Is survival horror dead?

What else was it?

It's so dead not even /v/ cares about it

It was barely ever alive. It was always a niche genre. It's only dead now insofar as there are lots of shitty shovelware games that fit your description getting released alongside the occasional good games.

But franchises like Resident Evil and Silent Hill used to be million-sellers. Sure, those were probably the only two to ever sell such high numbers but still...

More RE than SH. RE was massive in the PS1 days, but more because it was one of the earlier "cinematic" games than for the horror. SH was never on the same level, not back then. And like you say that's pretty much the entire genre, two biggish franchises and a handful of other classics that were never really big sellers.

Every game's got horror elements now. It's like stealth, it's just one of those niche genres that's been folded into general AAA action cinematic experiences.

Was actually thinking of Outlast and all the shit indie clones. RE7 at least has guns and boss fights but it's still pretty meh compared to the 3rd person ones

I guess RE and SH just made me think the genre was a lot more successful than it really was. I still think it would be better to go back to classic 3rd person horror or just use the element better than what most offerings do these days

Horror and stealth are dead.

Me too. I reckon the indie scene will probably produce a decent throwback or two sooner or later. Dreadout was OK.

>>384570962
I saw a bit of gameplay from that some time ago. It looks good atmosphere wise but the gameplay seemed a bit too simple. Project zero had stuff like special shots and camera upgrades and stuff. Is there any of that in Dreadout?

>>384571567
Nah, it's pretty simple. Quite short too.

>>384571906
Bummer. Still better than nothing I guess. I'll look into getting it

Beggars can't be choosers.

I already admitted RE7 looks better than the walking jumpscare simulators cuz of the boss fights and stuff. But still, I just wish a big name developer would have a crack at making a classic 3rd person horror game again. Give it those dramatic and trippy camera angles and everything, you know?
