Silent Hill

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Don't completely agree but that's at least a fair assessment. I thought Origins was "okay" and the other two were rubbish.
I should have said that even Origins is a cut above Homecoming and Downpour, Climax understood the series from the start better than any of the other western devs.

But what really dragged Origins down was being "the official prequel" when it doesn't really make sense, an issue that Shattered Memories wisely side steps by being a "reimagining" of the first game instead of the same supposed continuity.

Shattered Memories is the only western developed Silent Hill worth a crap, it's stupid that Climax wasn't allowed to make another one as they were really getting somewhere and understood the series better than any other western dev who was given a crack at it.
I will give credit to Shattered Memories for the best Western Silent Hill, but I will still give props to Origins. I really enjoyed what I played and the OST was great. Downpour was dogshit because a variety of reasons, but I at least respect the indie team given $5 by Konami to make a AAA horror game for releasing something. Homecoming is irredeemable trash.
 
I think a big problem is handing the series over to people that are fans of Silent Hill, because Silent Hill fans as a rule are autists that have spent so much time speculating over every grain of detail and soyfacing over "symbolism" and "artistic merit" that they've forgotten the first four games were, for horror, relatively subtle and reserved. Some of the creepiest imagery in the game is just out of clear view.

There are lots of blanks to fill in about the town's history and the nature of the cult, which people have spent 15 years speculating on. I've come to think the goal of the developers was misunderstood- you're not supposed to put together a puzzle and understand every little thing. Some things are meant to stay creepy mysteries or be the product of the protagonist's unwell mind.
Supposedly the game is about cyberbullying? If true, they should have made Chris-Chan the protagonist.
Then you get to the end and it turns out you were actually Clyde Cash the whole time.

There were some leaks from the guy on Twitter by the name Dusk Golem about new SH game. Possibly true, because Konami didn't slept on that and DMCA'd his post really fast. There's no much to it except alleged protagonist
Also it's probably outsourced to Santa Monica studio (GoW devs). Konami just can't do it themselves anymore. And if it's true, new Castlevania reveal should be next.

I really hate this kind of shit. The audience isn't stupid. There is no need to write on the characters body how fucked up they are. This is Silent Hill so we already no know the character has issues. She looks like a tumblr teen who did this to herself and is now posting photos on her tumblr full of teenage Angst.

This game isn't even out yet but it took only 1 leaked picture to show that it's going to be dog shit. I could be wrong tho but the chance is slim.

It’s from Dusk Golem. I thought we already knew that guy is a fraud.

So good news for you it’s most likely not true.

even The Last of Us 2 took a while before it became clear that it was going to be dog shit

One image is impressive, and all that image needed to be was an Amerimutt girl + Jared Leto's Joker-style shit on her face

The last thing this franchise needs is to be revived just to get some tranny game out that has no idea what Silent Hill actually was.
If it's really about Cyberbullying then yeah it's just stupid boring teen (& most likely woke) trash. This has absolutely nothing to do with Silent Hill. From Silent Hills to this. What a downgrade.

Despite his many issues, I don't think that would work. Chris is already used to squalid and disgusting environments, the puzzles would have to be really easy for him to solve them and any subtle symbolism or horror would be lost on him. The town would probably decide he's not worth the effort and spit him back out.

Do we have a page on him? Ive known sources that were proclaimed frauds in many circles and turned out to be legit.
 
Konami did take the pics down. So they more then likely have some truth to em.
There’s also the possibility that they just don’t want false rumors being spread about a game that doesn’t exist.

Not saying it can’t be Silent Hill, but there’s been more silent hill “leaks” than I can count with my fingers. People thought that Abandoned game was Silent Hill even though the one picture it had made it look more like Metal Gear if anything. So many fans of this franchise will grasp at straws to prove that it’s not 6-feet under yet.

People also forget that Silent Hill is fairly niche. There’s no reason for Konami to bring it back from a business perspective because it really isn’t a money-maker.

The prevailing word on the street is that Sony has bought the rights to use or own it from Konami and is giving it to Kojima to get back their money from Death stranding. Otherwise yes I would agree with you.

Konami turned from Silent Hill to The Last of Silent Hill is Strange. Another reason why I cannot stand Konami. Fuck this world we're living in.
The leaker says that's not the main focus of the game, also there's supposed to be 2 other games in development so one of them could turn out decent.

Oh god pls let it be true and not this ugly LIS cyberbullying teen drama horseshit. Hell, I liked the first LIS but it's not right for SILENT fucking HILL. It just doesn't fit.
