Axed Silent Hill: Homecoming Easy mode explained |
Ó
Are you one of those gamers wondering where the hell the Easy mode for Silent Hill: Homecoming (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) went? If yes, then this should be a good day for closure.
MTV Mutliplayer blogger Patrick Klepek sent an email to Homecoming lead designer at Double Helix, Jason Allen, asking why they removed the said mode in the latest installation of the horror franchise.
Explains Allen,
Balancing for any game is always a difficult and somewhat onerous task. For Silent Hill, in trying to maintain that atmosphere, it was difficult to set an easy mode up for the game that still kept the player in highly agitated state. Though we did spend some time looking into how to go about it; in the end it came down to insufficient time to truly justify its inclusion. I'm a firm believer that if you put something in the game, it better be the same high standard as the rest of the game - or you should cut it.
Are you guys sold on his excuse? Personally, for someone like me who is always on the verge of getting cardiac arrest whenever playing a zombie game, the Easy mode would have provided for a much-needed relief. But that's just me, wussy girl.
What about you guys? Do share your thoughts below.

Shouldn't expect an easy mode or want one for that matter.
Sorry mr god of the world.
You're right, every game should be made how you want it to be made.
There's this thing called chioce, people are pretty fond of it.
*choice.
let's carry that logic over to cars...
no power steering, power brakes, ABS, traction control, seat belts....
driving is dangerous and anything that makes it safer is bound to make the driver complacent to the actual danger...
my statement is just as accurate, but that doesn't mean that's the way it should be.
Everything barring the seat belts was my first car.. and I drove that without complaint for 3 years.
Not everything in this world is easy nor has to be.
Now unless they have resolved the invert camera issue, an easy mode surely is the least of their worries... :S
my current car doesn't have half that stuff, but i like really do like being on edge when i drive. i really do think it makes me a safer driver. I love my car (it's a 71).
someone wanted those all those features and more (sounds like you have them now). who am i to say you shouldn't have them?
that was my point...
