Fan Creates a Trailer For a VR Version of ‘Silent Hill 2’
Sadly, while we still haven’t gotten anything close to an announcement regarding the return of the Silent Hill franchise (despite that “too good to be true” rumour a few weeks back), fans are once again coming to the rescue. In this case, 3D artist and animator Hoolopee (who also created a PS1 demake trailer for Death Stranding) has built a concept trailer for a VR version of Silent Hill 2.
Composed of the actual assets from the original Silent Hill 2 game with new models made in Blender, the VR concept trailer reimagines some of the more iconic moments from Silent Hill 2 through the eyes of James Sunderland. The player character can be seen checking his map, fighting a Lying Figure, solving puzzles, and fleeing from Pyramid Head.
In what appears to be a way to get around going into an inventory screen, James’ inventory instead appears over his arm. Furthermore, the solution to the hospital drain puzzle, the combined hook and hair item, is now a physics-based puzzle.
Oh, if it were only a real game…
Props to RelyonHorror for this one.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
