Related, the process of making the Silent Hill f trailer.

Nice stuff!

As I'd thought, the girl is confirmed not to be the game protagonist, and I'm guessing that like the nurses, she may be an enemy type. My feeling is because her design is too generic by itself to be a supporting cast member. Also the scarecrow girl with a sickle and the girl dragging a pipe suggest enemies.

Erosion and Fog are key visual themes aimed at beautiful horror. The trailer depicts actual events relevant in the game's narrative, so it's not just a conceptual visual demo, but is telling a part of the story. The time says June 1960, but the actual game could take place later.

The trailer was a separate company using UnReal 4. I think they may be handling other cutscene cinematics for the game.

If we were to ask AlexShepard, he would most definitely say the f stands for foreskin.

But in all seriousness, both forte and flower(s) are likely, the aesthetics of the teaser trailer seem to hint at that.

I'm so glad I wasn't around for that.

It's probably a Reddit reference.

This must have happened during my 2014-2019 hiatus from the fandom. I don't recall this at all.

Y'all don't know about The Foreskin Incident? It's a reference to the SH Wiki. Admin went crazy and rewrote like every article to make everything in all of the games about circumcision. Was probably like 8 to 10 years ago or something at this point, yeah. A good example of why you can't always trust wikis.

This era of the fandom was truly a dark age my God. Dude went all in on circumcision. Fun fact, if someone starts blaming satanic cults it's probably someone who's losing/lost their mental health completely.

Hmmm, weird... I recall some circumcision rumor was going around regarding a once "taboo" project that Hideo Kojima said he was pitching back within Konami before working on MGSV, but that didn't receive approval. Kojima in no way said anything relating to what it actually was outside of that word, so it was obviously just some fan-troll wankery, but it's weird to see this sort of thing crop up again. Feels like a meme...
