Avoiding controversial choices... I'd go with Silent Hill to Tango Gameworks. While TEW is too actiony for SH it's still the best closest thing we've gotten since SH4

TEW is the best closest thing to japanese horror we've gotten since PS2 era.

That's what I said, lol.

I thought you were referring only to Silent Hill...

I'd give Xenosaga to Monolith Soft.
I'd also give Child of Light to Kojima Productions assuming Del Toro is involved.
And I'd give Zone of the Enders to Platinum. I'd cry if that happened.

Yes, and what i meant now was that Japanese horror was pretty much a non thing last gen, other than Siren Forbidden Curse. So, our statements end up meaning the same thing

The Order 1886 to Naughty Dog.

Siren Blood Curse, and you're forgetting the masterpiece called The 3rd Birthday...!

... :P

There's also Deadly Premonition, and maybe I can dig another example if I think too much. But yeah, I get were you are coming from.

Give every Valve IP to Insomniac. Sorry Valve but you are just too busy running a Multi-Billion dollar company!

Right, sometimes I mix it up because of the European name for the old games..

3rd birthday was a good-ish action game, no horror.. I wouldn't say the older games were horror either, just "survival horror" like RE, with neither of them being particularly scary or disturbing. When I think of Japanese horror it's Silent Hill, Rule of rose, Clock Tower, Fatal frame, Siren, Haunting ground (kinda..MC was a bit too well endowed). Even though TEW verges on the same things from RE or PE that drift it into a different area than these games, its brand of horror and psychology still brought me closer to those games than RE/PE, hence I'd still tag it under that Japanese horror category.
