Mikami: 'There aren't any real survival horror games in the world right now'

This is something to look forward to.

RE4 wasn't survival horror either, Shinji.  Also, my second thought here was "hah, someone hasn't played Siren: Blood Curse"

Pfffft, lost faith in Mikami, he helped push RE to action, whats gonna stop him from doing so yet again with this?

Pass

this better be good.

frick this is mean

He's right. There aren't.

...on consoles...

Someone should've told him people still play games on PCs

Amnesia is 75% off right now on Steam, someone should gift Mr. Mikami a copy ;)

Anyone here remembers resident evil 3.5? The truth is the original resident evil 4 was supposed to be resident evil 3.5 and capcom was planning on concluding the entire franchise with that. But Mikami as the father of resident evil did not want to , so eventually we got the resident evil 4 we have been babbling about for years. Resident evil is far more than just a "horror" game, as a fan of the franchise, i would not even say that it is any scarier than the recent horror games such as amnesia and etc, but just as the rest of the older titles every old resident evil had a lot of things to discover, a lot more strategies for those speedrun players to choreograph. Those RTS are barely made for modern games because they are simply so simple that we do not even need to think to be good at them, such as resident evil 6 which is only about shooting zombies. Yes of course, Mikami might have missed quite a few contemporary horror titles, but it does not make him an inferior game developer. remember Clover? God Hand? the first Devil May Cry? Vanquish?and so on.

I have got a lot faith in his games.

I agree with the statement. I quite RE at RE5. Everything since then has been a complete pile of CRAP.

If you only released the first Resident Evil 4 you were working on this could've been completely different, I still remember when Mikami said "Don't pee your pants." when he showed the trailer at 2003 E3.

Mikami: 'There aren't any real survival horror games in the world right now' so true 

No I don't really care for this genre at all. I like horror just not in video games

don't forget about 4 its epic

The trailer looked very generic... like they were trying to combine horror monsters together. 

Looks like it has the potential to be a good game. Ill be watching out for it in the future. I wonder if it's a first person or third person game.

'There aren't any real survival horror games in the world right now'

Let's see here.....
1) Amnesia
2) Slender
3) Silent Hill
4) Dead Space 1&2 (3 is not a survival horror, it's a bloody action game)

5) Fatal Frame

There's others I can't think of at the top of my head, but Survival Horror does still exist, it's just not accomplished as often as it used to be.

There needs to be an Illbleed remake. That is all.

I'm excited for the next 5 years or so.  Game development takes a long time, and it's only been recently that there's been a large outcry of how games are degrading quickly... how there are no real surivor horror games, tactical shooters like the original GR or rainbow 6, and so on.  Devs are starting new IP's to get back into that market because they themselves like to play these kinds of games.  I hope to see games like this one as well as takedown and ground branch as well as a lot of new IP's taking (at least some) games back to the level they were at when I started gaming.  Back to the type of games that got me into gaming.  It's been over a year since the last time I bought a game, and months since I rented something I actually wanted to play.  There are just no games that appeal to me anymore considering it was resident evil, operation flashpoint, ghost recon and rainbow 6 that got me into gaming.

Me: 'Damn straight. It is about time somebody went back to survival horror'

Yes please bring back the scare, if this does well then we could see the return of the survival horror phenomenons like Clock Tower, Fatal Frame, Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark, Resident Evil, D, and even Eternal Darkness (which Nintendo already renew its trademark).

I like the bloody Ringu coming out of pool of blood.  Not so much a fan of wires and torture tools.  Those are just blood and gore horror.

I consider myself Mikami lover and have played almost his every game since past 10 years, will play this and am sure it will be fun.

But considering the premise, lack of combat and big budget, Its hard for me to even think it will be financially successful. People hate horror especially interactive and satisfying a big budget will be hard.

Anyways best of luck to them and can't wait

It's funny to see Amnesia worship here and some fellas talking about Mikami ruining RE.

That's not even funny, such an ignorance.

Yeah, the sad truth is that almost every single horror game that has become a series, will end up with more action-oriented gameplay... But it is kind of natural, because you've seen the monsters once and are familiar with them in the sequels. Just look at the Dead Space series (I like all 3 main games a lot): the original was a really good and tense horror game with atmosphere, but the sequels have the same stuff in a different setting, so you become familiar with the necromorphs and they simply are not as scary. If horror games want to remain scary, they must never get sequels and the developers have to always create something new. You can't change everything in a game and then call it Dead Space 2 or 3, that would just make the fans angry.

You mean other than Amnesia which no offense is scarier than RE.

What made RE1 so good ? Fear ? Lack of Save Points ? Clumsy combat ? Bad camera ? Difficulty ?

Amy, game with ton of homages towards the old school horror, comes out and: 3/10 because - Lack of Save Points, Clumsy combat, Bad camera, Difficulty.

If a RE1 came out now it would be utterly trashed exactly because of the things that made it good before. Nobody makes traditional horrors anymore because people are hypocrites.

And the biggest reason for this is because Capcom went off and made Resident Evil into a sodding cover shooter and screwed over all their old fans.

amnesia? i dont knoe about that

I want this game to succeed....I TRULY want this game to succeed and crush RE6 to tiny little pieces so that the dirt of a  company known as CAPCOM opens their eyes and realize that true survival horror fans still live and breathe in large numbers!! Resident Evil 6 was a colossal middle finger to survival horror fans and sadly shows us that capcom are fully ready to shamelessly butcher a fantastic franchise in every way possible..

If this is a huge success both in quality and sales wise...this will make many greedy devs realize that not all of us are brain dead casuals that think gaming revolves around COD!!!!
