Re: HExadrive pitched remaking SH2 before Bloober

Hexadrive has a new horror title releasing at the end of next year for PC. It's doubtful we'll hear of any other Konami projects until after, if any.

Re: Simplified Story?

The trailers may only show bits and pieces, but the presented dialog is recognizably shorter and quicker to the point. Potentially confusing dialog such as Laura retorting if James is "blind or something" seems to have been removed. Instead James simply asks about the letter she's holding...

Re: New Release Date Trailer - Oct 8th 2024 + Gameplay trailer

Nothing has been officially said, and most games on PS5 have performance options of 60fps/1080p, or 30fps/4K or upscaled 4K. But if they aren't touting 60 fps performance, then it is likely that the only two options are a locked 30fps at either 1080p native or upscaled 4K. There may be further perfo...

Re: Would you prefer SH1 or SH3 next?

Well, from another perspective, opium was consumed by many artists back in the day who then turned out many classic pieces of phantasmagoric and horror nightmare art. But I don't know if the topic is directly a fit for the franchise story-wise where the MC is a user. The idea being that the world ar...

Re: The Short Message had 7 OG members of Team Silent?

Astsushi Tsujimoto's work on SH4 is the best I've ever seen from the series. The Room's trailers and Attract mode are legendary even to this day.

Don't have a PS5 yet, and I'm avoiding spoilers, but The Short Message will be the first thing I'll download and play.

Re: Would you prefer SH1 or SH3 next?

Cybil is useful as a support character for Harry to relate himself to and the fact that he is not crazy. They both help to confirm each others sanity. The town is strange and the monsters do exist. That Cybil gives Harry a gun is definitely not something in the police handbook, but the situation the...

Re: First teaser trailer

Sometimes it's interesting to inject your ideas or experiences using another story's structure as a vehicle. This of course could mean a less faithful adaptation, but sometimes it also makes something more interesting. It all depends... New ideas that are naturally drawn logically from or fit the so...

Re: Would you prefer SH1 or SH3 next?

Thanks! I'd always had this thought, that typically a game's difficulty increases with newer and more difficult enemies, alongside character progression where the player gradually get more powerful or has a bigger arsenal. But what if you broke convention, and narratively the player grew less powerf...

Sony doesn't have any other exclusive offerings for the fall other than SH2 and Astrobot, then their marketing deal for Call of Duty. Re Fantazio is another big game that'll do well for them, but Xbox has an exclusive marketing deal for it. So of the two, SH2 is their big 3rd party Exclusive, and th...

It's not that unusual for companies to announce several projects all at once to generate maximum hype, then only focus on things closer to release afterwards. I'd have thought Konami might've also had more to say about what they already had out. Ascension came and went without further comment, which...

Re: Would you prefer SH1 or SH3 next?

I understand your intention, but I feel like that would (and in my opinion should) be met with the same reaction to Homecoming's underdetailed environments. Instead of making it feel dreamlike, it instead makes it feel unengaging and empty. The more realistic the graphics are, the more believable t...

She looks a little younger than SH1 Angela. I see 19 year old girls that look like game Angela all the time, a lot of times people don't loose their baby face until their mid 20s or older. I didn't loose mine till about 26. Heh, yeah, that's why they call it 'baby face' as the roundness is associat...

Re: Would you prefer SH1 or SH3 next?

I like the enthusiasm, but bringing up "demake" and retro and then talking about "realistic graphics" seems to hurt the point you're trying to make. :) The camera mode is an interesting area for discussion. That one developer from Bloober Team talked about the challenge in suppo...

Re: New Release Date Trailer - Oct 8th 2024 + Gameplay trailer

If you also take her body and height into account, sure, but to me her face alone feels like a much younger girl who is still to grow and push out her chubbiness. Certainly there are older women who look younger, but she's definitely younger looking in comparison to the original Angela, both her CG ...

Gives off enough of a child-like impression to me.

My point is, in contrast to original Angela, Remake Angela looks significantly younger.

Re: New Release Date Trailer - Oct 8th 2024 + Gameplay trailer

I think for me, it's the rounder face that makes her look more child-like, or I'm just associating that with some chubbier young girls I used to know. But this is also a 15-16 year old girl according to the stock photo description. [IMAGE REMOVED] And this is a 10-year old... so there are all kinds....

Re: Would you prefer SH1 or SH3 next?

As impressive as many fangames can be based on their limited resources, I am yet to come across one that actually feels like a "real game". There's always something that looks, sounds, or plays strangely - Regardless of which franchise it is based on. There's no denying however that the e...

Re: New Release Date Trailer - Oct 8th 2024 + Gameplay trailer

I'd been thinking about Angela's new model again, and I think I can finally sum up why I'm not feeling it. It's that the model looks young, whereas the original Angela looks older. Angela's age is 19. Original Angela, actually looks much older. Almost late 20's. So you get the feeling of someone you...

Re: Should they use Pyramid Head as a stalker type more.

The thing is, the more you encounter him, the more familiar with him and his patterns he becomes, much like the other monsters, so the ideal way to make him intimidating is to have few but memorable and increasingly deadly encounters with changed patterns. Of course, that doesn't exclude that the Re...
