    Thank you to everyone who supported my thread about the possiblity of a new Silent Hill chapter! https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/153143/silent-hill-next-dlc-an-in-depth-analysis/p1

    I am extremely excited and can't wait to experience this in the game! I hope you all enjoy it as well, not just because of the ties to Silent Hill but because of the characters themselves! Pyramid Head is truly spooky and scary and I'm super stoked to play as AND against him!

    I can't imagine wanting Candyman. Such a nothing movie and I only found out recently it had sequels somehow. Alien is cool but I can't see it working.


    SH 2 and 3 are two of my top ten games of all time but I never imagined this could be a possibility. I still want Jason but as far as we know he'll always be off the table so this will do for me.

    I know some people have probably never heard of Silent Hill and are probably disappointed of how far their ignorance for this truly iconic, cold hard horror classic reaches.

    If you fall into that group of people, just take our word for it that this is a momentous and masterful license to be able to have in this game.

    Konami, the license owners have been known to be really tight fisted at lending rights to whoever wants it and I think whoever was able to attain the license deserves HUGE credit. Without them this definitely wouldn't have been possible.

    Everyone seemed to have overlooked this as a possible chapter because it was just accepted that it could never happen.

    For those of you complaining just embrace what Silent Hill is and accept it is a perfect game to house his toblerone shaped metal head.

    I am so excited for Pyramid Head and more Silent Hill content. Being the first horror video game killer will open the door for other video game horror franchises to join the fun. Still waiting for a new Silent Hill game Konami.

    There's actually a lot I'm excited about:

    The tribute to all the first 3 games (Area: SH; Killer: SH2; Survivor: SH3).

    The legendary skins, and that could be applied for.

    A killer which seems like a very different kind of stealth/oblivious build, especially considering The Executioner's daunting appearance.

    A survivor who can utilise The Entity.

    It also shows that, alongside Mr. Overbeck, Dbd are venturing into different mediums.

    Honestly, I'm intrigued in the lore, considering how Silent Hill, and in particular its God, relates to The Entity.

    Basically, really excited for this! Great work BHVR!

    Only odd about this post is the Gen X comment - I'd think most Gen X would really dig this.

    Look it's fine if you're personally disappointed about Pyramid Head because you were hoping for someone else and/or you're simply not interested in him.

    But to say that he didn't deserve his inclusion or that the series isn't iconic is just plain wrong.

  • Rivyn
    Rivyn Member Posts: 3,022

    Maybe so, but there are characters out there are stand out as 'iconic.' When the devs hype it up as 'emotional' and 'classic,' Silent Hill isn't the first on that list.

    Don't get me wrong, I like Silent Hill. I do think it's iconic, especially with the siren. But again, there are franchises out there that are above it.

  • ThisGuuy83
    ThisGuuy83 Member Posts: 1,303

    It was iconic for it's time, and for it's fanbase. But ask any 15yr old what silent Hill is, and 90% won't have a clue. Ask them who Dracula, Wolfman, Frankenstein, alien, pennywise, Jason, etc. and they know who that is. They put way too much hype behind it, for who it was. I think that's why a lot of people were disappointed as I was too. I didn't expect Jason(nor do I want him here), buy I expected more than pyramid head. Not trying to knock the chapter, but it is what it is.

    Lol wut?

    theres always going to be franchises and media that can be considered more iconic. I didn’t like the ghost face chapter because Jason is more iconic and they’re only allowed to release chapters that are the most iconic at the time.. do you see where I’m going with this. Silent hill is hugely iconic, especially in the world of video games, I think many forget or don’t know that silent hill completely changed the game for horror in gaming.

    People have to realise that unless it was the 1 or 2 out of 6 or 7 chapter you wanted then there was always going to be disappointment.

    As soon as we knew it was licensed then that created this "I want this or I'm disappointed". I personally would've been disappointed by Candyman but I know a lot of others would've been happy. Silent Hill was the unlikely choice I didn't expect them to choose but I'm so happy they did it.

    I love everything about the chapter so far. The perks on the killer side are the only downside I'm seeing so far.

    Think what you will. I personally think Silent Hill isn't up there with some of the more classic characters, like Alien, Dracula, and Jason. I'll enjoy the DLC, just not as much as if the hype was accurate. Whether you think it fits is up to you.

    I haven’t been this excited since the Halloween chapter came out. Silent Hill has been in my life for such a long time. I was pretty much raised on it as my brother used to play it a lot when I was younger. Which then manifested into me playing the games and also watching the movies. A few weeks back I joked with my friend about Pyramid Head coming to the game because I noticed that the 4 in the anniversary logo looked just like his head. Didn’t realise this was actually going to come to fruition. I am so pumped to play as and against him. Judging from the PTB he is terrifying in the best way possible.

    I personally agree as a long time horror fan. If you discount movies from the argument,I would say he's easily one of the most iconic monsters in horror gaming history. I really don't think there's many more that are even close.

    My last tweet this morning before the stream was saying "I think it'd be cool if it wasn't something from a movie. Like from a show,game,or book." So I really wasnt disappointed. I wanted something that didn't fit all the "clues" and that a ton of people didn't guess.

    I feel like they must have had a hell of a time getting Konami to sign off on this. Probably found out they sell $10-12 skins and it was a done deal,lol. He's an icon from a classic horror franchise. Wasn't like they were lying.

    I'm sure a lot of players are horror fans,but I'd say just as many are gamers first and foremost. Any gamer (especially ones into horror games) is going to know what Silent Hill and Pyramid Head are. Can a person really say the same about Candyman? A property that hasn't had a film in like two decades and wasn't that popular to begin with.

    I think it's a really great choice and I can see why it was emotional and meant something to them. They made an online horror game. I'm sure they really are fans of the property. The franchise has had a big influence in the horror communities. I hope this means some of the rumors about a Silent Hill game coming for next gen are true. Heather...was an interesting choice. Seems kinda odd, considering.

    Well that settles it, I'm convinced. If you know about it then every teen out there must, too 😉

  • Vox_Nocturne
    Vox_Nocturne Member Posts: 545

    Silent Hill has had a massive influence, basically moving survival horror into more psychological territory. Games including Dead Space; The Evil Within; Amnesia; Outlast and numerous indie games owe a huge debt to Silent Hill.

    In terms of other media, Stranger Things was strongly influenced, and both musically and artistically impacted heavily on the use of atmosphere. Various Creepypasta and SCP references are also bound to Silent Hill (SCP-106) in popularising the alternate world/reality technique.

    I think it was also the first series that explored previously unexplored subjects such as incest, domestic abuse, adoption and psychological abuse.

    In terms of a video game, I would certainly say this is iconic.

    Silent Hill is a series I was always fascinated by when I was younger, but i never had the opportunity to play it. I don't have a PS2 anymore and I've always wanted to try the HD collection, but reviews convince me not to because it apparently doesn't do justice to the original Silent Hill 2 and 3. It also seems like the newer generation SH games like Homeocoming or Downpour don't hold up either.

    So I am beyond excited that Silent Hill is coming to DBD! When I first started playing back in 2018, I thought Pyramid Head would be a great addition to the game and it's actually happening now!

    I'm watching my favorite content creators play on the PTB and I am astounded. The killer and survivor perks look interesting, Pyramid Head looks like he'll be a strong killer, and the map's terrifying atmosphere has me speechless (the sirens in the trailer and when you load into the map get me excited every time).

    Thank you for another amazing chapter, devs. I love DBD and I love you. I hope my appreciation post makes you smile amid the "Killer OP pls nerf" and "PyRaMiD HeAd IsN't IcOnIc" posts. <3

    I'm actually pretty happy. Pyramidhead fits this game much better than Pennywise or Alien and he is also much more interesting. Perks are pretty weak in my opinion. I won't talk about survivor because it's just a skin

    Now tell me what you are thinking about this chapter!
