The biggest horror aspect for me (also from the original) was that (rot13) nal aba-uhzna vagryyvtrapr unf ab punapr. Aba-uhzna vagryyvtrag yvsr trgf znqr vagb pbzchgebavhz, gb srrq gur rire tebjvat cbal fcurer. Vg vf gur gbgny trabpvqr bs rirel aba-uhzna enpr.
(rot13) Nyvraf ner rvgure cbavsvrq be abg qrcraqvat ba jurgure fur erpbtavmrf gurz nf uhzna.

That doesn't sound too terrible. There aren't that many aliens compared to ponies.
That sounds suspiciously like Mass Effect, in which the Reapers ner gur erfhyg bs n HSNV gung qrpvqrq gb znvagnva gur tnynkl naq fbyir gur ceboyrz bs (uhzna-yriry uhzna-yvxr) ebobg eroryyvbaf fhpu nf gur Trgu ol trabpvqvat nyy fcnprsnevat pvivyvmngvbaf rire 50X lrnef naq gura tebjvat vgf ahzoref ol hcybnqvat naq punatvat gur hgvyvgl shapgvbaf bs gur ivpgvzf, gura znxvat gurz vagb arj havgf.
If that's the case, then I stand by my original point, if not to its extreme conclusion.
That wasn't true in the original either. Many aba-uhznaf enprf got hcybnqrq.
Ah- I read the preview version, I think that bit was added later. Thanks :)
