Fair enough, but I think you can admit that there is room enough in the world for both kinds of games. I'm a person who genuinely enjoys survival horror, and I think that video games in theory can be infinitely more scary than movies. Having a personal involvement with the safety of your onscreen avatar can make even the most mediocre survival horror game ten times scarier than a great horror movie (which is probably why the stories in Resident Evil have been pretty worthless).
I actually agree with the destructoid article that traditional survival horror games have disappeared (the last Silent Hill was actually very 'traditional' but it felt too much like a PS2 game with a heavy coat of polish).
We can't go back to those crummy controls and camera angles, because people won't stand for it anymore and they shouldn't. But now we just need to wait and see if the developers can figure out new and better ways to scare us. Which is why i'm looking forward to playing Dead Space soon.
