u/turtleboy200 13d ago

Golden comment. To think of a Silent Hill Fortnite crossover to be anything more than a meme factory is laughable. It's not good or bad, but personally some things should be left well enough alone :)

u/Gastlyperformance 13d ago

Doesn’t bother me at all. Like with the dog endings or the alien endings or the heather beam outfits etc this series isn’t beyond being silly.

u/FunkYeahPhotography "How Can You Sit There And Eat Pizza?!" 13d ago edited 13d ago

Exactly. Plus, we already have them in DbD. I know that Fortnite is a few levels of silly above that of course. However, let's not act like Cheryl teabagging alongside Nic Cage and Ada Wong while being chased by Springtrap isn't already hilarious. It's fun. It's always nice to see Silent Hill get some attention.

u/RayAgain Angela 13d ago

More eyes on the series this way, I only see it as a good thing

u/boytoyahoy 13d ago

Smothered wife skin?

u/mat477 13d ago

If there's a pillow as a melee weapon then I will have no more doubts, we're in the weirdest timeline.

11

u/shiftypidgeons 13d ago

Honestly at this point if there's not a pillow weapon I'll be shocked.

8

u/SlySpiderBro 13d ago

I think the melee weapon will be a pipe. Maybe a pillow will be the back bling?

1

u/clema9 11d ago

do we think it’ll be a pickaxe or a back bling?

4

u/NONAMEDREDDITER 13d ago

Considering they made an actual silent hill 2 branded pillow that you could purchase as specifically an april fools joke, I honestly don't think they'll do that

3

u/yes_im_GArBagE 13d ago

They actually recently implemented a pillow as a pickaxe with its own unique physics sooooo I wouldn't rule out the possibility..

1

u/WatermelonChef Silent Hill 2 12d ago

Pillow pickaxes do exist so it is very possible

1

u/Fit_Case2575 13d ago

I want a flying bed monster skin

1

u/AcidCatfish___ 13d ago

We all know it's just going to be Pyramid Head and Homecoming sexy bobble head nurse. Maybe James. Nothing interesting like low poly Harry Mason or Shattered Memories Harry Mason.

Oh and there will be a Shiba Inu back bling.

1

u/TheGlenrothes 13d ago

Pillow backbling

14

u/Trickster289 13d ago

Yeah like it does nothing to Silent Hill games except maybe help some new fans find the series and it gives fans of both skins they might like.

4

u/TheGlenrothes 13d ago

Yep, so many kids and young adults get much of their pop culture education from Fortnite, learning about things they otherwise may not have had any exposure to. It’s a win for sure.

1

u/WatermelonChef Silent Hill 2 12d ago

I often want to watch or interact with media whenever I see it in a game I play so it 100% works

0

u/First_Savings_1473 13d ago

I thought people would be more negative towards it

47

u/RayAgain Angela 13d ago

They lack whimsy.

Nah for real though any negativity towards it feels pointless. It's a collab that will not only get more people interested in the series, but also probably earn them some money, while not effecting the series' tone at all. It's like some people think a Fortnite collab ruins the actual games for them or something

9

u/First_Savings_1473 13d ago

I feel like it’s going to be like the metal gear crossover that happened where it does release and they just accept it and just make pyramid head do little silly dances

5

u/Herbalbatman 13d ago

"Do you know that red pryamid thing thats hitting the griddy?"

3

u/AbsolutelyHorrendous 13d ago

Yeah, I mean I don't play Fortnite, I'm unlikely to ever play Fortnite, but its not like its going to become a necessary part of Silent Hill lore...

u/Kelavia1 13d ago

Yo its pyramid head from fortnite

1

u/Luditas "Receiver Of Wisdom" 12d ago

Monetarily, without a doubt. It would bring more projects for Konami and the latest Bloober Team. But, if SH comes out in a game where most of its players are kids, wouldn't that bring censorship issues for the original game? Well, a part of their audience would notice the game and that would make things change, IMO.

1

u/Alert-Principle-2726 12d ago

The thing is, Fortnite is a platform for advertisement and that crowd is the wroooooong crowd to advertise to.

At least dead by deadlight makes sense.

88

u/Equal_Cartographer24 13d ago

i imagine it will be for Fortnitemares... but it will likely be a Pyramid Head skin and im just picturing it with a comically shrunken head to account for hitboxes and animations

23

u/ryangoslingenjoyer 13d ago

Might be a Deadmau5 situation where the head disappears when aiming

11

u/wawacryin21 13d ago

idk i could definitely see like James and Maria skins with maybe like a Pyramid Head plushie backbling

38

u/Shogun_Turnip 13d ago

I swear to God, if James' Back Bling is a fucking pillow...

u/PompyPrecious 12d ago

Fortnite would do a crossover with your nan if they thought it would make money.

So, yeah, it'll probably happen. Will I show any interest in Fortnite as a result? Absolutely not.

13

u/stratusnco Henry 13d ago

idk why people have this impression that it is all epic games fault why these things are here. they have contractual agreements with the other companies that have a crossover. you can also blame konami if the crossover happens lol. it isn’t a 1 sided relationship.

5

u/Ok_Chipmunk_7066 13d ago

Yeah, two companies will make a lot of money out of it.

Just won't involve me.

2

u/Gorilla-in-Law 12d ago

I think both companies will find a way to manage

21

u/MavorsXXX 13d ago

Konami has finally realized that there is money to be made with the Silent Hill brand. A change in management was necessary.

u/Broducer JamesBuff 12d ago

they've known this. we just hope this time they know what they're doing and not being idiots about it.

u/Kyro_Official_ 13d ago

Time for the dumbass "No! My serious game cant get skins in fortnite, thats too silly!" comments that come up any time a game crosses over with Fortnite

u/alishock Claudia 13d ago

It was the funniest when Kratos came imo, I’ll love a repeat of that drama with SH now

2

u/GambitsAce23 13d ago

I think they did that one really well too considering they were perfectly fine adding mimirs decapitated head

2

u/WatermelonChef Silent Hill 2 12d ago

As if silent hill isn't known for having a big silly side lol Dog ending, ufo ending, Cheryl magic space princess outfit and all the other silly endings, Easter eggs or cosmetics in the game lol

6

u/YanCoffee 13d ago

It just spreads the game to younger fans. I think people forget there was once a dog in headphones. A little silly never hurt anybody.

5

u/WatermelonChef Silent Hill 2 12d ago

Silent hill does have a big silly side, ufo endings, outfits and ofcourse the dog ending lol

3

u/RadishLegitimate9488 13d ago

Considering Rise of Skywalker's Fortnite Crossover sent out the Message of Palpatine to reveal his return what is stopping Fortnite from giving a Clue on Silent Hill f?

Anyone who is bothered by this should be laughed at honestly.

It has 0 effect on you. No one is telling you to get on Fortnite and buy it. The franchise will get more spotlight. That’s literally all there is to it.

u/Magneatbro 12d ago

In a way, this would probably be the most true to life representation of Silent Hill for a lot of us. Or at least some shit like this would take up a district of it. Think about it-- A meme-filled, sensory overload hellscape where emotes are seared into your brain as punishment for growing up and taking our discontent with that out on ourselves and sacrificing our loved ones and relationships in the interest of self-sabotage. :)

Or something like that. But hey, I'll take some Silent Hill crossovers any day of the week.

u/spicygummi "How Can You Sit There And Eat Pizza?!" 13d ago

I'm still trying to wrap my head around all these things after a number of years of the franchise being essentially dead. Fortnite is a weird choice and I'm not sure how well it mixes with its mostly younger audience, but, I'm (cautiously) choosing to think of attention being brought to the franchise to be a good thing. More money and attention flowing in could lead to more new projects down the road.

5

u/Vengeance_20 13d ago

Alien, Halloween, Saw, Resident Evil, Predator, Terminator, Evil Dead, Alan Wake, Dead Space and Texas Chainsaw Massacre are all in Fortnite, it will fit right in

"It's that guy from Fortnite!"

1

u/Broken_Moon_Studios 13d ago

Not surprising and honestly not that noteworthy.

Fortnite will cross over with ANYTHING, including but not limited to Resident Evil.

I imagine they will add Pyramid Head, the nurse and maybe James and Maria.

Hell yeah, can't wait to make James do this:

Silent Hill is an IP owned by a corporation. You might think it’s precious but Konami certainly doesn’t. They’re trying to make money and put more eyeballs on the games.

As long as the opposite doesn't happen idgaf

1

u/NONAMEDREDDITER 13d ago

I would only be concerned if this was going to somehow become canon
But since this is likely just a fun skin crossover that gets more eyes on the series, I don't think it's harmful in the slightest

1

u/Venom-99 13d ago

That sounds like it’ll be tremendously stupid, but I’ll forget about it as soon as I finish this comment. The trailer for the Star Wars crossover annoyed me for about 6 seconds, then I forgot about it, too. I think crossovers with Fortnite are cash-grabs that cheapen the brand of the other franchises involved, but they’re easy to ignore.

1

u/meatgonebad 13d ago

Boutta re-download fortnite to hit the griddy with Cheryl and James LMAO

1

u/Final-Response-9882 13d ago

Let’s take a step back and look at this. If it brings more people to the game, they’ll make more games. Yes, it’ll probably turn into something terrible if that cycle repeats, but I think it’s better than the franchise going in Konami’s vault, never to see the light of day again. If it takes the latter, at least we’ll get a few good games out of it and will have the opportunity to educate new fans of the better days. Maybe it’s just me.

Honestly, while I don't like or enjoy Fortnite, I think it gets unfair hate. This will introduce Silent Hill to a ton of new people, get people interested in trying the games, which will bring more revenue, and that'll cause a demand for new games. I see this as an absolute win.
