Resident Evil 4 isn't a "pure survival horror" game.
If this is a Resident evil 4 caliber action title I'm all in and don't give a shit about the imagery.
but I mean if it's something with minimal combat/gameplay and focuses more on being a haunted house than a video game, I'm not sure I'm with everyone who's already heralding this as a return to form for the horror genre based on the art alone. because it doesn't look like anything we haven't seen before.
Hmm, OK, I can see where you're coming from, I think.
Me personally, I'm just excited to deal with these monsters in the context of what will hopefully be an immaculately paced journey like RE4. The monsters are memorable so far, the atmosphere is there, and frankly, even if some of this stuff echoes movies, it's always scarier in a game where
you have to turn that corner, and
you have to go down the stairs into the basement with the flickering light, etc. No covering your eyes when your hands are holding a controller, lol.
Also, just look at that spider-woman screen posted above, with both the monster -and- our hero silhouetted in the dark. You just know that shit's going to be a harrowing and unforgettable experience.
