My first jump scare I remember was In resident evil when the dogs jumped through the window ,wasn't expecting that. I think horror in games can be a bit like horror movies where the unknown in the first of a series means any unexpected scares or twists are heightened, but this can be diluted in the sequel, especially when like the Alien sequel the tension now comes less from the psychology of the fear of the unknown and moves more toward rollercoaster action where the physical expectation of being in danger means the adrenal pumping moments now come in the form of when where and how something will strike coupled with coping with how to overcoming the horror.
