Very early versions of the game didnt actually have fog at all and used the same textured geometry fade-in as Tenchu Stealth Assasins.

Hey look, it's the point that he was making. Funny, that.

Hey look, Tenchu shipped with that solution just fine, but they added fog to Silent Hill to make the game more atmospheric, but i guess it's you that doesn't comprehend that.

Or should i spell it out for you - Early versions of the game had a working solution that didn't require fog, and still had plenty of horsepower left over - but developers felt a thick fog closing in around the player was more atmospheric than rolling darkness.
