Seems like this game has actual good in game reading materials and with actual NG+ content. (unlike the half ass ng+ in SH2 remake)

Ill be getting this day 1 based on the summary alone.

 

[Danjin44]

Never liked to be forced to play new game plus or some shit to have the real finale.

As fan of NieR/Drakengard and Armored Core I actually I liked that a lot.

I always liked replaying games I enjoy and new story in NG+ gives me new reason to do so.

 

[JusticeForAll]

I have too little time as it is to play all the games I want and when I do have it, I'm quite often too tired. So I also don't like this "replay the game to see the true ending" crap.

Apart from that, I'm looking forward to it.

Yeah i know many people love having reasons to replay a game immediately after finishing it.

I just hope the real finale is something more like sh2 different endings where there is not really a canon one so they are all acceptible endings (even if some are straight up better than others) and not an actual REAL canon finale.

Anyone knows when Embargo lifts? I just spent 180€ on Yotei & Battlefield and need to know if this is worth another 90€ or 80€.

Word on the street is that it ends Monday (at least from what a single journalist said in a RL conversation).

Very well, gotta wait a bit more, not pre ordering this one yet (Unreal Engine).

I think it's Monday too, since the early access begins at midnight on Monday

If the UE performance is indeed the main concern for you, rest assured. DF claim that this is probably one of the best games in terms of performance made with UE5:

Small environments and natural enhancements on UE5 over time.



-----------



- DF saw base PS5 and PC version
- Base PS5 version's game-play was "smooth" 60 and cut-scenes locked to 30.

- DF noted minor issues with PC version but noted in the settings that it was running at native 4K.
- John changed settings to DLSS Quality and said he saw no issues with performance afterward.

- DF noted no stutter, hitching etc during their time
- Noted some Software Lumen for indirect lighting and SSR for reflections (console)
- The wording isn't clear but John sounds like he noted Lumen reflections only on the PC version (he didn't mention it for PS5)

- Seems like they're shipping a very solid UE5 game without any of the usual UE5 caveats

- The rest is their impressions on the game itself.

I'm probably gonna play cronos before this one and wait for a lower price.

It's gonna be hard to surpass sh2 remake.

In principle, I dont like it either, but it depends on how it's justified by the game lore and what changes in the next playthroughs.

I'm just a bit concerned about the heavy focus on combat, the only thing I didnt enjoy in SH2 remake.

Plot twist:

Leon shows up halfway through and suplexes a manifestation of her deepest internal fears.

 

[Stafford]

The only thing holding me off is the 80 euro price tag. Just too much for a 10-12 hour story game I'll finish once or twice. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to wait for a discount.

There's always Eneba, Loaded, Kinguin etc

 

[Ellis]

I Went with PC over PS5 this time. Happy to hear there's no usual UE5 stutter. 1080p with DLAA will still look better than the shitty method on my Pro.

 

[Roman Empire]

Great to hear, but for games like Silent Hill I'll wait to come out before making my decision. I'll watch a few trusted reviews of my own and if it feels good I'll grab it. If not, then I'll grab it on a sale as I don't generally miss out on SH games. There is Tormented Souls 2 for those who want that og SH feel.

 

[schaft0620]

Excited for the high score but I don't trust someone this dumb to score it correctly.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Hearing this isn't good for my wallet

 

[Diseased Yak]

I went ahead and snagged it due to the great deal at GMG. Excited for it!

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I was gonna wait til I finish Silent Hill 2, but for $45.45 I went ahead and grabbed it.
This interests me more than most games coming soon.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Another review broke embargo

 

[MagiusNecros]

Another review broke embargo

It's funny I'll give it that.

 

[PlayStaytion]

Gaf loves Silent Hill, Australians also loves Silent Hill, which makes many Gaffers Australians.

 

[Scrawnton]

Excited for this but it's just not in the budget right now. I'm sure I'll get it on steams holiday sale coming up.

 

[Liopleurodon]

I think SH f is even just for monsters very attractive game to play.

Is the early unlock Monday night or Tuesday night?

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Already pre-ordered and can't wait to play at the end of next week. OT is done and will go live when EA starts in 3,5 days from now.

Subtract 48 hours for early access times.

extra points for the 'no feedback whatsoever system' line...

Just got the call from my indie shop. The game is in my hands tomorrow. Heading around there after work to pick it up... it's happening bois.

We expect a full fucking report by tomorrow noon. Thanks.

 

[Flabagast]

Apparently the game is already out in the wilds in some places. Any first impression on the internet ?

There's a place near me that sells games but it's mainly a retro and D&D tournament hangout place . . . I've thought about asking if they'll break street dates for me.

Stealthily slide an extra dollar bill across the counter and wink heavily. Make him visualize the vacation home he has always dreamed of while that cash makes its way towards him.

It's worth asking nicely and even offering a slight tip on top of retail - Mine said no for a while but I made myself a regular and just flat out offered to pay a bit mor to get games as soon as they get them.

They tried to play it off at first and said they didn't get games until a day before release (literally I laughed out loud as I saw the owners son in the back playing Resident Evil 2 remake almost a week early.. LOL) at that point he just yielded.

Were good friends by now, mind.

I'm in the UK just FYI not sure about other places.

I'd probably only be interested in doing it for Sony first party games. The 3rd party ones I get cheaper on steam key sites to share with my Steam family.

Yeah to be fair I rarely buy games at launch at all let alone on the console platforms.. but it's not every day we get a mainline Silent Hill

Sounds like Monday night if I am not mistaken?

Search on YouTube. I know horror movies producers from there and their horror movies aren't half bad. I wouldn't mind if the next movie being made by Australians.

Not you, my guts telling me you're from Morocco.
