The ESRB—Entertainment Software Rating Board—is, notionally, there to stick age ratings on games that make sure little Timmy and Sally aren't scarred for life by the torture scene in GTA 5. In reality, I'm beginning to suspect the whole thing is a gigantic operation made to scupper games industry PRs' carefully laid marketing plans. Like when it leaked the Horizon remaster, or Skull & Bones, or Quake, or Catherine.
It's not doing much leaking today, but the ESRB has nonetheless gone absolutely ham describing just what kind of nastiness you can expect from Konami's upcoming Silent Hill f, which just recently broke cover with a new trailer after a prolonged period of silence following the success of Bloober Team's third-person wife-finder. It takes place in the '60s, is the first Silent Hill set in Japan, and its core concept is, says script-writer Ryukishi07, "Find the beauty in terror."
