RPGs (including old school ones) and Horror games are very popular, it seems.

Just like old times...

If now the JRPGs would come back in serious fashion on consoles, then I'd be sooo happy

It would be great indeed. But Square Enix (let's admit it, they're the only one who could bring this trend back if they wanted to...) doesn't seem to be interested in the genre anymore, regardless of what they said about it...

Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

Why didn't you mention Silent Hill last gen :(

the lists i was looking at only listed the HD remaster which i decided not to count. no one mentioned downpour.

The Last of US, Metro and the Walking Dead aren't horror. They are thrilling though and TLOU has a lot of scary elements. Resident Evil and Dead Space became action games.

So I think with Until Dawn and Silent Hills and few other games it might be better in the upcoming 12 months than the whole previous gen

yeah, like i said,.. what is/isn't horror isn't always easy to define. these populated most of the lists i saw posted around the internet so i decided to include them. if you want to remove them it just make the horror resurgence look all the more impressive.
