Silent Hill f

[CrowingJoe79]

We've had quite a wait for any update since the fall of 2022. But finally. It will all go down tonight.

Do you think "f" is linked to "The Short Message", due to the flower monster in the original trailer being similar to Sakura Head from the game, that we received in January of last year as a free download?

To clarify...

Does the 'F' stand for Fatal Frame?

They hinted that it means find. But I couldn't help but think that the game has little in common with past entries. 😑

With how they were talking about the ideas and so on and so forth, it was like the whole time, they just wanted to remind you of the essence being intact. Although to me, it felt like they were making a confession to sway away from saying, "This ain't truly a Silent Hill game. But we will feed you dialogue to say otherwise".

Like, "Hey. It may feel like you are in Silent Hill, as the atmosphere is all there and blah, blah. It is, however, set in Japan as opposed to the United States. So fans will obviously ask questions. We hope nonetheless, you will enjoy it".

It's just like Capcom and RE all over again. Putting the name there to market a game that looks and feels unaffiliated with what has occurred.

But hell. The game seems interesting in its own right, even if the correlation to the older titles isn't really there at all, from what I can observe on my own. And bugger off, typos. 😈

A typo had me lost in the fog. ☺️

Definitely reminds me more of Fatal Frame/Project Zero than Silent Hill; but it looks interesting nonetheless.

Still no actual gameplay footage though

The [new] Silent Hill games don't have nurses anymore. But I swear. When games stop having shades of what they were founded upon, it just doesn't feel right. But maybe the health drinks will still be included.

It's like when the Resident Evil games stopped having zombies. You could see it was moving into corny territory with the sh*t Capcom eventually chucked in. But even so, RE has somehow lasted this long as a franchise, with people praising the games highly to keep it atop the mountain. But I still fail to see what this game (a mainline game too, supposedly) has to do with 'Silent Hill' itself. So maybe call it by a different name then.  👀

Seeing as how it is not even set in Silent Hill, the game is just part of a shared universe, because Konami wants it that way. 🤤

Resident Evil has always been kind of corny though? The endgame usually ends up swerving into action-y setpieces with barely human looking atrocities, and the protagonists being armed to the freaking teeth with Grenade Launchers and such.

Also, who built that mansion? That's not a place that would exist, even to hide a secret laboratory.

And that's me ignoring the very entertaining voice work the first game has. Resident Evil has always had a bit of B-movie in it's DNA.
