Why Is No One Making AAA Horror Games Anymore?

Saif from eXputer inquires, "Despite the everlasting popularity of the genre, why hasn't there been a good AAA horror game in a while now?"

Jin_Sakai1d 12h ago

Because the gaming industry is obsessed with live service games.

Rynxie23h ago

Because he touches himself at night to characters like lady Dimitrescu.

Crows9020h ago

You're the one still thinking about her

@crow

Did I give away your secret? It's okay, if you sit on your hand and numb it, you can pretend it's her playing with your little stick.

MaximusPrime_1d 12h ago

Good for me, I have no interests in horror games

-Foxtrot1d 3h ago

Even when they do it's first person trying to copy Outlast, Five Nights, P.T etc

I think the Dead Space / RE2 / RE4 Remake and the Evil Within 2 showed you can have a good story based, third person survival horror game.

jeromeface1d ago

remakes is another good reason

Calisto Protocol was also fun with fantastic presentation.

FinalFantasyFanatic16h ago

I feel like we haven't had much in the way of horror games for years, I think it became rare after the PS2/PS3 gen. Maybe i'll pick up that Crow Country that recently came out, that looks good.

Venoxn4g14h ago

Crow Country needs some more love.. and more exposure

Redemption-641d 1h ago

Because outside of a fee games, most don't sell that well

Crows9020h ago

So in other words...AAA publishers don't have creativity or passion for games.

CrimsonWing691d 1h ago

Didn’t we have Dead Space Remake and Resident Evil 4 Remake last year?

thorstein1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

Among others

And isn't Dying Light 2 a horror game?

Scissorman1d ago

And Alan Wake 2 and Alone in the Dark.

on_line_forever8h ago

I like Alone in the dark but it's not AAA game

richardmmorales16h ago

We also had The Quarry and The Dark Pictures The Devil In Me.

New and improved ASUS ROG Ally X battery life is just what it needs to compete with the Steam Deck

Yet another leak for the ASUS ROG Ally X points towards as much as 8 hours of battery, but how does that compare to the competition?

Vits4d ago

Honestly, I really like this updated version. But it doesn't solve the biggest flaw that the original had for me: the Z1 Extreme APU. Yes, it's an extremely powerful part, but it is not part of AMD's Adrenalin driver update program, so it's dependent on Asus for driver updates. And unfortunately, Asus doesn't have a stellar record of support for their devices.

Goodguy013d ago

Up to 8 hours basically just means the least demanding games. AAA gaming at highest wattage would probably be about 2-3 hours which is good compared to just about 1 hour with the current ally. The OLED Deck can do about 2-3hrs.

mrcatastropheAF1d 7h ago

With much less performance so that makes sense.

The Steamdeck shines at the lower TDP end but gets absolutely mopped at the high end.

Similar longevity with much better performance is a big win for the Ally X

Killa782d ago

Too bad Asus are all awful company.

PRIMORDUS2d ago

They used to be the best when it comes to motherboards, now I will never buy anything from them again.

Firebird3602d ago

8 hrs yea right. Running tetris?

Skuletor2d ago

Only after setting the screen brightness to the lowest level, of course.

Notellin1d 8h ago

They tested the battery life watching a game of Tetris in 360p. Running Tetris natively brought the number down slightly to 1 hour and 38 minutes. 😂

Asuka2d ago

Nope. The only improvements I want to hear is better customer support. Otherwise, I can't be bothered.
