Is PS4 bringing back once sucessful companies that were severely affected on the 7th gen?

True that, yo!  LOL.  The best part is that the newer horror games (for the most part) are focusing way more on the atmosphere, which is true horror, and not the random jump scares.  Take the Silent Hill franchise, for example.  The SH games from PS1 and the PS2 gens were mostly about creepy atmosphere, with a couple jump scares, and your character not being the best at combat.  The ones from last gen mostly focus on jump scares and combat, with very little effort into going into creating a truly engrossing, creepy atmosphere.  Kojima and Del Toro seem to be correcting that with SHs, if PT is anything to go off of.

It is good to see the genre coming back but last gen had quite a few horror games early on.

Siren Bloodcurse, Alan Wake, Cursed Mountain, Escape from Bug Island, a few Silent Hills. Its not like they didnt try to make horror games its just people would rather 3 CoD games to every horror game.

 

They were some horror games, but they were lacking or changed thier style to appeal to the masses. Silent Hill has shifted from the japanese team to an american one and turned into a pardoy if it's former self. Same goes with resident Evil which turned into a COD/Gears of war crossover but with zombies. Some games has shifted from their home console to another one and became very niche (Fatal Frame moved from PS and X-Box to wii) and doesn't help with the rise of so called "horror games" which were either a jump scare festivaval or just pure gore Ex: all those indie horror games. The only horror game that I can remember enjoying while playing last generation were Siren: Blood curse and the HD remaster of Silent Hill 2 & 3. This generation so far has made the return of actual horror games from big publishers with Alien Isolation and Evil within to some degree. Not to mention the upcming Silent Hills, which is returning to japanese devlopers held by Kojimna himself and Del Toro. Sorry for my long ranting, but I didn't know how to right a short version of my response.
