Given what was done with Ascension and The Short Message, I seriously doubt this next IP cash-in will even address the obvious question of why a Silent Hill game wouldn't be set in Silent Hill. I think the closest one of them came was blaming it all on migrating clouds of fart gas.
 
The Rebirth ending is so cool. I'm amazed we haven't seen an expansion on that. Sure it would have been wasted on all the shit Silent Hill we've gotten since the early 2000s, but it could be a plot in and of itself... to have a loved one brought back to life (with some predictable drawbacks) using the power of the town.
 
New f trailer
The more they show the worse it looks. The dub is awful and the dialogue sounds really stupid. I didn't have high hopes or anything but I was curious about it, though now I'm probably just going to watch a playthrough instead of getting it.

Or better yet, just play Fatal Frame 3. Basically the closest thing to Japanese Silent Hill besides maybe Siren.

I never liked the first movie and honestly I’m proud of that. SH fans deserve everything that happens to them. Gans dropped a dogshit flick with some fog machines and these finooks were glazing him like Kubrick, bragging “uh actually it was the 9th highest grossing video game adaptation!” ;)

Incredible. And of course they’ll line up for the new one, because in their heads this is still the best shot "games" have at being "movies.” Absolute lemmings.

Silent Hill 2 worked only because of its narrative root which was Crime & Punishment and the developers involved with the project. All team silent sequels did what they were supposed to do, be new experiences and new takes on the core of the series. Expansions, but not too excessive. Even 4 is undeniably SILENT HILL despite being made as a spin-off.
Even with 4 being a black sheep it accomplished far more as a sequel than most game franchises, it's no RE4 but it expanded the cult and the story of Walter (especially Bad ending route) is enthralling compared to the endless dogshit we have been served after Team Silent were disbanded.

No one seems to understand anything bout what made the series work or why it did, letalone how it worked. So you can have shit like Blooper team's Silent Hill 2 remake wear some of the skin and atmosphere of 2, looking way better than the HD collection; but it doesn't retain the soul or core of what made the original a landmark title. It alters things like Blue Creek into the otherworld, without understanding what made the level work wonderously, so now you can't even return to the prior apartments. The gameplay is watered down, yet stretched to 16 fucking hours.

Uhhh did Japan ever have a sexual revolution?

No. No they did not.

What you’re seeing now is just some sad PR grab by Konami devs who desperately want a headline. Don’t get me wrong, if I ever had a daughter I would 100% rather raise her in Japan. But Silent Hill is about as feminist as I Spit on Your Grave was feminist. Which is to say: there are women in it. It's not shaking the foundations of society.

You don't hate zog media enough. Where is Yamaguchi with his commie-killing blade when you need him?

I wonder which HollyHacks they'll get for it? Revelation had a decrepit Malcom McDowell (who usually needs some poor semitic sex slave to be forced to do a nude bath scene with his wrinkly ass in order to be motivated to come out of the crypt) and an over-the-hill Sean Bean.
 
I just wrote about this in the Metal Gear thread and how Konami is woke and you shouldn't give them money. I find it hilarious, can't wait for the excuses kiwifarmers make to justify buying this game.

If at this point you still expect non-woke games from big game studios, you ngmi.

Konami is a terrible company and you shouldn't give them money, being woke is the least of their problems.

I haven't read the article, but It's pc gamer so i'd take it with a grain of salt. Edit; I've got back from reading it, the article seems to derive it's title from this excerpt supposedly said by Motoi Okamoto, who apparently worked on and co-wrote that really shitty silent hill what ever the fuck this is game that came out a year back. My hope for this game has sunken even lower than before. Given the games he's worked on it could be another Jap who drank the kool-aid along with daisuke(RIP) and that visual novel developer guy who's name eludes me.

"Hinako is an individual who's gone through a lot of repression, so there are a lot of things that are applying pressure to her. This is the source of many of her internal conflicts. The focus that we place on the story, and for Hinako, is how she musters the courage to combat that repression." But Silent Hill f does switch Hinako's story up a bit by turning back the clock. "The reason why we arrived at the 1960s is because this is an era that represents female repression in Japanese society," Okamoto says. "The 1960s were a time when this type of repression was prevalent, but it is also one of the hallmark eras in Japanese history for women's rights movements."

Modern Konami's attempts at getting back into the game industy are pathetic. They fired and kicked out everyone who's worth a damn almost 20 years ago. All these attempts to get back in are just outsourcing their licenses to rando's who ask. They have no real talent left and all these companies don't really care about these franchises, they just want to use the name recognition as a spring board for their own career.

4’s biggest problem is it’s questionable level design, particularly the game forcing you to go through the same levels twice for some reason. Other than that the game is scary as hell, possibly the scariest in the series, and the story is debatably the best as well. At the very least in terms of the games that focus on the cult. Silent Hill 2 is still up there in writing.
