Silent Hill: Ascension, that “reside” tackle the traditional horror sequence, is lastly kicking off on Halloween itself, October 31.
Final week, it was noticed that the Google Play retailer web page for Silent Hill: Ascension had up to date to say it could be launching October 31, which developer Genvid later confirmed was the case. For people who aren’t conscious of the undertaking and simply want the Silent Hill 2 remake was out as an alternative, it is principally an interactive streaming sequence the place gamers will collectively vote on the occasions that happen. Consider one thing like Till Daybreak, however as an alternative of simply you making the choices, 1000’s of individuals are, which appears like a little bit of a nightmare mockingly. There’s one massive downside for Europeans although: it kicks off at 9pm ET, which within the UK is 2am, a bit late for many gamers particularly contemplating Halloween is on a college evening this 12 months.
You after all then is likely to be asking your self, “effectively how am I meant to even participate if I do not reside within the US then?” Genvid CEO Jacob Navok took to Twitter to elucidate the choice, however the reality he had to try this within the first place does sort of let you know there is likely to be an issue with how the sport is designed. In keeping with Navok, “all decisions can be found at minimal 24 hours prematurely. Essential selections can be found a number of days prematurely. You do not want to be there reside.”
Sure, this interactive reside sequence is not truly absolutely reside, it is simply the glorified cutscenes which might be the reside bit. Besides, that is not completely true both, as apparently there “are some issues which might be solely obtainable reside,” however Navok “set a rule early in manufacturing that something that adjustments story end result wants to have the ability to be participated in asynchronously.”
Proper, so, anybody in Europe principally simply will not get the reside remedy. You’re apparently in a position to watch the VODs after the very fact, and proceed to make extra selections, nevertheless it’s not likely the purpose is it? A minimum of we have nonetheless obtained Silent Hill F and Townfall to stay up for.
