It's a slog going months without any big news on the series. Then again, we waited over a decade for Konami to even announce the franchise is still breathing. Now the news has dried up again like a shriveled up prune.
What irony...
Months ago, they were talking about a demo or something, and it was rated in Taiwan and Korea. Now some 5 months later, there's no longer much in the way of updates, and the rumour even goes further back than that rating. We know the director of f has been teasing us a bit about what the letter is supposed to mean for that game, but genuine news and information on the project just isn't happening at a fast enough rate.
Anyway, I do kind of fear that if the games are released and they turn out to be mediocre, we'll have another RE situation on our hands. Of course, it depends on your personal outlook as to whether you're displeased or content with the current run of games Capcom has consistently produced within only a handful of years. But we've at least not been starved of new RE stuff. Personally though, I felt the RE games in the last 3 years alone weren't that impressive.
With Silent Hill however, we haven't had a new entry in some time. Years, in fact. So I just fear the games will arrive all too late, and people will be kind of happy at first, then realize the games aren't that great because there's nothing that indicates they are really SH level greatness. Also, with their tendency to focus on remakes nowadays, it would be a dick move not to do the original justice. Not saying that's gonna be the case. But I know that a lot rests on this SH2 remake being a success, and I hate it when a long time goes by with nothing else to talk about.
Plus, it's four games and a movie we're waiting for. So that's a lot to stew on.
