They can talk the talk, but the real question is, will they really walk the walk?

I have my doubts that they will capture the original feel of the 1st RE games, but hey, maybe they'll succeed in doing it. At least now they recognize the problems that plagued 5 and 6.

nothing will cpature the original feel of the 1st RE games or the original SIlent Hill games. You are grown up now, games wont scarry you these days.

Unless you are completley defenless and there are monsters who can kill you with one hit, but gamers wouldnt like it

I think it's still possible. I guess it depends on the developers understanding how horror works and how to best scare the player. I know this isn't a good example since it's old, but I think Fatal Frame 4 did an excellent job with horror. I thought I was over scares when I played it, but that one proved me wrong.  What it did best was always leaving the player feeling unsettled, and just played with your mind often.

So yeah, I think horror is still possible today, but just had to be done right.
