Silent Hill: Ascension, the interactive TV series thingy from Konami, is almost here, with the first episode airing on 31st October. We have a premiere trailer to set the scene, and you can get in on the action weekly via the Sony Pictures Core app on PS5 and PS4, on a browser, or through the increasingly essential PlayStation mobile app.
Ascension tells twin narratives that will apparently be influenced by viewers and diverge according to the whims of the masses. The trailer's description reads, "Every day, your choices and the actions of millions will shape the story and determine its final outcome. Redemption, suffering, or damnation? YOU decide."
The Hernandez family, in a fading rust-belt town in Pennsylvania, and the Johansen's, residents of a lonely fishing village in Norway, have grief in common. Both families recently suffered losses under mysterious circumstances and, throughout the season, will need to overcome a sadistic cult and their own worst impulses to survive and uncover the horror that links them.

This is honestly why Konami needs to focus on just making a silent hill game, not this...
Hmmm, it's interesting that it's going to be part of the Sony Pictures Core thing.
Better not to touch the ip at all than to further tarnish it's rep with junk like this.
I was kind of ragging on it behind the scenes joining in the hateorade gang but honestly, it could be fun. I agree it feels like a dark pictures game with silent hill branding slapped on but it could work. I downloaded the app tonight and I kind of had a change of heart. I’ll try it, I always was going to.
That being said I’d rather we just got the 2 remake than this. I can’t wait for that.
Anyone else have a hunch that Konami are waiting to see what happens with Ascension’s story outcomes so they can tie it into the 2 remake? Sort of trying to create a universe of sorts… The tagline “shape silent hill canon forever” makes me think that. This also gives more hints to a release timeline for the 2 remake.
It could be pretty neat but I'm just confused as to how Konami will make any money off of this? Unless it's meant to be free to just drum up Silent Hill interest which would make sense. I don't know it's strange but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
I was interested up until “interactive TV series”
Another #notmy to add to the list🤦 we will make it better how about no il stay with the original. Anything made these days is cringe though some hope with Stallone productions when TV is mentioned.
This almost makes it look like it was made by people who have absolutely no idea what Silent Hill is, and that can't be right, right? I mean the devs surely played some of the games.
People, how about waiting until it's out before passing judgement. Fandom doesn't mean not being open to new ideas.
@tameshiyaku lol you sure they prefer to tear down what has been built look at what Disney did to star wars and marvel latest victim is daredevil. The same group will have gotten into write for this. I'm tired of this when I hear theres Gona be a new TV show or movie now I cringe used to be something I looked forward to now I keenly avoid. Il hear about this from chato and co.
This looks like The Dark Pictures Anthology entry which I don't mind at all. If it ends up being good, I may bite later.
This is gonna bomb hard. Just give us SH2 Remake already...
"Redemption, suffering or damnation" could easily refer to the reviews on this one
@Mad001 I partially agree on Marvel, but am hopeful with daredevil being scrapped and rewritten.
Star War's however is just another proof of petty insatiable fans who clearly don't know what they want. Ep 7... A copy of the originals, EP 8... too different and not Star wars, EP 9... too much fan service. And then they come with the argument that it's all because of bad writing, but in the end it's just a bunch of salty dweebs that can't enjoy anything in life. Spineless corps like Disney don't know how to react, dump creators visions and end up stifling possible innovation.
If all that stuff is really so bad, why not discover something new!? Fan dweebs always complain the lack of originality, but I never see the same people discussing anything beyond their fandoms. How about watching something from A24 or criterion, read a book, play an indie game or create something for goodness sakes instead of knocking things down before it's even available.
@tameshiyaku the thrawn trilogy from the 90s
Timothy zahn should of been the sequel trilogy. It built on what was not tore it down.
I'm rewatching Babylon 5. That's true we have years of great movies and TV shows to watch and books to read, il just by pass this mess till we can get back to the successful shows we like star Trek TNG , breaking bad , die hard , lethal weapon etc cut off point for me is 2015.
Have a good one
@Mad001 yup, all good stuff there
This is so unbelievably bad! Who signed this off?! Scratch and sniff offers a better interactive experience than this nonsense.
And let's be honest... silent hill's storyline is hardly It's strong point. Largely absolute nonsensical nonsense. And that's being kind.
