Excellent news everybody: we have much more Silent Hill: Townfall to assist fill the void till its launch. However as a substitute of a brief story or teaser trailer, we have now 18 minutes of poor outdated Simon Ordell wandering across the deserted (and more and more hostile) city of St. Amelia.
It is the primary prolonged reduce of playthrough we have seen for Townfall, and it didn’t disappoint. The vibes, setting, and grotesque monsters all appear on level for a Silent Hill recreation, with the small exception of the sport’s firearms.

I do not suppose Simon’s dealing with of the revolver was significantly disastrous. However after having fun with Silent Hill f, which had no weapons, seeing Simon execute monsters in seconds jogged my memory why I desire good old school melee fights.

I like struggling in Silent Hill video games. I like being pushed to my limits, being put in nearly not possible conditions, and having to stand up shut and private with the disgusting issues I discover wandering round within the fog. Whereas there are by no means often a number of weapons to be discovered, I nonetheless suppose they offer gamers a straightforward means out of fight that may smash the strain and concern from being always on the backfoot.
I can solely consider one horror recreation that manages to remain terrifying whereas additionally giving its protagonist entry to a gun—Amnesia: The Bunker—and even then I felt infinitely extra assured after I managed to scrounge up extra ammo. That does not imply video games cannot nonetheless be aggravating. There’s few issues worse than firing at an enemy which is getting nearer, solely to expire of bullets earlier than you handle to down it, but it surely’s a unique form of concern, one which I am extra used to seeing in sequence like Resident Evil moderately than Silent Hill.

Weapons apart, the remainder of the trailer appeared excellent. I attempt to not get my hopes up too excessive earlier than I’ve performed a recreation, however I’m really morbidly excited to discover the city of St. Amelia, particularly after seeing its blood purple fog and unusually nostalgic streets.
