SILENT HILL: Townfall | Release Date Trailer (PS5, Steam, Epic Store)

Horror games with unkillable stalking enemies peaked with Alien: Isolation and the industry is still living under its shadow.
This game looks like the most solid 5/10 I've ever seen.
 
can walk around most of London and see horrors worse than this game for free
Fair point,I moved out from London 10 years after being born and raised there,I'm now in a village in the sticks, best bit about going back to London to see my family ect is........ the road back out
 
It's a Silent Hill game that looks like a butt ton of walking/walking & stealth horror FPS games. Nothing about it has hooked me. I'll keep the smallest pulse on it.

Same, same. But I have to travel there frequently for work obligations and training etc

When I lived in Japan I could walk around feeling safe alone at 3 am in the morning. In London these days I feel unsafe walking around at 3 in the afternoon. It's a scary place now, full of scum and violent crime.

Just the other day I saw two violent phone muggings within hours of each other. When I lived in Bethnel Green back in the 90's it was kinda rough in parts but nothing like it is now.
 
If this is a heavy hide and seek / stealth game, it will be my first ever skipped Silent Hill, absolutely hate that shit. Maybe within the next 5 months it will be more clear what it is, but had dreaded this since first gameplay reveal.

Edit - Seems to be £45 on Steam, so probably even closer to £30 on the usual key sites, might tempt me, but not sure.

I don't know. I'm not bursting with excitement. I don't expect it to be bad but I don't know if it'll be good. I didn't think Sh f was all that great after beating it. This looks ok, but I skipped that mini series they did. The Short Message was "ok". This could be good but I wouldn't say this was the second coming of Silent Hill. I'd rank RE above SH except for SH2 remake they did.

I'm skeptical like any typical SH fan since the OG years. I'm also not getting my hopes up.

Maybe part of SH f was culture shock and no real relatable characters. Perhaps this could be better than f was?

Yea saw plenty of people getting robbed at knife point lots of gang violence and postcode shit when I was in secondary school as it was the rise of the grime music era. I was north London near Bruce grove.It calmed down a bit by the time I started uni like 2010 but 2004-2008 was really bad.

Japan is very safe,would love to visit one day.

yes remember that time well. Small world btw, I briefly lived in a flat opposite the spurs stadium lol. Pretty sure that's just down the road from where you stayed.

It looked like every other UE5 indie stealth horror games on steam.
Protag trauma seems to have to do with war so not having combat is a weird choice (if he fought in a war he knows how to fight).
Maybe there will be some and the devs just hide it from us. I really hope so becasue if not the game will just not be a silent hill.

Defo small world,I lived near the carribean food place 'jerkies' near the barber shops dee ultimate and top cut ect for about 3 years literally down the road from you near the stadium lol.
Moved to Enfield after that and then left for good old suffolk in 2015.

Nice!

Back then I was working at the MI5 building in Thames House, then moved to Japan and did contract security for 10 years, now back in Wiltshire near RAF base where I work now.

Wiltshire countryside still feels like oldschool Englad, I love it. A far cry away from London and relatively safe.

Konami came out and stated "Silent Hill yearly game releases are now the internal target". :pie_eyeroll:

We'll get trash after trash until it doesn't sell at all.

Let's hope at least SH1&3 remakes end up being good.

What are you bitching about? Silent HIll 2 and Silent Hill f were both fantastic, and Townfall is looking very promising as well.
 
I know alot of people didn't like Silent Hill F cause it doesn't feel much like Silent Hill, but at least it was a little interesting, this looks just as "Not Silent Hill" and holy god does it look boring on top of that.

Are you sure this is real ?
One silent hill a year is crazy pace, even if they are walking simulators...

You might be in your own silent hill, and hell for you is konami churning out endless trash using the ip you love, without you being able to do anything about it. Think about it next time you hear static on a radio.

The game has combat. Previous trailer had the protagonist firing a gun and melee with a plank of wood.
 
My thoughts remain the same on this as a previous thread
You're right man, why not just a normal black dude like Lee from Telltale's Walking Dead, he's no CJ hood gangster and no San Francisco nerd, just normal.

Also when this game inevitably fails to be as successful as Silent Hill F was, I'll bet my left kidney that the devs won't interpret the reasons correctly.
 
It's Annapurna so it's going to be a heavily scripted walking game "the real enemy was racism all along" slop.
Harry Mason and James Sunderland are revealed at the end to be actually working for the KKK and Pyramidhead is the head of the KKK all along. And that the
fog in Silent Hill was never actually fog, it was people from the KKK filling the town with smoke from smoke machines, to obstruct black peoples vision and keep them down.

P.S. I mean no ill intent, just how crazy modern western developers are and that these days nothing is too crazy for them to actually believe

After Silent Hill 2 Remake success they think it's a good idea:
