From GameWatcher: "Codeless Studio has shared footage of its fan-made Silent Hill remake, showcasing what a modern take on the classic horror title using Unreal Engine 5 would look like.
The video, which you can watch below, starts off by panning to a street covered in thick fog, before a character – likely protagonist Harry Mason – walks into view. The first chunk of the Silent Hill remake footage locks its perspective to a third-person camera sitting behind the character, as he walks through the environment."
Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”
Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.
They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.
I’m sure many would want bold and creative done well, but that’s easier said than done. I like variety so give me a little bit of everything, done well of course.
Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?
it was not. it greatly expanded the areas and puzzles to the point where it felt like an entirely new game. the enemies and boss fights were given a MASSIVE upgrade. the abstract daddy fight in particular was incredible. and the team added two new endings.

so now it looks like the cutscenes.
Hopefully it wouldn't have all that jank. This video convinced me static cameras are best left in the garbage bin of history.
Don't tease me with this, lol
Looks good!
