PT makes me want to grab Tomm Hulett and Christophe Gans by the scruff of their necks and rub their stupid faces In it.
Is that a positive comment?

Re: P.T. Concept Movie
Silent hill fans are anal retentive for sure......... Well they've taken a lot of abuse since the ps2 era ended.... :'( They just don't want to open their hearts to this new game only to have them ripped out again. But damn, it's looking sexy, and for once has a lotta money... (Gets in the car). Wh...

Re: P.T. Concept Movie
Toys may be a horror cliche, but what we see in this teaser isn't what you'd expect from cliche horror. I didn't see one crazy clown or porcelain doll missing an eye, nor did I hear a detuned toy piano or creepy children's choir. The colored lights were something I haven't seen either. I think they ...

Re: TGS news/info
I think episodic could be a great thing. PT worked well as an "episode zero", and it might be cool to have a new part of the story every so often for people to mull over without beating the whole game in a weekend. A new format like this might give the artists a little more freedom to try ...

Re: P.T. Concept Movie
I have slightly mixed feelings on this, but I think it comes from trying to show a wide variety of surreal imagery in a very short time. I don't want the game to have this much crap crammed into every hallway but I really appreciate the imagination that went into this. The difference between pt and ...

Re: Cons! What the teaser could have done better! ಠ益à²
I agree with you in the sense that the common thread in the games is that people's darkness leaves darkness behind; the world is supernaturally/psychologically tainted by something happening in the past. A la the Shining. You could make a game that lifts the story of the Shining and call it Silent H...

Re: Cons! What the teaser could have done better! ಠ益à²
ss But isn't this one of the main reasons the new games aren't up to par? These people didn't bother to understand the story, and just copied (badly) SH2. So let me just ask you, how many great stories you can think of when you reduce the game to "someone did something bad and he goes to SH to...

Re: Lessons from the last few years
I agree about lack of detail from Homecoming and Downpour, and the weird 'olde time' aspects of the games and just plain weird aesthetic design. I remember when I saw a screenshot for Homecoming, and I saw those fences outside the police station , I just though "oh god why", its like they...

Re: Cons! What the teaser could have done better! ಠ益à²
There are some over the top moments sound-wise that could be a little more subtle. The peephole, the laughing when you solve the hello puzzle, even the baby crying. I would also hope the scares are a little more spread out in the real game, as it starts to feel like a haunted house ride. I want to h...

Re: Kojima: "Silent Hill S could be open world"
I would love to be able to just explore silent hill freely, but it would need to be done very carefully. I think I would go just a bit more open than sh2 while still stopping you from spoiling the surprises. The problem I have with open sandbox games is I can't resist free roaming and experimenting ...

No idea how I solved it, but I got the second baby laugh while I left it on pause. Go figure

Re: Pros! What the teaser has done right! ಥ⌣ಥ
Those SH4 ghosts were frustrating as all hell, but damn they were horrifying. (Edit: actually that sums up the first four games pretty well) That's a good thought. Imagine how scary sh2 would be if I'm the blue creek apartment rooms, you would still hear the things walking in the hallway through the...

Re: Pros! What the teaser has done right! ಥ⌣ಥ
I wouldn't count on that. You are Norman Reedus in this game, which is very much like a silent hill game, and it flows right into the streets of Silent Hill for the "teaser" ending. There is no breaking point between PT and Silent Hills. It says "this game is a teaser. It has no direc...

Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
Ito must be getting a barrage of twitter questions like Akira is. Perhaps the fact he hasn't said anything is also good news?
Edit: that said I can't read Japanese. Maybe he has said something?

Re: Lessons from the last few years
Photorealism is a big thing for me. I always associated Silent Hill with the most realistic graphics you could squeeze out of the ps2. Sure the textures were hand painted, but in the most realistic way. The ps3 era games bafflingly decided to go cartoon-style, perhaps to make it easier on themselves...

Re: Cons! What the teaser could have done better! ಠ益à²
I hope not. Personally I don't care at all about silent hill 'canon', Silent 2 and 4 don't mention alessa or the cult and I think they're better for it. I feel like the town is a subjective thing that is different for every person who experiences it. 1 and 3 are great but I think they get bogged dow...

Re: Pros! What the teaser has done right! ಥ⌣ಥ
It makes Silent Hill relevant to the general audience again. It has an incredible atmosphere. Dream team which means a real AAA game. Stunning graphics. The story seems really promising. My post of the day; well said. Agreed, that's one of the best things about this. People are talking about Silent...

Re: Cons! What the teaser could have done better! ಠ益à²
My very few cons would be: 1. Repeated scares. At times it starts to feel like a haunted house at a fair with animatronics and sound clips set up to scare you. My favorite scares in the game are the ones that only happen once, like bathroom girl or balcony lady. Perhaps the haunting a could be space...
