Will there ever be another AAA survival horror game?

As far as Silent Hill 2 goes, I just picked it up earlier this week and popped it in for the first time tonight. So far I think the game is trash. It has that asstastic control scheme that made the original Resident Evil games so much fun. And WTF is up with save points, the manual only describes them as mysterious red things.

Needless to say I played the game for about and hour, walked around with nothing to do but stare at fog and died without finding a save point. Now if I want to play it again I have to start over and walk around for another hour all while trying to find this mysterious red thing the manual doesn't even bother to show you a good picture of.

If this is your idea of a "true" survival horror game you can fucking keep it.

 

Silent Hill 2 is the finest example of survival horror. If you don't like it , obviously you dont get it...hence games like GTA4, Gears of War and other instant gratification games exist to keep you happy.

This thread wasn't made to try to recrut more people to like true survival horror.

 

It's not that I don't get the game, I understand it and find it very creepy. Nor am I knocking the fact you only get a large piece of wood as a weapon. My cheif complaint was that the game forces you to find save points inside trash cans and other weird places. It's the stupidest save system I have ever seen in my life.  It becomes more of an issue when you've been playing the game for an hour without saving because you don't even know what to look for due to a vauge description in the manual and then you die because of some random bug crawling on the ground you could barely see and have to do an assload of walking around all over again.

Yes the game was creepy and tense but that save system is ass.
