You have to admit that it would be eons better than the disgusting pozzed ESG goyslop cashgrab it has become with the Ascension turd and the unnecessary SH2 remake. Those games are a fricking disgrace. The devs behind them should be executed.
>Ah yes so that it can instantly turn into some cheesy hollywood script with hollywood actors showing pretentious mimics
That's not what Kojima does. Kojima is a sub-70 IQ cretin who is so moronic that he thinks that everyone else is dumber than he is, and so all storytelling he ever comes up with hamfists every millisecond of plot and painstakingly exposits away all of the worldbuilding in direct character monologues where someone talks to the protagonist on the phone. That's what Kojima would do to Silent Hill. He would try to turn it into something that single-celled organisms can easily grasp because he's so imbecilic himself that things written like the Teletubbies sound like artful prose.
Oh, and all of the characters would be named after simple English adjectives that transparently represent the most immediately apparent characteristic of those characters.
Stop at the third game. Leave it alone, never to be tarnished as it has been over the years.
It didn't need to be a franchise. Would have been perfect as a trilogy.
original team and a FRICKHUGE budget and total creative freedom
nudity, on-screen rape, guts, cannibalism, anything and everything
but keep it simple
it's just silent hill, like 1 and 2, no bullshit, no gimmicks, no toilet worlds or personality tests
just a good fricking game
something like stranger things
MAYBE a shift in direction for ONE game as an experiment
basically, just make RE in Silent Hill, a much more action-oriented game, but still horror
alright, another experiment
twin peaks, but silent hill
fully explorable town, you can enter houses, and it's more populated
Fully explorable with larger number of NPC's (like no more than 10) would be interesting. More action oriented is a big no but better controls are a must. No more of this "it's dogshit on purpose lmao". >no toilet worlds
Just toilet treasures?
Also sex appeal unironically. Not enough fiction in general does body horror that also tries to be genuinely arousing. That mix is so hard to pull off and I think SH is the perfect place to make people upset in that way.
Give it to a competent Jap dev that's really into Americana. That's all there is to it. People like to pretend that making a good SH game is some sort of hard task but really that's just because we're so used to getting shitty or unremarkable western attempts made by no name studios. The fact that the best "game" that came out of this franchise after sh4 is a small demo made by Kojima's studio is proof of this. I mean shit even a jap game like the evil withing completely mogs every western silent hill game in terms of art direction and a lot of people don't even like that game.
>TEW >""Good""
homie, you high or something? Not only was that shit awful, it also outed Mikami as the hack he always was, proving that it was his old team that salvaged RE back in the day.
I didn't say it was good. I said it had better art direction than all of the western SH attempts, though you might as well say that it plays better than the western SH games as well because most of them play like shit.
tbh yeah, half of what makes sh good is japanese portrayal of american culture, balances with the unsettling horror vibes really well. no more american studios should be allowed to touch SH. at this point idc if swery makes the next game.
Assuming i had the resources, I'd try to revise its history. I would go on a DMCA notice rampage trying to eliminate any and all online evidence that the series continued beyond the fourth game, along with trying to obtain and destroy all remaining physical copies of entries beyond that point. I'd remain diligent in this effort. I'd spread misinformation that those later entries were unsanctioned fan projects.
Then I'd deny any further development to let the series rest in dignity.
Homecoming's bosses were the best aspect to the game from a visual and gameplay perspective. Not saying much but in a series with notoriously shitty bosses, it stood out. Really the creature designs in Homecoming overall were bretty decent, clones not withstanding.
Too bad about the other 90% of the game being flaming dogshit flying into your eyeballs at 20 trillion meters a second.
Remake the first game unironically and work toward remaking the whole franchise from there, remakes dont have to be bad, but that boat already sailed when they decided to remake the overrated game with a literal who studio
0 just felt like a worse version of 3 honestly, and the breakable weapons where annoying as frick. HC over 4 because I somehow enjoyed HC more, though 4 is probably objectively better.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ascension ends up being the most profitable "game" in the series
I ran some numbers and they're making anywhere between 20,000 to 50,000 dollars per fake choice, they have 2-3 fake choices per night, and it's supposed to run for 6 months
>Port SH1-4 to PC properly
-For SH1 I get it. It should be ported.
-For SH2, nobody can port it better than what Enhanced Edition is, unless Konami shows some balls and just claims all of it as their own content because frick you we own the IP take our millionnaire lawyers in court
-For SH3, no action is necessary because the original PC port works even on Windows 11 out of the box
-SH4 was semi-recently ported again and can be bought in GOG.
Kojima
Yeah, pt was scary.
I don't want to pretend Silent Hill is super subtle, but Kojima is the absolute worse option for a subtle horror game
You have to admit that it would be eons better than the disgusting pozzed ESG goyslop cashgrab it has become with the Ascension turd and the unnecessary SH2 remake. Those games are a fricking disgrace. The devs behind them should be executed.
By letting it die and pretending games after 4 didn't happen? Nothing is broken about the first four, just let it rest.
Ah yes so that it can instantly turn into some cheesy Hollywood script with hollywood actors showing pretentious mimics

fippy bippy
making a new IP thats originals and inspired by it, but leans towards having its own originality to it.
Silent Hill isn't broken, literally all of the games are good/great.
I would add some noise and scale down the Hill aspects of the game so it's more of a Loud Mound
Delete every game released after SH4.
midwit take
troony dilater with no arguments.
NTA but 4 is a troony game, doesn't even have tank controls
It's still a better game than anything that followed. Especially 0 or Downpoor.
correct
commit irl murder to make an ARG with a SH game

Stop at the third game. Leave it alone, never to be tarnished as it has been over the years.

Make it into small 1 or 2 hour episode/games with scripts plagiarized from the Twilight Zone.

genuinely cucked. The Evil Within IS a bad game, but it's soulful.
I didn't say it was good. I said it had better art direction than all of the western SH attempts, though you might as well say that it plays better than the western SH games as well because most of them play like shit.
tbh yeah, half of what makes sh good is japanese portrayal of american culture, balances with the unsettling horror vibes really well. no more american studios should be allowed to touch SH. at this point idc if swery makes the next game.
Give it back to Japanese developers and don't let any American near it.

home coming had cool bosses

Too bad about the other 90% of the game being flaming dogshit flying into your eyeballs at 20 trillion meters a second.
make it open world, add crafting and survival mechanics and preorder bonus skins
Remake the first game unironically and work toward remaking the whole franchise from there, remakes dont have to be bad, but that boat already sailed when they decided to remake the overrated game with a literal who studio
Go and frick yourself, moron.
cry me a river
genuinely seething lol. bet you have tears in your eyes rn
>no u
You lost.
*rapes you*
*enjoys it*
lmao shut the frick up, homosexual
Honestly?
I would just leave it alone. All the Silent Hill games post Silent Hill 4 have been an abomination of mankind.
Konami has no clue what makes SH work, let alone why people like it so much.
heather?
I liked Homecoming unironically
3 > 1 > 2 > HC > 4 > SM >>>>>>>>> everything else
>How do you fix it?
Stop making games, let the franchise die
there is something wrong with you, anon, and that's okay. I don't hold it against you
You liked 3 and 1 but not 0? HC over 4? I'm struggling here anon. Please, explain.
>let the franchise die
But muh pachinko.
0 just felt like a worse version of 3 honestly, and the breakable weapons where annoying as frick. HC over 4 because I somehow enjoyed HC more, though 4 is probably objectively better.
Silent Hill still a franchise?
Magical girl anime with Heather
I wouldn't be surprised if Ascension ends up being the most profitable "game" in the series
I ran some numbers and they're making anywhere between 20,000 to 50,000 dollars per fake choice, they have 2-3 fake choices per night, and it's supposed to run for 6 months
people still give a shit about ascension?
...
people gave a shit about ascension at all in the first place (beyond making fun of it)?
You underestimate whales
I refuse to believe that anyone is actually spending money on Ascension.
>but my numbers
bots
imitate alan wake 2, minus the token black
clear the canon except for Downpour then go with Downpour as the base for everything moving forward

>not bundled
>not bundled on steam
>not bundled on steam for a cool 49.99 plus shipping and handling plus tip plus tax
They havn't been ported yet.
Silent Hill hasn't been good since SH3. give the series a rest
>implying it needs "fixing"
The series stopped when team silent stopped making them, and those 4 games don't need """fixing"""
>le team silent
Never existed. Different people worked on every game.
Hire the teams that made those SH inspired Half-life mods and Gmod maps
Basically all of these Source engine devs
In Sound Mind was not really all that scary, atmospheric or even creepy though. More sad than anything
Yeah and it's not a source game but it's made by We Create Stuff members and those guys are standout source devs
It's a game series that has more mid titles than good ones, but the good ones were *so* good that it basically saved the series' reputation.
Add hookers, guns, make it free roam, no Black folk, more monsters and make it Yakuza dead souls
>how would you fix this franchise?
kill all konami executives
virtual reality ports of 1-4
