Eh, I tend to prefer new ideas over sequels. I'd rather let Silent Hill die in peace, and let the creatives minds that could potentially work on the next one come up with something different. There's only so long you can release sequels before you just start milking fans.

I think you should play through again and take a real close look this time... you can't see any facial features, or any real detail... just the basic outline face and body and the colors. I thought the graphics were quite clear, whenever you saw a mirror in the other SH games, (I can only think of ...

If you look in the mirrors in Alex's home you'll notice that there's no furniture or anything in the room. It is bare with the exception of Alex.

To tell you the truth, Alex didn't seem all that blurry to me, not compared to the graphics in general.

I did get a chill down my spine when I saw that the reflections of all the rooms in Alex's home were empty.

I had to go with the RE movies. The first two were fun zombie flicks - stupid, yes, but fun. The SH movie is just...stupid. Beautiful, but still much less fun, and certainly not a better film.
...Now, the third RE movie I walked out on, and got my money back. That one was horrid.

That's great to know. I feel kinda lame for not knowing her real name though. On another note, good to see someone else from Nova Scotia on the boards Drewfus. This makes three. I'm glad to hear she's doing the vocals for the game, her voice works well for Silent Hill. Though, of course, I'd never ...

Who else would it be? I always figured it was a just a picture of the "perfect family" ripped in two, since it looks like something off'a 90's board game. Smiling blonde mum with blonde daughter, handsome brunette father with his son...I mean, it is hard to tell, but the daughter doesn't ...

Considering how watered down the plot was, I find it very hard to believe he didn't intend to condescend to his audience. I'm not looking forward to a SH2 movie mainly because I just can't see him keeping the subtleties of the game at all. Everything in SH was just bulldozed to become easier to unde...

To tell you the truth, I always figured that apathy was his way of dealing with the situation he was put in. It also makes me wonder if he dealt with other things that way, considering how few ties to life outside of room 302 he seems to have. Either way, I did like his character, even if it wasn't ...

Re: Worth it?

As for your lack of empathy towards Henry... well, that's your problem, not the game's. I realize it's open to people's opinions, but it is also relies on how the game portrays the characters, as well. If the character is written poorly and the voice acting is bad, there's not much to like about th...

I actually did give it a chance, started playing it and all....but it just seemed confusing and annoying. Those long-tongued dogs pissed me off. Plus, I didn't remember Henry talking (it's good that he does!), and the thought of running back and forth with the item boxes isn't pleasant. I also don'...

Re: Worth it?

I'm a fan of the series, don't get me wrong.....but SH4 just turned me off. The major gameplay changes (no flashlight/radio, a storage box, limited carrying capacity, etc), not being in Silent Hill, and the lack of interesting characters (the main one doesn't talk?) just made it a bad experience fo...

Re: Abstract Daddy - fact or fiction?

The general belief is that Abstract Daddy depicts Thomas Orosco molesting his daughter. I shared the same belief until recently, when I've decided to go back to Angela's story using the other official script. Granted, the general belief does make Angela's story a tad more horrific, but I came to wo...

If I remember correctly, if you beat the game on easy, the bullet adjust is avail, you can make it 2X, and gets higher after each new difficulty. Huh, I'd always thought you got one more x1 bullet adjust each time you beat the game. And I'm positive that at the very least you don't need to beat har...

Re: A couple of questions... SPOILERS.

1. How is it possible that James is still in the Abyss when he's in the hotel, when Laura is there too? As far as I can tell, in Silent Hill 2 there is a recurring theme of people who have killed other people. All of the people who go into the Abyss have killed someone. I really don't think Laura k...

Yes, even if you're going by the games, it's never stated that the town the main characters see is the reality of the place. In fact, I would take James' testimony of visiting SH three years ago as evidence that most people only see the normal Silent Hill, rather than a twisted representation of som...

Heather was the only protagonist in the entire series that ever showed visible distress over the things she saw.
