Top 5 Horror Titles That Deserve a Next-Gen Makeover

"From classic horror franchises like Resident Evil and Silent Hill to newcomers like Amnesia and Outlast, there’s been a wealth of undeniably terrifying experiences for brave players to overcome over the years (even if they absolutely had to leave their confines illuminated in the process). Unfortunately, the noticeable decline of “true” horror-focused titles – thanks to developers instilling a heavier focus on adrenaline-fueled action – has diminished renown franchises in the genre significantly in recent years.

Glad to see some 'The Suffering' and 'Condemned' love going on in this article.

We need a Condemned 3 first :(

Maybe after Shadow of Mordor?

I think we need a reboot, personally. They jumped the shark, if you will, with the sequel a bit too much.
I need more Condemned in my life though. One of the best horror games of the last generation. Of, well, ever really.

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
