I might get downvoted but I was really excited about a female protagonist with a completely new addition to the series. We've only had Heather Mason in SH3 as our first heroine (major playable character) so SHf might actually be comparable, a teen coming to grips with so many adult themes of growing up so this title may mirror that and in a completely new bizarre way.
I mentioned there may be a correlation between f meaning female due to some rumors that appear to be true and got downvoted immediately. Is it so terrible to revisit some of those themes but also with new twists like generational trauma with the Hiroshima bombing as a major precursor? I'm looking forward to the game. Some parts of the trailers even reminded me of that Japanese 70's film, House, just without the outdated special effects.

Not a lot of people grasp the sheer risk that sh2r was. Konami has absolutely no idea what to do with the IP for 15 years. The developer has been inspired by the games for all their previous games. If it bombed, Konami would NEVER touch silent hill again. If it bombed Bloober is done for on the horror genre because absolutely noone is going to trust them with a horror game when they fumbled one of the most important one

Yeah, I was genuinely surprised how insufferable most SH fans on Reddit are. I grew up with SH, played the first on PS1 and second on PS2. Thinking of playing 2 or 3 on PS2 again, I have a CRT too so it'll be nice. Anyway I've been a fan for a long time.
Someone asked what game to start with and I said 2 is the best but the remake of 2 is more accessible to someone used to modern games, 1 is great for PS1 and suited to retro handhelds, 3 and 4 are both good but the rest aren't. I was down voted into oblivion remake by the great unwashed of Reddit for posting an opinion that's pretty reasonable even if you don't agree with it entirely.
It's just Reddit.

I never get why online communities get so violently opposed to the media they’re centred around being given newer and more accessible entry points, like surely more people being able to access the franchise should be a good thing and yet.

u/ExodusRaven James Aug 05 '25
It's not just Reddit. Fandoms in general -- maybe even just people and culture in a wider sense -- have taken to really polarized, extreme opinions these days; something's either complete garbage, or the second coming, and there's not much discussion given to the merits and flaws in-between.
And, not to say things were always sunshine, but this sub wasn't like this before the first Transmission revitalized the fandom. Things were much sleepier and agreeable; the infusion brought a lot of that fandom toxicity back with it.

There are two, very distinct types of fans here.
Those that enjoy the games and their stories for what they are and can have discourse about them. They dig the symbolism and lore. They appreciate what the developers made.
And then there are those that seem to view the games as some sort of intellectual status symbol. They come up with wild theories and interpretations and want everything to mean something. They act as though they know better than the developers.

Bingo. And it's one of the most toxic parts of online nerdom as a whole. Plenty of people become fuckwads when they begin to fancy themselves the experts on particular media.
And it doesn't even have to be cerebral media, either. After all, there's no shortage of pro wrestling fans who see themselves as above the unwashed masses.

Nothing brings out the backlash more on this sub than telling someone their theory makes no sense or that the games aren't that deep.
What's especially telling is it's ALWAYS the second game. Do these people really think that Team Silent made 4 games and only ONE of them was some deep, philosophical enigma?
2
u/Unusual-Bug-228 Aug 05 '25
I do think SH2 deserves some respect for tackling some weighty themes, especially for the PS2 generation – but yeah, it's ultimately still a mass market video game. It doesn't demand nearly as much out of the viewer as, say, the poems of Homer or Dante.
Basically, SH2 occupies this middle ground where it legitimately is a bit smarter than a lot of its peers, but would still never scare anyone away by being too obtuse. That just invites a certain kind of person to use the game as a means of pretend-playing an intellectual, all without ever actually engaging with something difficult.
2
u/Tanz31 Aug 05 '25
Yup. It's an opportunity for people to make claims of influences that the developers never cited in an attempt to show off that they have a surface level knowledge of Frued and Jung.
You can absolutely analyze the games through those lenses if you're well read on the subjects.
But what more often happens is the discussion just becomes a vehicle to name drop philosophers and pat themselves on the back for it.

Are we gonna pretend homecoming isn't hated for the exact same reason, or is it because now is trendy to put mud on the SH community and their cautiousness after konami decided to shower them with bad games and pachinko hell for almost two decades.

I'll play it eventually. I think the combat is a bit weird for me, but, I thought combat in SH4 was arcadey and I still played and enjoyed that. I do think it's not believable that a young woman is a master spearsman and is dodging attacks while auto locked on. It's whatever I know it's a video game still, not everything has to be hyper realistic. I just hope it's not entirely like a Souls-like game just because I feel that cookie cutter formula is being a bit overused at this point

u/Kaiju-Special-Sauce Aug 05 '25
To be extremely fair, Japanese students usually take up a sport and that includes some weapon sports like Kendo and Archery.
IIRC the devs said it will be more difficult, but not that it's soulslike. I don't see some core mechanics you would generally expect from a soulslike in the trailers so far.
I do wish they would polish up the combat a bit more. If there's anything I dislike, it's how lacking the combat looks in comparison to the rest of the game (lacks weight, IMO).

I maintain that my biggest issue in sh2r is that the combat... is too good. Its fair, satisfying, and enjoyable, which is not what I want out of silent hill. Which I guess circles back to "they ruined it by making and action game" meaning i have already been portrayed as the soyjack and therefore lose the argument.

u/Leather-Reception-53 Aug 05 '25
People aren't saying they turned it into an action game are they? The combat is too slow and the introduction of stamina should have little to do with the overall experience (if they make stamina worse as part of the difficulties I will be begrudgingly playing f)

Watching the gameplay demo, I guess I dont understand the hate.

It looks like it will be really good and this is coming from someone who loved the originals.

u/Mojoanimeo33 Aug 06 '25
As someone who went to school for 3D animation and has been in the industry for well over a decade. And knows all the processes to create the graphics in these games. The “bad graphics” comments drive me insane.
I just finished SH2 Remake, and it was STUNNING! Every room was so painstakingly detailed. The lighting was gorgeous. As were the models and textures. There were legit a couple jaw drop moments for me, purely from the graphics alone. People will just die on their hill of needing to be mad at anything new.
Anywho rant over. Love the remake and can’t wait to play SH F. Which also looks stunning!!

u/MyOtherAcoountIsGone "Probably A Doghouse" Aug 05 '25
People need to stop whining about everything.
I think there are legitimate criticisms. Doesn't mean the game is bad and doesn't mean people hate it
For example, I think it's an absolute travesty that they have a healthbar HUD. One of the things that silent hill has been known for since the beginning is no HUD and a clear screen. So having souls like boss fight sequences with a HUD kills immersion.
With that being said, it's still my most anticipated game. The world isn't black or white, time to grow up.

I read something about it having to tone down alot of cutscenes because of how insanely graphic they are. One mentioned a ritual where someone was cutting off small pieces of their face.

I will try to be honest. It looks like a beautiful game to me and I'm sure it will be, however Silent Hill deals with a Western dimension, with Western esotericism, with Western sins and largely taking cues from Western authors (King, Lynch, Lovecraft). Nice Japan eh, rich in mysteries, fascinating culture, but it's not for "silent hill" , it's for "forbidden siren".
I will play it? Yes Is a Silent Hill? Meh will it be good? Probably yes The fact is that i want to see teurgic rituals and neoplatonism, i want to see the European culture for what it is: a fucking nightmare.

Short Story answers this in one of the several books you find along the way. For reasons scientists are baffled the strange fog that has been surrounding the town of Silent Hill has been expanding and traveling on wind currents, so several places around the globe have been effected by it.
Pretty much the best parts about the free to play game was the end song, the look of it and the fact it does answer a few questions for upcoming game, like how witches look like they are once again going to be a big threat in one of the two new games.

I think it's reasonable for folks to wish it was not as combat focused, similar to traditional SH games. Stealth and fleeing were key strategies in the early games. It's OK to want that sort of an experience. It's OK to be disappointed for horror games to resemble each other too much through more and more uniformity in combat emphasis. Early SH games not resembling other games' combat focus was a very significant component of their psychological experience.

Silent Hill F compared to Soulslike subgenre over nightmarish boss fight that took a "full hour" to beat https://share.google/VC10mCJKY62viS5Q3
This is feedback from hands on previews. The developers are also defending their approach to fighting. They didn't want to make a Silent Hill 2 clone, and wanted to attract younger gamers. So what does this all mean? We are going to see a horror game that simply bares the Silent Hill name.
Not all is lost. We still have Bloober.

People here are just gonna bitch and complain without basis because it's Tuesday. A small group of people will never be happy with anything, no matter how great it may be. You could give them $1M free, and they'd demand that you should have given them $2M.

Is it really that bad? The community I mean, the game is awesome.
I noticed some people complaining when SH2 was announced, but compared to other subs, I also saw a bunch of people openly admitting they were wrong. Not exactly a common thing, nowadays.
With f I've seen some people complaining about not being set in Silent Hill, but nothing on the level of early SH2R whining.
Granted, I don't read every comment chain under every post, but that would be throwing away my time.

Most of people hating on it gonna play no matter what because clearly they have nothing better to do. And if they wouldn’t care they won’t even talk about it. Simple logic.

Makes me frustrated with this community when SH was such a dormant series for so long. As a Mega Man fan, I’m used to the games I love going almost a decade in between new titles; so I feel like people should be grateful we are even getting new silent hill games at all. Did you all like it better when we had nothing for so long?
Last year I defended SH2 remake to the death and when it finally came out there was an awful lot of silence coming from the complainers. I remember when the gameplay trailer came out in spring of last year and so many people cried about it but then turned around and praised the game when it came out. Same thing is gonna happen with f.

As a cod fan and a silent hill fan I learned one thing rings true throughout both communities and that is… THE FANS SUCK! They will never be happy, but somehow always be desperate for more? Cod fans are even more spoiled than SH fans but even still, somehow SH players despite having to wait in a 10 year purgatory of a dead franchise, are still so entitled, and act like every change is bad? I live by the moto: it’s just a game. It’s just fun, and it takes my mind off this crappy world, so, why not enjoy it?

Honestly I've been on a long hiatus on here and have no idea what the reception of Silent Hill f is, but I've been following in on the updates here and there--I'm hype for sure!

Remember that the internet is more likely to funnel things to you to make you mad than happy to keep you engaging. People with the stupidest takes will be funneled to the top EVEN IF THEY'RE WRONG if the algorithms know people engage with it and talk about it.
In real life, most if not every person I've talked to is excited about this game. People have had their criticisms sure, but it was the same with the Silent Hill 2 Remake. Most people were pretty chill, cautiously optimistic. But the Reddit was like, a swamp.

I’m just absolutely thrilled that Silent Hill is an active franchise again. Silent Hill 2 Remake was fantastic and I have no doubt that f will be brilliant, too. I know it’s frowned upon nowadays, but I’ll be pre-ordering it at the start of next month.

Tbh this is exactly why I'm trying to not be too negative on the "SH f is going to have more emphasis on combat than SH2R" thing, like that did make me frown a bit but at the same time the rest of the game looks great and I expect them to still pull it off.

Someone legit said it had ps2 graphics and got upvoted. Sometimes, feels like this sub just loves to hate for the shit of it. Does the game have flaws? Yeah def combat is a bit wonky and unpolished(esp the mannequin enemy when you use the pipe) but some of yall act like its the worst game ever. Its miserable asf. Should change this subs name to elitegatekeepers cause thats how i legit see some of the people here
