Silent Hill Heaven

I loved the fact that the first game gave you the option to view the entire game from a sort-of first person perspective, and when I play the game, I basically have that shoulder button pressed from start to finish. The game is far scarier when you can only see what's in front of you, when you see ...

How would people feel about this - it's always set to 3rd person when you're out in the streets, then always switches to 1st person when you go inside buildings? I'd be happy whichever way they choose to do it, so long as they give us the choice during first play-through to customise. Perhaps with t...

Del Toro's cancelled InSANE project was supposedly Lovecaftian - and I suppose I'd hardly be the first to suggest that Silent Hills is InSANE in a new guise - the story and mythos for InSANE might have been retrofitted to make sense to the Silent Hill universe, perhaps?

Hi there, I have a question about a Downpour video review but I didn't know where to post it - so I am sorry if this is the incorrect thread or if I missed an obvious one, but I didn't want to start a new thread for my question. I'm trying to track down a video review a player did for Downpour quite...

Do I have faith? To be honest, while it has waned considerably in the last 6 months as gameplay vids like this have emerged. However I am still happy that Silent Hill games are thought enough of by Konami and fans alike that games continue being made. It means there's still a chance that someday the...

Has everyone been keeping up with this? The author, Chaobell(?) has been adding new pages until about 18 months ago. I hope this doesn't mean it's over. If he/she is reading this, please continue! I am enjoying it more than any of the other SH comics (Past Life aside) as it more accurately captures ...

^You guys know you can adjust the brightness yourselves right? Gamma slider, tv brightness settings? Just saying. I agree (I've done this in other games), but then the downside to that would be in having to re-brighten everything while navigating the menus or reading the map. I hope they do include...

That mine could be 1000 scarier very easily, all they need to do is turn the lights off and make it as oppressively pitch dark as any hole in the ground typically is. Make it so that only a few feet ahead of you are sufficiently lit by your torch and add a load of suspended dust cloud filters (to fu...

Now that Downpour seems to have been postponed until 2012, do you reckon they're going to listen to fan feedback for the case art and alter it? Or do you think all the slips have been printed by now and the currently disc-less jewel cases are sitting in various national storage depots until the actu...

Maybe if we get a chance to look at it in a higher resolution it will be easier to see if the blue background is indeed streaks of rain. The Bacon influence is obvious, but I can't help but dislike the relative overtness of the screaming mouth in comparison to the blurry murk of the rest of the imag...

It's insulting as a fan that this was even allowed or thought to be a good idea. To me, it's just ignorant. I have a feeling that Tom, Bryan and the others at Vatra themselves weren't ignorant of the riskiness and unsuitability of commissioning Korn, but were over-ruled by the men in suits. I can't...

If it is delayed until 2012, this can only be a good thing. I don't know why they have delayed release, but whatever the reason, hopefully this will give Vatra a chance to really iron out any game-play creases, remove bugs and glitches and perhaps even give it a more competitive graphical polish to ...

Hmmmmm I wonder: If, like any sane person they HAVE now scrapped monocle-stretched-skin-face, that the 3D model and voice doesn't go to waste and be used in an additional joke ending? I always thought it would be good to have more than just one joke ending per game, and using this would be a good sh...

Can't say I expected anything hugely different to this. Even so, I'm still massively disappointed at the developers for not fighting hard enough against the sort of interference from the higher-uppers at Konami that results in decisions like this being made. Aside from the (mostly) fan-insulting Kor...

That's better than the PAL and NTSC combined!

Maybe if eventually they release a special edition steel case in Europe and America using this design....

Is anyone else at all concerned about Murphy's shouting and his comments? I mean, that was something they took OUT of homecoming. I'm thinking it could be good in very rare cases like boss encounters, or even the context specific events like puzzles after 10 minutes of not making any progress...(lik...

The lighting of the mines troubles me. You'd think that a hole in the ground should be pitch black, shouldn't you? I've been in a historical mine in real life and even WITH the older, dimmer copper wire lighting running along the ceilings it's still pretty murky. Why does this look like it's being l...

It would be cool if somebody kind with access to the image files of the PC version could possibly post them. Then lots more people could have their say about what the text is and it would be a lot easier to identify the people in the photographs.

so, anyone....?

The new box art looks fucking cool!

It's exactly what I was hoping they'd do for the PAL release. I'd had nightmares of the NTSC Ice encrusted Cheryl boxart and the NTSC Ico cover art chasing after me through dark streets trying to rape my soul.

Last Boss? Hmmm... You'll fight a relatively strong creature in some Icy Otherworld. Maybe some giant Raw Shock/Cheryl hybrid or something. You'll be lulled into thinking 'FUCK this is epic and hard. This is the final boss. It must be'. Then, after that creature's defeat and you settle back in your ...
