>last good survival horror was some dumb indie game
Why is the genre so dead?

Horror games are a niche genre so no big studio wants to make them.
Indie devs can make them for that reason but often lack the talent or intent to make it something other then a hide and seek simulator.
Horror in general has become stagnant because we've seen it all before and have become desensitised to it. And due to recent movie trends its turned to the lowest common denominator i.e. jump scares and video games have followed suit because money.

Yeah that's why Slenderman and Five Nights at Freddy made a billion dollars and we get a shitty spookhouse Paranormal movie every month that makes a trillion dollars

Fatal Frame 5 happened after that though. Ayy lmao Isolation was great too.

Survival Horror is niche. Walking/jumpscare simulators are what's making dosh.

Devolving into hyperbole is not a counter argument. Those games did not make a billion dollars and did you not read what I said about lowest common denominator.
All those games you mentioned are why there are no good horror games any more.
Wasn't Alien Isolation pretty good?
Does anyone have that silent hill copy pasta? You know, the one with the mega links?
Because no one knows how to make a good survival game. If you make it actually close to survival, you wind up making a simulator that's usually just frustrating to most people, and kind of boring to the rest. If you make it a little easier for those people to digest, you wind up not making it survival at all.
You can still find great horror games if you scrounge RPG maker games though.

That info graph doesn't take into account people who own a PC more powerful than a toaster. SH 2 3 and 4 look far better rendered at 6x native in pcsx2e than PC version at 1080.

You can render SH3 at 5000x5000 out of the box
SH2 on Pc is a glitchy mess, but you can get anti aliasing, woo hoo

>Playing SH3 stretched over 3 monitors
Heh this is really weird, looks nice though.
>>332158238
>SH3 at 5k×5k
Oh shit, I had no idea.

>jump scares/walking sims are the same as survival horrors
