I've seen a lot of criticism and defense of this stance already. People are saying the franchise is going to go downhill as it becomes rushed, and on the other side, people are pointing out that Capcom has said the same thing about Resident Evil which keeps turning out bangers.

I think it's important to note that Capcom actually hasn't really acheived the annual release schedule, even if it is releasing games really quickly (and sometimes one right after another). There was a three year break between RE4R and Requim. There's also been some games that aren't really held in as high regard as others: RE3R was criticized a lot for cut content, Village didn't really get the same praise as the remakes or RE7.

Most of the evidence that we have shows that this kind of development schedule isn't sustainable, even with multiple dev teams working at the same time. Also, there are reasons to worry besides just the game quality, like, how workers are being treated to achieve such tight deadlines.

I haven't hard really anyone commenting on the direction to continue taking Silent Hill out of Silent Hill (the town). So far, feedback about Silent Hill F seems mixed (I haven't had a chance to play it myself yet) and Townfall is looking to be controversial as well.
