Survivial Horror Genre

edit

I think it is a sub genre of an action-adventure game. That is how I saw it listed in magazines and gaming sites. Yes, we have a lot of horror games but that doesn't make it a genre on it's own. Does it?--Cube b3 (talk) 03:11, 6 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

I think it's a genre, but... how is that relevant here? You may be looking for such a discussion over the List of video game genres. ~Mable (chat) 18:56, 6 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

See Video game genres for discussion on the difference between these two articles and their respective scopes. ~Maplestrip (chat) 13:42, 5 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

This reference is currently in use, but I think it might have more value in the studies section. It's rather technical, though. I might try to dig through it again later, but perhaps someone else has some ideas for what to do with it? ~Mable (chat) 12:52, 15 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

The result of the move request was: Speedily closed as nonsense. Nominator appears to believe that Game genre is the article title and wants to move it to Video game genre, where it already is.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  21:14, 11 July 2016 (UTC) NAC  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  21:14, 11 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Photo

Someone really likes Thunderbirds eh? The article photo is appropriate- it looks very much like the mind’s eye’s concept of a video game, while perhaps a little generic 2603:8000:CA02:9FD5:ED8D:C985:143E:47E8 (talk) 19:02, 16 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

It's the best I was able to find on Wikimedia Commons (so properly licensed) for something like a sci-fi-themed side-scrolling shoot-'em-up. I think it represents many concepts in the article quite clearly in one go, though the image feels a bit difficult to read too due to the odd shapes of the ships and the gunfire blending into the starry background. I'd be interested in seeing other options. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 07:07, 17 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
