For a few weeks the possibility of seeing new trailers for one of the new Silent Hill projects has been rumored, among which Silent Hill 2 sounded the loudest. However, the trailer we finally received was that of Silent Hill Ascension, a new experimental project that will be based on the game system in the cloud, where the decisions of the players will mark the future of this story that offers an interactive series base.
Although the trailer left a good taste in the mouth, many continued to wonder what this new title would be like, and it is something that the developers have responded to through Twitter. Some days ago, Jacob NavokCEO of Genvid, has shared new details of Silent Hill Ascensionconfirming that more than a game to use, we are facing an interactive streaming series in real time.
The new details of Silent Hill Ascension reveal some very interesting information
According to Navok’s words, each of the Silent Hill Ascension broadcasts that exists will be linked to a decision made by the players/spectators, which will have a real impact on how the story of this new project develops. There is no doubt that its approach is closer to that of a television series than that of a game itself, since as confirmed by the CEO of Genvid, we will have a broadcast schedule for players to prepare “a bit before” it becomes available.
According to Navok, all those players who connect once a day will be able to “see all available decisions for the next 24 hours.” And what happens with the most relevant decisions for the story? Well, according to his words, the most important decisions will be present well in advance, so that our actions can have a real impact on the development of the plot. But how will these decisions be made? By performing QTE in real time.
In case we are not online when the transmission of the “new chapter” is taking place, one of the most interesting details of Silent Hill Ascension that the director has shared is that it also we can influence the story with the puzzles of the community, which can be played without a pre-established rhythm, in order to have a more leisurely experience. In addition, we will have the possibility to keep an eye on the previous transmissions, in order to be completely updated with what has happened so far.
Finally, Navok confirmed that once the “first season” is finished, mini-seasons of “what if…” will be broadcast, in which the decisions that were chosen by the players in the canon line will be locked, thus forcing us to take a different path, in order to see another story line. Therefore, the new details of Silent Hill Ascension are really interesting, and there is more and more desire for it to be available, something that will happen at the end of the year.
