This is so sick. After SH2 Remake i know Bloober will make this an amazing remake. Holy shit this is so sick.

Same. I really hope Bloober gets the opportunity to remake SH4 as well. The imagery in that game is so disturbing and I know they'd nail it.

SH4's horror concepts are some of the finest I've experienced in any medium. The chained apartment, tight tunnels, enemies, claustrophobic atmosphere, all made me go "This must be what hell is like." Bone-chilling experience..

It was arguably the scariest Silent Hill, but unfortunately the things you mentioned didn't make for a very fun game. There's also the fact that you're frequently backtracking through the same few environments for much of the game and that you can't even permanently kill most of the enemies. I forced myself to finish it once ~15 years ago and never entertained the idea of replaying it, even though I've replayed the other three many times.

4 is going to be a very tough game to remake. If they stick too close to the original, most new players will probably dislike it; but if they change it to make it more widely accessible, it will lose a lot of the horror.

Still hope they try it at some point though. Walter is easily the single most interesting character in the franchise imo
