How do you feel about the action combat approach?

>>717321256 (OP)
All in the execution. What we've seen doesn't look great.

What would the sex feel like?

>>717321256 (OP)

Good. Old Silent Hill has been dead for more than 20 years. Stop with the fucking remakes.

Sounds good. Combat was a boring slog in the first games, except for the first couple of minutes of SH1 when you have no ammo, and SH3.
Fatal Frame has a heavy focus on combat with parries yet nobody ever complains about that franchise.

Cuz I'm a gaming flop yes I am

Souls-like combat is not the problem but how the monsters were designed and how combat was animated.

>>717321256 (OP)
Like SH3? That's fine.

>>717321728
>Souls-like combat is not the problem
that's where you're wrong, souls combat is pure shit

Quite literally that shitpost webm with the fucked up modern UI. Another beloved franchise bites the dust.

I don't play SH games for the combat, I play them for the atmosphere. The real question to me is if it's even going to feel like like I'm playing an actual horror game and not an action game with horror elements.

>>717322142
sh2 released a couple days after 9/11, that was 24 years ago, do you really think they give a shit about ~1000 fags who have done nothing but bitch and whine about the series who want to play walking simulators? you're out of touch unc

>>717321728
Combat doesn't seem that much of a focus. You get no EXP or resources from it. You only fight when necessery. Game seems design around managing resources and health items so you can get them to shrines to level up stats and get amulets with buffs.

>>717321481
just get rid of the giant pause-for-retards and it'd be fine
why do all higher-cost production action games do this weird slowmo shit now, is it because people have unironic brain lag and need the extra time to visually process the hit?

>>717321256 (OP)
I'm more interested in this "appeal to younger audiences" line of thinking.

Is this meant to imply the current gen of gamers who haven't had Silent Hill for 10 years or does it mean it more literally in that they want actual children to play it? Because kids will play any edgy dark horror games regardless of how badly it plays without issue.

So I think it's meant to mean appeal to the generation of gamers who missed out on the later Silent Hills, who were probably 8-10 when Downpour came out so would be in their early 20s when the new games started coming.

Which yeah is what this anon describes >>717322142 Konami have invested too much into reviving Silent Hill and they are not going to let it die prematurely before all the major projects roll out. And that means making it more approachable as a horror game, turning it more into action-horror instead of survival-horror.

Which leaves us in a funny possibility where Poppy Playtime is more of a traditional horror game than the new Silent Hill outings.

>>717321256 (OP)
He's right but bloober midwits are the majority now. I haven't cared for silent hill since origin came out. The 2 remake brought with it nothing besides tards calling it genius for worsening the game or validating their faggy theories. Something new and diffrerent isn't a bad thing. It just depends on its execution. F can be bad, but it already has more worth and value than 2 remake.

>>717322517
Konami hasn't "invested heavily" they whored out the ip to bloober and are doing the bare minimum. I've lived in japan for years and its crazy seeing the way people talk about konami in the states. They probably make and spend more on bombergirl which typically has lines for new drops and recently shine post was popular here.

>its crazy seeing the way people talk about konami in the states
As a Yugioh fan, I can attest that Konami USA is horrific.

>>717321481
feel like for the hit-stop to work, the doll needs to react more to being hit
maybe the doll getting tossed back and then scurrying back up to you would elicit the right effect.
But that would be too much work, i guess.

>>717322395
Sure but if the monsters are appropriately designed the game would've looked better. The thing is, Silent Hill monsters(except bosses) are pathetic in a sense that most are not that aggressive and arguably weaker than you. They are creatures in constant pain and you can pretty much dodge and avoid them if possible. Silent Hill F's monsters on the other hand are very aggressive and immediately lock on to you.

muh younger audiences

>>717321481
that lock on dot pisses me off more than anything.
utterly soulless ubisoft type of design.

I hated it already 18 years ago when SH HC dropped, and I hate it today.

Yeah yeah, I know that zoom zoom gamers and devs only know that "Souls-lite" slop because ALL of their games play like it nowadays... but Jesus Christ, just STOP.

>>717321495
This shit is going to just KEEP it dead.
And like we said already 15 years ago: sometimes, it is better to STAY dead than be raped by greedy hacks and SJWs.

>Fatal Frame has a heavy focus on combat with parries
What in the living fuck are you babbling about?
Aiming your camera like a turret is in no way comparable to goddamn over-shoulder attack-combo + dodgeroll slop.

I don't care for it. The Silent Hill series has been bumbling about, trying to come up with a combat system that doesn't suck since its very beginning and never even came close to succeeding.

I maintain that Shattered Memories had the right idea by removing it entirely.
