My theory is it's referring to multiple personal hells.

That's kind of what Silent hill was.

P.T. offered a great experience on the surface, but I ended up disappointed because of the constant repetition and having to find the trigger to progress forward, taking away a lot of the horror later on. If the final product can get away from that, or make it all more natural like this trailer appears, then I'm in.

A little concerned. The original trilogy had more subtlety which is what made the creep factor effective. This is a bit too Hollywood in-your-face to have any real impact in terms of scares.

PT had a bit of both. I'm willing to give Kojima and Del Toro the benefit of the doubt.

Ok colour me interrested, I really liked the first Silent Hills games (the first 3). This looks nowhere near as good as those, but it looks a hell of alot bettertehn the rest of the SH games, and more importnatly, It looks as a offshoot, one that does not mimick the older ones. (As it stands I would consider Silent Hills to be an offshoot of Silent hill, not the same exact series.

That said, a bit too much "in your face" type of horror, which gets less effective as time goes by, a bit more subtle, and I am in without a second thought, If morpheus (or multiplat simply VR glasses) ar esupported, I am in without a second thought.

Games been an instant buy since the P.T. demo. Kojima is a God and Del Toro knows how to make a good horror movie. Oh and Norman Reedus is badass as well.

As for those complaining about the lack of subtlety, the P.T. demo had a lot of subtle elements that made it insanely frightening. It was the things like the breathing and that creepy radio that really made you paranoid.

This trailer was way less subtle, but it is also a trailer. They have under two minutes to get you hooked so of course it is a bit over the top. I expect the final game to be more open and less repetitive than the demo, but definitely containing the insanely creepy atmosphere of the demo with lots of subtle touches.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the actual game will have plenty of slow burn moments, This is just a trailer, teaser. It doesn't represent gameplay.

I'm looking forward to seeing some actual gameplay, hopefully there's still an inventory system and combat retained in some way. I'd hate for it to be entirely contextual. Although the PT demo was quite good.

How is the game going to be scary with an open world like Skyrim? Not every game needs to be open ended.

Easy man... I never said open world or open ended. But all we seen of this game is hallways and doors.

Loved the PT... and for full disclosure I dont think I ever made it to the end. sadly haha

I got stuck in the red hall loop. I seen enough halls.. Id like to see more.

(Example of scary without narrow halls: Brilliant courtyard lvl in Outlast)

According to who? They've not annouced any platform details as far as I'm aware and if it was exclusive I'd have thought Sony would be shouting from the rooftops about it.

This looks great though, I've seen people complaining that it doesn't look like a Silent Hill game which is a dumb complaint because, well, it ISN'T a Silent Hill game, that S is there for a reason. This seems to retain enough of the pant shitting terror and fear of the unknown that Silent Hill did so well and distill it into pure nightmare fuel so I'm down for that.

Oh okay, I see what you're saying. They could have a different environment type or 2.

It has some potential, I'll keep an eye out for this game.
