I'll try to reply to points highlighted by the both of you, to try and play devil's advocate for a bit:

• I really don't think the combat looks like anything we've seen from Resident Evil. Honestly, I don't even know if there's gonna be a gun in the game, judging from the trailers.
• The main character clearly looks like an inept at handling weapons too, like the old games. We don't really know how much damage we take or how easy the combat is, but it's obvious they couldn't come out in 2025 with a combat system as stiff, clunky and annoying as the one featured in the first trilogy. Many games in the last decade have shown that you can have a combat system that feels fluid but also have it so that you may want to not fight, for one reason or another (If I recall correctly, weapons do break in the game after a certain amount of use - that's surely a deterrent from using them).
• There's a difficulty setting at the start of the game, so I'm sure you can just crank it up to hard if you want to have a though survival horror experience.
• We have no way of knowing how they'll connect the whole situation to the town of Silent Hill, that's true. I'm honestly not disturbed by this as I never felt the physicalness of buildings and road to be the important factor. For all we know, Silent Hill is a catalyst that connects people living through particular distressing emotions to a horrorific underworld - who says it cannot happen in another part of the globe?

.

Additionally, Silent Hill has generally focused on people with some sort of dark past, with the exception of the 1st, 3rd, and 4th game.

I... I don't think this counts as a very strong argument if you read the sentence a couple of times. The 3rd entry is, in its actual form, beloved by many fans of the original trilogy.

I don't know peeps, I understand the sentiment of wanting a good game but we should genuinely just wait and try out the game if we're interested. They can't simply make the same game over and over, because that'd be even worse. It's like with music artists, you know? Bob Dylan was shunned by many for "going electric", yet those albums are now considered absolute classics. I'm not trying to say Konami has the same artistic foresight of Dylan, but we should at least try to cut them some slack and hold our opinions until after the game has come out and we've been able to try it out :)
