>silent hill but japan
you faggots actually
excited for this shit?

It might be good, but it won’t look or feel like a Silent Hill game.

>You excited for a game that looks really good so far... and you get to play as a Jap tight as fuck teen
lmfao.....?? Oh shit maybe OP is retarded faggot and actually is serious?

>>712961872 (OP)
I've never played Silent Hill but will get this one because of sexy schoolgirl

>>712961872 (OP)
I am. But this is /v/, so you're not allowed to be excited for any games.

>>712962026
The gameplay looks terrible and the devs described it as an action game.

>>712961872 (OP)
I think it could be good. I'm sure it will be better than SH2R.

>>712961872 (OP)
Anon, Silent Hill games were developed in Japan...

>>712961872 (OP)
>health bar

dropped

i wonder how they will connect it to Silent Hill
>the Japanese town is also called Silent Hill

>>712961872 (OP)
Not only that but
>protagonist is a schoolgirl
Faggot dev can't even come up with a unique protagonist for a Japanese setting and went for the most regurgitated otaku slop possible.

>>712964158
If you ever want to be taken serious, you need to stop using words like slop, woke, dei, libtard, brainrot, etc. Okay sweaty? Thanks.

>>712963365
wait until bro actually plays a sh game and finds out the town is irrelevant outside of being where it all started
how it's going to tie in to alessa though, yea it won't it's just gonna be more non canon garbage, unless it's a soft reboot where she has the same powers as alessa, then i'll call it kino

>>712961872 (OP)
No, not really

>>712961872 (OP)
>Silent Hill is fun
>a change of scenery will be cool to see what they do with it
Why did you frame it like either of those things are bad? I guess it has to do with this >>712963214 . The eternal /v/ brain

>>712963365
Perhaps there was more than one town of Silent Hill.
Several Silent Hills, even.

yes, massively.

>>712961872 (OP)
At least it's an actual new game over another remake.

>Half-Life but some slavic shithole
Yet no one in the '00s would've complained about the setting. Zoomoids don't know how to make threads without framing them as a complaint.

>>712963365
There will probably be some time/warp bullshit that has you briefly visiting Silent Hill.
Honestly would be funny if they never mention Silent Hill once, though. I doubt this was intended to be a Silent Hill game at inception.

>>712961872 (OP)
kinda

>>712961872 (OP)
Japanese franchise dipshit

>>712964412
wtf are you actually stupid? Silent Hill is entirely about the town.
Also use proper English you coward nword

>>712963365
>>712964625
The Silent Hill curse was spread globally thanks to covid

>>712961872 (OP)
I don’t know about “excited”, but I’ll play it. As others have mentioned, it doesn’t look like Silent Hill at all, but the atmosphere still looks decent.

>>712961872 (OP)
>Attractive Japanese female MC
I will now buy your game.

>>712964976
Not the setting fucko.

>>712965174
issue is this game is set in the 60s

>>712963365
Shirento Hīrru

>>712961872 (OP)
It might be a good game but I don't think anyone consider this as a Silent Hill game

>>712965272
>he doesn't know about proto covid

>>712965010
no it isn't, play the games, half of the 3rd game, and the entirety of the 4th game aren't even in silent hill because the town is irrelevant, half of homecoming also isn't in the town but noncanon so w/e

>>712961872 (OP)
only if the witches show up

>>712961872 (OP)
Nope

So i googled supposed two claims.
The town is called Ebisugaoka.
Which means Warrior's Hill or God's Hill or Silent Hill.
Some people thought the town was called Shizuoka literally Silent Hill, but this might have been jp fans trolling

>>712965620
the 4th game is the one that spells it out that the location is cursed from native american graves you ginormous dumb

I haven't been excited for a video game since 2010.

>>712961872 (OP)
Apparently people is pissed off that Silent Hill is a japanese town conveniently forgetting that Silent Hill itself is a "eldritch location" that morphs itself in accordance to its current "main target" so it turning itself into japanese town because the main target this time is a japanese girl makes perfect sense.

>>712963365
cursed item was exported and connected to the cult that leads into Silent Hill.

>>712965620
2 of the 5 worlds you go to in SH4 are in Silent Hill, stop parroting shit you saw in a youtube video.

>>712965813
no, that's the 2nd game, and that's not even what the 2nd game was saying the 2nd game creates a retcon that the town had a spiritual power and the implication is it was warped by the events of sh1, the 4th game takes place entirely within a pocket dimension in the mind of the mummified body of the villain in your walls

>>712965982
they aren't, they're a pocket dimension other real humans are dragged in to, i've played the games dozens of times

>>712961872 (OP)
The ones that mad about this shit are the SH2fags as per usual.

>>712966041
no its the 4th game
>the rest of your post
jfc meds, you brain addled shitposting retard.

>>712966041
Oh, then you should really have grasped that the reason Jasper's fucking car was in the nightmare forest was because he drove to the actual forest surrounding Silent Hill and got sucked in THERE and not anywhere near the apartment.
You fucking retard.

I wonder what ryukishi would name the game if they don't need to pretend to be a silent hill game. X no Y ni

>>712961872 (OP)
not excited for shizuka yama mura?

im excited for the nude mods

>>712966125
it's the 2nd game that establishes the spiritual power of the native americans, the 4th game has tangential references to it but it has way more references to occult rituals and the fact that everything that's occuring currently is a direct result of a 2nd ritual walter is performing

>>712966167
you, the player, never go to silent hill in sh4, you go in to walter's mind, how you think the town has any bearing on the fact that walter's doing a ritual dahlia taught him, idk


like, sh1 and 3 clearly establish it's just alessa's power lmao idk how you can say anything else, the series is about reality and unreality being able to intersect under the right circumstances and that circumstance is a power like alessa's that can give form to any thought, the town is secondary

>>712961872 (OP)
>>silent hill but japan
>you faggots actually

>>712964158
>>protagonist is a schoolgirl

It will never be as good as Fatal Frame but I appreciate the attempts to copy a much better horror franchise.

>>712961872 (OP)
Silent Hill hasnt had a good game since 4 so Im not really excited until it proves me otherwise

>>712963365
The main character is Alessa's biological mother.
Dahlia is described as being a "miko" in the cult.
We see two mikos in the trailers.
The game is set in the late 60s, Alessa was born in the late 60s.
SH1 is set in the mid 70s.
Alessa is mentally ill with jet-black straight hair, thus supporting the hapa theory.

>b-but muh Alex's Diary
Not canon.

>>712966426
>you, the player, never go to silent hill in sh4, you go in to walter's mind, how you think the town has any bearing on the fact that walter's doing a ritual dahlia taught him, idk
You go to the nightmare version which overlaps the real place, that's why you travel through an infinite magic tunnel to get here and you don't just go through a door


>like, sh1 and 3 clearly establish it's just alessa's power lmao idk how you can say anything else, the series is about reality and unreality being able to intersect under the right circumstances and that circumstance is a power like alessa's that can give form to any thought, the town is secondary
Everything that happens in 4 is because Walter has become essentially MORE powerful than Alessa and can enact the nightmare version of anywhere he wants upon the regular version

Once again, retard.
Cynthia goes to the actual physical subway and ends up in the nightmare version. Jasper goes to the actual woods outside of Silent Hill and ends up in the nightmare version. Henry meets them there, because he has been transported, uniquely, via the tunnel in the apartment, which isn the nexus for all these locations that are significant to Walter, such places within Silent Hill, which you go to.
Just like in every other game, where if Harry is in the regular school, and it turns into the nightmare school, he's still literally in the same place.

>>712966426
How can you play the SH series and not realising the entire point is the TOWN IS CURSED
Thats why all the games are different. It manifests a personal hell for everyone. Even the npcs in game experience their own perspective of it.
The town gave Alessa power

>>712966657
>The town gave Alessa power
No it didn't, she was just a psychic kid. That's why she was chosen as the vessel.

>soulslike
lmao

>>712966646
their literal bodies aren't in the pocket dimension, it's only their minds being dragged in, sh4 is an outlier in that on the whole reality doesn't feel the effects of walter's ritual until it's fully completed

>>712966657
you should actually play the games, alessa was psychic before any ritual, dahlia realized her power and decided to use her to birth a demon
this is why heather can manifest nightmares in portland when claudia triggers her

I don’t understand the hate boner. Horror as a genre thrives when it’s anthological. Take a look at the sorry state resident evil is in. We should’ve been explaining a new setting, with new characters, completely unrelated to anything that came before beyond the gameplay since resident evil 3.

>>712966657
SH lore expert here.
SH1 and 3 lore is:
This is all Alessa's doing, she is a vessel to the demons that the cult worships.
She was chosen as a vessel because she is psychic.
This is why the monsters were unrelated to Cheryl or Harry or Cybil or Kaufman or anyone.
They were Alessa's fears, anxiety, likes and dislikes being twisted by her psychic ability and pain + being a vessel for a demon.
Heather has GOD in her womb so she can manifest shit regardless of where she is.

SH2 lore is:
ACHTUALLY we watched Poltergeist so this time the town was built on ancient native american burial grounds so it manifests different things for different people and sometimes they share the hallucinations but most of the times they don't.

SH4, who gives a shit?

>>712966852
>their literal bodies aren't in the pocket dimension, it's only their minds being dragged in,
Yes they are, that's the other protagonists also have moments where they black out in one place and wake up somewhere else. They are teleported.
>sh4 is an outlier in that on the whole reality doesn't feel the effects of walter's ritual until it's fully completed
It's not an outlier at all. There's a full explanation for why Walter has been able to become an evil invincible necromancer and it does not conflict with anything in the past games, particular not the third one where Heather demonstrates her own powers more than once, along with all the shit Alessa was able to do in the background.
This is a series with magic spells and super villains.

>>712967072
>Yes they are
they aren't, you can see this objectively by looking in to braintree's apartment during apartment world

>>712967152
notice you can't see him there anymore when he's dead

>>712967152
>>712967330
Wait, I forgot what we were even arguing about.
Richard is in his apartment because he's in the Apartment world, just like Jasper is in the fucking woods, not the apartment.

>>712966804
>>712966852
If you are too dumb to understand its the town that gave people powers not the other way around you probably should stick with mario

>>712967481
Except Walter got his powers from killing people almost entirely outside of Silent Hill.

>>712967481
That's retcon from non-canon games.

>>712967556
no it isnt
>another fandom overrun with people that think their headcanon is canon
so tiring

>>712967607
The only canon games are the first four and Walter learns of the sacraments, which is just a ritual, not specific to Silent Hill, he could moved to Australia and done all the murders and still become a magic death god, just as Alessa was independently psychic, thus making her a good choice for the ritual

>>712967697
The entire series from the start has been about a cursed town. The first idiot itt tried to claim it isn't a cursed town.

>>712961872 (OP)
No. She's ugly. But it the combat is good I'll get it. SH1 and SH3 are good combat horror games. SH2 fags are shit.

>>712967330
yea because emts take his body away after he dies in his sleep and has numbers carved in him

>>712967881
you're wrong, play the games

>>712966804
the town literally manifests enemies according to her phobia.
She never had any powers.
Same with all the other characters, enemies are their own fears,

>>712967978
yes, and notice how there's no paramedics who find jasper or the fat guy anywhere near the apartments, because their bodies are in silent hill somewhere

>>712966610
So... who is Alessa's father?

>>712967982
>the town literally manifests enemies according to her phobia.
the town didn't do that until got burned to shit and her independent powers opened up a rift in reality
You'll notice that Cybil talks about Silent Hill like it's a weird town, like a place where most of the people are snorting the local flower or involved in a religious cult, not like a nightmare zone full of monsters

>>712967982
no, she's manifesting them, and they're not her phobias, they're monsters she drew as a kid which canonically she just thought were cool

>>712968032
and their literal bodies aren't in the nightmare pocket dimension of walter's subconscious, bro i swear if you play the game again with this context in mind you'll realize what i'm saying

anyways the original point i made, that i don't know why you even disagreed with me because you actually do seem to agree with my statement on the whole even if you differ on the particulars, is that being in the town isn't integral to the story, as multiple games aren't in the town

>>712967978
be honest you havent played a single SH game in your life
You just read about it online

>>712968140
jfc you are just lying and making shit up now.

>Alessa had multiple fears; she was frightened by large dogs (cynophobia), insects (entomophobia), worms (vermiphobia), snakes (ophidiophobia), fire (pyrophobia), and even some adults (anthropophobia or anthrophobia). Many of the monsters in Silent Hill are manifestations of these horrors

>>712961872 (OP)
>what if silent hill but fatal frame
I see nothing wrong with it

>>712961872 (OP)
What a dumb question, yes.

>>712968139
rumours of Silent Hill having monsters predate Alessa

>is that being in the town isn't integral to the story, as multiple games aren't in the town
but your examples for "multiple games" are both games that feature silent hill as a location you visit
The town is way more key to SH4's overall story than it is to 3's, SH3 could've been set entirely in the mall and everything could've still happened the same way, Claudia just wanted to run out the clock on Heather's eventual possession

>>712968163
i've played them all dozens of times because i actually enjoy the gameplay and i like the ng+ items, bro's thinking i'm just whipping replies up instantly by chatgpting it

>>712968223
bro she literally collected bugs and drew pictures of monsters that heather says alessa thought were cool, you're not debating me you're debating heather

>>712961872 (OP)

>>712968302
Yeah that anon is just weird. Also the idea the town cant project its power outside it and have influence outside it, is just arbitrary headcanon.
Since in multiple games they ran with that idea

Siren?

>>712961872 (OP)
the problem with being locked into a single location for a franchise is that the town has to get bigger for each game. by you get to homecoming silent hill has like five hospitals and two insane asylums.

>>712961872 (OP)
My main gripe with it is not even that it's set in Japan, it's the lack of industrial rust and decay. Where is the metal grating? Old Japanese village and roots is generic Japanese horror, not Silent Hill.

>>712968117
>So... who is Alessa's fa-ACK

>>712965975
I like the idea a Japanese tourist may have brought back a cursed souvenir to Japan from Silent Hill.

thats good, SH has always had terrible gameplay

>>712961872 (OP)
Anyone who got excited from this soilent hill is eternal soiboy, there I said it.
Wanna now why they are making new silent hill after selling this franchise to sovlless western team? Because they need money. They need money and they lack the creativity to produce a new IP that are actually good, so they choose t9 retreat to their old IP and decided to get money from consoomer soiboys who loves to nostalgiapandering like a retard. It works with resident evl and final fantasy before, so lets make another one this silent hill, and they did, and soiboys are unironically excited about it

I never thought I'd ever see a fellow SH fan who actually understands the lore of the OG games. I like you, anon. You are doing god's work in this thread. Please feel free to keep explaining the real lore. Reading your posts has been very enjoyable. Forgive the retarded newfags for they know not what they do. With all your knowledge you could create general threads or charts in order to teach them what is the REAL Silent Hill. The one created and envisioned by Team Silent. Not those outsourced western fanfics.

>>712967881
No, it's about a Satanic cult that moved to America and basically took control over a small resort town, blending into the population to the point they're only known as a "queer religion."

The creator of the setting said it in no uncertain terms - they're not worshipping some eldritch god or some mysterious power - they're Satanists.

>>712973538
Thats completely false

>>712973538
I thought it was an indiginous american religion that a sect christian immigrants adopted and changed the names of dieties. No?

>>712973638
Basically yeah, theres always been a cult there in one way or another.
The cult we see in game isnt the first cult. It goes back to the civil war and earlier.

They are nothing like Satanists, they are a strange mix of Mesoamerican and Judeo-Christian stuff. Also alchemy lore like Solomon's magic.

Is Origins worth playing and do any of you consider it canon?

>>712961872 (OP)
Horror fans are not exactly spoilt for choice. Also perfect Fall game.

>>712973735
>>712973638
No, all the Mesoamerican elements, just like all the Christian ones, are simply a cover for the fact they just worship demons.

SH3 hits you over the head with it, that the cult uses deception even when it comes to their aesthetics and teachings, how can you not get it?

>>712974372
its a made up religion but all the symbolism isnt satanic and the demons are called angels?

>>712965763
Shizuoka also meant "Silent Hill" in Japanese.
But it's unlikely to be the place since Shizuoka is a major city and capital of a province

>>712977079
Apparently Ebisu is a god of fishermen. Contained in the word is the symbol for silence

>>712977632
>god of fishermen
Finally going back to our roots, huh? The entire Silent Hill town is basically Innsmouth without naming Lovecraft.

>>712977079
>posts pic of modern day cyberpunk Shizuoka
Come on. The game is set in the 60s. Shizuoka was probably way smaller back in the day.

>>712978338
What was the name of Lovecraft's cat again?

Fisherman explains the fog. Also tentacles. we are getting schoolgirls and tentacles. Ive seen them.

I wanna but I'm torn because I think the monster design is shit. Looks like every other horror game and there being mannequins makes no sense even if they put a sailor style school uniform on them.

>>712979876
but kabuki doll theatre?

i think i cracked the story
The Fisherman is a local god and the protag will be his wife, like the painting The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife
Shes gonna get tentacle raped basically

Eileen shaving

>>712968241
Can we now get a fatal frame in silent hill?

>>712980023
Since the rest of the monster design feels uninspired I heavily doubt the connection goes beyond "mannequin but japan". But we have to see if it's just putting pyramid head on the millenium falcon to make the audience go memberclappity

>>712961872 (OP)
lol /v/ shits it's pants the second there's a female protag, so ofc they're excited for this

They ignored him cause he spoke the truth.
These devs are ASS, and have a terrible track record much worse than Bloober had

The haunted town thats gets around

>>712980574
But since it's a silent hill game I kinda want a reason for that that goes beyond "it's sairento hirroru and we need puppets" . Sure later games were alrdy shit doing this because they needed the memberberries but to be silent hill it at least needs to be tied to some occult summoning gone horribly wrong or something that gives hints about the mc.
>>712980603
Cicada head?

>>712978624
1964 Shizuoka is already a major city.
Here's their train station.
But Shizuoka is also the name of it's province so maybe one of the satellite town

>>712961872 (OP)
Nope, and I will never forgive that nigger Kojima for ""restoring interest"" in this series by shitting out that hallway walking simulator which also ruined horror games at the same time

yeah, great style, great authors, lore obsessed fags need to fuck off, if they don't understand that silent hill is a metaphysical place of the mind created by remorse they don't get silent hill as a series at all.

>they don't get silent hill as a series at all
This is like when the Mother 3 schizo starts pretending with itself that everyone else is a schizo

Japanese horror is overrated.

>>712963365
your silent hill 4, desu?

In fact, any asian horror in general = not scary. There i said it. It's not just the Japanese either.

>>712982713
i'm sorry but subhumans who don't have analytical skills that goes beyond what they see happening and what is described should stick to fictions for five years old

>>712982856
why would a Japanese girl in 1950 whatever fear western symbols of horror from the future

>>712983038
Right, so why are you here and not sticking to those materials since you are clearly retarded?
>fictions
and ESL

>>712983102
lore obsessed fags like you only understand whats obvious, and yes i'm esl, that's why i'm not braindead for being overexposed to handholding shit where everything must be explained over and over as you are

>calls understanding the games 'lorefagging'
>having a melty
Yep, only retards would buy this shit

>>712983049
why would entire shit called Silent Hill in the first place? Might as well place the game in ancient Egypt and fight mummies and call it Silent Hill North Africa

>>712983727
>why would entire shit called Silent Hill in the first place?
ESL packed thread also, because implied revenue

>>712983823
anglo americans are really the cancer of the world

>>712983727
>place the game in ancient Egypt and fight mummies and call it Silent Hill North Africa
This unironically would work and look much better than yet another japanese horror crap set in japan.
SH creatures already look close enough to egyptian mummies/monsters, so it would work

>>712961872 (OP)
I don't think anyone is excited for it.

>>712961872 (OP)
Reflecting on entire Ryukishi work like Higurashi or Umineko, I noticed it was only impressive when you were 15-19 but after all the dust had settled, he really always was looking for excuse to write about loli's and witches and his story characters and endings didn't make much sense. I can tell the plotline is going to be dogshit, but at least one loli will appear

Not really. Original Silent Hill games were relateable because you played as a person in modern times going through an environment that may be familiar (smaller american towns), but completely warped and desolate. Its aesthetic was western, but with Japanese horror influence. Meanwhile, Silent Hill F is not relateable in the slightest. Different time, most Silent Hill fans are not Japanese, and it's a Japanese aesthetic entirely.

All of that to say it just isn't exciting or interesting. Maybe I'll be wrong, and I'm sure it will be scary regardless, but still.

>>712982779
One of my favourite horror movies of all time is the Japanese film Hypnosis. Its really scary.
Its like Ring if it was scary.

>>712961872 (OP)
S

I've been playing SH2 and it's honestly pretty boring. Is SH3 more fun?

>>712985560
They are all boring in the sense they are bad "games" they are enjoyed for the aesthetic and atmosphere.
SH3 i remember being hilariously easy, you can basically walk through the whole game without killing anything and save all your ammo for bosses.

>>712967063
Imo silent hill takes the spiritual and occultic view that existence is an illusion. Everyone is essentially in their own universe, as Crowley says
>every man and woman is a star
And that the ‘real world’ is just a state of mind where everyone can agree less or so what’s observable, so there is no real ‘real world’ just different states of observation. Those lost in the fog are in such an extremely different state of mind to everyone else that they are not observable as a part of most people’s reality, however you can totally observe the ‘real world’ and people in fog world at the same time if you have the correct mindset. What I mean is, it may be possible that the Silent Hill Dahlia or Leonard saw have been the ‘normal’ one but they were in such a psychic state that they could observe the heroes of their games as part of reality. The ‘fog-world’ isn’t the astral, but its state of observation/mind where the astral and one’s own inner universe within the astral is projected more heavily by the corrupted egregore/energy of the town.

Silent Hill 1 could just be neatly explained by Harry astral projecting after he bumped his head in a car crash and got in a coma, him dying making him succumbing to the coma, and the play novel does uphold this further (though it’s not like it’s necessary, you could tell from the bad ending that this was the case). However, that could be reality trying ‘justify’ itself and create a consistent narrative to Harry so that his reality doesn’t completely shatter

god fucking damn it

>>712961872 (OP)
Kind of, Ryukishi07 at the helm makes me a little worried though

>>712988809
At least he knows about the occult, I never read Higurashi so I don’t know how deeply it goes into Shinto

>Not taking place in the usual silent hill
>Stamina bar
>focus on melee weapons
>Creatures not made by Masahiro Ito
...S-silent hill 4, is that you?

>>712988809
That should make you excited, retard. R07 is good at writing tense psychological horror.

Wish i had done this. Even being sparce with ammo makes the final two bosses eat pretty much everything you have. FUCK memory of Alessa!!!

SH2 movie is set to be releasing on January 26
I thought they were going to aim a combined release with SHf

>>712983978
Just learn proper grammar. It isnt that hard

BWC, details don't matter here.

>>712961872 (OP)
This game doesn't look scary. What the fuck are they thinking? Are they afraid that too scary to stream on twitch=low sales?

>>712964158
>went for the most regurgitated otaku slop possible
FUCKING THIS + darksouls combat + 80 bucks for a 30 bucks game
this will flop like concord

>excited for this shit
Somewhat. I don't really give a shit what it's called, I'm just glad we're getting more big budget horror games.

>>712961872 (OP)
I just want to see what an actual video game written by Ryukishi will be like. The writer alone easily makes it the most interesting game of the year.

>>712961872 (OP)
I am not

this was tha og silento hill you pigs a stole it from us japanese in ww2

>>712980121
so bloodbourne so lovecraft

>>712961872 (OP)
Looks like the first good silent hill since 4.
Even with a chinese dev team or whatever it looks very promising. Japansese people are still in charge of everything, so it looks to actually have some SH dna at the very least.
Seeing as there wouldn't be that many guns floating around japan at the time this game takes place the focus on more action due to melee weapons seems fair. Just like sh1-3, action has a place, and can be both scary and somewhat cathartic.
I don't have super high expectation, but I'm hopeful this game will be good.

>>713000887
>Silent Hill is the consequence of the bombings

Is it schizo to believe that OD is related to Silent Hill?

>>712963365
Why do people care about this so much?
I've never understood this notion that games in the series HAVE to take place in the actual town of silent hill. Everything they've shown so far in SH f screams silent hill in every way.
It can be its own thing.

>>712961872 (OP)
Yes.

because all the spooky cult shit that lead to the town being the medium where the otherworld and real world bleed together happened in Silent Hill

>people still think the supernatural shit in SH is tied to the town and not individuals
This was hinted at by the second game and made explicit in 3 and 4.
