As good as Silent Hill f might be, don't expect it to be the norm for the series, says its series producer

When you review a game, if you don't know anyone else that's also reviewing it, it can be a bit difficult to guess how it might be received overall. There's normally some assumptions you can make, but with a series like Silent Hill, a series where the general consensus is all over the place from game to game, it's certainly not easy to predict. I myself ended up being quite fascinated by Silent Hill f in my review of it, but in a recent interview series producer Motoi Okamoto said that despite an overall positive reception, you shouldn't expect every consequent game to be just like it.

Silent Hill f modder removes the fog a day before release, beginning game's logical transformation into a wholesome life sim

Silent Hill f hasn't even fully released yet on Steam but some bright spark has already taken advantage of pre-order early access to mod away the fog. In my youth, I'd have called this vandalism. "Why stop at the weather?" I'd have yelled at the screen, throwing my hands up. "Why not mod out the psychological trauma as well? Why not relocate it to Aarhus, Denmark - the fourth happiest city in the world according to the BBC - and rebrand it as Noisy Plateau?" I am older now and resigned to the mischief of modders. Besides, I kind of want to play a well-lit, upbeat Silent Hill game.
