I never said I wanted it to be an adventure game, but having at least enough freedom to take alternate paths or do things in a different order would make it more fun and less restrictive. Almost every other FPS or TPS has some degree of exploration.Quote:

Resident Evil is the epitome of survival horror, and exploration is a major facet of its gameplay. Besides, I've yet to play a game that even approaches being scary.
When I say some degree of exploration, I don't mean a wide open world, just the ability to find my own way from point A to point B. GoW is practically on rails.
Lol. Well, virtually nothing about this title is known, so all we're doing is speculating based on what Epic has previously done. Epic is an amazing studio, but there are things they don't do well, all I'm saying is that it'd be nice if they improved a little from game to game. The crappy writing and dialogue worked in Gears 1/2 because it fit the cheesy action movie motif fine, but that same dialogue wouldn't work in a more "psychological" game.Quote:

As it is, they described this new game as "nuanced", a word I would, by no stretch of the imagination, associate with Gears. So pardon me for being a little sceptical.
Now things I'm not concerned about in this game include, graphics, gameplay, level design, the environments and architecture, sound design, music,...etc. All that is going to be phenomenal, I'm positive. Now just give me some well written characters and a story I care about.

I am usually not scared by any game, but Fatal Frame can be very freaky and definitely alot scarier than any other survival horror game, especially Resident Evils.Quote:

It fit the game for what it was, and hopefully they will write dialogue that will fit a survival horror game when/if this is released.
Japanese games have horrible writing. T-R-B-L
Epic doesn't even have to be good at writing for one of their games to have good writing anyway. Besides, I doubt most gamers/survival horror fans could identify good writing i it jammed a Blu-Ray up their buttholes.
Also, FACT: Games are not scary. I haven't played one that was scary. When I was younger, sure. Hell I was afraid to get good at Space Harrier because having one of the big Ida faces cover the whole screen was creepy enough. I didn't want to get further in the game for fear there was worse.
Condemned 1/2 is a lot more intense than any of the RE games have ever been.
Miss World 96 Nude can be very startling!
