Why Survival Horror Needs To Come To The PlayStation Move

PushSquare: "Silent Hill: Shattered Memories proved to me that survival horror benefits from motion control better than many other genres. The game placed you in a particularly threat-free world; opting instead to create tension through interaction and atmosphere. Simply moving your flashlight across the game's eerily dark setting was enough to place you in the heart of the action; and that sense of place is key to making horror effective in video games."

all on 1 blu ray disk and make resident evil 6 exclusive to the ps3 and dead rising 1

Well that sounds great and all I think we should look at more realistic possibilities.

I'd like Tecmo to pull a NG2 Sigma with Fatal Frame 4 and get that to the PS3. On top of this I'd like to see Siren: BLood Curse get a PS Move and trophy patch. Both additions would really add some attention to the game.

It would also be nice if SCEE made a new Ghosthunter but I agree... I think survival horror could work nicely with the PS Move: the potential is there.

I'm still waiting on my PS3 exclusive horror title this gen. Imagine a dark and gloomy horror title on the PS3 with GOW3/uc2 graphics......I just got a mean stomach ache thinking of that. CREEPY!

If they do release L4D on PS3, I hope for everyone's sake that they do the original and not just the sequel like they are doing with Mass Effect.

Mass Effect is nowhere near as good as the sequel, the sequel just improved the experience immensely, and you don't need the original experience to appreciate everything that goes on with the sequel (it helps, but you don't need it at all, it's a very good standalone experience, too).

But Left 4 Dead 1 in my opinion is still the game to beat. L4D2 was a step backwards in my opinion. I didn't like the new enemy types, I didn't like the new weapons, and I didn't like the new level designs. I think that the game in general just wasn't as balanced in design and it wasn't as purely fun as the original. The original is one of my favorite games of all time, literally. It's got the formula just simplified enough and yet varied enough with the AI director for each time you play a level that it is pure, distilled fun. The sequel muddied the formula by introducing new things that didn't add to it. It's like... I dunno, like a good beer. You have a nice brew that tastes great in its simple distillation. It's lovely. Then you add in something like apple juice and while the two are good in their own right, the beer is just better without the fruity addition.

That's just my opinion on it.

Silent Hill or Condemned would be awesome with move and possibly kenetic as well. As long as it feels natural and "part of the game" instead of just gimmicky or even the feeling of motion control being a chore.

Survival horror needs to come to everything. It's a dying genre.

mantisimo5009d ago

And it shouldn't be as it was once THE genre that everyone waited for but since all the major franchises took weird roads eg Silent Hill and Resi, even Fatal frame (which was very scary but to me not as playable as the others in the group), They all seem to have lost their way.

Hope something good is out there for us Survivors and I don't mind if it uses move or not.

Bring back scary survival horror!

I would love to see a dev work on an online tps open-world zombie apocalypse game(think GTA with zombies). The online could be integrated like Demon's Souls where you just bump into other players, and you can choose to work with them to reach an endpoint; like Journey's concept. Add this with the Move and this could be one hell of a kick ass game; at least to me anyway.

DelbertGrady5009d ago

Isn't Dead Space 2 already confirmed as Move compatible?

raztad5009d ago

That is a good question. I havent seen anything official.

IMO, MOVE fits very well DS2.

8 Best Horror Game Remakes

If you're going to relive a nightmare, you might as well do it right.

One thing that's been prevalent now more than ever is video game remakes. Dormant series like Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell, and System Shock aren't first getting brand-new sequels but remakes of the classic entries. Horror titles are no exception, with the recent Resident Evil, Dead Space, and Silent Hill remakes.

Putting aside whether these remakes are necessary, most of them are excellent. They can expand and enrich the world with added details, improve gameplay mechanics, or put more focus on the story. Standard remakes will count, but story remakes or reimaginings will also be included.

If Castlevania is there as an Horror Game then Demon's Souls should be there as well.

Also, you might want to add Shadow of the Colossus there too. Where you play as a mass murdering genocidal maniac on a warpath.
