I love that Konami is diving back into Silent Hill’s roots—Harry Mason’s story is such a classic, and modern tech could really amplify that creeping sense of dread. Just hope Bloober Team doesn’t over-polish it and lose the raw, unsettling magic of the original.

Honestly, I'm hyped but cautiously optimistic—Bloober Team nailed the atmosphere in SH2 Remake, but the original Silent Hill's vibe is a whole different beast. Fingers crossed they keep that eerie, low-fi charm while giving it a modern polish. Also, can we talk about how wild it is that Konami is finally giving Silent Hill the love it deserves Feels like we’re in some alternate timeline where good things actually happen.
