Silent Hill Heaven

Yeah, I know. I just don't think the 4th wall breaks are actual 4th wall breaks, except for the toilet scene which is an Easter egg and not part of the main game. The problem with video games in general is that due to their interactive nature, they almost always involve breaking the fourth wall by r...

I'd wait until we get to play this remake first before entrusting them with more Silent Hill projects, especially something like the first Silent Hill which has a much more complicated story with multiple layers of intricate lore. I could see Bloober Team remaking Silent Hill 3, though, which has a ...

Interestingly, Downpour seems to have a very large separate fanbase, something which Homecoming hasn't. I know this because I'm getting so much hate on my YouTube video where people harass me for giving Downpour a low rating.

There are plenty of scenes throughout the series where characters talk to themselves when nobody else is around, but that's pretty typical for most video games and doesn't really mean they're actually breaking the fourth wall. In Eddie's case, his crazy monologue near the end just sounds like he's t...

The scene where Heather breaks the fourth wall was originally only achievable if you had a save slot of SH2 saved on your console, so I’m not sure if it’s technically ”canon” in that sense. I took it as a joke scene made to please fans, not part of the actual game. I mean if every joke scene in the ...

I was never expecting any bigger stars considering the smaller budgets that studios work around nowadays for these kind of projects. With no chances of recouping budgets with DVD and Bluray sales, a movie that got a 50 million budget 20 years ago will now get less than 10 million. It’s just the way ...

It's kind of expected though; like he said there are different standards for video games in this modern age, and both sound and music are arranged and implemented in new ways to reference certain cues and melodies in various scenes and situations - Long story short, the atmosphere has become much mo...

Lake Seabago in Maine is pretty close to Portland, and it has quite a few beaches even though it's an in-land lake.

Has CRTV's ever been popular among the public, though? I think they're more associated with the police force, and I the teaser trailer makes it clear that this CRTV in particular belongs to someone making an investigation. I'm leaning more and more towards 1998, but we'll see. I remember still using...

"Betrayal" is my favorite song in the entire game, and I'm very excited to hear what Akira's cooking up for its remake version. The tragic melody combined with the industrial, metallic sounds goes incredibly well with the dialogue in the scene where it's playing. I hope very little is chan...

Mary's figurative death is taking place inside James' mind, but that list from Lost Memories: Silent Hill Chronicle is taking into account all of the characters' ages. For your theory to work, the list has to be based on James' perspective but James doesn't know or need to know the ages of Angela an...

^Interesting spin on the story, but most of these Silent Hill-related projects seem to have been in development since before Konami's revised financial forecast. However, that's not to say that this downturn in operating profit won't further motivate them to really deliver on the revivial of Silent ...

^Exactly why they might want to make it more accessible. If the casual gamer is just going to play it 1 time, developers nowadays would want to make sure that players get the best possible one-time experience; that includes streamlining the story so that big events are not easily missed. I could thi...

There of course remains the question if a remake of Silent Hill should or should not be more streamlined in order to appeal to today's masses. So for example, you could make entering Annie's Bar obligatory by shutting off certain roads, but still put a time limit on saving Kauffmann. That way the go...

^Silent Hill doesn't have fewer levels than Silent Hill 2, though: 1 Midwich Elementary School Alchemilla Hospital Sewers Lakeside Amusement Park Nowhere 2 Wood Side Apartments Brookhaven Hospital Prison/Labyrinth Lakeview Hotel And that's not counting smaller areas in both games, such as the lighth...

How could you even suggest for it to be made cheaply as a budget title? Kind of disgraceful to its legacy. For sure, Silent Hill is dated, but so is Silent Hill 2 if you compare it to modern technology. Okamoto even said so himself in that recent interview with IGN, where he acknowledged that Bloobe...

>If SH2 Remake does well, Konami will certainly be interested in having Bloober or anyone else remake 1 & 3 and 4. Oh, they most certainly will, but I could see them skipping 1 entirely, to be honest. I mean I love the first game, it's by far my favorite in the series, but it certainly stands ou...

^Because of these two quotes from Ito and Okamoto: "“There is the issue of everything being a step brighter spoiling the fear of darkness, an issue that's come up often not just for this remake but since the time of the PS4 in general." "“The fear players projected onto the dark scree...

>Why would James' age being raised slightly put this in an alternate timeline? Perhaps this is somewhat of a false cause fallacy, but Ito specifically says " this is our way of emphasizing that this is a remake ". The way they talk about his changed appearance and increased suffering, and ...

Some new and interesting things were said: - The fact that James' age has been intentionally raised seems to confirm that this remake will take place in an alternate timeline separate from the original series. I think this is great. - Their urge to showcase the remake's highly detailed 4K environmen...
