It seems no one beyond few really understand the series which are pretty much just 1-4.

The Silent Hill decomp project is closer. But I'm not sharing the gay YouTuber who showcases it cause he endorsed the 2 demake and has a retarded gay voice.


There is a more obscure Silent Hill 4 C/C++ reimplementation project. Check it out.
Description:
This is a bit of a toy project I've been working on for a couple months, it is a reimplementation of Silent Hill 4. This is not a recompilation or a decompilation, this is reimplementing the game in platform and architecture agnostic C++ code, meaning it will (and currently can!) run on Linux, Mac, and Windows in x86, x86-64, and ARM and probably other architectures and operating systems (Android, iOS, etc.). The goal is that eventually you'll just be able to compile and drop the exe right inside the original Silent Hill 4 folder and everything will just work.

It currently uses SDL3, and bgfx for the underlying 3D renderer although I have abstracted rendering away so you could plug in anything underneath. It would be cool to one day see a full path traced renderer and even VR support, both of which should be possible (although I probably will not be the one to implement either of those things).

At the moment, I have image and font decoding, some working menus, save file serialization and deserialization, basic (and buggy) 3D world model support, message decoding, and basic first-person support. Audio support is completely missing which is why it is silent. Almost none of the gameplay systems are implemented yet and the hardest bits are still to come. But even what I have so far is a gigantic amount of progress.

Eventually this will be an open-source project on GitHub, but I'm gonna let it cook a bit more before putting the code up.

It seems they going to make Silent Hill N focus more on stealth and avoiding combat all together. It would be funny if we went from a teenage Japanese girl mowing down "demons" in a psychotic fit of rage, too a weak, effeminate black man running away from all dangers and troubles (something alot of blacks can relate too i bet lol).

Seriously, what is even going on with this IP anymore? For as much as some of you liked Silent Hill F, i sure as hell dont see any of you talking about it anymore (or other places on the Internet for that matter)

I liked f but it’s not a good addition to the Silent Hill IP. Aside from some psychological themes and the white flowers there’s literally nothing that attaches to Silent Hill

The IP has been creatively dead since 4.
 
I really really really hate it that Konami has just turned Silent Hill into a generic SCP franchise.

It's no longer the manifestation of a character's tormented psyche but just a generic spoopy place with spoopy monsters.

Fuck off.

Because it was another mediocre game just like remakes are.

Not one fucking game is as memorable as the first four in the series. But even Origins and Shattered Memories, and even the first movie have their moments despite not being good silent Hill entries.

Not many, but there are a couple. Like SM having some interesting ideas (arguably what could have been a true advancement of the series' formula) badly executed. Compared to the mountain of shit though... it's a drop in the bucket. I almost long for the days of Downpour *yikes*, at least there was still a kindov youthful spirit about the brand. Don't get me wrong, it was endless ass, but it felt like it could bounce back if there was a hail mary reunification of Team Silent. But after Homecoming, the very flawed Origins/Shattered Memories, Downpour, the eternally entertaining abortion called the "HD" Collection, Book of Memories (a dungeon crawler kek), the god awful Revelation movie, and SILENT HILL PACHINKOOOOOOOO, plus a decade long coma..... it's just over Johnny.

Doesn't really understand Silent Hill award.

(It's okay, most of the fanbase never even played the first four games or looked deeper than their poser video essays anyway). I never would have dug deeper if I didn't watch the movie with my momma when I was 12 and found YouTube playthroughs at 11 cause I got obsessed with the music used in the film that came from the games.

Without JordanUnderneath's vids on the series I'd have never found treasure. And Indiemaus's vid with him, and his monsters of the week vids exploring the creatures.

So this is what Silent Hill will be now, huh? Making minority themed new entries while remaking the originals in the faint hope of satisfying newcomers and veterans somehow.

I unironically prefer the era this series was objectively dead.
