I would have liked to see Climax make another Silent Hill, but I'm willing to give this new developer the benefit of the doubt. Can't wait to see more.

The music won't be the same, though.

Silent Hill 3 is the best looking game on the PS2, hands down. Hell, it even looks better than some current gen games.

The ending hit me pretty hard too. I didn't bawl my eyes out (the only game that has gotten me to do that is Mother 3) but I definitely got teary eyed. It was also blowing my mind, especially when Harry walks into Dr. K's office. It's an ending that really sinks in and just really pulled at your hea...

Mine was pretty spot on too. I got some similar things, that I was a very friendly person that cares about the feelings of others but I tend to be kind of private at times. I live a clean life, staying away from things like drugs and alcohol, and that was a dependable person. Looking back I'm pretty...

I just wanted to say that the psychology thing has a lot more going for it than just "sex and booze". The choices you make and way you do things can change just about everything, like conversations and how cutscenes play out. It does more than some of you are giving it credit for. Besides,...

I gave up on this game way back when (I got to the second visit to the Subway and lost interest) but I decided to go ahead and give it another chance and, I gotta say, I'm enjoying it a lot more than I remember. There are a lot of things about it that annoy me and it's still my least favorite of the...

Okay, I read through this whole thread and I thought I might as well give my two cents. Just remember, this is my opinion. I'm not trying to pass it off as fact. I believe that Angela was sexually abused as well as physically abused. Just because it's not flat out written in black and white in the n...

Regardless of who Douglas is talking about, I think it's pretty much accepted that James did go missing ("In Water") especially when you consider the comment Henry makes in SH4 when you view the photo he got from Frank Sunderland.

Is it just me or at the "echoes" you find in Shattered Memories a lot like the "echoes of the past" that Travis comes across throughout Origins?

This is depressing. But not all that surprising, which is even more depressing. I mean, Knami hardly even tried to sell the game. Shipping out two copies? Really? Hopefully sales in other regions combined with the PS2 and PSP sales can bring it up. That said, if the series were to end with Shattered...

I hardly killed anything with the melee weapons. For the most part I let Travis' fists do the talking. And I'm not sure why so many people hate the gameplay, I loved punching the shit out of monsters. By the end of the game I had such a huge stock of melee weapons I just started unloading them all o...

Yeah, this is one of the best UFO endings to come out of the series yet. Everything about it is hilarious, especially James and Dr. K's "haven't seen his wife in a while..." comment. Love this ending. I'd rank the UFO endings as SH3/SHSM > SH:0 > SH1/SH2 >>>>>> SHH. Too bad SH4 didn't have...

I don't think "scaring" people is really what Shattered Memories was going for, but more to disturb, creep out, and get inside the player's head. Which I think I did a very good job with. That said, the chase sequences were pretty intense. Oh, and calling the number in the Art Room and hea...

My order went Celestine -> The King -> Wilhelm -> The Bull. As Dr. K put it, "Poor Celestine. She didn't have to run." Let alone run into a field with an ill-tempered bull. If she were a little more careful and handled the situation differently, she'd still be alive. The King is at fault b...

The UFO ending of Homecoming was definitely the weakest UFO ending in the series. Really, it could have been a lot better. Not to mention the fact that it's possible to get it in your first go is ridiculous.

It's not perfect but there are far worse movies out there. And it's easily the best video game movie adaptation yet. I enjoyed it, even if the writing was a little bland and the end had that whole five minute speech explaining the plot up until that point. Not perfect, but definitely a step in the r...

I love 4PlayerPodcast, especially the videos with Brad. The SH4 one in the prison sums up all my frustration with that area.
