Hi all,
I'm writing an article about Silent Hill 1 and I have a question to which I can't seem to find an answer: If SH was originally developed by the Japanese Team Silent, why was the game released FIRST in North America and only subsequently (two months later) in Japan?
Thanks! Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
W

Re: Need help with article on Silent Hill
It could have something to do with the fact that the game itself was always intended for western audiences. But I'm sure that there's an actual reason that someone far more knowledgeable than myself can provide.
Too cold to start a fire
I'm burning diesel, burning dinosaur bones
I'll take the river down to still water
And ride a pack of dogs

What ^ said.
But that IS interesting!
An article, you say? Do you mean like a school project or something? Or a fan thing?
If it's a fan thing, you should stick around.
Either way, I wish you luck stranger.

Re: Need help with article on Silent Hill
It's actually an academic journal article about the music/sound design of SH, and the Japanese vs. American aesthetic is quite an interesting issue!
Any other comments would be great. thanks so far, though!
