Have you ever played a Silent Hill game?

The emphasis has never been on shooting anything. Especially not zombies because there have never been any. Tactical fleeing however has always been a part of the game.

Like BLueFire said, it's about atmosphere and the scares have never been about holy shit a monster is coming but rather about build-up of suspense and psychological scares.

Monster never run at you in past games. They kind of come at you at a ginger pace, taking their sweet time. I'm hoping this game maintains that and knowing that they could burst into full speed at any time would be somewhat harrowing.

You're a smart lad, child.
I would have assumed you know what I meant with my generic "Zombie" term.
Okay, fine - just for you. I am not a fan of the running away from spirits/apparitions and the like.


You know full-well I've played a Silent Hill game. We played through Silent Hill 2 together, so I'd really hope I'd at least played through one of them.

Tactical fleeing has always been part, you're right. But tactical fleeing when you're out of ammo/don't have enough/the right type, you flee. Not an "Oh shit, let's flee again" type of thing.

Apparently people can't let someones opinion go.
I don't like the idea of the game, because it's not for me. If it's your type of game, sweet - play it.
You won't change my opinion.
