I haven't been following this one at all. Is there an actual game to this, or is it just the voting thing?

How else are they supposed to monetize the game then? You can watch it for free.

Easily one of the most cynical, disturbingly abusive "things" that happened in videogames this entire year.

It's outrageously bad and I can't believe this isn't getting headlines every week for how predatory it is.

It’s insanely bad. Go watch a couple of cutscenes. Everything looks and sounds like AI prompts. Nothing makes any sense. It’s embarrassing. Someone should stop Konami before they erase any healthy memory of this franchise.

The whole fiasco is absolutely hilarious.

ChatGPT, create a Silent Hill title that's , like, the opposite of "Downpour" because we want to distance ourselves from that one.

ChatGPT: "Down means down. Ascension means upward motion. Silent Hill: Ascension."

It truly is. The fact that anyone thought this would be a great idea, especially for the IP, is absolutely dumbfounding. I mean, SH fans have been waiting for a return to the series for several years, and this idea and attempt was the first go again at the IP? It's the absolute worst first impression, lol. Definitely tarnished the IP in the eyes of the majority.

If they would've done this idea for a new IP that wasn't SH (and with some other changes of course) it may not have gotten so much negative attention. But here we are, lol.
