there does seem to be a bit of horror/survival horror, no?
two RE games, houses of the dead, obscure, manhunt, alone in the dark, etc.

we need that one about taking pictures of ghosts the DS got, oh and the suffering.

GoldenPhoenix: Alright, Bug Island can count. I don't think I would have used IGN as my reference though.

jakeOSX: House of the Dead is a rail shooter, and about as far from survival horror as you can get. I'm not complaining though, I just wish Sega would have included the first HotD in their re-release package.

Manhunt would probably be closer to a stealth game, me thinks. That one may be debatable however.

Not sure what I'd count Manhunt as, it is kind of a stealth/thriller.

i was lumping horror and survival horror together to get house of dead ;-) needed to pad the list

man hunt is survival, i'd say up to the player if it is horror. stealth? heh, not really important after stage one.

Guess what's out, guys?

The game looks really nice; far nicer than I thought it would...It looks like a mix of RE and Fatal Frame in terms of atmosphere, though the gameplay isn't very clear...

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #30 on:** August 21, 2008, 10:11:14 AM »

Yeah I definitely get a Fatal Frame/RE feel from it as well. I was slightly interested before, but moreso now.

Good start.

I could see developers get a thrill out of making spectacular graphics on the Wii.
With the PS3/360, everyone EXPECTS amazing graphics and are seldom impressed. With the Wii and its reputation for poor graphics, developers can really wow the fans when they use every bit of its power to make something that looks twice as good as all the other games on the console.

Those dancing shadows creep me out.

EXtoC4 · « **Reply #35 on:** August 22, 2008, 01:01:26 PM »

The atmosphere looks great, although not too much was going on in the environments. The main character, however, looked rather atrocious. The visuals did not pop with him, looking very low-res (did you see his backpack?)...Cursed Mountain does have a lot of development time left, so I expect things to improve tremendously.

Like you ShyGuy, the dancing shadows scared me.

Stogi · « **Reply #36 on:** August 22, 2008, 01:15:31 PM »

Wow. I was very impressed by the atmosphere. I watched that with no sound and I was still getting anxious.

Well what should be going on? You're way up in the middle of the Himalayas, exploring a ghost town...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #38 on:** August 22, 2008, 03:40:38 PM »

Liam Neeson (sp) and Christian Bale sliding off moutain slopes past exploding temples would spice up the game.

I'm not saying that there SHOULD BE lots of stuff going on in the middle of the Himalayas. Instead, I'm just noting that the graphics engine is not registering a lot of enemy AI, npc AI, moving objects or the like. Thus, the graphics should be pretty solid for such static scenes. I just hope the visuals transer over well during fighting scenes and when the ghosts/spirits swarm your character, who, did not look that great from the first footage.

For some reason I always think of Touhou when reading the title...

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #41 on:** August 22, 2008, 10:13:58 PM »

The music for the trailer was creepy and makes you feel all alone. The music combined with the atmosphere cemented that fact. The protagonist didn't look to good. the enemies were creepy. Basically what every one said.

The above link has details.I like the idea of the hallucinations.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #43 on:** August 23, 2008, 09:36:13 PM »

Takes place in the 1980s, eh? I guess there's no GPS and other technological gadgets to rely on!

And yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing how the Eternal Darkness-inspired hallucinations are played out...

Stogi · « **Reply #44 on:** August 23, 2008, 10:09:11 PM »

Finally! It's been too long. Why has no one further explored hallucinations?

but that doesnt mean he cant have a handy-dandy walkman with an all Rush mixtape in it! ohhh yeah!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #47 on:** August 24, 2008, 01:09:34 PM »

Hahaha, fighting Buddhist ghosts to Rush would be hilarious..........And thus probably not fitting for the kind of atmosphere they are shooting for, sadly...

EasyCure · « **Reply #48 on:** August 24, 2008, 04:15:02 PM »

that'll be the wii-ware spin off, perhaps?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #49 on:** September 17, 2008, 08:51:43 PM »

New trailer with a mix of new and old footage, as well as some story background...I rather like the VA...
