Talk:Survival horror

Excessive Examples

The article as it is is just talking about various new and or popular horror-themed games. Several of the sources do not mention that the games themselves belong to this genre, how they fit the genre, or why we need to know about them in context of the genre.

Result: Delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 20:55, 14 September 2025 (UTC)

Currently, the article peters off after the 2005 as an overview of the genre. The later parts of the article just list various new and popular games that are not really reflective of the genre in their sources (i.e: The Last of Us states it has "survival horror" elements, but does not elaborate. The article it cites does not even state this). It basically makes the last 15 years of the gerne vague and becomes a list of "Game: brief plot summary" instead of how it contributed to the genre or how the genre did or did not change. There are decent amount of unsourced statements, statements that are not backed up by their source, that make the article fail WP:GACR6 on it being Verifiable and broad in its coverage and not containing original research Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:16, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

From The Last of Us down, the article is kind of a mess. But I think it's salvageable. There's some things mentioned there like asymmetrical horror games, FNF, and the RE remakes, that were landmarks in genre evolution. I don't think anything is really "missing".

Nowadays there is a pretty good consensus among gaming journalists that the 2019 release of the Resident Evil 2 remake has ushered a 'renaissance' of survival horror where game developers have begun to revive old franchises (such as Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark and Fatal Frame), as well as producing new ones (Alan Wake 2, Cronos: The New Dawn) that are more classic survival horror than ever before. This has been added as a new part of the article from 2019-present. I think this is a pretty good start! Feel free to contribute more! Jonipoon (talk) 18:50, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
