>>717818748 (OP)>avoid recreating Silent Hill 2 over and over againThis is actually very good to hear though. I may not like the combat focus but if they could somehow make something in the future that is good and isn't just more shameless westernized copies of SH2 then this is a good thing. That guy Tom Hulett absolutely fucked this franchise for decades thanks to that shit.
I think a good way to go about doing these games in the future in regards to combat is either just simply copy Dead Space's combat or copy Condemned. Both of these games would serve as the best possible template for a combat system that they could use. Since SH is more melee focused than RE it might be better to take it first person and emphasize melee combat against creepy weird looking monsters. Whatever combat system SHf has is absolute garbage.
