Sure GCN has great SH titles like Resident Evil, Resident Evil 0 and the upcoming Resident Evil 4...
but what about the other SH games? I meen...the other RE releases were nothing but reprints of the original PSone and Dreamcast versions. And there are alot of survival horror games out there, like:
*Alone in the dark (5 games)
*Devil May Cry (2 games - exlusive to PS2)
*Dino Crisis (3 games)
*Evil Dead (2 games)
*Nightmare Creatures
*Onimusha (3 games - exclusive to PS2) ...yes Onimusha counts...
*Parasite Eve (2 games - exclusive to PSone)
*Silen Hill (3 games - exclusive to PSone & 2)
*The Thing (On all systems...except GCN)
*Clocktower
*Resident Evil (Alotta' games...most systems...no complaints here)
*Eternal Darkness (Yah. Somethin' else sorta-close to being scary...on the cube.)
Now out of all those titles...I haven't seen any sequels released on the GCN...and with all these
companies dropping nintendo...I'm afraid we may never get these games...

As for Silent Hill, well.. Yeah. I love the Silent Hill games, and it is a tad odd that Konami ignore the GC everytime, especially seeing as they know horror game fans would own a GC already for the exclusive RE's. But hey, it's Konami..
If anything, I'd like to see Capcom port over Gregory Horror Show to GameCube. It's great fun on PS2, but it just seems like a game that'd get more love if it were on GameCube.

I completely agree with you. The mindless zombies really ruined Eternal Darkness for me. I'd be wondering around in an atmospheric mansion or church, looking at the great amount of detail and generally being very creeped out... and then I'd see a zombie. I'd run up to it, slash it head off. Suddenly, I realize it's just a game, and my livelihood only depends on my thumb's proximity to the 'hack' button.
On the other hand, some of the insanity effects were very creepy. Blood dripping from the walls, strange voices... as long as it's subtle, it works. When I come into a room and my limbs start falling off, however, I simply sigh and wait for the effect to end.
Rant over.

I don't play many survival horrors simply because I have parents who won't let me buy a RE game. ;__; of course, I'd be too chicken to play. =P Metroid prime scares me more than ED, surprisingly. (MP scares me to the point where i just won't play it anymore. I don't play ED anymore cause I'm at a hard part.) So I haven't played any of those games, and I don't really care.
Pikmin is a survival horror game.

Of course ED had inadequate zombies, cuz it's not a survival horror game, it's a barbecue. It's about chopping limbs off everything like the sick beings we are, and looking for the next door to open. There was hardly any trouble surviving in the first place.
See, Chris Redfield had that pathetic survival knife, not to mention the sheathed knife that was stuck on his vest that he or any player never figured out to use. As it turns out, the knife is not very good at dismembering zombies, so Chrissy boy really did have to do some work to survive, which is why it's probably called a survival knife in the first place. On the other hand, every melee weapon in ED was great for turning monsters into grocery store meat. So generally your character had a higher combat potential than the monsters, unlike Chris who's a wuss. Your ED characters didn't need to survive the monsters so much as the monsters had to survive YOU! Given ED's story with the opposing sides/alignments of monsters, this makes some sense since you set out to destroy them.

I wish there were more games like Soul Reaver and Castlevania on the cube. Castlevania on the N64 was a nice kind of horror I liked more than RE in a way and Soul Reaver was just awesome.

If survival horror really requires the player to be weaker than his enemies, then count me out. I hate it when I have to escape from normal enemies, I want to be able to take 'em out. Preferrably permanently.

Draygaia: Well, they didn't try to emulate King, they tried to go for Lovecraft. I've read a Lovecraft-based book once, the most annoying part was that whenever anything interesting happened, the main character suddently couldn't move or was for some other reason unable to act. Granted, that might be the style of the writer (who was not Lovecraft) but it was f###ing annoying, kind of like a Final Fantasy game.
That was the writer, not Lovecraft- I've read nearly every Lovecraft story published and the best way to describe his is a modern Edgar Allen Poe. They both have extremely similar writing style and write about the same kind of events with similar characters. Lovecraft incorporates more science fiction into his stories, though- his writing is classified more as "cosmic horror", which they just made up to suit him.
Seriously, though, anyone who liked Eternal Darkness needs to read as much Lovecraft as possible, especially the ones taking place in the Cthulhu mythos (nearly all have a reference, albeit a scant one, to it).

I don't know why some people put ED in the survival horror category. I can't believe this is happening.

Pretty much why Capcom created Resident Evil 4. Diary notes may mention the undead, although it looks as if the only thing we'll be fighting against in this game is huge monsters and crazed villagers... who are lethal, fast and intelligent enough to set up an ambush.
To be honest, I didn't really happen to like Eternal Darkness. I found it as more of an adventure game then a survival horror... probablly for the fact (or opinion) that it wasn't scary to me at all. Zombies and monsters with colors of the rainbow didn't really appeal to me all that much. Psychological horror games aren't my sort, although Silent Hill is something that'd catch my attention.
But I do agree, that we need at least ONE more saga of survival horror for the cube. But then again, the Resident Evil games are taking such a large change storywise and in gameplay that they seem like different games anyway... so how could you go wrong with not liking the horror that the GCN has?
