I have to agree. The element of "what you don't see is what scares you the most" is a very important part of any horror media, not just games, and it can't really be replicated in 4k ultra High Definition. You'd probably need to change the whole artstyle to make it fit.

Well, I for one appreciate that at least one other person here gets it.

It was never about what you could see, it was about allowing your imagination, driven by the atmosphere, to fill the gaps, and that's why it worked so well.

The clearer and more detailed games become, the less room they leave for the imagination.

I have beaten SH2, 3 several times on PC with the highest resolutions possible in front of a monitor and also with noise filter turned off, it was just as scary as playing on the PS2 with via CRT. I mean you see the pre rendered CGI cutscenes who have better graphics than real time, do they not drive the atmosphere? Then why shouldnt better graphics in general do it?
