I’m usually against the guy that’s resistant to change, but I don’t love where Konami is letting theSilent Hillfranchise go to.
Here’s what Tomm Hulett, Senior Associate Producer for upcoming PS Vita gameSilent Hill: Book of Memories, says in this new trailer for the game:
Book of Memoriesis a big departure for the series, focusing on cooperative multiplayer action rather than traditional psychological horror.
That sentence alone is scarier than any horror moment in any of the franchise games.I was already concernedwhen I heard the game would be a top-down multiplayer affair, but now that I’ve seen this early game footage I feeldirty.
Hulett says that “fans needn’t worry.” How could we not worry? Seeing area attacks, hit points flying up and the re-usage of old character assets (again!) has mereallyworried. You think cashing in on another Pyramid Head appearance is a selling point?
Maybe this game would be good if it was something else that wasn’t all up in the Silent Hill world, abusing its history.
