Silent Hill series producer Motoi Okamoto says 'as the series progressed, I felt that the essence of Japanese horror was lost'

While the big news out of Konami's Press Start event was the welcome announcement that Bloober Team is remaking the original Silent Hill, there was also a substantial behind-the-scenes segment on the upcoming Silent Hill F, which we'll see a lot sooner than a remake Konami didn't even have footage of.

Silent Hill F is a prequel set in Showa-era Japan. Which isn't the first time Silent Hill has left the town it's named after—the opening of Silent Hill 3, for instance—but is taking a much further trip, all the way to a small town called Ebisugaoka.
