Yeah, short message was doodoo. It was a good looking jumble of nonsense. Maybe I'm not the target audience and Konami is trying to appeal to the younger folks but this missed the mark for me and I think of the entire silent hill theme. Yeah you can argue the silent hill 2 delved into similar topics, but that's the point. Konami and all the other studios who worked on silent hill all copied that formula. At this point we've been beating a dead horse and I want something different. And I want something that ACTUALLY takes place in silent hill and ACTUALLY is silent hill. Fog and depression alone isn't the make of a good silent hill game.
Yes I agree that we should go back to the town of silent hill, and tbh I don’t like that they are trying to make silent hill a phenomenon instead of a location. I get why they are doing it as they want the games to take place in new locations. Short message was a different take on silent hill that only makes me optimistic about how it’s about the main characters guilt but that doesn’t mean it was perfect. I just hope that they make better stories for the next instalments that are like the originals because they were the best. Something original that doesn’t stray too far from what made silent hill great to begin with.
@@genesisbandit I personally like the idea of it being a phenomenon. You can only solely visit the same town a certain amount of times and add new locations in the surrounding area of SH before you've basically done everything and it becomes stale. Now if they can make the idea work then that be great bit we will just have to wait and see what else they'll try in SH F and future projects and I'm praying the SH 2 remake won't suck. 🙏
It’s not that I dislike the ability to use new locations it’s more that it made it out that everything is all in the characters head when we know that isn’t true, but I’m open to the idea of using new locations if done correctly
Everything we see is a manifestation caused by the otherworld, the monsters are related to the characters trauma but not only seen by them as other can also see them
Short message has a much better understanding than all the American studios and other non Japanese studios who made Hoemcoming, Downpour and Book of Memories, ect. The game has its own unique identity and can stand on it's own feet and a step into the right direction for the franchise unlike SH Ascension which was a massive misfire. I hope they continue to build off what the Short Message laid down.
I 100% agree, couldn’t say it better myself. It’s a great modern take on silent hill that is way better than anything that was made after team silent disbanded as it understood what silent hill was. I get why some people dislike it but hating on it as it’s not exactly like the originals is very close minded.
Idk I'm a huge resident evil fan even more so than I'm a fan of silent Hill but the main reason I like silent Hill as much as I do is because it's approach at survival horror has always been very different compared to resident evils with most silent Hill games telling an original story using the town itself as both an entity and a set piece to trap the characters although some of the games are connected origins, 1 & 3 are all directly connected
The looping aesthetic would’ve gotten old this was a better option unless they had a good deeper story for pt about a car accident and other things that’s as far as they planned to take it.
Silent Hill died after 4. How many times does everyone have to learn that lesson? It's gone. It's not coming back. Team silent is gone. You're not getting another silent hill game.
short message was so bad, sat through the 2hr demo that overstayed its welcome. Very concerned with the direction they're going. Tho I did like the part where it went classic silent hill with the walls and floor, and the living room part, otherwise the rest so cringe
I wouldn’t call it bad but it wasn’t the greatest, but still told a good narrative, the complaining about not having followers was pretty cringe but I’m just glad that the monster was original instead of using stuff from old games, I’m hoping future entries do better though. At least short message was free.

Isn't that true though? I pretty sure everything such as the monsters are in the character's heads@@genesisbandit

Origins and Shattered Memories were done by a BRITISH studio.
Honestly, at this point, i just want a good old classic psychological horror game from Silent Hill that has SOME tie in with the original games.
Same to be honest. I love how resident evil connect their stories and I wish silent hill do something similar.

I wish we got Silent Hills aka PT instead of SHTSM
The looping aesthetic would’ve gotten old this was a better option unless they had a good deeper story for pt about a car accident and other things that’s as far as they planned to take it.
@@brentpeterson918 Silent Hills looked interesting and the fact Norman Reedus was gonna do voice acting in it made me really want to play the game
Good video!
sh1-3 mastepieces from 4 and on downhill slope short message is not a silent hill game does it take place in silent hill like at all no
