Then I watched the Japanese version of The Ring. I blame my aunts and uncles who made me watch movies like Carrie or Friday the 13th while I held out hope that they’d then put in Neverending Story or The Last Starfighter once they’ve gotten all the jump scares out of their system.Įventually, I’d get over my fear of gory slasher films and thought I was fine. And every single time, I experienced regret and anxiety as I gamely soldiered on to do my job, which, strangely enough, is what playing video games is sometimes.Īs a kid with an active imagination, I’ve always hated horror movies. P.T.Įvery single time, I played them late at night with the lights turned off. Review: Is Forspoken really as bad as some say? It’s a question I’ve asked myself many times while playing horror games over the years. Issac Clarke will never stop fighting the monsters until either they or he is gone forever.As I sat late at night in my living room with the lights turned off and the eerie quiet of Dead Space unfolding right in front of my eyes, a question popped in my mind. Something that motivates him and fuels his determination to defeat them once and for all. 24/7, he'll always be reminded of the monsters having power over him even after defeat. Maybe he needs to wear a suit to be able to walk and function properly, the monsters effectively having forced Issac into being imprisoned in the suit. Here's an idea that'll help, acknowledge the Issac Clarke is getting older and too banged up to be an action hero, instead of intense strength and agility, he should use his intelligence to get past monsters too. Low amounts of lighting was a good way that you used in the past. Seeing intimidating boss characters a while before having to fight them is a nice way to do that. A slow build is a good way to go about it. Jump-scares tend to come off as cheap and lazy ways to instill fear. So here is some advice on repairing the fear aspect of the series. You basically called the third installment "New Dead Space", fortunately and naturally we all know the solution, "Dead Space Classic". By changing the ingredients so much, you inadvertently made a "New Coke" situation happen. Sometimes your average consumer doesn't like change, that's a fact.
By trying to gain a new audience and fanbase, you alienated your original and dedicated fan base. That was also an idea that sounded good on paper. 2.) Replacing Horror with Action for increased sales.
