I never said there were going to PDAs in the 1980s and I NEVER said the remake is set in 1980s. I was fully aware that it was
a) set to happen currently
b) set in a alternative universe

I was just over-reacting cause I was a little disappointed that it was going to be a re-imagining, damn.

Well, I'll be damned.

This game just got 55% better.

THAT, looks really cool. I love how its based on YOU this time, and not the character.
I'm a little disappointed, though. If they wanted to make a parallel universe, fine. But don't 'use' the first game and its characters to do so

OTHERWISE, this game sounds completely awesome. I can't wait

Post by **AlessaChevalier** » 03 Apr 2009

Ok expectations for this game just increase 85% half-way through the 2nd page.

Don't raise your expectations for anything - I find that the best way to avoid disappointment. I'm hardly ever excited about anything anymore, and it works wonders for me.

Post by **DamienPales** » 03 Apr 2009

I don't know.

If Climax delivers on the whole "everything you do will change what you see" approach they say they're going to deliver, the boards will go nuts with everyone's interpretation of what they personally saw.

Plus, the replay value for this game sounds amazingly high.

I'm just happy a Silent Hill game is going to come out. I was getting worried that the series was going to end after Homecoming, since it didn't really sell that well.

Before this I personally wanted the series to end. I mean I like Origins and Homecoming but some things in them gave me doubt that the series had enough to give for a 6th let alone a 7th game. I would have wanted the final game to just end the whole thing, the cult, the existence of the God, and maybe the Otherworld. But thankfully I've been proven wrong reading what Climax has in store for us in the remake. I have some problems with the liberties they take with the story but I never doubted there ability to make a good game, and from the looks of it a great one. And I remember reading they're working on the next next-gen installment for the series.

I usually agree with you, but DAMN, this is actually looking pretty cool. Disappointing that it's an "alternate universe," but at the same time exciting because, well, it looks pretty sweet.

Icy other-world...why? And that is Harry, right?

Post by **AlessaChevalier** » 03 Apr 2009

>Icy?
yes, it'll be fun

>Harry?
yes, just a different version of him.

I think Climax knows what its doing this time around.

Post by **woofy** » 03 Apr 2009

Yes, that is Harry. The icy world will be explained. An icy world is not too hard to imagine, considering it was snowing in the first game

Post by **Video Gamer** » 03 Apr 2009

I think an icy world will be a nice change. After all, a while back there was a thread asking what we wanted to try out, and one of the main ideas was either a rainy or icy otherworld.

Post by **Alessyl** » 03 Apr 2009

I can't hate it if it's got Harry. And now I can understand the icy. Also, Video Gamer, I think the dark (alternate?) SH in the first game was also rainy.

What's wrong with that? It's a re-imagining. The movie did it and no one made (worthwhile) complaints.

The Otherworld is supposed to be different for each player. Icy is only one, probably the default, world. And yes, it's Harry. Atleast Harry, Cybil, and Cheryl are returning in altered roles.

Post by **DamienPales** » 03 Apr 2009

The ice will probably get explained in the game. Maybe it's one of several Otherworld's you can experience based on the questions you answer at the beginning.

I know, but then there will be more than 2 SH universes which is sad. New fans to the series that this game will bring in will miss out on the original story. Also, the movie you can make excuses for: (It's a movie, no big deal). Having two SH universes on one platform (so to speak) just feels... odd.

Nonetheless, I will enjoy playing it!

How is sad? I think it's wonderful. It's not odd or unusual for the survival horror genre. Siren did it, and it's the spiritual successor to Silent Hill.

Do you remember Double Dragon? We had the wonderful games, the movie and the stupid cartoon...

The games were the original timeline, the movie was an alternate version and the cartoons was another alternate version (That misteriously got to become the 5th game in the original timeline... WTF!!)

Ah, we also have that arcade game that had omgaes of the movie in the background... Oh man, I'm really confused now...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

We also can reminf Contra where half of the games are canon and the other half aren't canon... Just let's hope the game have a good performing and give shit to the canon thing... If the icy otherworld will be so annoying like the icy stages in any NES game I will have a lot of fun and swearing time...

Post by **stopped_clock** » 03 Apr 2009

I honestly don't see the problem with multiple timelines, maybe it's because I'm such a comic book fan and Marvel and DC are constantly creating non cannon stories, alternate universes, different versions of the same character etc. And that's just in the comics themselves, spinning off from that you've got games, movies, novels, tv series and animated series all of which have their own continuities rarely having much basis in their comic originals at all.
