Silent Hill: Ascension Is a Live Silent Hill Event Coming Next Year

 

Today's Silent Hill announcements were not confined to just the games world. We also learned during the Silent Hill Transmission livestream that something called Silent Hill Ascension is in the works, and it appears to be some kind of live and possibly interactive experience in the Silent Hill universe.

 

The trailer showed images of chat bubbles from users discussing whether or not they could save "her," and the segment ended with "Live 2023".

 

We also learned that it's being made through a partnership with streaming software tools company Genvid, J.J. Abrams' film and TV production company gaming arm Bad Robot Games, Dead by Daylight studio Behaviour Interactive, and video-game-to-TV specialist production company dj2 Entertainment. With those names on board, we can probably guess that this will be some sort of hybrid video game/livestreamed experience with an interactive component, but we'll have to wait for more details to be sure.

 

In the following segment, we learned that Ascension was inspired by watching streamers play Silent Hill with their audiences and the "feeling of being scared together" like with watching horror films in a theatre. It's a live, realtime interactive series, where audiences are able to change the outcomes of the story and participate in scenes.

 

Critically, we're told there's "no reset button." Outcomes are set, and fans will have a chance to "shape Silent Hill canon forever."

Horrible character design (same for shadows) and looks generic as hell, made for western, not playing this even for free.

You know there’s like nothing really Japanese about silent hill right 

 

unless you think stuff like David lynch and Steven king are Japanese .

You said made for western, implying the look and design of the game was made for western audiences despite the original games essentially doing that . 
 

 

It was way different back then, anything after SH4 was garbage with Konami disbanding old team

https://silenthill.fandom.com/wiki/Team_Silent

because Konami wanted Western developers to continue the series in a new direction

This the reason i said made for western audiences while lacking the charm orignals had.

I disagree with the originals doing that as you say but that's just my opinion ofc as my experince with the originals did tell me it wasn't the case.

First silent Hill downpour while very flawed is one of my Favorite silent hills and embodies the spirit very well

 

second

 

you don’t get more western than  tje first game being  half Steven kings the mist half Carrie 


or Maria’s outfit in silent hill 2 just being one Christina Aguilera wore once 

 

the most Japanese influence I’ve seen in silent hill is 4 and really only a little bit .

 

yeah konami mishandled the franchise terribly. I remember . I was there for all those releases .
