[News] Dead Space 3 has co-op because games are less scary with a friend

I understand that co-op isn't forced, which is nice. But did they really have to make the game look like a mix between Gears of War and Lost Planet? :/ I can already tell that scariness isn't going to be an issue. Actually, I'll be surprised if there are even any jump scares in this one.

Agreed. I think the day of the horror game may be dead. I'm not saying it can't rise up again from the grave, but for now, the genre is dead.

Horror games from AAA publishers that need their games to sell might be dead. Games like Amnesia and Lone Survivor, from indie developers, aren't going anywhere.

Don't get me wrong; Amnesia is great. It's also, what? Four years old?

It's two years old. And its sequel is negative one year old.
