'60% of the script stayed the same': ryukishi07's was on the money for Silent Hill f, the only problem was that some ideas were too big for the budget

A huge moment of hype in Silent Hill f's pre-release was when it was announced that none other than ryukishi07 would be writing the script. A marriage made in heaven, and it turns out that the famous horror novelist wasted absolutely no time getting to work with the latest Silent Hill game.

"He is a super fast writer, and he's a very detailed kind of guy, too," director Al Yang told PCG's senior editor Wes Fenlon at GDC. "The final version of the script only went through like three, three and a half full revisions. About 60% of the script stayed the same, but that 60% was kind of the core themes and kind of the key beats. Those never changed."
