It's been quite a while since we had TWO triple-A (or are they really?) survival horror releases in the same month. Not only that, but we're talking about brand new titles that are not remakes of old classics. We be eating good next month.

Will you catch'em all though? If not, which will you choose?

- The newly-crowned genre darlings Bloober, that redefined themselves with Silent Hill 2 after mid-to-ok walking sims:



- The new and rather risky direction of the franchise that gave us some of the greatest games not only in survival horror, but gaming in general:

 

[R6Rider]

Both eventually, but want to get Cronos first. New IP, and sci-fi. Will be waiting to see how it turns out being buying though.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I voted for Cronos but i will play both eventually.

 

[Punished Miku]

I will 100% play both eventually.

Cronos is a wait for sale. It looks fine.

Silent Hill f, despite me thinking there is zero chance of getting it day 1, I am actually considering it. The latest footage looks really good. 1st Japanese made Unreal 5 game ever I think. Play Anywhere title. If it reviews well and I'm not buried in other games, I might get it day 1. If not, I will get it very soon.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Probably both if they're decent. Cronos is giving me super mega MID AF vibes while Silent Hill F is a massive unknown. Could be utter shit.

 

[adamsapple]

Silent Hill f is first priority, Cronos looks ehhhh.

 

[Kacho]

I voted Silent Hill f but I'll get both. I'm not getting Cronos at launch because I'll be too busy playing Everybody's Golf.

 

[Valt7786]

Both are day 1 for me unless reviews etc say they're total dogshit.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Interested in both.

Haven't decided when will I play them. Doesn't seem like will be able to.

 

[ssringo]

Unless player feedback is overwhelmingly positive I won't be there for either launch. Chronos loses me with the MC design and Bloober only did well with someone else's blueprint while Silent Hill loses me with the price and lack of confidence in the developer. Admittedly, the same happened with SH2R which i did eventually get and enjoy but that was well after launch. Plus there's other games that have or will have my attention.

Edit: Halloween time is a possibility but there are a couple other releases that I have already planned as my Halloween games.

 

[CosmicHusky]

Had the opportunity to try out Cronos and see some theater show of Silent Hill f and it's clear already that Silent Hill f is going to be a failure.

Enjoy!

 

[Danjin44]

I'm getting both.

 

[EerieArcade]

Will grab Silent Hill first. Really like the setting, which is the main reason I'm going for it first.

 

[Gonzito]

I am getting both papi

 

[Hyet]

Silent Hill F looks better to me, but I'm keeping my eye in Chronos too. Looks a little ugly and basic but has a ton of potential. I want to read some opinions before I get it.
Not getting any at lauch, though

 

[Pharaoh 117]

Silent Hill f for me. Will wait for more impressions later but the more they show Cronos the less interested I get.

 

[Connificent]

This is AA territory. Already pre-ordered SHF. Im not feeling Chronos just yet but I have faith in Bloober.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Will get SH first and Cronos prolly in October. If the reviews are good for both that is.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Getting both eventually. After I finish Silent Hill 2 and Dead Space remakes.

 

[Darsxx82]

Interested in both, but after the last gameplay...... I think Cronos has raised my interest but SH f not so much.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Both eventually, maybe one over the other first, but it all depends on the outcome and pricing.

 

[J3nga]

Both with early access, they're 3 or so weeks apart, more than enough to finish Cronos

 

[CrimsonTide]

They are both coming just in time for Halloween season, will def have both at some point in time for Halloween gaming.

 

[Elios83]

I ended up pre-ordering SH f, the Gamescom trailer was fantastic.
I'm willing to play Cronos as well if it's good but not at launch.

 

[Luipadre]

 

[coffinbirth]

Cronos not having an Xbox physical release is bullshit though, and because of this I will wait for a sale. I might get the PS5 physical copy eventually, but I'm trying to keep my PS5 library all digital aside from exclusives. I assume the Switch 2 version will be a game key card, and will be the worst version.

I really need to stop buying physical games, haha.

 

[Danjin44]

I thought that at first but in retail release said it coming out in 19th but the official date is 5th.

I have no idea when this game is officially coming out.

5th standard, 3rd EA.

 

[analog_future]

The more I see of both of them, the more they look like 7.5/10 type games. I plan to play both but probably not at launch, unless reviews are surprisingly good.

 

[Baemono]

You forgot the scariest of all: the Swtich 2 port of FC26

 

[Gitaroo]

Any hands on preview reported on the PC performance of either games? I fear SH F may have 30fps lock for cut scenes which I hate.

Not that I'm aware of. I guess we'll have to wait DF's analysis right before their respective release dates.

What? You want a physical version for Xbox but not PS? Yet you say you should stop buying physical games? Are you ok?

 

[Arachnid]

Getting both but voted for Silent Hill cuz I gotta have my bois back

 

[Gitaroo]

Alex mentioned some stutter with Cronos in this week DF direct I think.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

I'm a pretty big survival horror fan, but both are not really speaking to me.

I had high hopes for Chronos, but the gameplay looks so simplistic. It's very Dead Space in a Silent Hill setting and without the dismemberment.

SH F(uuuuck) looks more like an action RPG than a true survival horror.
Maybe I'm wrong, though. But the hype here is zero.

 

[DragoonKain]

I thought that at first but in retail release said it coming out in 19th but the official date is 5th.

I have no idea when this game is officially coming out.

Yeah, this is the case with the Hell is Us deluxe edition too. Although the standard still has the normal launch date. Problem is, seeing two different release dates. One 9/29 and the other 10/13 for Hell is Us.

But I'll be getting both Silent Hill and Cronos.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Both.

I'M FUCKING RICH

 

[YeulEmeralda]

I don't play games on release, I think I'll pick up Silent Hill at some point in the next two years.

 

[Aion002]

At launch I think I will get Silent Hill F since it is a play anywhere title, so I can play on my laptop and on my Series S.

I am not a huge fan of Silent Hill, but this one seems interesting to me, because it kinda reminds me of Siren and Kuon, two games that I love.

I might even buy a physical copy for PS5.

 

[Hunter 99]

Both day 1. Steelbook silent hill amazon and cronos physical. Also tormented souls 2 in October!

 

[Zacfoldor]

Waiting on reviews but expectations are high! When they said SH had soulslike elements that sold me for sure. I'll take negative reviews about that one with a grain of salt. I think it will be legendary.

 

[Killer8]

Latest Cronos gameplay looked bad. I have a physical on pre-order but i'm going to wait for impressions to hit before unwrapping.

So with that in mind: Silent Hill f.

 

[Sanepar]

Both with 50% off in 6 months.

 

[Superposition]

 

[Nocty]

I'll never buy a game at launch knowing it will be ~50% cheaper very soon after release. There are far too many games to play as it is and buying new doesn't make any financial sense these days.

 

[Flabagast]

Getting both day one if they review well (>75MC even if I really don't care a lot about MC)

 

[adamsapple]

Damn, I wanna be in the middle of those Silent Hills.

 

[Terenty]

Neither, both look mediocre

 

[KiteGr]

I Don't buy games at launch.
