Survival Horror Revival - The Return of the Survival Horror Genre

Since its formal introduction to the gaming world with the release of the 1996 classic, Resident Evil, the survival horror genre has transformed drastically. For better or for worse, modern horror games are rarely more than third person shooters with paper-thin horror trappings, peppered with jump scares in a cheap attempt to frighten the player. However, all is not lost. We have compiled a small list of recent games that put the horror back in survival horror.

dinn't Alone in the dark create survivor-horror genre ?

Neonridr4124d ago

Absolutely. It released in 1992 and was most definitely credited as the very first 3D survival horror game. Resident Evil didn't come around until 1996 - 4 years later. By that time we were already up to Alone in the Dark 3.

Maybe because it was limited to PC only at that time there wasn't a large enough audience.

I loved the first Alone in the Dark, it was terrifying at the time, lol.

HowTF are you going to have a list of recent survival horror games and not include Outlast?

Neonridr4124d ago

He also forgot Daylight, The Forest, Dreadout, Among the Sleep, and my most anticipated title; Routine.

It's great seeing these new horror games popping up.
Personally a little less horror games in first person would be nice. Maybe more japanese inspired horror.
Really excited for Dreadout!

The revival of the genre is cool and all but it's getting alittle over saturated with the whole walking around in first person and suffering loads of loud jump scares over and over.

There isn't going to be an Xbox next gen, just a Microsoft branded PC that any manufacturer can make.

Thank you for using the term "region" since that was always what happened. The amount of media that used the term country led to many misinformed people.

According to SteamDB Statistics:
"The use of the word "subdivisions" below refers to states, provinces, regions and other categories."

"Totals
As of december 2017, there are 250 countries, 4024 subdivisions and 45261 cities in Steam's location data."
