it's not a game, it's an animated series.

honestly, i'm cautiously optimistic. the writing could end up being awful, but the aesthetic actually feels like silent hill.
and using actual monsters instead of pyramid head for the 12893579102353125 time gives me hope

I learned that after making my post and my day was ruined further. I just want to see a Silent Hill game that is fun

Somehow I missed that SILENT HILL f was a thing. If an actual game is coming out, this could just be a fun side thing.

I don't see any part of this this have anything to do with silent hill except the name, I had a feeling non of the people working on this project played silent hill before, not even Konami.

They need to go back to the roots of the first 3 games, they were what made Silent Hill truly frightening. This new one looks to be aimed at Far-Eastern audiences, instead of the West.

Still can't get the idea how of this "game". It will be Teltalle type of game, or visual novel, or walking sim or what.

It's not a game at all. It's a series.

...?
Silent Hill's first four titles were made by Japanese teams.
They wouldn't be what they are without Japanese horror.
If the series is evocative of East Asian horror to you, then they're doing something right.

What I'm saying is it doesn't look like it is being made for western audiences. I'm well-aware of thos facts you presented.

But like... it's only when they started exclusively targeting western audiences that the quality of the series dropped.

To be frank, to me the decay in quality only made itself really apparent with Downpour.
I played through Homecoming one night at a nephew's place, an all nighter finishing the entire game, and I found it quite good for a Silent Hill.
I'm sure it's not of the same level as the original 4, but it still is a solid entry.

But Downpour, damn...

I checked a little more about Genvid, and I found they were working on a Twitch's overlay for viewer's interactivity.
show mini map with all players, interact in the game events, etc.

So, this silent hill movie could be complete (no need to wait for days until the viewers vote and the broadcaster choose which episode will air next).
just wondering if it'll be a unique thing, a single story, or if there will be many instances, a way to replay and be part of another viewer's group to make another decisions.
If it's a single one, it's a waste of resources and time they spent on making all the different story branches. I can guess there will be multiple broadcasts. Just wondering how will host it, and how many will be available at the same time, or how long to wait until next air.
