general impressions thread

Post by **Doo-glas** » 16 Jun 2010

ok since this board is a little discombobulated let's try just one thread for our general impressions after seeing the trailer

anyway my early impressions from the low quality trailer is that it looks like it has good potential

I like the new art style that doesn't seem to be just aping the movie like Homecoming, I also like that the otherworld is not just everything covered in snow and ice

I also thought running through the woods looked cool

I am now anxiously awaiting more info

I think the monster which becomes a cop is going to drive me fucking crazy once everyone starts saying OMG VINCENT WAS RITE THE MONSTERS ARE PEOPLE

this seems like it could be (another) reboot for the series, so even if the monsters are people in this one, doesn't mean they were in the past games

Silent Hill looks "smaller" than in previous installments
by smaller i meant by looking at the buildings, SH probably isn't a much developed town...
But thats my impression

This could be somewhere else in Silent Hill

^could be true, we don't know whats on the eastern bank of Toluca yet, so it could be that Silent Hill stretches till there (hopefully it won't have a hospital there, otherwise SH must have some serious problems

)

I said it before about sh sm and i will say it for this game it looks spooktastic! dare to even say spooktastically awesome! But my thing is who was the guy when the tv flickered on?

I wonder how the seemingly large amount of rain is related to the plot...if it even is. 0_o

It looks like a completely different town. I'd love if it was just a town twinned with Silent Hill or something. Massive cop-out, but then the developers can create just about anything.

Looks great. But some people compares it to homecoming, it doesn't look like homecoming to me. It looks more like a mix between SM and Resident Evil 3.5

To me, it looked like Leonidas from 300. But that's just silly. Or is it. . .?

Considering what Silent hill can do, it's not surprising if it warps and distorts itself a bit.

I'm more interested in how the story plays out, but of course I don't want to know this until the game is out. ruining a story is a big no no for me.

Definitely looks like a completely different town to me. But that doesn't really bother me. I'm more worried about story consistencies. I would rather they take the reboot path than the Origins plot-holes path. Especially since the guy saying "first time" or something seems to indicate he will be interacting with residents of the town.

Otherworld. Well, it looks very influenced by the boring and overused rust look, but it also had some new and interesting stuff going on as well, so I will need to see more before I make a real opinion on that.

Overall, I am somewhat worried, but mostly excited. It looked different and it looked like it could be good. Waiting for more information in the future.

Yeah, it is frakkng pouring! There wasn't even this much water in SH2. XD Maybe it's the Flood?

As for it not looking like Silent Hill, it could be years later. Or even be the actual "resort" version of the town in real time.

Just because there's a guy that says "first time?" doesn't mean he's a resident. He could be a repeat visitor to Silent Hill or commenting about the character.

The town looks messed up, too. Maybe someone nuked the crap out of it and this is the end result. xD

Post by **cascade88** » 16 Jun 2010

My first impression was to just be excited and even more optimistic for this title than I already was. I think it looks great, from what I saw and heard. AND IT WAS ACTUALLY CREEPY (to me) so that was a plus.

I don't know where people are getting "the monsters are people" from. I've watched teh trailer 3 times and haven't seen anything like that.

Also, that monster is FRAKKING SCARY. O___O
