Silent Hill f is the most interesting to me.
Very excited for the 2 remake. Wish a Japanese dev got their hands on it over another foreign studio, not that I have animosity towards Bloober Team but eh.

I liked the Silent Hill F trailer, I don’t get people saying it doesn’t feel like Silent Hill, it did to me
With games like, The Medium, Blair Witch, and Layers of Fear which were all stinkers imo, I'm very cautious about how they will make Silent Hill 2. If they indeed fuck it up, my animosity will only increase lol.
F seems to be the most interesting to me as well. 1960's Japan sounds like a great time frame to make it based around.
Ascension is definitely the thing I'm least excited for from the Silent Hill revival. Very little of what was in that trailer felt Silent Hill-ish at all. The idea of a community choose-your-own-adventure is kind of interesting though.
Didn’t Rob Sheridan do some crowd dictated storyline on twitter where I remember feeling completely at odds with it as I was always the opposite of what everyone wanted. Absolutely tedious
cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy is apparently doing the music for Silent Hill Ascension.
Hey, spoilers, Ascension is trash.
Hope y’all like a $20 season pass/“Founder’s Pack,” full of quirky emotes such as ‘It’s trauma!’ in rainbow font and the classic ‘It’s bread,’ perfect for an app you’ll probably open one time and then never again. Emotes that you can only use in the live chat, which is absolutely impossible to even follow.
I can’t believe they’re really expecting “millions of fans” to play this every single day for like 16 weeks straight. That’s actually unfathomable.
Update: Live chat was temporarily shut down, as people started finding out that the only two words that were being filtered out were “scam” and “Kojima.” But thankfully any slur you could think of was totally fine, because there was no moderation whatsoever. The chat is now in “sticker only” mode, meaning you cannot type text, and HAVE to communicate via stickers bought in-game.
Word on the street is that night’s stream was interrupted by a video of a couple dudes on the dev team profusely apologizing for, well, everything. Still gotta watch that, myself.
Hope the “I’m just happy to have Silent Hill back even if it’s bad” crowd is happy.

Release date of October 8th, 2024
Pre-order bonuses and other news
I hate that it's releasing on a Tuesday, but I've already requested the 8th and 9th off of work to play it.
Yeah, I'm gonna skip this and go with the PC fan enhancement, which is excellent and STILL being developed to this day:

I'm currently replaying the series since I'm hyped for the remake. I just beat Silent Hill 4 for the first time since 2009. I forgot how good the first half of the game was and then was quickly reminded why I haven't played it in 15 years when I got to the extended escort mission that is the second half of the game. I did, however, manage to get the best ending which was the first time I accomplished that feat.
This is the best trailer yet. I can't wait to play this game. I also saw a new gameplay video with bits of the early town exploration and apartment buildings. They've completely remixed a lot of it and it should be fun getting a fresh, yet familiar, Silent Hill game. The apartments seem to be pretty significantly expanded from what I could tell. There are also more buildings that James can enter in the city exploration parts. I wonder if we'll get Downpour-style side quests in those segments of the game.
That trailer is a complete 180.
This is promising...

Definitely the best trailer by far. Hopefully they tightened up the way the combat looks, but this finally set the tone for the game.
If nothing else it still has one of the best scores of all time
So uh, this thing's getting rave reviews across the park. 9/10s everywhere.
Can't deny I've been on tenterhooks about it. It's like trying to reproduce a Van Gogh, far as I'm concerned. I guess we'll know soon enough.
I was already excited for the game, but the reviews have shot that excitement through the roof. It's almost to the point where I'm considering dropping another $80 so I can play it tomorrow instead of waiting for Tuesday.
I bought the 70 dollar version for PC, I was confused when it unlocked but I was able to load and play 8 am this morning. It was only 10 bucks more for early access and this remake got good reviews. I was late getting into Silent Hill but I'm still very much upset PT never got finished.
I've just finished the apartments section with the Spoiler: Pyramid Head boss fight at the end. My playthrough so far has been 4 hours so the statement about the remake being longer really holds up.
My only con about the remake is the soundtrack which isn't bad at all but I still think the og music is better... so it's just a personal taste. I'm loving the game so far and Bloober Team really did a 180.
I never played the original, so I’m not sure how different everything is… but they definitely seem to have left in some old school design stuff. I really have no idea where I’m going and I’m still pretty much near the beginning.
Definitely nailed this. Probably my favorite game of the year. My only gripe is that they've added stuff and I think what's added, at least from what I can tell, slightly misses the spirit of the original puzzles. And obviously nothing needed to be added in the first place. Contemporary resident evil games are often shorter than the original SH2 so I'm not really sure why they felt they needed to pad it.
I've been enjoying the 90s filter quite a lot, going back and forth between that and the default filter u able to decide which I like better. I adjusted the HUD a bit too, eliminated the red border health read out, so I just pause to check my status.
So the game is awesome and it's getting great reviews from critics and the general public. As somebody who joined the Silent Hill community around the release of Origins, this is literally the first time I've been part of such a positive wave of reactions to a Silent Hill game. I hope this game sells well so we don't have to see the franchise lie dormant for another decade after this group of releases.
I just picked it back up, and I’m at Spoiler: the part where you meet Maria, right after you have your (first?) fight with Pyramid Head.
I’m liking it, but I never played the original back in the day, and it isn’t blowing my mind exactly, but I’m liking it. I feel like I’ve slowly been getting into how it’s actually played… like, it seems the way it works is you walk into these dimly lit areas, and just kinda fumble around in the dark until you can proceed? I feel very lost most of the time, and it seems like stuff around me changes in subtle ways?
