brandonh83 said:I hated the soundtrack when I listened to it the other day, but the thing is, so far all I've heard is music that's actually not on the soundtrack, beyond the music that plays when you're first exploring that you heard a lot during the E3 stuff and it's very good. I'm starting to think they left some of the best stuff off the soundtrack, because it's evident to me that the soundtrack does not completely suck as my initial impressions otherwise suggested.
I'm happy you liked themdoomed1 said:Special thanks to Jocchan for the new banners in the OP!
MiniDitka said:Hoping someone can help me out,I'm in the art room at the high school and don't know what to do next. I tried rearranging the statues on the table to match the painting but nothing happened and I cant go anywhere else because I need a key to get through another door in the same room and also need a key to get into the planetarium.
Older Silent Hill games were more like Dead Space (but insanely better), you were creeped out by the atmosphere more than anything else.tass0 said:Can anybody tell me what kind of "scary" this game is?
I liked Dead Space because it has such an awesome atmosphere, and you're always fearing for your life. Is this like Dead Space or like FEAR which is basically random screamers?
scitek said:I know this isn't Climax's first Silent Hill game, but could it just be that Team Silent was a ridiculously talented group that is much more the exception than the rule? In other words, is it really fair to expect Climax to live up to their reputation?
brandonh83 said:I really think the big difference between this game and the others is that... okay, in this one I've been creeped out exploring the various places I've been, but the problem is that since the game doesn't have the trademark Silent Hill level of creepiness and insane art direction, I don't think that subsequent playthroughs are going to be very captivating. I can replay the earlier titles over and over, and still be completely unnerved by them. Here, it's like, I think my first time through will be an edgy enough experience, but the art direction and scares aren't anywhere near being strong enough to make the second trip worth taking so far. That's a pretty big problem. It's creepy in its own ways but they're not just not being daring enough. And I know Climax can do it because I felt that Origins had its moments.
But, I'm liking the game a lot right now. It's missing some heavy marks, but it's also doing plenty of things that I deem to be very cool and unique, and even though I think replays are going to be boring and not scary at all, at least this first time through has been relatively creepy at times. That's more than I thought I was going to be able to say about it, and I am pleasantly surprised with the title overall so far.

Pros
- great visuals
- intuitive and original gameplay mechanics
- amazing use of Wii controls
- story/characters
- heavy on atmosphere
Cons
- lacking the fright of past SH titles
- chase sequences are tedious, not scary
- other scares are kind of lame
- bland art direction
If I were to review the game right now, I would probably throw a 7/10 its way. Hopefully things get scarier and the art direction takes off, because aside from that there's a really great game in here somewhere. The positives are keeping it afloat, but the negatives are weighing on me. Time will tell.

Silent Hill fans need to get used to it. They dont need to like it, but that's how the industry turns. The 'good old days' are over.
Really great write-up. I was looking forward to seeing what you had to say about it and am pleased to see that even a skeptic like yourself found a lot of things you liked about the game. I can't wait until I can play it now.brandonh83 said:impressions
slasher_thrasher21 said:Climax. My hats off to you! I'd actually like to see you guys make your own suvival horror series now with what you have learned doing this. Also the tech behind your game, damn...more Wii games need to look THIS GOOD! Overall, I was very pleased and I'm going to start a second run through of the game tonight. From what I read, the ending I got was deemed the "good" ending.
Wonder how much of this will translate to the PS2 version. :\brandonh83 said:Pros

shidoshi said:First, so far, with the opinions that you have about the game - was I totally insane in my review, or can you see where I was coming from? *laughs*

El Pescado said:I'm wondering what ending did you get? I gotCheryl is the patient and the doctor goes on about how Harry was a crappy guy and she shouldn't hold him in such high regard. I also got the brown hair/less sexy Cybil and the pink dress Michelle. I'm not sure how many different variations there are, but I'm hoping for some sexier ladies on my next playthrough...
MiniDitka said:Unless I missed something it didn't reveal anythingI'm so confused : (I tried rearranging the statues several times and never noticed anything come up after it was done
EatChildren said:Silent Hill is destined to never, ever be like it was, simply because from here-on out it will be handled by people with different direction. That doesn't mean it wont be good (great, even), or that it wont do a solid job of digging into source material and concepts, but it's always going to be at least a little bit different.
Silent Hill fans need to get used to it. They dont need to like it, but that's how the industry turns. The 'good old days' are over.
Doh! thanks slasher.slasher_thrasher21 said:If your talking about the art room puzzlePut the items in the spot like on the canvas, then look behind at the shadows, you should see some numbers...call that number
El Pescado said:How far are you?
The chase scenes don't ever really change. I mean, the monsters evolve with your psych profile, but you're never attacked outside of the Ice Hell. That seems to be what you're hoping for anyway.
MiniDitka said:I suck at puzzles :lolCode for the gym room please
slasher_thrasher21 said:Just beat it a second time. Only took about 3 hours. Some things changed a bit. Different ending. Though it seems to suggest the player should replay it a again. Wonder if you get all the different endings if there is a additional scene.

Ones I find yes. I still can't seem to figure out how to open thesafe near the end of the game.

When you're hacking the principal's PC and you click "forgot your password?" the security question is "My bitch of an ex-wife's name?"
Totally wasn't expecting that and I laughed my ass off.
