Re: Dead Space

the old style of horror games just isnt cutting it any more in the US. Take for example silent hill last 2 installments (before shattered memories) They are in the original format, yet sold terribly for crappy and clunky gameplay mechanics. The original gameplay introduced in resident evil are outdated and needed a overhaul. What we got is this new style of action horror type. Now I dont see this as a solution (as pointed out by Kibs and Sandy) that it is less on the horror and more action. A balance needs to be found between the two mechanics.

Now our one hope of light is Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. It is in the new gameplay wise, but there is no combat (I repeat, NO COMBAT) in the game. So the action has to be put on the older style of searching and solving puzzles, a throwback to where horror games originated from, the puzzle games like myst. If it sell well we may see the other major franchises (RE, Dead Space) make a turn back to their puzzle roots.
