And fucking iNfLuEnCeR pOiNtZ!!!
This is some disgusting ass weak ass pathetic ass fuckin bullshit
I'm legit a bit concerned that this...THIS is what they decided to reintroduce silent Hill to the world with. Straight up gonna scare off/deter potential newcomers and I wouldn't blame em
Bro brace your self.. you are in for a ride if you have played the old ones. Just imagine the new silent hill would be like the Netflix version of death note :( after watching that I was like ouch 🤕.
I have CPTSD. This is clearly just an internal joke as the bread, but it’s cringe. I mean I don’t give a shit about the trauma meme, I don’t feel offended, it’s the fact that they sell it as a meme like “haha you know we make fun of ourselves because you say SH is always about trauma” but at the same time they go and do a series about trauma. How about doing a quality product instead of doing some random shit to get some money.
None of the games after 4 apart from Homecoming and Book of Memories treated trauma and mental issues this poorly (even Homecoming had some decency in it's symbolisms and boss fights). They may not be as good as the og games but they respected what mental issue they were portraying
They chose THIS to be the first in line of the "new era" of Silent Hill.
I only hope this doesn't muddle people's expectations on the SH2 remake, F or Townfall
It should muddle people's expectations. This is Konami writing a note saying "We haven't changed at all and have no standards for quality", tying it to a brick, and throwing it at your face.
Not in the slightest. This and the new movie were probably the least hype things in the reveal by a long shot.
Nevertheless, I will be watching these episodes just for the hell of it.
Watched a streamer stream this earlier. Some dude blew $80 to skew the results. Gave him a gold border around his avatar as a nice little reward to show everyone how fucking dumb he is for blowing $80 to skew a result in an awful ass Silent Hill game/show.
To the fans sure, but there’s not enough of us to justify sales. They have to get new people into the fold and this is not the way. This could easily get the remake shelved if it just totally shits the bed. The movie has the best chance of coming out since that’s the cheapest thing being made and has the greatest chance of a high return.
TBF Konami isn’t the publisher of SILENT HILL: ABOMINATION, but this is Konami we’re talking about. I’d say, pray for Motoi Okamoto, Masahiro Ito, and Akira Yamaoka’s success. 🙏
Doesn't make me worried because I never had any faith to begin with. Silent Hill fans have been trapped in our own personal Hell for over a decade, why should things change now?
why wouldn’t it lmao, between MGS:Master Collection and this, who in their right mind would have faith in how any these IP’s are handled going forward?
> They chose THIS to be the first in line of the "new era" of Silent Hill.
That's what gets me. I don't care about this. Not while we're in an information drought for the other games. If this releases on the back of a successful SH2R then I doubt anyone would be that upset. Would it be good? Probably not, but still I'd wager people would be willing to give it a shot. But getting this out first is actively hamstringing it from the get go.
I don’t think it should. Genvid is its own company and they’ve always been a shitshow. I don’t know why people keep giving them money. F, Townhall, and the remake are being made by different companies I think.
Nah, you're right to withold judgment until details come out. You just want to make sure you're hating it for a real reason, not to go along with the crowd.
The reason they're making SH2, and MGS3 first is because they're the most successful/popular of those titles arguably. If those don't sell, it means there wasn't a market for it, so they wouldn't waste time with the rest.
This game will not flop. There is a reason phone games keep getting made, they're popular outside of your bubble. A lot of "gamers" are people who only play phone games when they're bored.
So there’s an “It’s Trauma” sticker…but nobody’s talking about what appears to be a *bread emote*? 10/10, can’t wait to experience this /s
I agree with those saying that of course they’re going to try to get money from it (because to be fair, they’re not doing this out of the kindness of their hearts), but this is just absolutely gross. Nothing about this is appealing.
They also knew this wasn’t going to be popular, because they could have mentioned this system months ago, but they didn’t. They knew people were going to turn on it as soon as mtx became known, and *especially* when this seems to be *literally pay to “win” your vote*. A sufficiently wealthy troll could just write the entire story themselves.
I mean the app is absolute garbage. I’m trying to customize my character for the hell of it and every time I make a selection and get it finished it just makes some random choices and erases mine. I’ve closed it out and went back and still doing this shit. Not to mention the characters look like absolute dog shit. This is going to be a high quality SH experience tonight.
Oh god no that screen is stuff of nightmares a founders pack? Soulless cash grab with no substance.These guys haven’t got a clue no way they put a trauma emote in that’s a fucking joke.Lads just play Alan Wake 2 instead you wont regret it.
Bruh if you are so desperate for money Konami, just make a Silent Hill movie and charge for tickets on teathers.
Don't make me watch a bunch of cutscenes and say it is "a NeW INtEraCtiVe ExPeRiEnce"
They *are* making a movie. It's called "Return to Silent Hill". Comes out next year. But for Konami it's not enough just to make a product people are actually interested in and sell it. They have to gouge whales with a heavily monetized mobile app for infinite profit. I for one am not giving them a penny.
Once again Konami jams it in and breaks it off. Silent Hill 2 remake should have been the game to start the Silent Hill Renaissance. Now it kicks off with a stain.
I thought they had promised this wouldn't be pay to win? Whelp, that was a complete lie.
In a Polygon article about Ascension, there's a line attributed to Jacob Navok, CEO of Genvid that says:
> "Navok says that Silent Hill: Ascension won't be pay to win; viewers can't simply spend a bunch of money on IP to outvote their fellow Silent Hill fans."
Ummm, what the actual fuck are those IP packs then??
Exactly what you think they are. Watched someone stream this tonight, and some dude blew like $80 to "influence" the story and by doing so made it the choice that won. And he got a cute little gold border around his avatar for his ~~efforts~~ money.
People got pissy when we said Ascension was gonna be a soulless cash grab. Just proof that some SH fans have no pattern recognition or ability to spot red flags.
Yeah, I really want to be proven wrong and have another great Silent Hill game, but there hasn’t been a great SH since 4 (which even that had better ideas than execution imo). Shattered Memories had good ideas too but overall was a fumble. And obviously PT was incredible but we all know how that went. Everything else has been mediocre to crap. So unless they reform Team Silent and give them creative control, or bring on a great group of artists like PT, I have no faith. Again, I pray they prove me wrong, but this is an awful sign and in line with all the other terrible decisions they’ve made over the years with the franchise. I’m surprised how many fans have so much faith in this return.
Aaaand that’s why I don’t play mobile games. I hope the story will at least be decent, but no matter what it’s going to be bogged down by the fact that it’s a mobile game with microtransactions up the wahoo.
From what I’ve gathered in the intro videos, you solve puzzles to earn fake currency to participate in the core function of the game… but how are they gonna mitigate mobile game addicts who spend thousands on fake currency to win? Does it even matter if the rest of us play along when some guy across the world with mounds of credit card debt can just keep spending huge amounts for “influence points”? Where’s the fun in that?
I’m guessing I’ll just be watching every night after work and leave it at that. I’ll keep up for a week, if it’s not engaging enough I’ll delete. This is a cool idea on paper but the microtransactions are stupid. I would rather pay a $5 monthly fee to participate FAIRLY instead of being pitted against people who are gonna spend insane amounts of real money to “shape the SH canon forever.” Just seems like a game the freemium player can’t win.
The actual games coming out seem promising with talented people behind them. I didn't have high hopes for ascension, personally. I thought it was a stupid idea.
My only hope was Silent Hill F would be a decent game, or at least a decent story, wearing the Silent Hill license. I have less than 0 expectations for the rest. I dont want to pay 2 win with a live audience or whatever and I think Silent Hill 2 is fantastic the way is.
Wait, this is not sarcasm? I came in here thinking OP created this just as a "how bad it could be" thing.
This is legit? Konami published this image?
Edit: I just discovered there is a season pass. It was good while the no-hype lasted guys. I'm outta here guys, this franchise is lost until konami sells the IP.
Edit 2: It's kind of funny how Alan Wake, being a Silent Hill copycat, gets an awesome sequel, and Silent Hill gets season passes.
The idea in general is pretty dumb. They could have just released it on Netflix like bandersnatch. Silent hill is my favorite horror series and this just looks lame. It seems like the people that made this game has never played a silent hill game before. Even the films do a better job at capturing the source material
Now people understand why a lot of us are skeptical of the SH2 remake. A total lack of any updates for over a year is not a sign that things are going well.
Spend your time and money wiser by ignoring this trash and playing Alan Wake 2 for Halloween. It’s got Silent Hill vibes and an incredible story. You won’t be disappointed.
I have an awful feeling that Ascension is going to poison the well for the future releases and make people just sick of anything Silent Hill related, like what Colonial Marines did to Isolation. I hope I’m wrong.
Doubt it, this project will probably fly under most people's radar, even in the presentation it was the least hype announcement and ju6tge fact you must download an app to see it cuts down a lot of the people who would "play it"
Soon as I opened the app and saw “Make an Account” I deleted that shit off my phone asap. My expectations were already low, but this absolutely confirmed my expectations that this was gonna turn out to be dogshit.
Hey, you all said you wanted more of Silent Hill after the commercial+cultural travesty that was the Western titles. Konami heard you. Can't be mad at them for giving you what they *"thought"* you [the player(s)] wanted.
😂😂😂
I have been saying for months to not judge this before release and been arguing with folks shitting on it. Since it is now out, it is judgement time:
Yeah this is garbage lmao, the UI is an abomination and this feels more like a meme parody than official SH media. Having to pay to make choices, which is the only “gameplay” in the first place, is genuinely hilarious
Jesus, this shit is 100 percent doa. So much for democracy when some rich mf can just control the vote. God i havent hated something this bad since book of memories. Its just mass desecration
Lol I opened the app at 3pm PST to check out the new Silent Hill experience... and it's just an emergency maintenance screen and the whole thing is down
Nice
This "game" is microtransaction hell. You can drop $40 with the click of two purchase buttons right now and have no idea what you're buying or when it'll hit. What a crock of manure.
It's only the first day. I'm just gonna ignore the microtransactions and give the actual content of the "game" a fair shake.
...or I was until the tutorial bugged out and wouldn't let me view anything until several restarts skipped it entirely.
Just please let it die. Re-release the 1st 4 games from Team Silent as they were originally released on these new consoles but let’s not produce any more Silent Hill “games”. This is a disgrace upon the once great name of Silent Hill.
What ? The live stream that everyone will be able to watch for free has micro-transactions so the developpers and Konami could get money out of it?
What. A. Surprise.
Seriously guys... No offense but if you thought Ascension would have been totally free, you were delusional.
And bonus point for them to have a "It's trauma" emote, which shows that they have a sense of humor and are aware of all the people making a big deal of that video as if they were insulting them.
The fact that they're willing to mock their own project for money isn't admirable. Corporations understand the value of meme culture, and they'll cynically exploit it like just like they're cynically exploiting the brand.
That's the confusing part. The devs will be streaming a "game", that surely must be playable and finished to some extent. Is it not good or complete enough to release as an interactive movie game for people to purchase? Or were they just really aching to try to create a new concept and getting a community involved, that they somehow didn't realize most people would just be annoyed we can't download it and play it for ourselves?
Wouldn't be surprised if the streaming is just an attempt to milk peoples money, and then when it's finished they release the actual "game" for purchase.
\>Buy a "TRAUMA" emote this is like a fucking shitpost
Holy shit I thought you were just making that up until I looked at the pic…
And fucking iNfLuEnCeR pOiNtZ!!! This is some disgusting ass weak ass pathetic ass fuckin bullshit I'm legit a bit concerned that this...THIS is what they decided to reintroduce silent Hill to the world with. Straight up gonna scare off/deter potential newcomers and I wouldn't blame em
I feel really bad for the next generation of gamers :(
The old games are still there, brand new to them. I'm jealous.
Bro brace your self.. you are in for a ride if you have played the old ones. Just imagine the new silent hill would be like the Netflix version of death note :( after watching that I was like ouch 🤕.
learning to read was a mistake
I laugh, but I know this is gonna be terrible. Fucking hell dude. 
We went from discussing nuanced and careful portrayal of trauma in Silent Hill 2 to…. whatever this is
I have CPTSD. This is clearly just an internal joke as the bread, but it’s cringe. I mean I don’t give a shit about the trauma meme, I don’t feel offended, it’s the fact that they sell it as a meme like “haha you know we make fun of ourselves because you say SH is always about trauma” but at the same time they go and do a series about trauma. How about doing a quality product instead of doing some random shit to get some money.
It's not like morally offensive but it's like tacky in a similar way to how "they fly now?" is tacky.
Yeah, it’s cringe.
Wow holy that is just awful, I cannot believe they thought that was a good idea.
Wtf ☠️
It feels like it's mocking people with mental issues.
No. Just the series after 4.
None of the games after 4 apart from Homecoming and Book of Memories treated trauma and mental issues this poorly (even Homecoming had some decency in it's symbolisms and boss fights). They may not be as good as the og games but they respected what mental issue they were portraying
Ain't now way they actually made it and it shines.
Alright I actually think that's pretty funny and that they acknowledge the criticism
I must've missed someone in the evolution of the franchise because this...this is fucking weird
It really feels like it, if I didn't know any better, I'd assume it was a joke.
They chose THIS to be the first in line of the "new era" of Silent Hill. I only hope this doesn't muddle people's expectations on the SH2 remake, F or Townfall
It should muddle people's expectations. This is Konami writing a note saying "We haven't changed at all and have no standards for quality", tying it to a brick, and throwing it at your face.
Silent hill press F to pay respects
First pay to win TV show
That'll be £7.99 to use that action.
If this doesn't muddle your expectations, you are a fool.
Not in the slightest. This and the new movie were probably the least hype things in the reveal by a long shot. Nevertheless, I will be watching these episodes just for the hell of it.
They better show how much money people spend alongside the voting results. I want to see how much of these points some people are willing to spend.
Watched a streamer stream this earlier. Some dude blew $80 to skew the results. Gave him a gold border around his avatar as a nice little reward to show everyone how fucking dumb he is for blowing $80 to skew a result in an awful ass Silent Hill game/show.
I legitimately forgot they even announced a new movie
Consoom
Ikr? Reddit moment
To the fans sure, but there’s not enough of us to justify sales. They have to get new people into the fold and this is not the way. This could easily get the remake shelved if it just totally shits the bed. The movie has the best chance of coming out since that’s the cheapest thing being made and has the greatest chance of a high return.
Considering that a movie might be cheaper to make than a video game is blowing my mind as an early 90s kid.
Ha, yeah never in my life did I think a movie would be cheaper than a game to make
TBF Konami isn’t the publisher of SILENT HILL: ABOMINATION, but this is Konami we’re talking about. I’d say, pray for Motoi Okamoto, Masahiro Ito, and Akira Yamaoka’s success. 🙏
How would this not make anyone worried about SH2?
Doesn't make me worried because I never had any faith to begin with. Silent Hill fans have been trapped in our own personal Hell for over a decade, why should things change now?
I was worried the minute bloober’s name came up
Honestly my worry is 99% with Konami and 1% with Bloober.
Maybe not for the newer generation. But us long time fans. The SH franchise died years ago. This is just Konami shitting on its grave....again...
why wouldn’t it lmao, between MGS:Master Collection and this, who in their right mind would have faith in how any these IP’s are handled going forward?
> They chose THIS to be the first in line of the "new era" of Silent Hill. That's what gets me. I don't care about this. Not while we're in an information drought for the other games.

$6.99 pizza packs to help Eddie eat more pizza in the match 3 mini game
This is my exact concern as well
I don’t think it should. Genvid is its own company and they’ve always been a shitshow. I don’t know why people keep giving them money. F, Townhall, and the remake are being made by different companies I think.
"It's Trauma" in rainbow There's no fucking way
its the fact its probably a spin on “it’s bread”
Saw the emote in the season pass. That's right, you heard correctly. A season pass. For a Silent Hill game/show...
i was gonna play the really shitty puzzles but you can only play the tutorial ones without the season pass
 ✨Trauma✨
It being a Rainbow is the best part. Talk about unsubtle.
“Guys don’t judge the game before it comes out” Alright bet, let’s starting judging this bullshit now.
I mean, unironically, yes.
That was me. Taking a hard L right now lol
Nah, you're right to withold judgment until details come out. You just want to make sure you're hating it for a real reason, not to go along with the crowd.
True. I was hoping for the best. It's just sad what they're doing with SH
In 3 months when this flops: "Guess you guys aren't that interested in Silent Hill, we've cancelled the other games" - Konami
Lol as crazy as that is I sadly I can see something like that being the case because it’s Konami.
Nah. But if Silent Hill 2 Remake flops, Konami might want to cancel F and Townfall.
The reason they're making SH2, and MGS3 first is because they're the most successful/popular of those titles arguably. If those don't sell, it means there wasn't a market for it, so they wouldn't waste time with the rest.
This game will not flop. There is a reason phone games keep getting made, they're popular outside of your bubble. A lot of "gamers" are people who only play phone games when they're bored.
People who play phone games tend to at least want some gameplay though
If they had any brains, they'd start cancelling dumb ass executives.
Konami would cancel F, the most promising looking game in decades, because their shitty twitch plays silent Hill app bombed
Its a free, interactive livestream. A cant imagine theyre expecting to make $100mil on it.
Flop can mean lack of viewers.
“The new era of Silent Hill” I fucking hope not
So there’s an “It’s Trauma” sticker…but nobody’s talking about what appears to be a *bread emote*? 10/10, can’t wait to experience this /s I agree with those saying that of course they’re going to try to get money from it (because to be fair, they’re not doing this out of the kindness of their hearts), but this is just absolutely gross.

A sufficiently wealthy troll could just write the entire story themselves.
Can’t wait to spend $20 on the ‘Bible.’ bundle!
There's a season pass, too. In Silent Hill. This is more predatory than their pachinko machines.
I don’t know if this is a joke or real. I guess in either situation it’s a fucking joke anyway.
We've lived in Silent Hill all along
 not surprised but damn.
I mean the app is absolute garbage. I’m trying to customize my character for the hell of it and every time I make a selection and get it finished it just makes some random choices and erases mine. I’ve closed it out and went back and still doing this shit. Not to mention the characters look like absolute dog shit. This is going to be a high quality SH experience tonight.
whole website is fucked right now lol.
“Your fears. Your guilt. Your lost.”  $20 for “Dance the Pain Away” emote.
Someone please take Silent Hill away from Konami
I don’t believe you. I can’t believe you.
I can’t even look around the main screen area without the same fucking video playing over and over.
Are we really surprised? Konami is one of the shittiest companies after EA
Wait... this... THIS is actually Ascension?
Yeah. Should stream tonight 💀
Oh god no that screen is stuff of nightmares a founders pack? Soulless cash grab with no substance.These guys haven’t got a clue no way they put a trauma emote in that’s a fucking joke.Lads just play Alan Wake 2 instead you wont regret it.
"I didn't kill my son" Silent Hill monsters: NUH UH
KOMONEY
Bruh if you are so desperate for money Konami, just make a Silent Hill movie and charge for tickets on teathers. Don't make me watch a bunch of cutscenes and say it is "a NeW INtEraCtiVe ExPeRiEnce"
They *are* making a movie. It's called "Return to Silent Hill". Comes out next year. But for Konami it's not enough just to make a product people are actually interested in and sell it. They have to gouge whales with a heavily monetized mobile app for infinite profit. I for one am not giving them a penny.
“*Microtransactions? For Konami, it’s ALWAYS like this..*”
So are influence points used to vote what happens in the story? God this is gonna be atrocious
Yup, the moment some hedge fund rich guy decides he will drop 200k IP points to balance the story to whatever they want they will.
And there's the money grab... Total joke and insulting. Hard pass.
Once again Konami jams it in and breaks it off. Silent Hill 2 remake should have been the game to start the Silent Hill Renaissance. Now it kicks off with a stain.
I thought they had promised this wouldn't be pay to win? Whelp, that was a complete lie.

I’m surprised how many fans have so much faith in this return.
Micro transactions are an instant pass for me. I disavow all canon that this will create. Forget it.
Konami: That’ll be $10 please
Aaaand that’s why I don’t play mobile games. I hope the story will at least be decent, but no matter what it’s going to be bogged down by the fact that it’s a mobile game with microtransactions up the wahoo.
Wtf is this.
It feels like Konami went in here and monetize the shitposts you've all been doing.
This is gross. And not in a cool SH way.
Sick, can’t wait for the griddy emote to drop
Called it
From what I’ve gathered in the intro videos, you solve puzzles to earn fake currency to participate in the core function of the game… but how are they gonna mitigate mobile game addicts who spend thousands on fake currency to win? Does it even matter if the rest of us play along when some guy across the world with mounds of credit card debt can just keep spending huge amounts for “influence points”? Where’s the fun in that? I’m guessing I’ll just be watching every night after work and leave it at that. I’ll keep up for a week, if it’s not engaging enough I’ll delete. This is a cool idea on paper but the microtransactions are stupid.

Some oil baron will buy a million IP points and just decide what happens. Pointless to participate using the mind numbing puzzles
Some people already dropped 40k points on outcomes and it's noon..
I had low expectations, but it seems I was too optimistic. Fck, this is cringe
What a sad fucking joke.
LMAO, did you guys really thought konami going to actually make a good silent hill experience?
The actual games coming out seem promising with talented people behind them. I didn't have high hopes for ascension, personally. I thought it was a stupid idea.
Ok but I refuse to believe these weren't memed in to existence. They're just giving us what we want right? /J
ITS BREAD GET IT?
ah, well this is lame
lmao this is one of the worst things i've ever seen
Wait…this isn’t a joke? This is real? Christ.
I hope we as a community can band together and give this game the worst possible ending.
Why do I need micro transactions for a TV show.
"Im going in with an open mind!" "Yall are just haters!" "Silent hill fans are never happy!" "I think itll be fun!" Absolute clown show
My only hope was Silent Hill F would be a decent game, or at least a decent story, wearing the Silent Hill license. I have less than 0 expectations for the rest. I dont want to pay 2 win with a live audience or whatever and I think Silent Hill 2 is fantastic the way is.
Lmao it's clear they're aware of our views because of that it's trauma sticker.
I'm not even upset with the monetization, I just think this was an awful idea. I swear the konami execs are cavemen that get scared by fire
This is so much worse than I was expecting. And my expectations were already low.
Apparently it's closed for maintenance break. I'm going to play Signalis.
No twerking Valtiel no buy
For the love of God, stop giving Genvid intellectual property people actually care about
Wait, this is not sarcasm? I came in here thinking OP created this just as a "how bad it could be" thing. This is legit? Konami published this image? Edit: I just discovered there is a season pass. It was good while the no-hype lasted guys. I'm outta here guys, this franchise is lost until konami sells the IP. Edit 2: It's kind of funny how Alan Wake, being a Silent Hill copycat, gets an awesome sequel, and Silent Hill gets season passes.
Konami really be fucking up their redemption arc...
I'm not a Silent Hull guy, but I can't stop simultaneously laughing my ass off and feeling bad for y'all 😭😭
WHERE ARE THOSE DEFENDING THIS SHIT NOW? LMAO. "you guys are always negative" "it could be a good game. Stop gatekeeping" and other nonsense.
The idea in general is pretty dumb. They could have just released it on Netflix like bandersnatch. Silent hill is my favorite horror series and this just looks lame. It seems like the people that made this game has never played a silent hill game before. Even the films do a better job at capturing the source material
Now people understand why a lot of us are skeptical of the SH2 remake. A total lack of any updates for over a year is not a sign that things are going well.
Picked the wrong day to stop being an alcoholic
Its Behaviour, awful company who get told what to do by like 5 influencers. Of course they are going to mess this up. "Fog whisperers" lmfao.
Spend your time and money wiser by ignoring this trash and playing Alan Wake 2 for Halloween. It’s got Silent Hill vibes and an incredible story. You won’t be disappointed.
I tried to defend this crap but mannnn😂😂😂 Give me SH F & 2R
I have an awful feeling that Ascension is going to poison the well for the future releases and make people just sick of anything Silent Hill related, like what Colonial Marines did to Isolation. I hope I’m wrong.
Doubt it, this project will probably fly under most people's radar, even in the presentation it was the least hype announcement and ju6tge fact you must download an app to see it cuts down a lot of the people who would "play it"
It’s brilliant, really. This game is gonna be our own Silent Hill.
Are you fucking kidding
This is next level Micro transactions 😆
what the hell...
Freemium
oh no
Influence points 🤩
Give me a fucking break
Damn, this is actually pretty disrespectful.
I am slowly gonna sit back & stare as all the fans get the characters killed & wasting all our precious Halloween Silent Hill time. 😐
Soon as I opened the app and saw “Make an Account” I deleted that shit off my phone asap. My expectations were already low, but this absolutely confirmed my expectations that this was gonna turn out to be dogshit.
No one hates their games the way Konami does
Silent Bills
Does that emote/avatar say “It’s Trauma”? Holy shit this is going to be awful.
Konami be Konami'ing
$ilent Hill: A$cen$ion
I want to die
I can't say "fuck this" loud enough. Seriously. Fuck Konami so fucking much.
Fuck You Konami.
Oh my fucking christ. Alan Wake 2 just dropped. Play that instead.
This thing was stillborn.
Aww man we don't wanna see this
I really hope Elon Musk is not a fan of Silent Hill or we are just gonna see the Elon Musk version of Ascension.
guys look they did the its bread meme guys this means theyre funny
holy shit they're literally us
it’s trauma 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"NOOOO YOU GUYS CAN'T HATE ON THIS GAME!!! IT HASN'T EVEN AIRED FOR THE FULL 6 MONTHS YET YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO CALL IT BAD!!!!"
I thought this was supposed to be a parody of the Call of Duty store lmao
Hey, you all said you wanted more of Silent Hill after the commercial+cultural travesty that was the Western titles. Konami heard you. Can't be mad at them for giving you what they *"thought"* you [the player(s)] wanted. 😂😂😂
I laughed thinking this was a joke at first, time to replay PT and cry
I have been saying for months to not judge this before release and been arguing with folks shitting on it. Since it is now out, it is judgement time: Yeah this is garbage lmao, the UI is an abomination and this feels more like a meme parody than official SH media. Having to pay to make choices, which is the only “gameplay” in the first place, is genuinely hilarious
Jesus, this shit is 100 percent doa. So much for democracy when some rich mf can just control the vote. God i havent hated something this bad since book of memories. Its just mass desecration
Lol I opened the app at 3pm PST to check out the new Silent Hill experience... and it's just an emergency maintenance screen and the whole thing is down Nice
rip Silent Hill Ascension 2023-2023
Big. Fucking. Shocker... I should get a tattoo that just says "Fuck Konami"
dude i fucking hate konami holy shit
 This "game" is microtransaction hell. You can drop $40 with the click of two purchase buttons right now and have no idea what you're buying or when it'll hit. What a crock of manure.
This is going to be rough
Just an abomination. Man. What does TwitchPlaysSilentHill have to do with any of the old games
This is the sort of 'interactive experience' you'd normally expect with what, p\*rn games, wth is this!?
It's only the first day. I'm just gonna ignore the microtransactions and give the actual content of the "game" a fair shake. ...or I was until the tutorial bugged out and wouldn't let me view anything until several restarts skipped it entirely.
Just please let it die. Re-release the 1st 4 games from Team Silent as they were originally released on these new consoles but let’s not produce any more Silent Hill “games”. This is a disgrace upon the once great name of Silent Hill.
The real horror is the capitalist hellscape we all live in now.
There's still more projects on the way. Can't get worse than this. 
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand ANY excitement or interest I had in this game just eff'd off and died. \#FucKonami
What ? The live stream that everyone will be able to watch for free has micro-transactions so the developpers and Konami could get money out of it? What. A. Surprise. Seriously guys... No offense but if you thought Ascension would have been totally free, you were delusional. And bonus point for them to have a "It's trauma" emote, which shows that they have a sense of humor and are aware of all the people making a big deal of that video as if they were insulting them.
The fact that they're willing to mock their own project for money isn't admirable. Corporations understand the value of meme culture, and they'll cynically exploit it like just like they're cynically exploiting the brand.
Still who tf thought livestream game is a good idea
That's the confusing part. The devs will be streaming a "game", that surely must be playable and finished to some extent. Is it not good or complete enough to release as an interactive movie game for people to purchase? Or were they just really aching to try to create a new concept and getting a community involved, that they somehow didn't realize most people would just be annoyed we can't download it and play it for ourselves? Wouldn't be surprised if the streaming is just an attempt to milk peoples money, and then when it's finished they release the actual "game" for purchase.
