News::The Evil Within is "Pure Survival Horror" | The Escapist

The Escapist: "Horror can be a hard sell. It doesn't have the same mass appeal that straight action does, but there's something truly impactful about a legitimately scary story, be it in a game, a movie, or a book. What makes a good horror story, however, is hard to define. It's a nebulous blend of suspense, action, and thrills, which nobody seems to have been able to turn into a reliable formula. Shinji Mikami, creator of Resident Evil, however, hopes to reclaim his place at the top of the survival horror food chain by 'taking survival horror back to its original roots.' What these roots are, exactly, wasn't made clear, but from what we saw in the The Evil Within demo, he's off to a good start."
