The most haunting trailer ever...

I don't know, guys. Isn't this like the point of that whole video games as art bullshit thing that we all tend to side with? That video games can make us feel things? Can move us?

Just because it's uncomfortable doesn't make it bad. In fact, the ability to make it uncomfortable from just that little bit shows that the developers are good at manipulating emotions and might be capable of breathing new life into an over played genre by actually making it feel like horror instead of mowing down zombies with a gatling gun.

Edit: And Bells, that's not shock. Shock is the Dead Rising 2 bullshit. This is emotional manipulation. That they used a child to get past the ridiculous amount of desensitization in most people these days might be shocking, but that doesn't relegate the trailer to shock value.
