But you could tell from which generation the person who says "a walking sim" belong. There's clearly age gap that'll washout the real value of a masterpiece definitely.

It's interesting how all of the big AAA franchise that made their mark as PS2 games just casually make the leap from the PS2's aspect ratio of 4:3 to the standard 4k TV aspect ratio of 16:9.
Losing that much verticality while gaining that much width fundamentally reshapes games.
Silent Hill F's protagonist takes up over 50% of the screen's vertical space and too much of the screen in general.
We get to enjoy movies shot in a range of different aspect ratios but 100% of modern AAA games are by default the exact same 16:9 aspect ratio.

I'm not seeing the PR team sandbagging anything. They talked about relaunching Silent Hill and how they focused on different ideas for each game. The Message didn't hit but Silent Hill 2 did so that set the bar. Townfall will be under similar pressure to hit.
Konami Pr team already starting to sandbag. Add this to the recent delay of review embargo, This is going to be a dud, isn't it?
"While we do definitely feel a lot of pressure to follow in the footsteps of the quality of Silent Hill 2, we also feel that, in order to reinvigorate the series, we need to take some new steps - we need to try out some new challenges. This is where the setting, the gameplay, and combat come into play."
I'm ok with them trying new things and I expect Silent Hill f to be totally serviceable. I actually prefer the focus on combat and it looks fun. If they can deliver some solid scares on top of that then I'll be happy.
I'm not expecting a masterpiece here. The game will fall somewhere between AA and AAA. It will have flaws and plenty will hyper focus on them because that's the way it goes with Silent Hill. If it isn't exactly Silent Hill 2/3 then it's trash. I'll support what I can (I.e., not PlayStation exclusive) so we can hopefully get more games.

Comparing a niche concept such as SH f to the remake of the most beloved game of the franchise is very unfair

Let Bloober make an original SH game and see if they deliver. I dont expect Cronos to be nowhere near as good as SH 2

Its not unfair really. Japan needs to wake the fuck up. Bloober isn't some elite team. SH2 was almost their first game with gameplay. The Medium was cool but mostly walking around and looking at things. I dont know if Japan has a single Unreal 5 game yet. Not even 1. China has a bunch. Turns out Bloober made Cronos at the same time as well and already have that out in 2 weeks.

It is, really
My point is: Bloober strucked gold in a remake of a beloved game. All of their original games so far have been shit.
This team is making an entirely original SH game. If it ends up being 7/10 it would be better than every other game from Bloober. Cronos look like shit and I doubt it will come close to SH 2 quality.
Silent Hill f uses UE 5, btw

Nice!
I get your point. I read it more like pressure to hit the production value level since everyone knows its a remake.

Blind hate strikes again. Latest Blooper games:
And they remade SH2 from scratch, it's not 1:1 like MGS3 or DeS remakes...

Sorry, not shit, but "ehh". I admit I havent played Observer tho, and it seems good.Blind hate strikes again. Latest Blooper games:

They've remade SH 2 from scratch, and they've added many stuff that were cool. I love the game, more than the original even.
But its undeniable that it much easier than creating a new entry. They followed the same story beats as the original, considered a masterpiece for its narrative.

Observer is good, it has amazing atmosphere and Rutger H.! I completed half of it and lost my save on PS5, lol.
They created "good" games so far, that 7/10 is not a bad score. With SH2 they really upgraded many gameplay elements from both the original and their previous games.
As a horror fan I hope that both Cronos and Silent Hill F will deliver.
I completed short message two days ago and I enjoyed it, sad story with SH events and nice atmosphere. For free? That's even better.

I have a lot of faith in both SHf and Cronos right now. It's a weird feeling not being a jaded cunt for once, who am I even!?
PS: Don't make me regret this Konami and Bloober, this is how super villains are born.

I think Cronos will be a solid 80+ Metacritic game

Unlikely they will even be cult classics like Siren games. They will not be bringing emotional baggage or engaging mechanics.

I expect both to be in the 70 range, and will likely appease Callisto Protocol fans.

Personally, I think Cronos will be in the 70+ MC range while SH f will be around 80+ .
Cronos is also not full priced (think it's 60€ ?) so that might also help.
As for me...don't know yet, these type of games are a "one and done" thing since there's no real replay value so I might actually wait til they both drop in price

Observer was really nice after they fixed its shit-tastic performance for the next gen consoles.
The medium i also enjoyed on the XSX although I was expecting more from a - then - next gen game.
I also enjoyed the Blair witch project although it ran like absolute shite even on a Xbox one X.
Bloober is good when it comes to atmosphere and art-direction, it's just that usually, they're one of the most incompetent teams out there when it comes to technical performance, they basically have some fantastic and brilliant artists but bad coders/modellers etc.

With horror games and replay it depends on the game. Something like evil within or any resident evil game to me provides high replay value at higher difficulty levels.Personally, I think Cronos will be in the 70+ MC range while SH f will be around 80+ .

I often replay a horror game or two in October every year as it's just the right time of the year for it. I'm surprised neither SHf or cronos decided to launch in October for Halloween.
SHf seems like a low replay value product unless it has multiple endings. Chronos seems like it'll have more replay value with potential difficulty changes and a more action oriented gameplay loop.

It will. Strangely, it appears that the first playthrough will force a specific ending on you, and all others will be available only on NG+ (as per one of their last interviews).
