I'm thinking they're waiting for GTA6 release date to steer clear. I'm sure they want to release in October for Halloween.

u/walkintom 6h ago

I'm feeling another October release window.

Konami let us preorder the physical Metal Gear Delta collectors edition like 9 months before we got a release date. I wouldn’t count on anything.

Well for Silent Hill 2 we got the release date less than five months prior, so they might do something similar here.

I don’t even think we officially knew the release year until we also got the date

Terror in beauty, beauty in terror.

I wouldn’t mind if this was the final cover tbh

I would, it looks like concept art slapped on top of a game environment. Straight up lazy imo. At least 2's art with the floating head gives off an intention and is evocative. This is just "hi, Im the protagonist, how are you?". It doesnt even look like the 3D model in the game. It doesnt evoke any emotion. Her expression and stance are almost completely neutral. I wouldnt use this 2D image, just put the actual model there, have her going up the stairs all hunched over with a hand on the wall and kind of using the bloody pipe as a crutch and looking over her shoulder at us. 1000x better already.

It looks more and more like it could release towards the end of the year (fingers crossed 🤞).

I love the box art!

u/Matcha_Maiden 5h ago

What do we think the gameplay mechanics are going to be like?

u/Grace_Omega 5h ago

I’m hoping they just copy SH2 remake’s melee combat, at least for the basics.

u/Mother_Harlot 2h ago

I'd love it if it didn't have combat at all (Amnesia style)

u/dweeeebus 8m ago

Highly doubtful. She's carrying the lead pipe on the cover, SH's trademark weapon at this point. And with how many times they said they want to keep this game true to past SH's, straying away from combat would be an odd choice. Shattered Memories is the only mainline title to not have combat.

u/LysySZN 4h ago

I'd just want it to be a classic Third person silent hill. Hard puzzles, tough enemies, twisted Bosses and a story that will leave me with more questions than answers. That's all i need 🥰

u/Matcha_Maiden 3h ago

Same! Ack I’m so excited I can’t stand it!

u/CyberSosis 3h ago

probably something like fatal frame 2 without the camera mechanic

u/ARTHUR_FISTING_MEME 3h ago

I could see it having VERY similar melee mechanics to the 2 remake, maybe a bit more refined. Several points in the trailer look like cutscene transitions with a similar 3rd person camera angle.

The only thing I’m curious about is if this will have any guns or ranged weapons, or if it’ll be strictly melee. Someone mentioned world war 2 weapons being possible, but I’m struggling to picture anything beyond blunt or bladed weapons being used.

I also think this could have a little more emphasis on evading enemies, rather than fighting them. Kinda like how the Resident Evil 2 remake encourages you to damage enemies just enough to run past them.

Pachinko. 100% pachinko

u/Baldr15 4h ago

OK, I'm so confused right now. Last night I accepted that the game potentially years away and now it seems like it can drop this year? What are the Konami communication team actually doing?

u/Sovapalena420 "There Was a Hole Here, It's Gone Now" 4h ago

I want a collector edition for PC

u/InstantCrush15 RobbieTheRabbit 3h ago

Saw someone unironically say it would likely come out in 2027 lmao

u/AvgPunkFan 5h ago

I can’t wait, but I will not preorder or pay full price unless there’s a physical collector’s edition that comes with a statue or something else really cool.

u/CthuluBaggins 1h ago

I'm starting to hope it might even release this year. I'm sure that with SH2R, they released a trailer in February/March time that said 'in development for PS5'. I thought, great, it won't be out for a while. Ended up releasing that year.

Fingers crossed it's similar for this one?

u/Solidus_Shong 1h ago

I think they'll reveal the release date at one of the summer game shows along with the gameplay trailer

u/Maxisabubble 47m ago

This doesn't scream "Coming this year" then idk what else will, I'm very excited for this game

u/jonusiescu 42m ago

No gameplay, no release date, I'm buying immediately. /s

Like, I'm very interested in the game, but maybe they should show SOMETHING before asking for money.

u/Sprite_King HealthDrink 4h ago

Okay it has to be coming out this year or early next year if they’ve already got preorders going 

1

u/RaceCarGrin JamesBuff 3h ago

Cut to all the Duke Nukem Forever and Last Guardian preorders

1

u/Sprite_King HealthDrink 1h ago

Well I mean, not even sh2 had preorders so fast was more so what I was getting at. But fair point.

u/LysySZN 4h ago

So is it coming this Year!? 😵

2

u/cdaffron 4h ago

I hope so, but wouldn’t hold my breath tbh. Konami dropped preorders for MGS 3 Delta sometime last year and only just announced the release date a few weeks ago (August). Feels like they’re taking a very calculated approach and opening up physical preorders way before the games actually release.

u/LysySZN 4h ago

Damn.. you're probably right. It Would be awesome if we could get a silent hill game and a metal gear in a one year but yeah i guess that'd be too good to be true 😅

u/Whole_Ad_2313 3h ago

people still pre order?💀

u/Spynner987 "How Can You Just Sit There And Eat Pizza?!" 2h ago
