Got that Mental Health Improvement Bug lol
It will probably have even worse performance though.
As a fan of Morrowind, I don't want them to touch it for the same reason I don't want 343 er.... Excuse me... Halo Studios (literally changed their name entirely to try and reset bad reputation lol) to do a remake of Halo Combat Evolved. And for the same reason I dislike the Silent Hill 2 Remake.
They will try to "modernize" the game to make it appeal to "the wider modern audience," and that just means they will ruin it by completely changing it.
Morrowind is already pretty much perfect as it is, and literally only needs some minor tweaks to OpenMW and a graphical update to be improved. But they're going to think it means they need to touch literally everything; every dialogue box, every quest item placement, all of it. All that stuff that does not need to be changed at all.
I feel like something about this should be incredibly illegal, since it basically amounts to Tencent trying to sidestep every other investor in the company to gain total ownership of the valuable IPs.
I have the same annoyance with people calling Lunacid a "King's Field-like." Like, if anything Lunacid is closer to Shadow Tower, NOT King's Field. Even the music is what one would expect from a Shadow Tower soundtrack if the original game even had a soundtrack.
"You too."
Gonna have a lot of cheaters by going free to play. One of the biggest downsides of being a free to play game.
I have to massively disagree with your assessment of Short Message.
"The Silent Hill Phenomenon." Probably the worst idea Konami has had. Worse than Book of Memories, even.
"Classic PS2 Racing games like Midnight Club"
Wait until the author of this article finds out that Tokyo Extreme Racer actually existed like 5 years before the PS2 came out lol
Not sure how I feel about this.
I am looking forward to playing it, it looks like it has an interesting story. I like the music and the graphics seem decent but I unfortunately did see TAA ghost artifacting in the trailer. And it being in Unreal Engine means it will likely have performance issues when it launches, but hopefully they iron that out.
But it also seems like Konami just doing what they have always done with Silent Hill: trying to prioritize the Japanese market with a property that doesn't really sell well in Japan, and completely missing the point of Silent Hill in the process.
During the transmission, Konami said that "Silent Hill lost its Japanese influence," and my response was "Well yeah you ding-a-lings, YOU were the ones that kept contracting with Western studios to make the game without Japanese developers, OF COURSE its going to not have Japanese influence."
Silent Hill not featuring the actual town of Silent Hill just feels wrong, since a major character is missing from the story (the town IS a character). It feels like this game is trying to be both a spin-off and a soft reboot at the same time. It almost feels like it will be the "Nightcry" version of Clock Tower, but with more polish hopefully.

It is well overfunded, thats pretty good news, and this group has a lot of goodwill stored up from the game, but I backed the System Shock Remake from NightDive studios and after how disastrous that was, I couldn't possibly recommend anyone fund anything on Kickstarter anymore.
