Re: What if the game had Playable Endings? - SPOILERS

^It doesn't confirm anything. Just because it doesn't confirm that James is still stuck in Silent Hill, you can't say that it automatically proves that he got out of Silent Hill and "disappeared from this old life". Both are just as likely, although I would argue that the latter is the lea...

Re: 1 million copies sold in 3 days!

The first Silent Hill allegedly sold over 2 million copies according to Takayoshi Sato's resume, but Konami themselves haven't officially confirmed this. However, I think it's safe to assume that the Silent Hill 2 remake will have sold 3 million copies by the end of this year; at that point there wi...

Re: Bloober Team may be working on SILENT HILL & SILENT HILL 3 {RUMOR}

Amen to that. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the story of the first game. When you break it down it's both compelling, mysterious, dark and full of twists and turns. Although modern voice acting would completely destroy the eerie David Lynchian dialogue with its long pauses, I feel it could ...

>The original Dahlia is pretty much an enigma when Harry meets her I don't think so. One of the very first things she says is " You want the girl, right? " in an overtly sneaky way. That's not to say there aren't aspects of her speeches that present her as more enigmatic and possibly sympa...

Re: Would you prefer SH1 or SH3 next?

If anything, the one character whose personality would benefit the most from a change is Dahlia. In the original, from the very moment she pops up on screen she just oozes "obvious villain" energy all over the place. To make things more interesting and surprising for both new and old playe...

Re: Bloober Team may be working on SILENT HILL & SILENT HILL 3 {RUMOR}

I don't want complete reimaginings of either SH1 or SH3 - especially not SH1. I also don't want the stories to me merged into one single game. Although I'm fully aware of SH3's faults as a lackluster drag and for its unoriginality, its faults should not hamper a full remake of SH1. Merging the two g...

Re: What if the game had Playable Endings? - SPOILERS

I don't understand why a playable version of the Leave ending would feature a sunny Silent Hill, because it wasn't sunny in the first place. It has always been foggy, implying that James might still be "stuck" in Silent Hill.

Other than that, nice ideas.

Re: First Impressions

^In their defense, the Lakeview Hotel segment is the shortest of all locations. And it helps, because the Prison + Labyrinth is a loooong sequence of backtracking, item collecting and constant darkness. For me, the weakest segment is the hospital which is a downgrade from the original. I enjoyed the...

Now I suddenly want to watch an edited version of that scene where Douglas does an extremely exaggerated wink right into the camera, complete with a stupid smirk.

Soooo meta.

Re: SPOILERS Photos

It's a rather significant find - Perhaps the most significant one to come out of this remake so far. I wouldn't say that it changes everything, because it might just be the "final Easter egg" to fans as mentioned in the thread itself; IOW a reference to us having played the game for two de...

Re: Most Annoying Part of The Game?

I also wouldn't mind if the whole South Vale section is swapped for an Old + Central Silent Hill section instead. Especially if the remake is developed back-to-back with SH1, since Heather visiting locations like Alchemilla Hospital makes so much more sense than visiting Brookhaven. >>Game starts --...

Re: Most Annoying Part of The Game?

The most annoying part of the game is the pacing of the entire first half of the game. The whole stretch between the end of the shopping mall and Heather getting home is an absolute slog. It's just area after area of mundane garbage with zero significance to the plot, except for "shit's in my ...

Re: Would you prefer SH1 or SH3 next?

I really don’t understand why some people think the story of the first game is weak or lacking. The way it was told however was unconventional and intentionally strange, but the same could be said about almost every game in the series. It’s also a pretty common misconception to claim the game is ”ju...
