Silent Hill May Be Getting Brought Back By Bloober Team...

I’m over the moon about this. I fully expected they’d remake SH & SH3 at least, more so after the success of SH2 re. I hope development started some time ago so there’ll be more news released next year on release dates etc.

I’ve also decided to pre-order SH f & will certainly pre-order RE9.

 

Did you play it, Goddess?

I'm actually more so looking forward to playing through the next spin off called Townfall, TBH, as this game is more like a spin off about Japan.

Why it has anything to do with Silent Hill besides a 'phenomenon' making stuff occur outside of the region itself, beats me.

Yet to play it, mind you. So I cannot comment on whether the gameplay is engaging enough, or that.

 

I did - bought the steelbook edition & thoroughly enjoyed it. Bloober did the game proud & I can’t wait to see what they do with the first game. If that is a success - & I’m sure it will be - then they most likely will remake SH 3 next.
Currently waiting for Assassin’s Creed Black Flag resync to release in July. I’ve finished Resident Evil Requiem.
I’ve pre-ordered Townfall, it’s based in Scotland & has a new protagonist. I tried SH f which is based in Japan but the combat was bad but the puzzles were good.

 

Capcom previously made me feel rather vinegary about the direction of the series, but their newest instalment has blown me away. It is dark and creepy, and has a main character who is the daughter of a protagonist from a spin off. Makes one hopeful they're gonna realise fans want a decent online, multiplayer title.

At least Konami are doing different things with the SH series, and making it feel modern in some ways. Like how "The Short Message" deals with post Covid pandemic life, and the peer pressure of being a young student in the Facebook era, where gaining 'likes' is more important than it should be for users online.

 

I felt RE 5 & 6 were poor entries so skipped those. I was reluctant to buy 7 because of that but did so as it looked scary, at first I didn’t like it due to Jack chasing Ethan all the time & couldn’t pass this section so I gave up on it. A few years later I tried 7 again & loved it.
I hear some of the DLC for 9 will feature Alyssa Ashcroft which will be interesting.
Currently running through the Leon must Die forever dlc.

 

I heard the story DLC could mark the return of Chris and Ada.

Leon is also married now, but to who? In the latest game, he can be seen wearing a ring. So maybe it's Ada. LOL.

Excited!

 

There’s a lot of DLC rumours at the moment.
That’s supposedly the case, I sincerely hope it isn’t Ada as imo they don’t seem to have any chemistry together, so either his wife is a civilian or someone we haven’t seen in-game in a while - hopefully it’ll be Claire.

 

It could be that his spouse is Angela Miller, who was in the first animated movie. They went on a date. She said they should try going swimming again.

She was a pretty cool character, to be honest.

 

There’s certainly much debate on the mystery wife.

We now have a release date for SH Townfall - Sept 24th.

 

This video provides an interesting scope on where the series peaked, to how it was eventually revived, with different titles, leading to mixed results...

 

Good video.

Code Veronica remake has officially been announced (now just Veronica it seems) due for release 2027 so Capcom must be far in advance with developement.

 

The old lady in the trailer comments on a boulder, but Chris didn't earn that status until RE5. ☺

 

Perhaps he’s punched other boulders we don’t know about.
I suspect the line is meant to suggest the room/flat belongs to Chris.

 

I feel like Capcom and Konami have redeemed themselves. I had called time on my ranting, because as you know, glazers on GameFAQs don't like to alter their viewpoints. But I think Capcom have seen that, stuff like RE6, the movies, the spin offs, and especially the embarrassing Netflix series, were lame additions to the franchise. So I respect that RE9 and SH2 brought the genre back to the classic style...

 

There’s certainly been some improvement with the games. Tbh I love the movies (apart from welcome to Raccoon city), they’re escapism films loosely tied to RE imo.
I’m awaiting the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake next.
