So are the people who made the first Silent Hill movie making this new one? I know there was another Silent Hill movie that was made but I never watched it and heard it wasn't very good, but I honestly enjoyed the first movie and if the same people are working on this new one then I'm totally down.

Yup! Ganz was the first movie, not the sequal.

We saw reveal trailers, which game do you mean and why do you think it's unrelated to Silent Hill?

The one set in 60s japan doesn't exactly scream Silent Hill to me.
It's a cool concept, and as I said it's probably the only way to get that project got made and maybe it'll be good, who knows

You're absolutely right, it is outside of the usual purview. Original team members had plans for taking the series other places, they felt there was a lot of untapped potential. The franchise is getting that chance and I'm pretty optimistic!

i think townfall is the only one that has any kind of SH vibes but i also think Konami doesn't feel confident about doing a proper mainline sequel and is just trying poo poo out

the result though is that i'm kind of disappointed. we traded in silent hills, which would have been a mainline sequel with a strong vision, with... a live service game, a game for ryukishi to just do his thing (congrats gaius), and an indie game that'll probably be very similar to stories untold (which i enjoyed, but, not really SH). also gently caress annapurna

it is what it is though, i just have to live with it

i remain a curmudgeon about the horror game industry and continue to await a game other than Soma that fucks me up (or at least is highly entertaining). i do need to play amnesia rebirth at least, i'll do that this month maybe

Why? They published wonderful games like Kentucky Route Zero, Stray, Neon White, Edith Finch etc. Not every game they do is for me but I like the games they give a shot. There's a controversy I assume?

yeah, there are multiple stories about them enabling abusive bosses in the workplaces of the studios they publish for, often ignoring employee outcry or telling them to suck it up, and in one case suggesting to one of the bosses that they could fire everyone and start a new studio with younger, more gullible employees fresh out of college

Started playing Silent Hill. Really cool opening and general atmosphere so far. Specifically the way it uses camera angles. The constrained nature of the controls versus how free wheeling the camera can be really drives up the paranoia in certain sections. All the off angles and ditch angles as well leave you feeling really uncertain and uncomfortable. Reminds me of the movie Possession, there's a scene early on where a man is meeting his estranged wife at a cafe, and instead of sitting across from her he sits kitty corner. Obviously because they literally aren't seeing eye to eye, but betraying the predicted actions of the viewer also leaves them feeling uneasy. And with that movie I actually had to pause it a few times because how discombobulated I felt, because nearly every scene was just shot so subtly off, people would sit on the edge of chairs, or stand in the "wrong" place, talk past each other, etc.

Gameplay wise it actually doesn't seem so bad. I've got quite a bit of ammo and the dogs and gargoyles are easy to dodge. My only real challenge has been trying to navigate. The game could've used a compass, not a Skyrim style one, but an actual one like thief so I could orientat myself without opening the map.
