I wrote this feature article for a site I work for and thought it would be relevant to post here in case anyone was interested in reading it. It focuses on how to make Survival Horror keep it's core values without resorting to 'action'izing games while still appealing to the masses and making the genre profitable.

If anyone's interested in taking a read you can check it out here.

What survivor horror needs right now...is Z.W.E.I.

That was a really good read, Ikari, mostly spot on i agree and il throw more out there later but just about to head to bed. Great article though.

I'd take just the horror factor. Immersion via atmospheric art direction or sound design are so badly lacking from the Resident Evil series now. I don't to hear the voices of co-op playing teenagers.
