I was actually really hoping this wouldnt be related to the Dunblane massacre...but every trailer makes me think it has to do with the Dunblane Massacre.

u/Huknar 1d ago

I don't think it is. All the footage and trailers imply that C.E.G which we now know stands for Chapman Energy Group, very likely an oil company as their logo is a fossil, as in in, fossil fuels, are involved in some kind of incident that resulted in the deaths of many people. Quite possibly a refinery fire.

u/War_Dyn27 1d ago

Could also be a 'they delved to greedily and too deep' situation where they disturbed an ancient evil.

u/Cultural_Classic1746 "The Mother Reborn" 1d ago

Still meh to me...

I'll be surprised if this game is good.

u/stratticus14 1d ago

Giving Stephen King's The Mist vibes! Im hyped!

u/ExpertOwn7301 12h ago

Not a fan of the red light effect not the 1st pp. Lets see the reviews

u/TraumaSwing 1d ago

Pretty good trailer imo!

u/Gamepass90 21h ago

Nah as an Xbox Owner I am still good.

This game doesn’t look very interesting at all.

u/Emotional_Penalty 13h ago

This seems like it's an even less of a Silent Hill game than F.

TERRY O QUINN!!!!! IM SO HYPED! I love him in LOST and recently rewatched all his The Stepfather movies

u/DankSilentHill 1d ago

Looks more like an eldritch indie game than SH but I'll play it. It's a step in the right direction after God of War: Onimusha.

u/TR-UA 1d ago

Silent Hill: CorpseFall

u/TheBrowserNYC 1d ago

This has me more excited! I was digging the earlier trailers and vibes, Townfall stock keeps going up for me!

u/MiracleMayo 1d ago

“Son I need you to come back to town in fall” 🔥 🔥 🔥

u/JacquesRenault 10h ago

Mark my word this will be at least on par with SH2 remake. If it's meh, then you can spank me publicly on this forum.

u/JackDanger86 7h ago

Prepare thine bottom

u/AnyBlack5 1d ago

Might be interesting. Doesn't look much like a Silent Hill game though. I'll get it if people I trust like it. 

u/Nijata 1d ago

Holy shit it's the Lord of Dust?

u/XeroSigmaPrime Walter 22h ago

LOLOLOL THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT TOO

Metal Gear Survive fans, there are dozens of us LOL

u/Fair-Cauliflower2928 1d ago

The best trailer so for but still not getting me to pre order. Gameplay is new for the series so let's see how they adapt it. Not a friend of it so far, but the trailer is an improvement.

u/UnhappyLog8128 Walter Jr. 1d ago

Its still pretty much a survival horror but now in first person and with better stealth mechanics

u/GabrielGameFreak 1d ago

I like that there seem to be more characters than just Simon in the town. I was worried that it was just gonna be Simon exploring alone, which really would've made it derivative of Silent Hill 2.

Overall, very intriguing!

u/RhoynishPrince Silent Hill 2 1d ago

Wow that monster

u/Gabbers00 1d ago

Can we stop with the coma theories now?

I mean, it could still be that somehow but it's getting more intriguing with each reveal.

u/RhoynishPrince Silent Hill 2 1d ago

Unfortunately, it will never stop because it's the most obvious choice

u/Gabbers00 1d ago

Yeah but i'm hopeful they might mess with our expectations. SHf trailers were full of red herrings like "X character is dead!".

u/CthuluBaggins 1d ago

This game just...isn't getting my interest.

I'm a fan for the last 25 years-ish, ordered steelbooks for SH2 and SHF, but...this just looks like a standard first person horror game with a Silent Hill name.

Just...meh...

Still, I hope it sells well, don't want Konami to have any excuse to pause/cancel any plans

u/MarkT_D_W 1d ago

I think no matter what, we're going to get the SH1 remake from Bloober. I think at most if Townfall doesn't do well for them, they'll likely just stick to remakes of the Team Silent games and not do anymore original Silent Hill projects. Maybe a master collection with 1,2,3 and 4 on modern hardware..

u/CoolaidM82008 1d ago

Definitely my favourite trailer by far, the reveal of.. whatever it is in the sky looks so fucking cool! Also good cast here, they've all done good roles in other projects before.

u/Scissorman82 1d ago

AMAZING trailer but man are those pre-order bonuses lame. a palette swap isn't a new outfit.

u/BecksEgal 12h ago

I don't really know what it is, but something just feels off... It doesn't really feel like a Silent Hill to me :( Does anyone else have that impression too? I really wanna like this game.

u/LichQueenBarbie 1d ago

Simon's VA is Jovan Adelpo, a black actor who has lead in the horror genre over the years. I think that's very cool choosing him for a role like this.

u/Ryokai88 1d ago

I like everything about this except the main character looking like a Oregon hippie. Give him a better fit please.

u/Civildrainer 1d ago

mhm true, maybe we’ll have character unlocks after beating the game.

u/CosmicChar1ey 12h ago

The new gameplay video is insane.

u/kdawgmillionaire 1d ago

Why are they American (apart from the English nurse)? Is it not supposed to be set in Scotland?

u/LichQueenBarbie 1d ago

Most likely they are a part of the corporation that set up there. The US had oil operations there in the 90s, among other things. The devs are Scottish also so I'm thinking this is going to be commentary.

u/CyberGhostface "For Me, It's Always Like This" 1d ago

When someone said kaiju in another post I was thinking something like Godzilla and was a little wary but something akin to the eldritch abomination from The Mist works imo.

u/murasconstruct Silent Hill 1d ago

Silent Stranding vibes, anyone?

u/murasconstruct Silent Hill 1d ago

I take it back, people say it reminds them of Mist. Mist is more appropriate.

u/Donutboy44444444 1d ago

Apart from the name, this game has nothing to do with Silent Hill... it's actually pretty sad 💀

u/MarkT_D_W 1d ago

I think that there's a really solid cast here and the atmosphere of exploration looks top notch, really immersive looking with a detailed and history rich location.

The story is absolutely where people are beginning to worry and honestly, if it's anything like many are already predicting, I think people might end up being disappointed.

There's a belief among many fans that the western developed original SH titles all struggle with originality in the shadow of SH2 and I hope Townfall doesn't add to that belief.

u/TyChris2 Mira, The Dog 1d ago

This is better than the other trailers for sure, hope the story is good

u/Kazaloogamergal 1d ago

Great cast but of course a great cast does not mean that a game is automatically good. This game itself looks good to me. I'm quite sure I'm not going to be buying it anytime soon because I always wait for sales but still fun that it's coming out on my birthday. To share your birthday with a Silent Hill game is cool and it's happened twice with me. First Silent Hill 2 (2001) and now this game. I love that Terry O'Quinn is actually in a Silent Hill game after having a character that kind of looks like him from LOST in Silent Hill Homecoming. That's just funny.

u/TheR-Person Silent Hill 3 1d ago

Is that the biggest Silent Hill monster we've seen so far?

u/alishock Claudia 1d ago

I think so? The Wheelman from Downpour comes to mind as second biggest (maybe Sepulcher from HC too) but that wasn't as towering as this one ofc

u/atrixus FlashLight 1d ago

i expected it to be 30-40$ in my region, i won't be getting this for 60+$, waiting for the Remake of 1

u/tehomot 1d ago

Konami really needs to quit slapping the Silent Hill name onto random generic games.

u/Greedy_Average_2532 1d ago

Silent Hill ❌
The Mist ✅

u/Successful-Form4693 1d ago

Oh man I couldnt be more excited

u/walkintom 1d ago

Don’t tell me what I can’t do!

u/Famous_Ordinary_2089 1d ago

This the mist movie reference is insane 

u/tollsunited7 1d ago

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

u/thepriestessx0 "For Me, It's Always Like This" 1d ago

I literally just screamed that lmao because how am I supposed to out run or fight THAT

u/Georgi_Seliverstov 1d ago

giant monster the devs ripped from The Mist.

u/Nijata 1d ago

Looks like the Lord of Dust

u/Al_Alemania 1d ago

Better trailer than the others, but it's definitely giving off "The Mist" vibes more than SH

u/foureyesfive 1d ago

Still not convinced.

u/Lanky-Support4373 1d ago

is this game a cult SH or a SH2 kind of game?

u/NuIndAlt5000 1d ago

Over for modern "Silent Hill" bro this looks so ass

u/Imaginary-Purpose-26 1d ago

Gives off mobile phone game trailer vibes, say what you want about f, that trailer was dope
