In this piece I want to talk about how much I think that the gore and violence has risen since last gen consoles and how the developers and pushing the boundaries.

As you all should know there wasn’t much violence or horror back in the day of the Sony Playstation the closest I got to a proper horror that made you jump was Resident Evil and Silent Hill but looking back compared to Condemned (what I’m playing at the moment) which is very scary compared to Resident Evil but that could be me.
I know there are now loads of survival horrors but when I had my Sony Playstation and I had Resident Evil Two I was only 7-8 years old and remember being scared by it but if you go back and play it now it doesn’t seem that scary but if I was to play Condemned when I was 7-8 my god I would probably run away crying.
Another thing is how much the violence and gore have gone up drastically and how they have got away with it, I’m not saying that’s a bad thing but I’m sure if they keep making Survival Horrors there will always be gamers who will buy them for the rush. In my eyes I am not a big fan of survival horrors but I will play through them for the rush.
