It's going to be more than just the SH2 remake. There's some stuff about the other things being shown floating around on twitter, like the No Code game.

Lol you can tell it was a mistake because there is just like 10 minutes of waiting at the start of the video.

Yeah I’m not sure about a remake. Part of what makes it so haunting is how subdued it is. A remake in 2022 will be pressured to add all kinds of bombastic poo poo.

I hope we can just get a new collection of 1-4 (4 is good, shut up).

Edit: Bloober Team is doing it. There goes any expectations. lol

For what it's worth, next week's Signalis might be the most Silent Hill 2 game I've played in years, at least in terms of sheer surreality.

My piece on it went up on Bloody Disgusting yesterday and I'll have a review for it on there next week.

I'm upset. It looks nice, but you're right, I'm worried about them cranking everything up too much to the point where it loses it's impact.

I'm already imagining them adding way more Pyramid Head than what's necessary.

https://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3736935/signalis-and-the-oppressive-mechanics-of-survival-horror-hands-on-preview-interview/

There's a reference/reveal in the first 15 minutes or so that gives away a big part of Signalis's whole deal if you're a long-time horror fan, and I didn't want to spoil that in the piece. Some other previews out there already have, such as PC Gamer's, so the information is out there, but I got a lot out of that initial "oh... poo poo" realization and I think that's worth preserving.

Clarification: It's a Cthulhu Mythos game, but in a subtle way that requires slight familiarity with the setting/lore and does not feature any of the typical monsters or entities. If you do know that, then the game's storyline makes a certain degree of horrible sense; if you don't, it's going to feel like it's running primarily off dream logic.

More specific clarification: The first third of the game or so is set on an ice planet called "Leng" and it is exactly as bad there as you might think.

There's enough going on with Signalis that it'd be worth starting a spoilers-off thread specifically for it.

Do people in 2022 really still hate SH4? I haven't thought about Silent Hill in ages but The Room always had us dedicated fans, and once the non Team Silent games were coming out, more and more people were appreciating what they had lost. I myself just learned it was on GOG a couple months ago and snatched it up for nostalgia sake but I'm really feeling in an SH Mood as of late so maybe I'll play it after trying out this SH2 Enhanced Edition.

I don't want them to redo the voice-acting for 4 like they did for the HD Collection games.

it’s not doomerism to acknowledge that the team responsible for silent hill is gone, as are much of the industry attitudes that made it possible in the first place

Silent Hill 4 is half of a good game; I'm not against escorts but I think the second half takes a nosedive. I like a lot of the areas and The Room itself, though.

I have no faith that SH2 remake will be good since it's team bloob but I'll reserve judgement for the rest til we have more info than some CG trailers. F could be interesting just because of the author.

4 has a lot of very real issues, but I still think it's a cool game with neat ideas that still stick in my imagination.

Both of those things are true, yes. No two games usually have the exact same team. As to your later point, yeah the industry has moved on but I don't see how that means the new games can't be good

4 looks and sounds cool and has interesting ideas but is utterly loathsome to actually play. To this day I think it's the only SH game I've never finished.

I'm kind of optimistic about Townfall and F (aka Silent Hill Hinamizawa). I've always maintained that a movie based on 2 has the potential to be quite good but it definitely depends on the execution. I agree with Bobvids, it's a shame the movies already blew their load with Pyramid Head.

Just trying to keep my boyfriend away from that redheaded harlot.
I just happened to start playing 4 for the first time a couple days ago. I'm a couple hours in and the combat is horrible, but I'm interested in what's going on.

I also loaded up a bunch of other PS2 horror games. While clunky, I think PS2 had the some of the most creative swings at horror. I know ps1 graphics are "in" right now, but that was a meh era of horror.
