It’s wild that people thinking art is inherently an endorsement of its subject matter is a big enough problem that games need to remind people not to be morons. Media literacy is cooked, COVID really scrambled some nogginsKonami wrote an entire paragraph trigger warning:
If you want I can show you some 90s and 2000s cartoons with similar warnings. 4kids used to be well known not only for their warnings, but also edits and script changes to multiple anime.
Censorship sucks, whether it comes from the Left or the Right.
UK retailers are getting an exclusive steel book .. fuck this, we need this in the US too !
Konami wrote an entire paragraph trigger warning:
Agreed, and I'm glad we've reached a point in time where 9 times out of 10 the worst thing we get is a warning label at the beginning of the media.
Forte is Italian (where the musical term comes from too), fort is French.
Thank you for the correction. Either way, for me it makes sense if its fort or forte. Possible this is for next year since there is no announcement date this early. Cant wait for TGS this year to know more about it. I just hope they can connect the other SH series, from 1 to 4, to this game to make it more interesting.
Strong themes, and I hope they’re properly explored. They have a good writer involved, and I also hope they include text adventure aspects in the game design since they’re quite experienced at that.
STOP!! I am already sold
Forte is also portuguese and means strong.
Better to have warning labels than censorship, and we've had stuff like this for a long, long time. This is nothing new and something that existed long before COVID.
Yuuuuuup, similar warnings have existed for a LONG while in various forms, across various pieces of media. I never understood people being so pissy about warnings existing, it's a screen you bypass, and that's it. Most of the time it's just studios trying cover any potential liabilities, etc. I mean, if it's not there, someone could potentially make a stink and blame their game if they really wanted to. Much like all the GTA drama in the past. But putting such a thing there helps quite a bit, especially more so than putting nothing. It's also much better than censoring anything IMO.
They should call this title
At first I thought just a copy of SH2R melee would suffice, but the success of that combat system was all about a smart interplay between melee, guns and the flashlight, expanding over different enemy archetypes. So I'm very curious how they go about keeping it simple here with melee only, while it needs to make sense for a 16-year-old schoolgirl. Maybe there are other ranged mechanics? I'm so ready to see some gameplay.
Maybe we might see her use everyday tools as range weapon like nail gun? I do agree, I'm already sold on the atmosphere and art direction but we desperately need to see some combat and I hope to god it doesn’t take forever to show us gameplay.
Remember how Silent Hill monsters comes to existence, sure some of the monsters might end up looking more like Yokai because she heard stories about it from her grandparents or friends but some of monsters might be based on her personal issues she is dealing with.
I'm torn. On the one hand, yes, narrative-wise, it makes perfect sense. On the other hand, encouraging the player to be melee-only makes the player subconsciously pursuit conflict head on, which is the opposite of what horror wants you to do. Hopefully, the enemies are dangerous enough to make combat risk-worthy.
I don’t know, Condemned was very melee focused and I still shat my pants. You had a gun every now and then, but with limited ammo. Actually, those little moments holding a pistol or a shotgun where the times where I felt safe. I think it all boils down to how they balance it. I can’t imagine a 14 year old doing much damage with a melee weapon.
SH is not RE which are dealing bio engineered monsters which you need physical strength to deal with them. The monsters in SH fill very different type of purpose.
You saying the monsters are also 14-year old?
No, more like physical strength is not really determine factor when it comes to SH monsters.
Good point. I guess I was worried because Callisto made melee combat feel utterly tension-less to me.
Actually, it's Sailor Moon who is dressed like a school girl. XD
That’s not any better. The key Team Silent members just got together recently. They should make their games again. Konami saving money because they don’t want to pay the OG team.
wow just wow gamer are now just a bunch of pussies its rated m for fuck sake.
Pretty sure this is just failed marketing to make the game seem like it’s going to be “scary, sad and depressing”.
this at this point a trigger warning means good shit for us real gamers.
It’s trash marketing and you are falling for it. They are tricking you into buying the game before you play it. God you people are such suckers.
