Konami, with the help of Tomm Hulett, has been ruining Silent Hill
Resident Evil turned into a series of bland action games with grotesque monsters
Project Zero (Or Fatal Frame if you're American) hasn't had a main series game outside of Japan since 2005, and nothing since 2008 in Japan
Alone in the Dark was murdered and no one gave a fuck
the list goes on and on...
But then some good things have been happening. ZombieU came out on the WiiU, which I have yet to play, and while it doesn't look particularly scary, it looks plenty survivaly and with permadeath hanging over you I imagine it would keep you at least somewhat on edge.
On top of that, we have Tomm Hulett leaving Konami, so he's not going to be making any more fucking awful Silent Hill games, so maybe the next person to step up will breathe some life back into things.
Then I came across this article on IGN!
http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/31/resident-evil-will-return-to-its-roots
Which is basically a big article of Masachika Kawata saying that Resident Evil needs to go back and stop sucking ass, read it.
Well, nothing concrete has happened yet, but these are good signs if you ask me. In the meantime we have the Amnesia sequel to look forward too, so maybe after that we can get decent horror games once again
