Once again, leave it up to the fans to come up with more Silent Hill goodies for the rest of us to enjoy. While this isn’t the entire game (more of a concept demo), game designer and Silent Hill fan Zero Trace Operative has spent “5 grueling months” recreating the opening of the first game in first-person.
Despite only being five minutes long, it’s still cool to see something like this come out that doesn’t involve a Pachinko machine. According to Zero’s blog about the project, the assets used in the demo are traced from model extractions rather than being ripped directly from the actual game. This resulted in “a 99% faithful rebuild of the world from scratch” that still holds its charm today.
Zero has no plans to continue further work on this, and considers it complete. Still, you know someone out there is itching to get going on a Silent Hill remake of their own.
Perhaps this could be a catalyst?
