YouTuber Reveals Fan-Made ‘Silent Hill’ Remake Trailer Using Unreal Engine 5 [Video]
Here we go again with talk of a Silent Hill remake. Only this time, instead of Konami leading the charge, this is a fan-made reinterpretation of what Silent Hill could look like if it harnessed the power of the Unreal Engine 5.
YouTube channel TeaserPlay, which has also done remake videos for The Last of Us, Max Payne, Manhunt 2 and more, dropped their take on a theoretical “what if?” for the Survival Horror classic, stressing that this trailer for Silent Hill is “just a Concept (Fan Project) trailer to show the power of Unreal Engine 5”. Despite this, their trailer does show a few seconds of gameplay, just to sell the idea that this is a real trailer for the game.
According to the channel, they used UE5’s Lumen renderer for the trailer, and placed the camera on a close third person to try and achieve “the deep and horrific atmosphere of the original game”. They also tried to edit the trailer in an unorthodox fashion to drive home that unsettling feeling of the original.
Personally, there should be more fog in Silent Hill. Then again, it’d end up obscuring much of the modelling work the team had done for the trailer. Ah, well.
Again, if you haven’t been up to speed on the latest round of rumours for Silent Hill, they involve Bloober Team and a remake of Silent Hill 2, for starters. There’s also talk of another in-development Silent Hill entry that had images leaked last month.
Thanks to DSOGaming for the heads up.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
