One of many largest adjustments in Silent Hill f, in comparison with earlier chapters, was the choice to depart behind the “Silent Hill” set in Maine — the long-lasting setting that has outlined the collection for many years.
Some followers didn’t like this variation, nevertheless it could be time to get used to it, as Konami appears intent on persevering with this strategy by bringing Silent Hill to different areas.
Nothing has been formally determined but, however in a brand new interview with Inverse, collection producer Motoi Okamoto shared his ideas on the potential of setting future entries in different components of the world and exploring completely different cultures and native folklore.
Okamoto stated:
We consider we may maybe take related approaches with different cultures throughout the globe. For instance, in Central or South America, we may maybe faucet into the extra native, shamanistic beliefs and see how that ties in.
However we may additionally attempt to develop our horizons and look into different areas, like probably Russia, Italy, or South Korea, as a result of all these areas have their very own distinctive sorts of perception techniques. I consider that will probably be a gateway for us to develop our ideas additional.
Nonetheless, one of many challenges Konami faces, in line with Okamoto, is discovering established and dependable online game builders in a few of these areas who’re able to dealing with this main franchise.
There’s one subject: Central and South America wouldn’t have very many outstanding improvement studios for video video games able to dealing with an IP like Silent Hill. So whereas they’ve a variety of attention-grabbing motion pictures, books, and tales, how we might translate that into video games is one thing we nonetheless need to discover.
It appears Konami desires to strengthen the idea that Silent Hill is just not a bodily place, and that it may exist anyplace, beneath the appropriate circumstances. The newest entry, set in Japan, has been one of many best-selling in the whole collection.
