I'm flattered that you ask for my permission beforehand.

And for the record, my point with that comment was that Dead Space is not survival horror, and it's tiring to see people presenting it as such.

Just because a game is mildly scary, or full of cheap jump scares, doesn't make it survival horror.

You see, there's more to the Survival Horror genre than it being scary, just like there's more to the RPG genre than playing as a specific character.

Of course, I can't expect people on N4G to understand more than how to enter their login.

dear bloodrain,
when I was 8 years old an envious person fed my husky ground beef mixed with crushed glass, while our family was out for vacation he died of severe constipation... human nature is a scary thing and dead space is not.

-Dead Space 3
-Survival Horror

Pick one.

Next dead space is a sci fi third person shooter. Nothing else.

according to this its pc exclusive

I agree that the original Slenderman is overrated. But the new one defo looks promising :)

Yeah I was surprised at how scary ZombiU was in few parts. Plus it does actually make it scarier that you have to keep looking at the second screen. I'm just disappointed I can't play the game using headphones/surround sound because the console doesn't have an optical port :(

As for 2013, I can't wait for Amnesia, the first one was incredible and so was the Penumbra series.

I just use the optical at back of my tv and through my amp, its not as good as the sound through my ps3 but it still works. Have you tried the headphone socket on top of the controller? Anyway's im loving the atmosphere in Zombi u and am well happy with my purchase, an excellent example of survival horror. Thats my opinion anyway : )

Well I have an old TV. It's full HD but doesn't have an optical port, only HDMI. And the headphones I have (tritton pro+) use optical ports too. I can't understand why Nintendo wouldn't put an optical port on it. Still not as bad as not having an ethernet port though. Having to rely on WiFi for a 5GB update is not fun!

I havent really had any problems with updating over my wifi and Im using century link. But as for the sound thing I just use stock so I havent noticed that limitation yet, it sounds like it sucks though. And idk why Nintendo is always overlooked in practically every catagory. To mention survival horror as if its dead when a title just released, is a new ip, and is selling quite well with a well executed gameplay design seems like a slap in the face. I mean if you go into the title expecting Left 4 Dead type action or Call Of Duty, your setting yourself up for disappointment. If you keep an open mind and go in with other survival horros in mind, not action titles, ZombiU stands amongst some of the best and I for one am I looking forward to a sequel.

Your comment was funny as hell!!!.....describing Slenderman was on point!!

Typical casual gamer who cries for no reason.I have played Dead Space and it was scary and entertaining as well.I have played almost anything in the survival horror genre and I can safely say Dead Space is one of the best.

Did I ever say it was a bad game? Did I even hint at some gameplay flaw or inconsistency? My observation was tied to the somewhat lackluster use of "trait" survival horror elements (such as scarce ammo, overwhelming odds, etc) which didn't characterize Dead Space as a game. It is a great shooter with a horror theme and some set-pieces but it can never be classified as true survival horror. And since you point me as a "casual" type of gamer, I suggest playing some Silent Hill 2 / Resident Evil 1-3 (Amnesia included) and then we can talk about true hard core, survival horror.

Dead Space was advertised as an action horror game not a survival horror one.I have finished more than once all the games that you mentioned below.Of course it would be considered blasphemy to compare it to Silent Hill 1 or 2.

I have, ever since i noticed Amnesia, Paranormal, Slender, and the list goes on.

Actually, Alone in the Dark was the specifically the reason when writing the article I made sure to never say that Resident Evil created the genre. I tried to say just that it popularized the genre and the term survival horror came from its loading screen. Meaning, the industry adopted the new genre because of Resident Evil. But you are right that it really started with Alone in the Dark and maybe Realms of Haunting.

I can't stop thinking about the floppy disks in that trailer. These people have built massive spaceships it seems and appear very advanced. Yet they still use floppy disks as storage mediums. Lol! I can't get over that.
