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.

 

Much of my time playing RE9 has literally been spent searching for various key items, or having to figure out where to locate parts to make a bomb, open a gate, or rescue somebody. Over and over again, I was running around an area, unsure of how to proceed.

The nippy part where you need to restore power to the cellblock to free Emily was prolonged boredom. So it has been a slog at times.

However, I noticed Capcom even took a page outta Days Gone, with the wolves following Leon Kennedy in the ruins of Raccoon City while he's on the BSAA's motorbike. It's way too similar to those chase sequences with Deacon St. John being attacked by wolves while riding about Oregon on the roads.

 

That part was long, Once you have all the files then you can cut a bit out - there’s no need to open the sleep area, I go direct to the room with the crate, move this & go pick up the T wrench.
I’m currently trying to do the Leon’s Inferno challenge.

I’m currently re-watching the Alice movies & have noticed similarities - clones in globe pods being one as well as mind control.

 

I think they want fans to consider Ozwell E. Spencer to have felt remorseful for how his virus caused the deaths of thousands.

The thing is, he was always presented as the cornerstone bad guy, being behind the Umbrella Corporation. So why he would be classed as nice now, post death, is odd.

I never did trust Capcom to always write good stories. They were getting better. But it seems strange to throw in scenes where Leon recalls meeting Robert and Marvin. These are from the remakes.

What questions what is canonical is revealing the skull of Robert's daughter. In the original game, he was pretty much just a minor character for Claire to pick up the crossbow. His daughter only appears in the 2019 remake. So I reckon the remakes are supposedly "replacing" the OG lore. Or at least it seems like this is what Capcom has initiated.

 

I agree. Perhaps the DLC will answer the question as to the change of heart.

There’s some debate on who the skull belongs to with some suggesting it is Robert’s skull but imo it isn’t big enough to be an adult’s skeleton/skull. Capcom probably assume most people would’ve played the remakes than the original so are trying to add those games to the lore/canon.

 

I think Kendo had to reluctantly shoot her. He's playable in that non-canon side game in RE2. The name escapes me.

But yeah. It's a shame they're doing this. I'd really like to see the video, post on X, or whatever it was, where Capcom said "nobody will play the originals" anymore. I know YouTubers referenced it, but if that's all actually true, I kind of have lost respect for Capcom.

I also kind of hate how they copy other games. There's too many to cast up. They have copied a lot of stuff from unrelated titles. And so I just knew RE9 would be no different.

Seeing Leon getting attacked by wolves was funny, however.

On Reddit, I seen a thread where a user was asking about a guy named "Nemesis" from when he was well known on YouTube.

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1p1erhj/does_anyone_remember_this_re_youtuber_called/

I remember Nemesis so well, because he once made brilliant rant videos on RE and other games. And at the time, he particularly hated Ethan Winters, and 'called out' Capcom a lot for ruining Shinji Mikami's creation. But over time, he gradually changed after some nerds went and attacked him, and I got caught up in it for a while.

Eventually, he quit making videos exposing Capcom. He even got granted interviews with the voice cast, and acted all positive. Then I noticed he deleted his channel, but not before purging his uploads.

He even decided to do DMCA takedown requests on archive.org, as not one of his videos are available. But I did not save them, as trying to find good apps to do that isn't always that simple.

There are still interesting YouTubers who offer up commentary on the series, but the web as we knew it, is practically dead now.

 

Fans will always love the original games as they have sections which were removed from the remakes. I’m surprised if Capcom actually said that.
That’s the only section where auto aim doesn’t seem to work for me because the wolves move too quick.
Capcom may have served some form of cease & desist order against him as he closed/took down everything.

 

August should be an interesting month.
