Author Topic: NEW SILENT HILL ANNOUNCED (Read 7649 times)

Dusk Golem is "reliable," in the sense that he's "predicted" Biohazard titles.

"A NEW BIOHAZARD IS COMING!!!! REMAKE OF 4!!!!!!!!!!"

It's like "no shit, it's Capcom's only money-maker that isn't Monster Hunter at this point after ruining other series. The sun goes up and down on the timeline of those." So take the Silent Hill one with a huge grain of salt.

Pyramid Head should not appear in any SH outside of 2 given its relation to James and yet they keep milking it exposing their creative bankruptcy.

3 does not have pyramid Head. Instead it had penis monsters.

Each SH should have unique monsters to represent the psyche of the character you're playing. Anything else is shit tier Silent Hill. I do not play these games for the gameplay. I play them for the story. Get it right or get out.

Off to a bad start. That's all I have to say about that.

Dead By Daylight is a survival horror game and this is a themed expansion for it - it's not a new Silent Hill.

Thanks. I thought Dead By Daylight was the games subtitle.

This is certainly easier to accept, than a Kojima silent hill.

Before Death Stranding I would have said that a Kojima made Silent Hill would have had good gameplay mechanics at least.

P.T. was super early, but you more or less just walked down a hallway.

Yes, but it's "concept" of horror is solid. We don't really know what SHills would've done for gameplay (it could've been a walking sim of Death Stranding, after all). But the concept was "solid" enough to where folks got spooked by it, and that's what really matters in a horror game.

Also P.T. spawned (though granted, Amnesia did it before it) first-person horror games, which a lot of indie (and AAA like Capcom) attempted to copy.

For reference, Dead by Daylight also has expansions with Michael Myers, Ghostfast, the Demogorgon, Ash [from Evil Dead], Leatherface, and Freddy Krueger.

We also had alien isolation being a few months from completion, Outlast, zombi all around the same time. If anything this was a trend in horror games already.

There's a bunch of specific indie games that were obvious P.T. copies i think, like Visage, Allison Road (never got finished

) and a couple of other similar "walk around this modern house with spooky scripted sounds".

Mr Gilhaney · « **Reply #22 on:** May 27, 2020, 09:31:57 AM »

For sure. But we already kind of had this going on with other games as pointed out, although with PT being cancelled and the hype for it, it obviously got some people to attempt to just copy it. But hell, even SH4 had (to a much smaller extend of course) first person weirdness whenever you were inside your apartment.

timu, do you know good indie horror games? Or small studio games. Or fan games. Just hidden gems where someone really put their heart into it. Preferably first person.

There's a new scene in indie horror of people make PSX polygon horror stuff that's insanely interesting stuff. I can't recall some project names off the type of my head but one really stuck out to me and I'll send it your way once I find it.

Some i remember being good from Itch.io.
Puppet Combo's stuff, Lost in Vivo (and its extra tapes), Boolean Escape, Midnight Shift, Chilla's Art stuff, SEPTEMBER 1999, Paratopic, Dead End Road, Anatomy.

Some are free, and last very little (like 10 minutes) but are still cool to experience.

New SH is happening my m8dude. I doubt there will be several announced or worked on at once, and honestly dont keep up with dusk golem or know much about him (other than some RE shit I slightly remember?) but it is happening. i can feel it in my heart. it is close.

I like to think Del Toro would have kept Silent Hills somewhat on the rails, at least not let Kojima totally kill the mood every 5 minutes.

a new SH announcement isn't enough because if you don't have some supremely talented people working on it there's no reason to get excited. there's more bland titles in the series than classics.

They got Keiichiro Toyama, Ito and Yamaoka. So already a far better starting point than those western studios that utterly failed.
We'll see how it's gonna work out.

Far mor interested like this than Kojima being involved.

I don't even know why DelToro was involved, tbh.
Granted i watched most of his movies, and only liked 3, but his style and Silent Hill's aren't really close.
And then people mention the creature design, which drives me nuts, it's not like he's a concept artist, he has people like Sergio Sandoval drawing up designs which he then approves.
It'd be like saying that George Lucas, instead of Ralph McQuarrie or Ian McCaig (or one of the other million artists involved), came up with Star Wars' visual designs/costumes/looks.
Ofc. that's the role of a director, put everything into place, but i'm saying his role within Silent Hills, when you already have such a strong personality like Kojima's, doing that, is lost on me.

Junji Ito's involvement made more sense from that point of view, since his expertise is more specialized, even though i don't see his style as very compatible either, his tone of horror is usually gross-out and comedic in nature, whereas Silent Hill at his peak is gross in a more abstract manner (and if you look up Masahiro Ito's personal work, even his Mecha artworks scream Silent Hill).
To me, it seems like Kojima is always after the biggest name he can get, like if Beksinski was still alive, he would've gotten him, probably.

Mr Gilhaney · « **Reply #46 on:** May 29, 2020, 08:18:33 AM »

Yeah Masahiro Ito now, not Junji Ito anymore, which wold be an amazing upgrade. That is what gets me somewhat positive. I fucking love all his shit, as you say, even his mech stuff is just silent hill as fuck, and great. I cant imagine that very distinctive style being easy to replicate, and for the love of God, something like Downpour was absolutely embarrassing when it came to creature design. Homecoming and Origin werent great either, but at least they tried to somewhat replicate the originals style. Downpour was just ripped straight out of Clive Barkers asshole.

God this is some of the ugliest shit I've ever seen. Would fit right into trash like dead space.

Akala · « **Reply #47 on:** May 29, 2020, 10:32:18 AM »

I don't necessarily think Del Toro fits the aesthetic 100%, but the man has both a very strong understanding of visual style and an encyclopedic knowledge of the genre.

I figured he'd also have the required chops to reign Kojima in a bit for stuff that doesn't quite work, but I forgot he was involved in Death Stranding so I guess I am wrong on this.

It comes from Dusk Golem and dude tends to go for massive reaches on what possible info he might have. Oh a team silent reunion AND Silent Hills AND more konami shit going sony exclusive? You for real my dude?

If any ends up true I hope for the Team Silent reunion, cause while PT was a fun enough tech demo that came out at the peak of streamers reacting to horror games culture I never once was interested in an insanely expositive Silent Hill desperate for an editor. I love Kojima's work and even like Death Stranding well enough in spite of and sometimes because of it's dumb shit, but he'd be a horrible fit for SH.

I'm not going to disparage a potentially-dozen-hour-experience based on a brief concept video. I'd even be hesitant to judge alpha and beta builds with actual code, which is why I'm more neutral on P.T.

Would it have failed? Maybe.

Is the universe better right now for Silent Hills having been cancelled? I don't think so.

We got 4 proper (?) Silent Hills.
We don't *need* another one.

If key members of the OG Team Silent want to do another one: Great, i'll be happy to play it, but otherwise it's not like we need one at any cost.
Especially since Silent Hill's quality rests entirely on the art direction, and the gameplay mechanics are completely forgettable, so the iterating element just isn't there.

Akala · « **Reply #56 on:** June 29, 2020, 09:42:04 AM »

It's the art/atmosphere that people really want. We want graphical iteration and one per new gen would probably be fine.

Not a ripoff, just the Dead by Daylight version.
