so i just heard about the new silent hill game, townfall, and i am totally stoked. it's coming out on september 24 for the playstation 5, and from what i've learned so far, it's going to be a really unique entry in the series. the game is set on a remote scottish island, which is already giving me all the creepy vibes. i mean, who doesn't love a good foggy atmosphere, right?

so, townfall is going to be the first full-length silent hill game to use a first-person perspective, which is a bit of a departure from the traditional third-person view. apparently, this was a coincidence, as another silent hill game, the short message, also used a first-person view, but was developed by a different team. the developersRead more: Full article on blog.playstation.com
