Disappointing, but kind of what I expected.
At least we'll get trailers out of it, and hopefully a small walk through.
Been fun reading this thread. It's been literally less than a week since I FINALLY played and finished SH1 and SH2 for the first time (and I'm currently playing SH3 for the first time) and as someone who just isn't generally into survival horror and survival horror combat in particular (before these, The Evil Within and RE8 were the only survival horror games I have genuinely enjoyed and even those mostly because of their stories), I honestly think SH combat is... perfectly fine. It's extremely simple but it does its job without ever getting in your way. I really wouldn't even call anything about it janky, you just hold R2 and push X and that's it. It works exactly as you would expect, and it makes sense for the game and the characters.
It's really disappointing to hear the later games tried to "improve" the combat and I'm hoping that, whatever it is that we're getting here, it'll have a nice, simple, straightforward combat system like SH1-3. If not, I hope it at least has the very easy difficulty level SH2's director's cut had.
SH2 was fucking incredible, btw, like holy shit. It has been a LONG time since a video game made me cry and I now totally get why folks think it has one of the best stories ever. SH1 was shockingly good too, the visuals and atmosphere and presentation for a PS1 game was just, wow. Almost want to make an LTTP thread for the Team Silent games when I'm done but I'm sure anything I might say has been said a million times already lol.

They called it a transmission though, right? Like, maybe it's not live but it might be at least a video?
I'm so confused
It's 10pm in the UK, but if you google the time and the zone (2pm PDT) google will tell you in your local time.
Hopefully getting the information means people can stop paying attention to certain leakers, too.
Aren't there supposedly three games being made using the SH license as per Dusk Golem ? If so wonder how many they plan on showing/announcing on the stream. Or maybe the demo thing (Short Message) is considered one of them since it has its own rating classification? I probably got a lot of this wrong from memory lol.
If any of that is right I would assume the full new game is whatever Ito is working on that had the leaked concept art, Short Message is the demo for that, and the other one is either Bloober/Annapurna project that's SH2 remake. Just spitballing, I really have no clue.

If there's gameplay of whatever Silent Hill game we see, there better be some locked doors.
Lmao, I'm maybe 45 minutes into SH3 but the amount of locked doors I've come across is already legendary
I just realize this shit starts at 5am my local time and 6am JST
They're definitely aiming for the western audience so maybe it won't be a typical JP stream?

I cannot believe we no longer have to see this series in our restless dreams after today.
The hole is back!

That's a fucking hilarious boxart lmao
I think this is my favourite trope of the series. It makes the most sense given that the Silent Hill that we see in the games isn't really necessarily "real", like nobody lived in those appartments or whatever.
Just like the game designer deciding to keep some doors locked to railroad you a certain way, you could just as easily assume that's what Alessa or the town itself is doing to the visitor.
We also have precedence for some doors being locked for some people, and open for others.

haha, I love it.
I want to be excited for this, but the moment I see Bloober's remake of Silent Hill 2 announced, I know I'm going to want to be skewered by Pyramid Head's big rusty knife.
Fingers crossed for something good. Even a remaster of Downpour would be welcomed.

You can't keep getting away with this
Yeah but then again it's better than Silent Hill Origins.
The "Origins" moniker is just death
That is a much longer conference than I thought. That's longer than Sonys last showcase! I was thinking 20 minutes tops.
48 mins!!!
WTF!!!! It's a bunch behind the scenes interviews right? Lol
