In an interview with Edge, Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami lamented that as time goes on, gamers are just harder and harder to please. Specifically, horror gaming enthusiasts – we are more resistant to the types of scares that would have had us soiling our pants back in the day.
Not much has changed when it comes to instilling terror in the player, but people have got used to the tropes of horror and they know what’s coming next, so in that sense it is harder to make them afraid.
Additionally, Mikami talks a little about the kind of scares in The Evil Within.
The scariest parts will be when you encounter enemies that cannot be killed with a gun. Even if you shoot them they won’t die, so you’ll have to run or use a trap to beat them. That should be fun – and also scary.
What do you think? Are you harder to scare now than you were when you first stepped foot into the world of survival horror? Sound off in the comments section!
