One of these days I'd like to see a survival horror game with no supernatural elements whatsoever, just to see if it can be done right. That means: no zombies, whether reanimated through science or magic; no freaky hallucinatory inner demons manifested in the real world; no ghosts; no aliens; no possessed people. The closest I've ever seen has got to be Manhunt, and maybe Condemned (if you count the mannequins part as being strictly in the main dude's head).

I don't see how it's impossible to make a survival horror game with no supernatural elements right. Just make a game about some poor sap walking down a dark alley and then running away from muggers.

Or a game where it's the apocalypse and you're trying to survive in a world where everybody will stoop to anything just to stay alive. A human version of survival of the fittest.

...nah, it'd either hit too close to home or be too much like Manhunt.
You didn't say wot wot.

Well, hitting close to home is sort of the point. I was imagining a war game that starts off like usual (You riding in on a helicopter and kicking everything's ass), but the mission goes fubar and your squad is stranded behind enemy lines, probably with only you and one other guy surviving. The intro sequence would basically be Saving Private Ryan's D-Day scene is first-person, but way worse. Maybe the player would get horribly injured in some way (losing a finger or eye or some such) and stay that way the rest of the game.

Sounds horrific to me.

Don't use real life to avoid videogames, it is not healthy to escape from problems.

That'd make a good experimental indie game.

Dood!

I'm most excited because "Desperate Struggle" is the second awesomest title for a game ever, behind "Raw Danger".

Yeah, Mirror's Edge got kicked out of my Most Anticipated Game spot so hard I think the glass broke.

"Desperate Struggle" makes me think it should be on DS. Not that it makes me think it actually should or anything.
That was a joke.

I've never been so excited about a super hero game before, I might actually buy this.

Whoa, hadn't seen that particular trailer.

Could go either way, but the midair stuff looks awesome.

I'm not buying day one, but will if enough people I trust rave about it.

That looks amazing.  Not because of the graphics or gameplay, but because Venom/Symbiotes are finally getting the spotlight.  Hopefully the Wii version won't suck too badly.

1. Finally getting SM64
2. Dakar 2
3. My (really dumb) map in Halo 3. Basically, you hit the coil thingies and...well, you explode so far that you eventually can't see yourself.

Resident Evil 4 is pretty close. Even though pretty much most of the game has you fighting possessed people.
