Silent Hill Heaven

Dead last? Now hold on. I don't think it's fair to call this one worse than Origins.

So all of the symbolism that's been pointed out from the previous games is simply coincidence? If I were the Japanese developers, I'd be pretty offended. Then go ahead and be offended. I sincerely believe a lot of the percieved symbolism is just that, - perceived symbolism. As human beings we alway...

Can't really make out anything beyond what you've done.

Well, It looks like the first word on the second line is "T.N.T.". but that doesn't make any sense.

I think breakable weapons in the way Downpour does it looks fun, personally. Just trying to get whatever I can to smash the monsters, running around for the broken pieces, etc etc etc seems exciting, if the enemies are enough of a threat.

I wonder how much ammo he can carry?

Pop-in is tolerable in games that don't require total immersion to manipulate you. Silent hill needs to totally immerse me to have any effect whatsoever. :/ Also! On the fog. I love the idea of not being able to see far ahead while you're exploring. It helps me focus on the small details, keeps thin...

Of course he's not normal. But should it be so obvious? A horror game with no mystery isn't scary or fun. It's just another story. And really, I just found his voice acting to be cringe-worthy. I'm sure I'll deal with it fine when the game's out. I just had higher expectations after hearing people s...

I just watched some more of the gameplay videos of the demo of Downpour (Yeah, just now... I'm stuck with dial-up at home) And, uh. Disappointed. The voice acting, especially Howard's, felt too unrealistic. I hated it.There was a lot of pop-in, which isn't surprising for an Unreal game, but feels ch...

Yeah, that's really impressive. We'd love to see more.

Homecoming was exactly the same in regards to just coming down to timing. You waited for your opening and took your shots. The problem, I believe, that most people have is in regards to how the game focused heavily upon having you clear areas out. Older SH games did this as well, but it wasn't nece...

Well geez, now I'm inspired to write a novella about how it's my favorite, as well. The graphics and atmosphere are top-notch to me. Lots and lots of interesting little details, all throughout the game, that I love. Quite a few references and nods to past games, too, which is cool. And of course it ...

Pirate's a weird name, even if it's just to be different. It's not even a pretty word!

I don't think the theme by Korn's a bad idea though, especially since it's mostly for promotional reasons. As long it's not gonna be in the actual game.

Nobody said it would be premature if it released October, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be giving us any dates unless the game was pretty much ready for release. The most that could change would be some tweaking here and there. I'm personally excited, after reading that interview, my faith is way up.

Hold on, I need to change my pants. <3

Well of course, I played the xbox version with you.

Actually, I loved the combat engine. It's focus on skill and speed kept me on edge, and even though the game threw a lot of fights at you, they never really got redundant. It's especially fun if you're nervous and low on supplies and are afraid of messing up. Edit: What I didn't like: I absolutely h...

^Just because he's in SIlent Hill doesn't mean that any flashbacks he sees have to be in the same location. Vietnam vets don't only get flashbacks when they're in Vietnam. True, but Murphy's clearly looking in through the door, and seeing the boy play with his car in the same location . It's not li...

^ Actually a very good point. And the fact that the whole game pretty muich never happened justifies anything, really.

I have a hard time believing that press X button to ___ really takes people out of the game. Very rarely does anything take me out of a game. It has to be something coming outside of the TV to draw me away. for me, I learned to ignore everything else. Might just be me. Nah, once anybody gets used t...

Well, I certainly see no connection between SH4 and SH2. All I'm saying is that the events of SH2, SH4, and SH5 could happen and have no impact whatsoever on the actual canon story of SH1 and SH3. They're more or less just filler content, -an excuse to make a game. Even if the games are damned good....

I'm less concerned about the meaning or story behind the element, and moreso with how it's used to scare you. I mean the ice was used horribly in Shattered Memories, didn't touch on what would be scary about ice at all. I sure hope Downpour doesn't just slap water on everything and run with it. Ther...
