New content slop out:
watching it as we speak but he calls the remake anti art and powerlevels hard about his wife having "bad memories" that ruined her love for silent hill and the only good thing about the remake was she can "make new memories with silent hill with someone that loves her"
even as someone who gets the "remake slop bad" the weird talk around sh2 from capcom drones has legit been funny as fuck to look at

Some redditor cracked the code, time loop theory confirmed?
 
I finished Shattered Memories and honestly it was incredible, not that scary but I loved it a lot - and I hate to admit it might be my favourite now, it was just so fuckin good.

Still the worst SH game for me and I started playing again on the PSP. I would play Downpour and Homecoming before this. Feels like a cross between of running simulator and the Until Dark games.

Yamaoka's best work is Contra: Shattered Soldier and even then he's outclassed by Sota Fujimori's songs on that soundtrack and the superior Neo Contra album.

He's pretty mid at sampling since half the time he doesn't even really do anything special and he really likes to reuse material. Replaying Shadows of the Damned and I recognize so many samples and drum beats from the latter day Silent Hills which was already something I found annoying with those titles.

I also believe he's not exactly hot shit on guitar either and what you hear on the records is a session musician. My only evidence is his live performances, a quick clip from a 20 plus year old making of SH2 documentry that shows someone else wailing on the guitar and whatever the hell is going on with some of the guitar playing in SH2 remake that sounds closer to the live performances.

I disagree, Yamaoka gets the praise he does because he is actually really good. Silent Hill almost made it's own genre of spooky 90's shoegaze. Mixed with industrial noises and moans. I get not thinking he's as hot shit as the cock waxers say, but saying he's mid is wild. His sampling work is great.
Yeah, he loves to reuse samples, basically every game from 1998 to 2005 used the exact same sample CD. Max Payne, Silent Hill, Ocarina of Time, Half Life 2, etc... It was just a really solid sample CD. Distorted Reality 2 and A Poke In the Ear With a Sharp Stick were like 90% of the soundscapes to things at the time, and they all just sort of tweaked the sample very mildly.
 
Just beat Sponge Scrub Daddy, this was the only time in the whole game I had to put the fight mode at easy. The fucking thing took two hours to beat and it eat most of my bullets.

Fucking Christ can we PLEASE stop treating Silent Hill as literally purgatory for FUCK'S sake!?

to be fair, I imagine purgatory is watching a shit ton of silent hill 2 video essays made by people who haven't played the game on an endless loop

I still think "military veteran in Silent Hill" is a masterful idea.

I like this idea as well, except Alex was never in the military, he just thought he was.
One of Silent Hill's main influences, Jacob's Ladder, featured an American infantryman who fought in the Vietnam War as the protagonist.

I would like a game where the protag is an ACTUAL veteran who relives the horrors of war in silent hill. Essentially a whole trip through PTSD. That’s assuming silent hill will ever be good again though.

The fact that Alex bullshit'd his military time was the final nutshot from the Double Helix crew. (((American))) Silent Hill sucked balls.

I haven't watched all of Jacob's Ladder, but the influence quickly becomes apparent.
