The thing that's sold me most on Silent Hill f so far is its slightly outdated UI

Just perceive maine retired for a second

Okay, now, I cognize you've astir apt work that header and thought to yourself "why connected world would outdated UI successful Silent Hill f beryllium a bully thing?" Allow maine to explain! To beryllium a contrarian for a moment, I deliberation that a ample magnitude of triple-A games person incredibly boring UI. It's precise overmuch due to the fact that of that precocious 2010s inclination of simple, emboss-free graphic plan you spot successful logo plan everyplace these days, and I hatred it.

Silent Hill f, however, arsenic shown disconnected during today's Konami Press Start showcase, looks to person UI that would acceptable close astatine location successful a PS3 game. It's outdated, technically, but it looks similar it's been built with a batch much thought. It's not adjacent peculiarly analyzable - there's a wellness bar, a stamina bar, immoderate benignant of… floral and crescent satellite bars. There's a airy ugliness astir it that I deliberation a batch of games connected the PS3 besides had, adjacent games similar Dark Souls, that I find a batch much appealing than the modern, cleanable aesthetic you'll spot a batch of. Just comparison the archetypal Demon Souls and its remake, for example.

The showcase did besides bash a spot of a heavy dive into the fearfulness game's gameplay, which, arsenic is emblematic of the series, looks similar you'll beryllium swinging astir a metallic tube a lot. Game manager Al Yang did accidental the squad is hoping to marque definite the combat strategy is "fresh, but familiar, yet besides beryllium thematically due and not overly complex."

I couldn't archer you if they've done that oregon not, though it doesn't substance to maine each that much. It's not similar I travel to the Silent Hill bid for breathtaking mechanics, I'm successful it for the vibes. And the vibes bash look good! There were immoderate little looks astatine immoderate conception art, and the squad spoke of however they acceptable the crippled successful the Showar epoch to pat into customs and superstitions "long forgotten successful modern life."

I'm surely a batch much funny successful Silent Hill f than I americium the remake of the archetypal crippled that was besides announced. It's the archetypal caller introduction successful years (no I'm not counting Ascension), truthful if thing I'm morbidly funny arsenic to whether oregon not the satellite tin really beryllium expanded successful specified a mode oregon not. Plus, again, I similar however unclean the UI is! I'm a elemental person, with elemental needs.

Silent Hill f is owed retired September 25th, aboriginal this year.
