I can understand why people WOULD be hyped for this game because on paper the idea sounds awesome. One of the best game developers in the industry teaming up with a highly talented movie director to bring us a new horror game for the next generation; sounds awesome right?
Well no, first of all there's the problem of the trailer.
Now there is another video that I can't be arsed to find but if you type "Silent Hills Playable Teaser" it will come up. In those videos it shows people walking around a house in first person before being jumped by a dirty woman and the demo ending.
It's like they took the first person apartment sections from Silent Hill 4, which everybody fucking hated and used THAT to showcase their big, scary horror game. The other problem is that the demo ends with a fucking jump scare which is never what Silent Hill was ever about and to top it all off you get jumped by a fucking person. People aren't fucking scary because you know what they are. Sure, a person with a chainsaw or something is threatening but it's not scary. You can shoot a person in the face and unless it's a zombie (and please god don't bring zombies into Silent Hill) they should fall to the ground.
Look at all the enemies in Silent Hill 2 or 3. Just these vague shapes that kind of twitch around and they are scary because you know they are going to fuck you up but you aren't quite sure how. They are scary because they are intimidating and vague but a woman jumping out of a closet and killing you with her bad breath is NOT fucking scary.
Also why the fuck is it called "Silent Hills". Anyone who has played the games once or twice can tell you that the whole multiple dimension thing is wrong or is it just a case of Kojima being addicted to pluralizing everything like with "Ground Zeroes"
The point is though, we didn't NEED another fucking Silent Hill. Team Silent said way back after Silent Hill 4 that the series was done, just let it fucking die already. It's already a steaming pile of shit and betrayal so even if Kojima did produce something decent at the end of the day all he's doing is coating a turd in gold.
EDIT: It came to my attention via Facebook that some of my information given in this post was wrong and I'm sad to admit that it was. The playable teaser does not end with a jump scare, oh no, it's just EVEN MORE BULLSHIT THAN I FIRST IMAGINED.
So here's what happens; you walk around a creepy house, see some creepy shit and get jumped by a dirty woman along with some other things. Then in the ending there's a phone call with some guy on the other side talking about how he's "back with his new toys" or some shit and then it leads into the footage from the initial trailer.
Guess what....BULLSHIT! I have one HUGE glaring problem with the content in this trailer. Silent Hill is an ABANDONED TOWN. It was abandoned because of the influence the of the cult and their drug running and all sorts of other shit you can read in the FUCKING FIRST GAME IT'S NOT HARD. So from that we can safely assume that the house featured in the trailer is NOT located in Silent Hill.
You could argue that the character has been brought here by someone judging from how it started but who and why would anyone do that? Also the demo talks about a father gunning down his family with a shotgun and the foreshadowing is about as subtle as a steel pipe to the head so now I'm assuming it's going to be about a "man battling his demons" which means THE GAME IS BULLSHIT.
Anyway, the reason I make a big deal about the location of the house is because SILENT HILL CAN'T/DOESN'T AT ANY POINT EVER TELEPORT PEOPLE PEOPLE. So if the house isn't in Silent Hill and he walks through his front door into Silent Hill that means he was teleported there so COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT.
May I suggest to anyone looking to comment via blogger or Facebook to PLAY THE FUCKING GAMES. The P.T is bullshit and so is anyone defending this nonsense. Silent Hill Downpour had a similar initial promotional video and look how THAT game turned out
I rest my damned case.
