Silent Hill: Townfall developer announces balance patch to address 'The Weight'

gamingOct 1, 202625268

Silent Hill: Townfall hit a snag after players flagged the enemy known as The Weight, and developer Screen Burn confirmed an incoming balance patch to make The Weight stealth sections less frustrating. Fans are split between praising Townfall’s atmosphere and calling out its combat and stealth design, with several playthrough posts highlighting tension in those sequences. A few creators are pausing streams until the update lands, while a VTuber built a new reactive element specifically for Townfall to match the game’s mood during broadcasts.

Yikes was that bad huh?….. why does this make me wanna play it more?….. I mean I was gonna play it regardless if it sucked or not but I’m definitely gonna wait for it to go on sale would this be the first stinker with the VTuber model you say?

I tried listening to the first stream this morning and concluded the rest of the game probably wasn't worth it if there was that little detail and intrigue within the first few hours.

I’m glad the studio is listening. A frustrating stealth section can sour an otherwise great game, so a patch that smooths out the rough edges is a welcome win.

if you're saying Silent Hill DOWNPOUR is a truer Silent Hill game than Townfall simply because Murphy Actually Goes There you're just a not a serious person worth having a conversation with, I'm sorry

silent hill is a state of mind. any place can be silent hill if you're tortured enough.

The real Silent Hill was the self-hatred we physically manifested along the way.

"no, you see, they should have named it 'game where the protagonists are tormented by their perceived mistakes and guilt in a foggy purgatory dimension by the owner of the silent hill IP, unrelated to the silent hill IP'"

If this is about townfall, I dunno I vibe a lot with it so far and don't understand the hate it's getting. Plus haven't like all the games after 3 been outside Silent Hill?

It's been really cool being able to play a new Silent Hill every October for the last 3 years.

So here's the little thing I made for today's stream. Townfall doesn't play nice with vtube studio so I decided to make a new reactive for it! #artobuki #silenthill #townfall #art

“Silent Hill: Townfall isn’t a Silent Hill game because it’s not set in Silent Hill”

As an atmospheric Horror game, Silent Hill: Townfall might be one of the best. Unfortunately, elements such as its poorly designed combat weigh it down greatly. Our Review: pixelbytegaming.com/silent-hill-...
