>Doesn't take place in Silent Hill
>Doesn't play like Silent Hill
... Excuse me why is this even named Silent Hill instead of being a new IP? Would probably have more success that way. If I were looking at this like a new franchise called "Born in Blood", "Nightmare Evil" or "Lethal Frame" I'd be interested and eager to try it, but it falls flat when you compare it to everything existing about SH. It has no connection whatsoever to the original entries so it was easier to just call it a new Konami IP than to try shoehorning it as part of SH.

>"Compare it to everything existing about SH"
Like Homecoming, or Downpour, or Book of Memories, or The Short Message or Ascension?
Silent Hill 2's remake being anything but a trainwreck was a miracle in itself and Silent Hill f looks like it'll be good too.
Also the final Team Silent game wasn't in Silent Hill either in case you forgot

>>717366894
I slipped up, I mostly only count sh1, 2, 3, any remakes and the movies as Silent Hill. I mean that's the good stuff, I don't think anyone being a fan and discussing SH decades later is doing it because of the rest of media.

>Excuse me why is this even named Silent Hill instead of being a new IP?
Because those faggots are not confident in their product and needs to farm on a popular franchise IP to not gigaflop

>>717366505 (OP)
jap cucks being btfo by based polacks lol

>>717366505 (OP)
What is Silent Hill 4 and the first half of Silent Hill 3

>>717368825
those are actual SH games unlike this atrocity.

>>717366505 (OP)
This is already a decades old tactic lazy publishers use to "refresh" their old IPs, selling it to the new, easier to please audiences.

New IPs? Always a "risk".
Already established franchise with some fame and following? Instantly sells better!

Happened with DOOM. Happened to Resident Evil. Will happen to SH and MGS now as well, no matter the 20 years of fighting against Jewnami's shenanigas.

>>717366505 (OP)
The last good new horror IP was Evil Within and it flopped. The new IP from the SH1 director also flopped.
Let them call this Silent Hill and if it's bad we can pretend it doesn't exist, like many other games in the franchise.

>>717369695
any modern horror game flops that isnt some streamer bait jumpscare shit.

>NOOOOO!!! EVERY SILENT HILL GAME HAS TO BE A TWIN PEAKS HOMAGE!!!
>DON'T YOU GET IT? IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THE ACTING IS SO AWKWARD AND IT'S DEEP BECAUSE NOBODY HAS ANY IDEA WHAT IS GOING ON!!

>>717370630
better than another making it another rollslopparry game

Silent Hill F(lop)

general red flags:
>80 euros for a AA game from a chink studio (their first own game after only doing RE:sistance)
>japanese setting (silent hill PHENOMENON)
>piss easy puzzles, with hinako telling you the solutions
>enemies look like straight out of homecoming / downpour (dolls, mine bats)
>every enemy gets introduced by screeching into the camera like a soulsboss
>only one ending on first playthrough, you have to play it several times to get the whole story
>not even a mainline SH, but a spin-off (just a rebranded horror game)

gameplay:
>action-focused SOULSLOP (with stats faggotry)
>hit-stop on every hit (enemies don't actually react to being hit)
>focus mode after 'perfect parry' with matrix slo-mo (konami didn't want to show this in gameplay footage)
>no guns, only melee weapons
>weapon durability (you have to repair weapons with repair kits)
>you can only carry 3 weapons at a time
>sanity meter depleting on every action; at 0 sanity inability to move (meaning you can get softlocked; konami didn't want to show this in gameplay footage)
>most enemies cannot be outrun, you have to fight

story:
>female protag (schoolgirl drama with woke gender theory themes)
>hinako refuses to 'abide by the patriarchy' by rejecting her role as a female while also being the most beautiful in her class (lmao) and being bullied by her envious peers for it
>hinako's sister was "ruined" by marriage (anti marriage, anti-natalist)
>hinako's parents are in an abusive relationship (anti-relationship, anti-monogamy)
>extremely woke with the most outragious content deep into the game, so that you can't refund anymore

>>717366505 (OP)
>Excuse me why is this even named Silent Hill instead of being a new IP
money

Because Konami is not confident in a new horror IP doing well. Shattered Memories didn't need to be a SH game and I think it would have been recieved better had been its own IP but Konami didn't.

>>717366505 (OP)
The town of Silent Hill hasn't been the main setting of the games since Silent Hill 2 twenty four years ago.

Same reason they didn't give "RE4" a new name.

>>717371945
how do we know any of this? wasn't there only a preview?

>>717374698
everything on the list was confirmed by previews

>>717366505 (OP)
>If I were looking at this like a new franchise called "Born in Blood", "Nightmare Evil" or "Lethal Frame" I'd be interested and eager to try it
That's all that matters. If it doesn't feel like a SH game, just enjoy it on its own terms if it looks good to you.

>>717369695
>The last good new horror IP was Evil Within
It was fucking shit, kiddo.
Literally prime example of generic as fuck OTS shit + literal plagiarism.

Meanwhile, we just got Signalis and Tormented Souls a couple years ago, both brand new games, and they rock.

>>717366505 (OP)
its just using the ip to sell some slop
this "Silent Hill beatemup"
next you will have "Silent Hill racing" and "Silent Hill tactical shooter"

Eileen shaving

>>717375304
Isn't Tormented Souls impossibly hard? Well I only played for like 1 hour and it gave me old RE or SH vibes, as in, I'd never complete them without a guide. But now I don't like using guides so I'm screwed I guess.

>>717375909
>Isn't Tormented Souls impossibly hard?
Only if you're literally 2000s' kid who has never played a single real RE or SH game.

>I'd never complete them without a guide
Congraz, you are LITERALLY a braindead moron.
I'm an ESL, and I beat all of the SH and RE games on my own, as a fucking pre-teen toddler. No internet, no fancy guides or any of that shit in my country.

>>717366505 (OP)
Because it wasn't planned to be a Silent Hill. It was probably going to be called "Shinjirarenai, konna yurei ga deru Shinto no mura ni iru nante!" and they realized that wasn't going to sell so they decided to piggyback off the Silent Hill IP.

>>717371945
Nice!
Preordered.

>>717375304
>tormentend souls
shit taste, imbecile

>>717375304
Evil Within sold more than Signalis and Tormented Souls combined, at a higher price, and it was still considered a flop
Silent Hill f can't afford to sell as little as an indie title, which is my entire point as to why they're not making a new IP

>>717366505 (OP)
the combat goes hard ngl

>>717366505 (OP)
Dragon master 7 will cook and doubters will kneel

I will buy Silent Hill f.

>>717371945
This would be amazing in nearly every other genre but not in the semi realistic world of psychological horror of Silent Hill, unless it's revealed at some point that it's all in her head because of watching so much anime and she can't actually fight.

Mario or Sonic soulslike would be fine, not this

>>717380014
Same. Really itching for some J-horror.

>>717375282
Exactly. People are too hung up on the name. If it looks good and plays well, who cares if it says "Silent Hill" on the box or "Spooky Japanese Girl: Blossom Nightmare". The brand doesn’t dictate the experience anymore; it’s just marketing. If you want OG SH vibes, go replay 2 for the hundredth time and let other people enjoy this new weird shit.

>>717366894
>>717368825
You expect this retard to have played any actual SH game? He's just baiting because he knows this thread will get him the attention he never got from his parents - that's all these shitposters ever do, lie about playing games to get people mad.

>>717366505 (OP)
>why is this even named Silent Hill
Because you and everyone else in this thread wouldn't be talking about it right now otherwise.
It sucks but that's the reality.

>but not in the semi realistic world of psychological horror of Silent Hill, unless it's revealed at some point that it's all in her head because of watching so much anime and she can't actually fight.

I'm a Higurashi expert that's gotta count for something

>>717374698
The previews dropped a lot of information. A lot more than you'd expect. It seems it was okay for them to talk about it since those videos haven't been taken down. Konami is okay with all the info coming out. I guess with it being very close to the game coming out.

Is there a spooky town? Bam, Silent Hill game! What else is there to Silent Hill that isn't just chasing Silent Hill 2 again?

>>717371945
>culture war faggot shit
I'm gonna buy just to create more demand for things that piss you off.

>Silent Hill should return to the East. They do REAL horror
>1st game is Silent Hill cyber bullying
>Now this
I wish the ip died when team silent disbanded
