Silent Hill

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I don’t think F will be a VN, but I think the writing quality will be that of a VN. Complete shit.
Tbf, he did write the best written VN. Silent Hill in terms of writing isn't that complicated, so it should be fine.
Its going to be more forced rika and satoko murderlesbian shit judging from the few shots of what appears to be the protagonist limping back home with a rusty pipe.

Ryukishi does recycle his characters a lot with some fictional multiverse pocket dimension that behaves more like an actual alien holodeck with some bullshit anime fuckery involved.
Hey now, Ryukishi didn't write Gou and given how he stopped talking about it after the first few episodes. He probably regrets shilling for it.

OT: I'm calling it bois, F is going to be decent and the remake is going to be a trashfire.

I hope it's at least better than what im expecting, saw some promise in that first trailer but the fact that the protagonist appears to be a barefooted schoolgirl is scaring me that the game's headed towards the coomer weeb side

I dont know why, but recently ive been lowering my expectations for the Remake... Idk, guess i just want to be hopeful

Ito's and Yamaoka's opinions are meaningless. Of course they're going to tow the line because they have families to feed.

Ito has gone on record to say he hated being the person that designed Pyramid Head. I guess since it was bastardized and reused endless times out of context of what he is.
 
Seems like Ito's going out of his way to ruin his own continuity.

I’ve seen people say that a million times but I just don’t believe it. Who knows, maybe I’ll watch a story summary of Silent Hill F when it releases. Still won’t buy it though.
 
Its over, they're adding more combat to SH2 remake... This thing is going to suck
If combat is what they're concerned with, they didn't understand the game at all. You don't play it for the combat. It's clunky and bad on purpose since James isn't a soldier.

The main reason to play Silent Hill is for the story and atmosphere. It isn’t meant to be like Resident Evil or Dead Space.

It's not like he was a big part in the writing team, he only came up with the monsters designs and the art direction, Hiroyuki Owaku was the one that came up with the story.

That said I don't know, they could be genuinely excited or just doing lip service hard to tell because Ito looks so dead in the inside. Not liking the fact that they seem to be all about the graphics making everything super detailed instead of letting space for your imagination to go wild, this is something that all the old games excelled at and also added another layer to the psychological horror.

Given how he still shills Gou merch on twitter with the exponentially increasing volume of satoko and rika spam (because everyone else left), he just doesn't care. Then he shilled anniversary events for his other IP's briefly before shilling gou merch again.

The remake would really do well to get rid of the tank controls. They're an artifact from programmers who didn't know how to make thirdperson controls and Unreal Engine 5 comes with a decent thirdperson setup by default. It makes Silent hill a slog to go through and kills any replay value to where I'm better off watching the story in a video.

Again, gameplay isn't the selling point with the early SH games.

The reason the old games were so unnerving to play is because the character is often surrounded in darkness and you cannot see a fucking thing. Having it OTS would allow the player to have way too much control of the flashlight. At that point, go play every other modern action shooter.

Controlled camera shots set the mood for so much of SH2. I went through the fan HD project a few months back a few times and it still holds up.

I can't believe these niggers have the gall to "enhance the scare factor" or whatever the fuck it is.

I don't really find much of anything scary these days but I'm still unnerved as fuck by the first three games atmosphere.
There really is nothing like how the first 3 games do horror. SH4 could’ve been scary but the monster sounds were borderline comedic. SH2 still has some of the best atmosphere in video games but the remake will fuck it up with cheap jump scares.

Third person doesn't always mean OTS. It just means any other POV besides the player character's. Silent hill by default is a third person game.

It just means the player character doesn't control like a malfunctioning alien android and the updated gameplay is more streamlined in the form of slower character animations to compensate.

Fair enough. SH isn't fixed camera, but the camera changes quite a bit. Tank controls is the best way around that when dealing with transitions.

Fully analog plays like shit in REmake and Zero remasters, but those weren't designed for that. But something like the Outbreak series was, and even that still plays kinda shitty and I resort to tank controls since one little bump on the stick will make you change direction during the camera change.

But if you're considering getting this, I wouldn't worry about tank controls since no developer wants to challenge their players anymore.

With the understanding that Umineko is that good, and therefore I'm obligated to shill for it.
Here's my sales pitch, Ahem...
Mc goes to a family conference where his relatives are all fighting over their inheritance, everyone is then systematically murdered.
He then wakes up in Purgatory where he is then challenged by a nigh omnipotent godlike entity to an intellectual game to see if he can solve which of the 19 possible suspects did it. Eventually other gods start joining in with their own agendas and attempt to interfere with each other.

A little taste of how it goes. (All of the murders are sealed rooms btw.)
Imo Umineko is the literary endpoint for the murder mystery genre. Instead of solving an increasingly simplified single string of murders, you have to solve for a matrix of murders.
If you still have an aversion for reading a VN, there is also a manga. But I'm told it skips out on some parts of the story, and obviously you wouldn't hear the absurdly good soundtrack or voice acting.
If combat is what they're concerned with, they didn't understand the game at all. You don't play it for the combat. It's clunky and bad on purpose since James isn't a soldier.

Its the year, current year, Silent Hill still doesn't get it and is still trying to be Resident Evil.
