I'm reserving judgment until I actually play it but must say I'm utterly disappointed that, once again, Claire and Carlos are missing. Nor does there seem to be any option for playing Jill or Sheva. Don't get me wrong--Leon is a worthwhile character and without question my favorite. But one thing I always enjoyed about the series was their varying protagonists with sequels.

Resident Evil 5 actually did have a bit of cover-based shooting toward the end.

I'm just glad they've finally gone back to good ol' fashioned zombies.

It looks a tad unrestrained.

I agree, about the small scale horror... I think.

Amnesia gets my vote for favourite horror game. The amount of times that game has made me come close to pissing myself, yet it still retains a mysterious enough atmosphere that I want to keep playing it. Have not beaten it yet, so maybe it's a bit of a premature vote, but I do think it's hard to top Lovecraft-done-right (rare as it is).

I was hoping they would set it in China and channel some nutty "Fu Manchu" stuff. This trailer doesn't look awful, though. Parts of it suggest more of a horror approach, and parts look even more action-oriented than RE4. I hope the final product achieves a good balance.

Haha! I bet they find a way to bring him back. Logic doesn't play into things where Wesker is concerned. =T

For those "paranoid, searching every corner and dark alley, wondering what the hell is going to jump out at me next" moments it is and will probably always be RE 4.

RE4 was a great mix of action and action-horror. You didn't have too much dread, but you had grotesque stuff, gory kills and the occasional jump-scare.

Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. Any explanation I could offer here would just be a rehash of my review, so read that if you want to know why I think Eternal Darkness is basically the most perfect horror game I've ever played.

I'm a little suspicious of my first two choices as they're both 'the first one I played of the series' - but that's certainly fair in the case of Silent Hill, since I played it on initial release.

"Clock Tower" for the SNES is the most unnerving game I've ever seen someone else play, because I'm not gonna touch that shit. I want to be able to sleep at night.

I think if you took me and my best friend, we'd have a virtual war on our hands arguing between RE2 and SH2 for most impactful in the Survival Horror genre. I think SH1 is an overall better game than 2 (entering "Hellraiser World" was more terrifying in 1, for one thing...along with the fact that you just seemed more overwhelmed by monsters outdoors, so it felt like "survival" just getting from place to place), but 2 was so much more hard-hitting on an emotional level.

I agree with everything Overdrive said (love the Stairway to Hell scene... one of the most memorable in video game history). My two big beefs with Silent Hill 2 are that the thing around the next corner... is never around any corner. I waited that whole game for the jump at you moment before somewhere during the jail scene I realized it just wasn't going to happen. Final boss was one of the damn creepiest designs I've ever faced, though. A little weak when you consider how much ammo I had, but still creepy.

The two reasons I couldn't fully get behind it are because I thought the best gimmick in the game, the sanity bar, shouldn't have been as easy to get around.

Then why was the ability to completely skip such a huge aspect of the game included in the game in the first place? It would be like if in Uncharted 2 you could either choose to climb your way up the cliff to the temple of Shangri-la or you could take the empty dirt road right next to it, which was both easier and faster but lacked all the planned scenarios.

To make this game one of the best of the gen all they need to do is make it Resident Evil 4-2. How hard can that be?

They can't just recreate Resident Evil 4. Where would they find another evil midget?
