Ben-DutkaFor the record, with the exception of one forgettable rail shooter, Silent Hill has never been played from the first-person perspective and speaking of "perspective," that's the only reason this rumor exists.
Really, it's all in how you interpret the evidence. The rumor in question began with the picture you see here, which is a fact sheet of sorts for developer Vatra, now known to be handling the upcoming Silent Hill . These details come courtesy of Digital Development Management and as you can see, it listed the studio's strengths as "FPS and Action" games. Furthermore, it showed two titles; the already announced Rush 'N Attack: Ex Patriot and one for an unknown "major franchise." Now, assuming the latter is indeed Silent Hill and knowing that Rush 'N Attack is a straight-up action game, one might want to assume that the "FPS" part of the team's strengths applies to the new horror installment. Thus far, those within the survival/horror genre content themselves with a third-person over-the-shoulder mechanic, which began with Resident Evil 4 and continued into RE5 and Dead Space . But a freaky FPS…? Doom III was the scariest FPS I've ever played but it certainly wasn't Silent Hill , and I'm wondering if that perspective would be preferable… It's hard to tell.
Maybe, maybe not. Who knows? Besides, all we're basing this on is that set of info and the fact that it lists two strengths and two games. Vatra could be working on other projects, after all.
fatal frame 2 made me poop my pants.
STOP RAPING MY CHILDHOOD!
Lol, your childhood is based on a hell driven land of nightmares and despare filled with monsters that represent things such as rape and mental instability. xD I just think that's awesome :p
wow jesus christ guys stop jumping the gun!
thank the lord none of yous are cowboys otherwise there would be allot of missing toes!
just because their expertise is in action or shooters does not mean this will be, and just because one is announced and one is not does not mean that either.
there is absolutely nothing in there pointing to a FPS silent hill game.
if they did that, well i would not be surprised because well that is really what capcom did to RE, monolith did to F.E.A.R and so on, and so on.
but i would like to think konami are a little smarter than that……………….
if they do turn silent hill into a FPS than i have a nice juicy A bomb ready for them!
im really sick of developers destroying their games by changing their genre, for fu**s sake enough is a fu**ing enough!!!!!!!
doubt thats what their planing, but considering what craps been released lately nothing can surprise me!
are you bipolar?
I really hope they don't use their FPS knowladge on this game…that would be stupid. I hated going into the apartment on Silent Hill 4 because it was 1st person every time, took you too far away from the game's feeling itself. I'm hoping they use their action knowladge for this. Not for the gameplay itself, but for some of the scenes that they may have. Not like action movie action, but more liketerrifying and culptivating action. Like really showing how intense it really is if Pyramid Head was coming after you or a room full of Nurses all turning their out out of sync from each other and coming toward you with their scalpols. Imagine that, it would be pretty badass if they used their know how of making Action games and incorporated that into the scenes when you have to fight or maybe even when running is a better solution (but NOT like shattered memories! That game never existed!) I hope someone understands where I'm coming at with this, lol. Or else, I suck.
Oh h3ll no… pls pls pls do not make Silent Hill another FPS.
the industry is going to implode, just like it did in 1983.
