Mysterious Hill I guess there’s no answer to this but I’m going to ask the question anyway: why is Konami suddenly so obsessed with Silent Hill? There’s talk of multiple new games, a remake, a new film… you’d think this was some mega franchise beloved the world over, but it’s not. Even Silent Hill 2 barely sold more than a million copies and it’s all been downhill since then.

Don’t get me wrong, I do like Silent Hill 2 and 3 but I don’t even know what’s to gain from a remake. Sure, the graphics will be better, but the game was never about the action so if they’re trying to turn it into Resident Evil that’s going to be completely missing the point.

The point was that your character was just a completely ordinary dude. He wasn’t good at fighting and barely got by with just swinging a plank around. Maybe the remake could be good, maybe the other games will be good, but I just don’t get this. And why aren’t they putting at least equal effort into Castlevania? At least people have heard of that.Preston

New gods So it’s been said that God Of War Ragnarök will be the last set around Nordic mythology, so what do we think is going to happen next? The series is far too successful to just stop but they seem to be building up to Kratos’ death (he looks so old in the last trailer!) and some big changes.

I don’t even know if Atreus is being groomed to take over, as it’s hrd to guess where his story is going (anyone’s that beaten the last game will know what I’m getting).

I think it’s easier to guess what mythology it will take
