I may have missed something but isn't Clive Barker English?

@thy_butcher: Obscure was a pretty good game, remember when Alan Wake was all "check out our awesome fight with light mechanic!"? It's completely taken from Obscure. From what I've heard of the Downpour soundtrack on the vids with the incessant German blabbering I really like it, I was a l...

^They mentioned that some sidequests might unlock extra options in the menu, so I really hope that there's an unlockables section in there.

The first time I heard him say "What... the... Hell...?". Seriously. A little bit of information for those who hate Henry for his alleged repetition of "What the hell?": He only says it four times . Harry repeats his stupid "little girl, short, black hair" routine thre...

^That's not really a good comparison. Harry has to use the ball, key etc to progress in the game, we know that he must have done that because SH3 exists, therefore we can safely assume that he did not die in the school no matter how ridiculous the solution to a puzzle was. Harry does not have to use...

I would say that "well acted" is a bit of a stretch unless you add the word comparatively before it.

@thy_butcher- Strange. I remember hearing that it starts raining whenever enemies are nearby. So I figured if that's the case, then the radio wouldn't be used for much more than nostalgic purposes, I guess... From the information we've been given that's not quite how it's going to work, it's not th...

@Hydra666- I was looking at the screens you edited there, when it reminded me of that 40 min. preview that Whitney posted up for us. At one point in the video, there was a devloper commentary in the upper left hand corner of the screen that said: " LIGHTING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT ". So you j...

I'd say it's fair to dislike Eddies new voice at this point.

*sigh* all you want shack, I checked the controller options in game, and felt like a moron for not doing it before, there are a ton of different controller set ups (8 to be precise, labelled A to H) and each set up has either objective or subjective controls. Objective gives the controls that you ar...

Just checked the controls menu, you can choose between objective and subjective, thus we are both right and both wrong and both look kinda like idiots.

I'm literally playing it now. Right now, I have the controller in my hand, if I push the stick to the left she turns in a circle to the left, and keeps on turning until I press forward or square. if I push right, she turns in a circle to the right and she'll keep turning forever until I press forwar...

Editing out my whole post because I'm completely doubting myself now. I'm still certain that Fatal Frame (at least FF1) uses tank controls, but I need to dust off the PS2 to confirm my suspicions. EDIT playing it now, it uses tank controls for the most part, that is to say that the character turns i...

Fatal Frame uses tank controls.

I agree fully with Hydra here, the way I see it the otherworld is where the protagonists psyche manifests itself in all it's strength, that's where the differences between the games should be. The foggy world should be something of a blank slate, the blanket of white fog reflects that, it should see...

You'd rather delete your account than resize your avatar? O_o

Yeah but PETA would have killed it anyway if Harry had taken locker cat to them, probably on the grounds that it was a "broken being" having spent so much time in a small, cramped environment. Then they'd have chucked it's carcass in a dumpster behind a shopping centre, because they're coo...

Monster wrote:Guys, guys, stabbing and bludgeoning are equally violent acts in their own way! I think there's room in Silent Hill for both.

Don't try and curtail our discussion on the merits of stabbing vs bludgeoning with your goddamned socialist ideals!


@Typo, well that would be perfect for Downpour.

I can't really explain why too well but there's just something about bludgeoning which strikes me as more violent than stabbing. Perhaps it's the force required to effectively club someone to death, it's more brutal, more primal, than a knife attack. It's one of the many reasons I find Condemned suc...
