Silent Hill fans

[Avril]

I've replayed Silent Hill 2 and I think it's the darkest in the series. It perfectly sums up depression. I've also played Silent Hill 4, Homecoming, Downpour, and Origins. Are any of you fans too?

 

[nerve]

Silent Hill 2 is on my "favorite games ever" shortlist. It really does have this deep aura of depression and dread and loss. It's nice to see your reality reflected in a piece of media, bleak as it may be. That staircase scene always hits me somewhere deep.




The lines are acted so sarcastically and bitterly lol. Poor girl spends the whole game being pro-life'd by James and when she finally makes a good point about how hollow his sentiments are, he just stands there like "uhh damn..."

I haven't played most of the games past 4, but Shattered Memories is a great little spin-off. Very unique, for better and worse. Pretty horny too! The game can outright call you a pervert a few times. It's not that long and worth the time investment imo

I love the franchise. SH 2 is probably my favorite, I also liked Downpour regardless of what the hardcore fans think about it.
I also really liked the 2006 movie, I thought the alleyway shot when we first encounter the monsters was a superb nod to the games. The 2nd film wasn't so good though.

I'm very hopeful Konami will eventually put out a remake on par with the Resident Evil Remakes. This is one of the few things I consider worth sticking around to experience first.

I've beaten and thoroughly enjoyed them all. I think 4, 2, and Origins are my favorites.

Downpour wasn't necessarily terrible in terms of story and everything. It was different sure but that's not a bad thing. It did however run like utter dog shit on my Xbox 360. Huge frame rate drops, glitchy, and clunky controls.

Agree the performance wasn't the smoothest on my old 360 either.

I loved the way the story started off, from the crash, to the forest trek, to the mines, then eventually into the town. All of this was very different to previous titles and a unique spin to the series. It had some clever psychological game design here and there too, like the endless stairs that require you to just turn around LOL.

But all in all I just want Konami to put out high budget remakes of 1, 2 + 3 like Capcom did with RE. They'll gross so much money from the loyal fanbase. But I wouldn't complain if they finished off P.T either. The Junjo Ito & Del Toro collabs were so promising.

PT is toast for sure, which is sad because it had so much potential. Word is that Konami is working on a new MGS and SH title. They've confirmed that both series will continue without Kojima. My expectations are realistically low but who knows, maybe they'll surprise us.

Well there were a lot of rumours that Kojima was back holding meetings with Konami again, this time with the intention of finishing off P.T and working on a MGS Remake. Kojima also tweeted out some cryptic tweets not that long ago of him holding up a pencil with Pyramid written on the side of it etc...

Then theres also a lot of whispers about the SH remakes to the extent that Konami even hired the original music composer for a top secret project that would "revive a well loved classic" so who knows.

Perhaps we are finally going to get a pachinko silent hill game.

I never played any of the Silent Hill games, but I really liked the story of Silent Hill Homecoming when I watched a play though of the game.

Absolutely. The atmosphere and general vibes of the series are perfectly melancholic

 

[Zzzzz]

I haven't played the games much but I like the soundtrack.

Try watching the first 4, their stories are vastly superior.

Mind if I join in on the Pyramid Head shitposting?

Tremble before the fashionable visage of Pretty Pastel Pyramid Head. . .

I only played the PSP game and I wanted to play Silent Hill using a PS simulator on the computer but it was just really buggy so I stopped.

You could try using Retroarch with Beetle PSX.

Thank you, I will give this a try.

Archive.org recently added a ton of PS classic games available to play through their online emulator.
Silent Hill being one of them, doesn't run too bad from what I recall.

I played Silent Hill 3 with a girl from here once. One of the best memories in my life.

 

[Snake of Eden]

Silent Hill 2 is the best psychological horror game there is. 1 and 3 are great games too. Soundtracks is one of the best soundtracks ever. Really precious series

 

[neitherherenorthere]

Poor girl spends the whole game being pro-life'd by James and when she finally makes a good point about how hollow his sentiments are, he just stands there like "uhh damn..."

Lol not to mention the canon ending is "In Water" according to word of god. Maybe Angela made James see the light.

 

[Sleepdrifter]

The original copies are worth a lot now if you have one
