The releases that will take place in 2023 are good video games, although the past is unrepeatable, are we in a golden age of survival horror?


Dead Space Remake




Alone in the Dark Remake



Resident evil 4 Remake




Alan wake 2



Fatal frame Mask of the Lunar Eclipse

.

Silent hill 2 remake



Greyhill Incident



Routine



The Callisto Protocol

Not even close. We're certainly better off than we were but the only real new title of worth was RE2 and Capcom has already completely squandered that fresh start.

Seems we’re in the golden age of remakes. Very little original horror games that are having impact. We did get Signalis tho which is a bright spot.

 

[Alexios]

Oh, cool, thought Routine was cancelled.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Things always move in cycles - and survival horror is for sure on the rise.

...that and Strategy RPGs - which is a pleasant surprise. (Tactics Ogre, FFT Remake, FE, Vanaris, Front Mission, Triangle Strat, and others im forgetting).

This. Silent Hill 2, Fatal Frame, Dead Space, all the RE remakes. Without those the list would be teeny tiny.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

It’s definitely an improvement from years ago admittedly, but I think the golden age was in the PSOne to PS2 era.

 

[SpiceRacz]

None of these games have even come out yet. RE4 and probably the Dead Space remake are the only sure things on that list. The rest could be total duds.

 

[Imtjnotu]

None of these are better than fear.

Fear and the original deadspace were peak.

 

[semiconscious]

don't know about horror, but, according to that list, we're definitely in the neo-golden age of remakes & sequels...

I will get Dead Space and RE4 eventually, but both are redundant. They were easily available prior and played fine, unless you're a baby about anything that doesn't feel like a standardized shooter.
I hope Alone in the Dark is a decent 7 to 8 out of 10, but they've failed many times before.
The Alan Wake section in Control was very good, so I'm looking forward to what they are planning - though I wasn't big on the original.
I've waited since 2008 for Fatal Frame 4, so I'll get it no matter what. However, FF5 was not very good and I fear this one is closer to that than the better titles in the series like FF2.

Resident Evil definitely sparked new interest in the genre, which is good. Especially since indie walking sims never did it for me. But it remains to be seen what can truly stand out.

I read that as "Are we in the Neo Geo Age of Survival Horror"

That would be neat.

 

[01011001]

there's arguably maybe 1 survival horror game in that list you posted

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Funny that I always considered Dead Space to be RE4 meets System Shock 2, and now all 3 games are getting remade in the same year.

 

[Deerock71]

I hadn't seen that 5 minutes of RE4 Remake yet. Looking pretty scrumptious.

[EDMIX]

No. That will be when PS7 releases with the brain implants.

(Depends stock is going to fucking go thru the roof)
