How Return to Silent Hill’s director influenced FromSoftware’s best game – Destructoid

It was recently revealed that Return to Silent Hill – a new movie based on Silent Hill 2 – has finished filming. Yeah, even though it has flown a bit under the radar, a new Silent Hill movie based on the events of Silent Hill 2 has been in the works for a while, and I’m cautiously optimistic about it.

I didn’t leave the showcase empty-handed, though: Konami would surprise-release a whole unannounced Silent Hill game to make up for it. Silent Hill: The Short Message, available for free on PS5 right…

Silent Hill 2 gets all violent in this combat trailer, still no release date

Like a lot of other horror fans, I’m holding out that Bloober Team’s remake of Silent Hill 2 won’t be a major letdown. While we wait to find that out, however, we can treat ourselves to the new “combat trailer” shown at the most recent State of Play. There are no prizes for guessing what the footage shows. While we get some of the cinematic goodness of the new Silent Hill 2, we also get to see James Sunderland and his guns making friends with enemies. Ha ha! Their heads ago a-splatter!…

P.T. (sort of) lives on in this Unreal Engine interpretation of Silent Hill 4

Even though Silent Hill is coming back in a big way, many still wonder what could have been with P.T., which Konami pulled the plug on. While we’ll likely never see a Kojima/del Toro horror collaboration set in the titular foggy town, fans will never stop dreaming. In a video uploaded to YouTube (as spotted by DSO Gaming), user Maxim Dorokhov has offered their own interpretation of Silent Hill 4: The Room. That is to say, they’ve recreated the 2004 game entirely in Unreal Engine 5.…

A lot of people have been quite keen to know when they can get their hands on the remake of Silent Hill 2. So much so that developer Bloober Team urged for a bit more patience, and we still have no idea when it’s releasing. But we’re getting closer. In a recent video on the PlayStation YouTube channel, we’re treated to a brief teaser showing what we can expect to launch this year on Sony’s system.
