Are you in the first set of apartments? If you are then you’re in for a reality check. It gets completely dark in the last couple of environments.
coincidently, i'm installing the game now, i have no patient to wait for my PRO, i decided to jump in first.
this is exactly why "leave" is nice but also kinda dodgy, and "in water" is the definite ending, or rather NG+ "serenity" being the extension of it - The body is there under a blanket when you start the game, you can see it through the window. It's deliberately ambiguous but canon according to Ito and the rest afaik
Sounds like an issue the remake introduced then...this is exactly why "leave" is nice but also kinda dodgy, and "in water" is the definite ending, or rather NG+ "serenity" being the extension of it - The body is there under a blanket when you start the game, you can see it through the window.

No. Both "Leave" and "Maria" play out the same in the original. You also don't see Laura anywhere near the car, the last shot is them walking through the cemetery in both versions. It's in "Maria" ending where they get back to the car, but that one is basically James surrendering to his delusions as Maria isn't "real", therefore is no issue either.Sounds like an issue the remake introduced then...
In the OG you couldn't see what's in the car backseat, in the remake you can, that changes things for the Leave ending.
Wait, so how does that tie in to the wholethis is exactly why "leave" is nice but also kinda dodgy, and "in water" is the definite ending, or rather NG+ "serenity" being the extension of it - The body is there under a blanket when you start the game, you can see it through the window.

Yeah, man. A few pages back, I was kind of ragging on the combat, but after a few hours more, the "clunkiness" started feeling intentional and like exactly what they were going for. In other words, they built the game around how it controls (like another action/survival horror game by the name of RE4).
My take on that is that's it's a lie he told himself to cope with the situation and he realizes the truth at the end.
She wasn't. You learn that in the Hotel when James learns Laura's age. It's part of his delusion as "unreliable narrator"
Sure, but now we're entering "Death of the Author" levels when creators/authors comment on things you couldn't normally see in the game.
Yea, I posted since then. Melee is definitely better than AITD though I've been employing the same tactics to great effect.
I fucking made it
See, I thought that was saying Silent Hill was outside of time or something. But this was before I knew about the
This is one game that screenshots, gifs and even videos don't do justice to it because you miss out on various aspects like the audio, the build up, each person's experience and actually controlling the game, etc. Regardless, the environmental design is top notch and combined with the excellent audio, it really comes together so well.
I feel like the hallway brightened up a bit when I smashed a window in the 2nd floor apartments. The game excels at environments and lighting.
I mean this is spot on to me. The game actually feels like an elaborate judgment at every turn. The street areas and character interactions feel like relief just to make the punishments feel worse. And those elements are all wistful and doom-y.I have 0 problems affirming that the later areas in this remake are the scariest environments known to mankind in video games. And a lot of it is sound design, sure. You’re basically underneath hell itself for very, very long stretches of time.
You’re in the abyss with the whore of Babylon overseeing you.
It absolutely gets under my skin.
And I love it.
Not sure where you are right now but at least on Hard, the combat ratchets up to oppressive gauntlet levels. The game just kind of takes its time and has a fantastic, hulking sense of pacing. It makes it feel like shit is always getting slowly worse and worse until it goes all in and you just wanna go call your mom.
Edited. I had posted a conversation between me another user from that thread, but then it seemed like I was putting someone on blast. Suffice to say, I got what I wanted out of this remake that aligned with what I was looking for from that thread.This thread is an amazing read today

"My name...is Maria," the woman smiles. Her face, her voice... She's just like her. Having received a letter from his deceased wife, James heads to where they shared so many memories, in the hope of seeing her one more time: Silent Hill. There, by the lake, he finds a woman eerily similar to...www.neogaf.com
Yes. In the end, I accepted that Bloober intended it to be pitch black outside of your flashlight's cones in some areas, as much as I wanted the security blanket of...being able to see what's trying to kill me lol
Embrace it. Play at midnight.
He's the only "pure-human" enemy I recall fighting, and the rhythm, arena, and tactics in that encounter were different from the rest of the game and still well done. I hardly shot him at all--I listened to his footsteps and barks, which told me where he was in the fog, ran up to him, dodging his gunfire that's easy enough to read, and beat the crap out of him with the metal pipe. Sooooo satisfying.
