Kinda wish Townfall wasn't a Silent Hill game so it could just exist as its own thing: a half-decent attempt at an Alien Isolation clone by a walking sim dev punching above their weight. It's pretty good even if it isn't always firing on all cylinders.

I think you just solved it. Good presentation goes a looooong way

Linear isn’t even the word, brother. There is something deeply, spiritually wrong with that game.

My assumption: it was a stipulation for use of the IP. Whyyyy in God’s name? Couldn’t tell you. “Ludonarrative dissonance” and its consequences

When it actually lets you play it you mean. And then the training wheels stay on in every aspect

I need to know how that game isn’t universally derided in serious circles.

I was being dramatic as Hell but ok, now I know manual saves can’t be reloaded. NSO cloud save scumming however remains on the table as a last resort. NSS, never stop savescumming

I might be being dramatic with that word, but basically made a hard save to wander a high level area of the map AS A GOOF and got myself stuck in a skirmish that I am severely underleveled for

Fortunes’s Weave autosave overwrites the manual save? And now I’m softlocked unless I restart the entire chapter?? Awful, awful stuff

I felt similarly. Then again, having a massive dip in quality in the final act is the most resident evil shit ever

Yeah it has gained outsized influence for that reason. Probably moreso than if the project had actually materialized.

Specifically Amnesia was the indie blueprint for so much great horror to follow. Condemned was more pivotal for evolution of first person melee combat I do think PT’s status as an unrealized Silent Hill makes it stick out a bit more in terms of influence. I see re7 for instance as a response to it

mingyjongo @dungus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
yeah I think Amnesia The Dark Descent was another foundational entry into the canon and it absolutely had a degree of influence on PT if I had to guess

Every horror game since has been chasing this unknowable ghost, trying to fulfill the infinite potential of what ever Silent Hills could have been. That, or just doing re4 again. Sometimes both (see: re9)

I think horror games are in a really good place and much of the credit goes to PT lighting a fire under the genre over ten years ago. Insane how much juice that little teaser had. The stuff of lost media legend

I’m with you. Straight up dropped sh2 remake at the hospital level, that game really put me off. It didn’t help that I played the original right beforehand
010
mingyjongo @dungus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Yeah it's not too bad, like simple ps2 stealth in a modern first person game. Loving the presentation and clicky interactables that make things more dynamic. The worst stealth I've played recently is probably in Total Chaos, an otherwise cool game with scripted sequences that really annoyed me.
010
mingyjongo @dungus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Enjoying Townfall but the stealth is very rudimentary. Just kinda crouchwalking around old school simplistic enemy pathing. Alien Iso this is not, but I meannnn I’ll take what I can get. It still does a lot of things right

When Mr Kojima came to see me to talk about Raiden,he told me that he wanted an exceptionally beautiful young man.

Look how cool this mgs2 flooding sequence is. They threw it out last minute because it didn’t add anything to the gameplay. Contrast that with games being made today, where it feels like the fun is being thrown out in favor of the technically impressive. from: The Making of Metal Gear Solid 2

I miss having a beloved independent movie theater in walking distance from my home but on the bright side we’re getting our fourth Publix in that lot once they bulldoze everything I cherish out of it

Think I'll be getting Silent Hill Townfall. Hope the stealth is good

The thing about tank controls is they feel really snappy and precise like it’s second nature and then you also get treated to fixed camera angles as a bonus. Biggest win-win in history

Finished MGS4 and it's incredible. Kojima just had to wait for every single white person on the planet to love anime.

Hopefully that movie or streaming series he went off to produce winds up a massive turd and then kcd3 releases to acclaim without him even so much as mentioned in the credits.

Guilty pleasure 🤷‍♂️ but I don’t blame you. Highly systemic immersive RPGs that at the very least aren’t directly funding a genocidal rape colony. Games like these are just too few and far between, nothing like em

Fire Emblem is here a day early after having preordered it for $10 off. No 30gb install for me. Physical stays winning.
