From what im seeing, the game looks like a total disaster. From the Butchered translation, the story being about forced marriage, lesbian romance and the entire thing being IT WAS JUST A DREAM LOL
You were drugged by your childhood friend and it somehow gave you superpowers to genocide an entire village
Gonna get the popcorn ready.

Before you get your souls crushed and hearts broken again the new OD trailer confirms my suspicions that it is a PT successor. Beyond that it seems to be following an occult storyline similar to Silent Hill and even themes of the umbilical cord are represented by burning a baby shaped candle where string is on its umbilical cord region upon an altar and goblet. It looks way better than the initial leaks and gameplay footage. Looks like Kojima chose to keep it first person or it'll be more predominant as character POVs. I am hoping we experience a parallel storyline involving these multiple characters similar to SIREN or parts of REVII.
I feel like OD is likely what Kojima had in mind for PT. PT may have not had a cult but it had those occult elements in the form of radio broadcast hypnosis, a darker La Li Lu Le Lo from MGS. May have even had MKultra shit in it that tied back to a cult. It's probably a walking simulator sure but it's closer to Silent Hill(s) than we're going to get from any AAA company looks like. I'm glad that it's going to be supernatural and have odd rituals, a cult and an eerie town since SH fans criticized PT for showing too little (likely missing most of the fucking puzzles lol or watching a streamer who sped through the game while missing things that made PT a cool demo). I think PT showed plenty. Doesn't look as self indulgent as Death Stranding either or the early trailers. It looks like an actual fucking horror game which is better than I expected, the core Silent Hills themes included are the cherry on top. The last part reminds me of the way reality unraveled in the PT teaser cinematic with the fucked up creatures and ball.
EDIT: nevermind I saw UNREAL ENGINE at the end and not Decima it's actually fucking over unless Kojima is the first to make an actually optimized UE5 game (which does line up with the timeline of UE4 being shit then progressively getting better half a decade later only due to more talented programmers picking it up).

Yeah, just saw it too. Really good trailer in my opinion and I Want To Believe. The part where the worms start coming out of the candle immediately had me thinking PT successor.
Only a few obvious red flags:
- Unreal engine(!)
- Jordan Peele(!!)
- Trooner Shafer (!!!)

God bless no commentary walkthroughs. They're my reviews now. No spin, no sell, and no canned talking points that may or may not have been provided by the developer/publisher/PR team.

Culture war stuff aside... I find it a bit strange as someone who's a bit on the older side how much brief shots of underwear have been coomer-coded. Like I get nowadays there's a zillion dudes squeezing their meat to this shit but back in the day it felt so inconsequential to the point where I can't recall feeling any kind of sexual thoughts about it until animu started really playing it up by focusing on it.
Just an odd evolution of culture I guess. I can't really see myself getting worked up over seeing a few frames of a 1960s teenager's granny panties, but I guess we just kinda gotta assume the worst out of the current-day audience due to how ratings systems work.
EDIT: Also speaking of R07... I feel like he's gone all-in on gay since like 2019 with Ciconia. There were always smatterings of it in his earlier stuff but Ciconia and Higurashi Gou seem to really put a lot of focus on LGBT stuff as major plot points.

Coming into this as a R07 fan and only really having experience with SH2, I feel like they could have saved themselves a lot of headaches by just not using the Silent Hill name for this game.

Man. They really went all out in making sure their characters are not coombait. Fresh from /v/ btw.
If or when this game gets modded, I can expect that to change. That said though. There ain't no fixing this game's ending.
Honestly, this makes me want to replay Forbidden Siren since that game was made by ex-Silent Hill members, and its sequels are at the very least interesting. Most importantly, is a proper horror game as the game has you play a variety of characters. Ranging from people who can put monsters down easily to outright victims and have to sneak around.
There's even a Doomslayer ending with one of the characters actively hunting down the monsters by staying in the otherworld. Becomes a playable mode in the 2nd game.

The combat looks like dog shit. I always hated the lame excuse about how the main character isn't a fighter class so of course the combat is trash. Just an excuse to cover their ass because they made a game with shit mechanics. How about you make the game with a main character who knows how to fight so it doesn't suck to play? Also the teenager lesbian angle might have been edgy and applaud worthy like 20 plus years ago but now it's just annoying as fuck. Lgbt whatever people are severely overrepresented in media and gamers are over it.

Reminds of Ada Wong in the Resident Evil 4 remake where she had a knee length sweater dress over a turtleneck over spats over tights plus gloves.
The only skin you could see on her character model was her face.
Due to pressure from feminist groups like Collective Shout Western nations are cracking down hard on sexual content right now but at a certain point this just looks silly, outside of Muslim nations women generally do not wear five layers of clothing.

Fucking called it.
Ryukushi was always liberal, but his older works didn't have anything that'd you'd associate with modern progressive ideology. I don't think the whole blame should be put on R07, as someone called Motoi Nakamoto worked on the game and he was in-charge of the abomination that was Silent hill the short message.

It never stops bothering me that Stop Killing Games needed 1 mil+ signatures to even get Europe bureaucracy to start doing something to stop games being turned into disposable garbage meanwhile, all it took for Payment Processors was the shrieking of a literal minority to get them to mobilize against games, Nip games and H content. I'm certain they're just using the feminists as an excuse to push forward what they always wanted.
In short, the typical globohomo bullshit of catering towards leftoids while ignoring everyone else.
The Silent Hill games that have good combat is 5 and Origins. The latter giving you the option to punch monsters to death.

Modern democracy is fake. If the establishment doesn't want to do something they won't; if they do, they will. Voting at this point is just getting a teaser to what the government is already is planing rather than it being a choice.

"On this episode of Boundary Break..."
Poor baby Walter
I think localizers are a big part of the problem. Every time I see a localizer they're some form of leftoid, troon, or, Emily who warps the translation into what they want it to be.
Wait, the protagonist has a wolf arm, or the boss? I came here to see how f was since I forgot about it and I think this sentence sums it up
This reminds me of race and genderswapping in movies and TV. Honestly, I wouldn't give a shit if Hollywood-or in this instance game studios- wanted to make original stories about women and minorities. A psychological horror revolving around a young girl getting beaten by her father could be compelling, if done well. Unfortunately, it's never done well, but instead hamfisted with the most obvious political sloganeering down our throats that it feels more like being lectured at than subtly unconvering a story. And especially in the context of Silent Hill where we have cults and godlike murderers, this story ISN'T FUCKING SCARY

Is having a deadbeat alcoholic father woke now? The fact the bitch is a headcase just makes everything funny, even if that wasn't the author's intent.
Why do people keep repeating this? I'm literally watching someone play this shit and there's no lesbian shit anywhere.

r07 is just a coomer and he dresses up his fetish for yuri as progressive.
Anyway, I'm 3 and a half hours into SHf, i got past the first boss. I'm going into ts blind so from what I can tell
the narrative is presenting all of Hinako's friends as being imaginary really heavily with them just vanishing when she looks away or that scene where she doesn't let Shin pinch her establishing that maybe they can't physically interact. The scene where it's implied that Rin pushed Hinako down the stairs never directly shows Rin making contact either.
Besides Sakuko Higarashi being so weirdly similar to Satoko Higurashi, I haven't noticed any overt references to past r07 that couldn't just be tropes that apply to all similar settings.
There's a line about being "taken away" in one of the very early journal entries that make me think the original script said "onikakushi".
The old people worshiping the fox god and if you don't you're gonna get cursed is very Oyashiro-sama, but I feel like that's too generic for it to be a reference.
The "feminist" themes I see so far is just "wow it sure sucks being a tomboy during a time where gender norms are heavily enforced" but nothing groundbreaking. There's been references to arranged marriages leading to spousal abuse in notes and the main doll monster's journal entry is kind of on-the-nose about it's symbolism being a woman who was hurt by (society?) and wanting to hurt others the same way they were.
Mechanically, I can't for the life of me predict non-telegraphed attacks and i'm getting my shit kicked in on the reg. Also the pseudo-RPG elements are kind of a chore, primarily not being able to carry more than 8 different kinds of different flavors of "restores hp, stamina and/or sanity".
Also during the scarecrow puzzle, the hints are too vague to figure out if we're looking for the "I" in the notes or the subject. The first ones are ez with stuff like "I was betrayed" and you find the scarecrow with the sickle in its back, but the last one was something like "It's so tough to pretend to smile while looking at your disgusting face" so I look for the one that's not looking at another scarecrow and it's wrong. I look for a scarecrow that's wearing two faces, one smiling one not, that's wrong. I try the scarecrow with the most obscured face, that's wrong too. I literally solved this by brute forcing every option.

Saw all the endings, the “true” one is dumb. Many parts of the story aren’t explained at all but I guess the conclusion you’re supposed to come to is that it doesn’t matter. The game also expects you to frequently read the journal since it hides a bunch of background details in it that get updated as the story progresses.
Honestly, if they hadn’t tried tying it to Silent Hill, it’d be serviceable on its own. Nothing mind-blowing like critics are making it out to be but it does work as a Japanese horror game (albeit one with an unsubtle feminism theme). But a Silent Hill one? Absolutely not.
Another thing I wanted to note is that a lot of the game’s dickriders keep defending the shitty combat by claiming survival horror/Silent Hill has always had bad combat and that it’s bad by design. Like bitch, no. You can get away from a good chunk of fights in the classic SH games, meanwhile there are so many enemy encounters you can’t avoid in f that it’s insulting, especially in the last couple hours where there’s gauntlet after gauntlet. It also wasn’t needlessly complicated with mechanics like a sanity meter and all the other shit they added.

I was about to ask this myself, no idea where everyone’s getting it from because there’s zero lesbianism. If it’s about the word “partner” showing up a lot, that’s only used in regard to how Hinako and Shu, her guy friend, have called each other that since childhood based off a game they played. All romance or implied romance in the game is straight.
Fox arm but yes, the protag eventually gets one sutured on to her that can absorb the monsters’ souls to prevent them from reviving. Oh, and it can grow bigger. It’s as retarded as it sounds.

True, but irrelevant and misleading. Collective Shout is not a Christian organization and does not invoke Christianity in any way shape or form and is not successful due to Christianity whatsoever. It's explicitly a feminist organization that is staffed by a variety of feminists (who probably have strong disagreements on religious issues) and is focused on the feminist issue of stopping the sexualization of women.
