Well maybe not, but one can only dream. I’m excited for the game regardless, apparently Silent Hill is good again.
Devs are Scottish, and it seems like the game has a “small town in upheaval” theme. Can’t think of any Scottish small town grievances in the 90s except for the ones caused by the tories. We NEED MORE politics in video games
I’m honestly wondering if it’s a reference to the Dunblane Massacre, a horrific shooting done by a school coach that led to around a dozen or so deaths of primary school children.
Oh, Scots period horror stuff, that reminds me of Still Wakes The Deep
Also the main char is black . Hope its good :3
Eh, one good entry isn’t enough to convince me Silent Hill is good again. After Book of Memories my trust has been permanently broken.
I heard good things about Short Message and Silent Hill F, admittedly I didn’t play either.
2~ish good games in a row in relatively short period, remake of 2 (which I didn’t play) and Silent Hill f were excellent. f admittedly has some jank gameplay issues, but the story is top 3 of all time IMO (which is a heresy because how beloved 1,2,3 are). My hot take is that f is legit better than 1. Also Konami has adapted the outsourcing model, so each new Silent Hill game is made by completely different dev and we have to give them some kind of blank state. Judging by how hard f goes with its themes and how it makes chuds seethe seem like there’s no real restriction on the writing department.
Silent Hill 2 (the remake) was competent, but from an artistic standpoint I strongly dislike it. I lean pretty heavily towards disliking remakes, and in this case it was a chance to undercut a lot of what made the original game unique. I’m sure a lot of people had a good time with it, but that’s also true of like, Assassin’s Creed games.
Yeah the bar was on the floor after decades of trashfire (Book of Memories, Downpour, Homecoming, Ascension, and all the pachin-ko reels). I can’t comment on 2 remake because I have not played it, and I don’t feel the need to do so. Same with MGS Delta, seems like it is just a 1:1 remake outsourced to Eastern European devs without much creative input/freedom. f is the entry where I think Silent Hill is so back (especially its writing quality), and this upcoming game looks fairly promising.
