Silent Hill Heaven

As progressive as Japan is in many ways, there's also a whole slew of unexpected backwardness in the country. I never lived there (though visited 3 times), but have enough friends and family members who have, and can partially back up my claims here. Japanese work environment, especially the corpora...

Thanks Seal! I've checked out a few episodes of both lordvega and gamerkat09–they indeed seem to be better than the rest I've seen so far. I guess SH2 is the kind of game you really need to pay attention to the details, that's why so many people fail to engage in the story.

Hi guys, I'm searching for a good Let's Play of SH2 on YouTube or any other platforms. I've been looking around, but most of the let's play I've skimped over broke down into two types I'm not looking for: 1) Played by someone who has already completed the game; or 2) Played by someone new to the gam...

Atmosphere and sound design are good. Graphics is very impressive, though the art direction seems to deviate from previous titles. The narrative is very Silent Hill-esque, though somewhat of a rehash. Very stoked overall. I've played only MSG2, but that game alone made me belief that Hideo Kojima's ...

The jump scares were cheap, devoid of mystical or emotional values I expect of a franchise such as Silent Hill. Never watch The Walking Dead. While I do feel Norman Reedus' character and face suit survival horror genre well, having to associate a real life person with Silent Hill is a turn off for m...

Nice find Ryan. I just recently watched The Shining again but since I forgot what Lakeview Hotel looked like so I didn't make any connection. The maze in The Shining could also have inspired the maze in Silent Hill 2. The way Nicholson's character drags his leg around can be compared with Pyramid He...

SH3 is definitely best looking, even comparing to newer titles. The design of certain areas are so visceral that I had to put my controllers down due to the induced nausea, especially the alternate hospital. The amusement park is also my personal favorite place. I thought the dream sequence in the b...

I generally find still graphics underwhelming. However, once you get to play the actual game, the motion and added effects will make thing look smooth.

Oblivion?
While I agree that there's a lot of efforts put into that game, especially on the lore, but the main storyline did not wow me. Actually, I have already forgotten what it's about.

Someone mentioned in the past that the wheelchairs were presences of Alessa's power in Walter's world. Personally I didn't buy that, but I couldn't come up with other explanation myself.

It says "Database Error" for me. Perhaps something wrong with the site?

This was discussed, though not to a certain extent, before in this following thread:

You can check what people had said before. I'll leave this thread open because there wasn't much discussions in the old thread.

Personally I loved it even if it was short. Born From a Wish illustrates, hints, adds subtlety to James' arc and Silent Hill series as a whole. It propelled much theories and gave depth to the game. edit: found the old thread http://silenthillforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=15860 Please redirect to the pr...

Thanks saevitia, that was a good read.
I've added this thread to the Quicklinks.

Even if the scene involving Pyramid Head and mannequins is supposedly sexually explicit, I'd still feel that it would not degenerate into shock scene as you wrote, Alone. Explicit scenes can still contain underlying messages and other subtleties. Can you elaborate more on what you wrote as "the...

I've edited the title of this thread it contains big spoiler for people who haven't played SH3.

Coraline has 3D version? Didn't know this.
I'm looking forward to Revelations. I have no problem with 3D as long as they don't sacrifice the time for polishing script, mis-en-scene,and other aspects to the 3D production.

sorata, thank you for providing the link of JB's article as well as Burning Man's.
I've edited them into the first post.

Also SH2 Quicklinks have been updated. You can find the thread Article: "The Life and Games of Jeremy Blaustein" in it now.

I really appreciate this Fungo. Damn impressive, blew me away.
I'd agree with Alone and that (if you plan to re-edit and re-release) James running near beginning ruined the cinematic mood, and you should have him walking normally instead.
Aside that, everything seems spotless!

Please refrain from deviating the topic. This topic is for discussing the movie's ending.
