K, I'll see if they have it when I go get re3. This game looks scary, how is the movie I haven't seen it is it like the games? I was watching some gameplay videos of these games and one thing I like more than re is that the enemies are different. They don't all look the same and they look very weird.

What happened in the Bad Ending? :confused: Mine is that the blue cop urges harry to leave as teh place is crumbling down to the ground (Harry was griefing that his daughter died?).

After the boss fight (I think the boss fight is different for the Bad Ending?), Harry falls to the ground and grieves over Cheryl. Credits. Then you see a shot of Harry knocked unconscious in his Jeep, implying the whole experience was a dream.
TERRIBLE ENDING IS TERRIBLE.

Actually that was considered the most plausible ending of SH1 until SH3 came out :)

Just to let you know first Silent Hill movieīs story was made to establish Silent Hill. In the end of the movie Silent Hill became The Silent Hill we know from the games (The main story was a bit different but the point is still the same and Alessa is gone) and it was stated there will be NO direct continuation of the first movies story. The sequel will be "stand alone". So they can make a game based on the second one with charcters from the games but that would be horrible because majority of the people would know the twist from the game already.
Not true Christophe Gans said he will be watching very closely n the production of the second movie and he said that the second movie will tie up loose ends of the first movie....;)

Actually no. Iīve read/seen every interview and making of document and he clearly states (EVEN ON HIS BLOG HERE: http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/silenthill/productiondiary/index.php) that the second movie will not continue the story of the first one if HE will be envolved.

That is an old blog...
And i have seen recent news that sony plans to make it a trilogy...
Gans is not directing he will be producing...(cause he is doing onimusha the movie)
He said it will tie in loose ends from the first i will find the link and post it...

Please do so then, in the french interview that was translated by some kind soul he said he will keep an eye on art direction of the second movie and that it will be a brand new story.
I hope the second movie will not continue the story of the first one, all questions have been answered and the story is complete thereīs no reason to continue.

"It is confirmed by director Christophe Gans that a sequel to the film Silent Hill is "officially ordered and well on the way." He went on to state that Samuel Hadida and Sony Pictures' subsidiary TriStar Pictures and DreamWorks SKG are attached as producer and distributor respectively. He also confirms that screenwriter Roger Avary will return to write the film's screenplay with Warner Independent Pictures and Universal Pictures. Gans has also stated that the movie might tie up loose ends from the first film.
As of April 2007, Producer Don Carmody has stated that a screenplay is slowly being developed and that "[Gans is] involved pretty heavily in another project right now" and will likely not return as director. Gans has stated that he will stay close to the film's production regardless of his status as director. The film's story is unknown as well, but it is confirmed that the film will retain the visual look of the first film.
In July 2007, Avary said that he would not be returning to collaborate on Silent Hill 2 on the account that Gans would not be returning, either. The sequel will continue in development without Avary or Gans."

Ad 1. That was long time ago. I do believe you but I doubt a (and hope it will not) the sequel will continue the story from the first... and if so it will not be without butchering the first one completely. :)

Well alot of people who didn't play the game are confused...lol
And i saw another one that is new but i am trying to remember where i saw it...
I swear, whenever i need to find something my mind has a brain fart...
Other times i'm fine...
LOL back on topic: i wouldn't mind a continuation...
I mean they could make it where the dad from the movie goes to find rose and make it similar to the second games plot...(with subtle changes of course)
and if they make a third movie (which i'm sure they will)
They can use the third games plot...(once again with subtle changes)
I would be fine with it...
I loved the first film...
It is the closest video game adaption...
It probobly is my fav...
Actually that was considered the most plausible ending of SH1 until SH3 came out :)
..Really? I haven't seen the other endings yet, so I don't have a say on that yet.. That's interesting.

I think all together it was 5-7 hours, don't remember i will have to go back
and check....
I am sure it took me awhile though i barley played it....
At the time i was busy with TR: Legend...
I had the game for year but got stuck on the piano puzzle in the school so I gave up....
After legend I went back and beat it

Yeah, I clocked in at 7-and-something. I read that in order to get better endings, you have to do more exploration. Is this true?
I'm replaying it right now.. I'm up to the boat part where you meet Cybil and Dahlia. I think now it's at 7:25, so I'm hoping the extra effort will get, you know, a normal ending this time around.

Yeah you need to make sure certain characters are kept alive for certain endings....
Bad: Don't save Cybil or Dr. Kaufmann
Bad+:Save Cybil But not Dr. Kaufmann
Good: Save Dr. Kaufmann not Cybil
Good+: Save Cybil & Dr. Kaufmann
;)
There ya go i haven't tried to get the other ending yet...
I only played it once and got the Bad ending....

Most people get the bad ending in sh1 on their first time through because they are unaware that they can save cybil or kaufman.

Bingo.
I didn't know that when I was playing... I just assumed they were supposed to die. I guess I'll read an FAQ during my second time around.
So, does saving their lives affect the amount of info you get on Alessa/the town/etc? I got the bad ending, and it seems like they only skimmed the surface of the story behind Alessa.
I never played SH1, is it good?
SH5 looks great, I can't wait to play it. When I first seen a few early screens shots I wasn't impressed but when I seen the latest ones and the in-game footage I was very excited. It's looks great, I love the paint striping effect when the real world changing to the hellish one also that wheelchair being pushed down the stairs by someone or something. Also I like the fact that there are no blackout when passing through rooms. And most of all the nurses. :p

1) What happened to Cybil for the good+ ending? Harry saved her using the red liquid (donīt remember the name) and she survived.
2) She replaced his wife because itīs what happened. 7 Years ago Harry and his wife found Cheryl on the road side, in the Good+ ending Alessa is reborn and given by herself (weird I know :D) to Harry and Cybil thus changing the intro sequence.

2)thanks for clearing that up for me!

It is said that she helped Harry to raise Heather/Cheryl and was later killed by the cult... we donīt really know what happened to her but SH3 confirms that Good+ ending was the real one and I doubt Cybil would just leave Harry like that :)
a very very very long time ago I bought SH4. Tried to play but there was some bug that you couldnt higher your resolution...I read that you can fix that. So I was wondering if it was any good and I should start playing :p

Damn silent hill....
I have to say i have never been this scared of a silent hill game...
i keep looking for excuses not to play....
^ well, stop making those excuses and play the damn game :p It's totally worth it! Just make sure that you get behind the invisible things. They can't hit you that way. (though you have to get behind them every 2 blows)

Ok so i want to know what are the top three scary moment for people in silent hill?
(like moments that made you jump or your heart start beating fast)
*without spoilers if possible*
Here's mine:
1. Silent Hill 2: In the hospital where Pyramid Head chases you down the hall way... (forever will I fear the sound of metal screaching against the floor)
2. Silent Hill 3: When the body drops from the ceiling at The Haunted House attraction at the Amusement Park.... (i screamed and turned of my PS2 right then)
3. Silent Hill 3: The mirror room in the nightmare hospital...... (omg, i thought i did something wrong and my heart just about jump out my chest)
Now post yours....

1. I'm not scared of Pyramid Head lol. He's just a monster rapist to me after what I've seen him doing to the legs monster.Or maybe because I played SH2 the last in the series so I wasn't actually that scared anymore. Who knows..
2. Yeah, that scared me the most in SH3. The body that was hanged at the dining room! :yik: :eek: and there's thunderstrike.**** I was alone that time!
3. Is it the room where everything blotches black ink and you can't go out the door because it was suddenly locked? I watched Heather die slowly and whithered away that kind of creeped me too.

Yeah, that was the room.
After a while, the door actually unlocked and you could walk out unharmed (or with little damage).. pretty freaky stuff, though.

What do you think? Thoughts, suggestions?
well the first song made me drop my keyboard so you are definately on the right track xD!! Love Psalm hmmm i gotta look on the website for that song. *checks*
*pops in guest-like*
So, Origins is getting a bit of wallopin' from ZP (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/zeropunctuation/2791-Zero-Punctuation-Silent-Hill-Origins) this week... Never played this particular one, but gotta love personally how the author defined the essence of this game. Not some tacky Samael culty demony thing, but the town itself, without personification. Plus, Silent Hill 2 indeed rulz.
*slips back into the fog*
EDIT: Oh yeah, there's some vulgarity in that link, as usual.

Yeah, Love Psalm (from SH2) seems a bit overlooked in my opinion. I want to arrange sheet music for it, but that'll be the most difficult to do of the three.

It depends on you, and only on you :p
I can say it was the scariest for me, that the enemies were extremely nasty and I liked their design a lot. Though theyīre so fierce that escaping from them was almost impossible for me. I used to kill all of the enemies with an axe or a club (much better than the pistol).
The plot might not be the best, but itīs quite interesting. Play it and tell us what you think :tmb:
Which console did you get it for?

PS2.
Which previous SH is it most similar to, if at all? I really enjoyed SH2, but it looks like the style is more along the lines of SH3.
But yeah, I'm off to play it. I'll let ya know what I think after the first hour or so. :D
Do any of you like SH2 more than SH3? I love both but the third wasnt dark and creepy enough imo. James was mostly quiet, the story is awesome, and the environments are dull/depressing whereas SH3 has a lot of orange and red in it. Even if SH2 is old Ill always love it so much.

I agree. This whole red/yellow environment really can't live up to SH2's atmosphere in my opinion. I feel like I'm walking around in a McDonalds-gone-wrong or something. The SH2 atmosphere creeped me out because it was eerie and dark; SH3 relied more on shock images and gore for its means of terror. Which is fine and everything, but I respect SH2's method and atmosphere more.
And wow, I just found out it was released in 2001. The in-game graphics are stunning for that early of a game.

But SH3 and SH2 are two completely different kind of games. You can't really compare them seeing as both "otherworlds" are created by two completely different people/things.
Alessa's vision on the otherworld in SH3 is very red and orange, wich may imply the fact that she was burned, while James has seen completely different kind of things to create his otherworld.

I've heard that many times before, but I think they're very comparable. (I find that comparing apples and oranges is pretty reasonable; I like oranges more than apples, having tried both). Yeah, they're completely different otherworlds--one being Alessa's nightmare, the other James'--both with two independent stories. But as far as visuals, gameplay, and atmosphere, I enjoy the eerieness type of terror that the Silent Hill team innovated for SH2 rather than the traditional red-and-yellow theme they designed for SH1 and 3.

Yes, but now you are comparing it into a very different way. They designed it this way, to go with the story behind it. Simple enough :)

I never thought of that. I think you could be right. How about SH5 otherworld using the movies paint stripping effect? Which b/w looks awesome.

Because it's done by another american company who are just trying to recreate the movie :p
SH2 actually doesnīt have Otherworld until the very end in the hotel. Other times itīs just dark because itīs NIGHT. Example: Before you run into hospital where you first encounter the otherworld (after leaving Rosewater Park) you can see that the sun is setting. Everything has warm orange colour. When Maria "dies" and you exit hospital itīs dark outside. Itīs not otherworld, just night.

True, but I get the feeling that everything he encounters "normally" is the otherworld. I mean, you enter the hotel, but nothing is wrong with it. Then you enter a burned hotel, and guess what? The Hotel burned down some years ago.
But yeah I agree, James doesn't have much of an Otherworld, though my opinion is that everything he encounters in the first place is already "the otherworld". Mostly because he is imagining almost everything! From the letter to the death of his wife. I think the only "real" things James encounters, are Laura, Angela and Eddie. Angela and Eddie are going through something that is comparable to James' situation.
I really enjoy the Silent Hill games and have got all of them. I'm currently playing through Origins, although I can't play for too long - I get scared because, as suggested, I play in the dark with the headphones on.
The series highlight, as with most people, is Silent Hill 2. It's just such an intelligent storyline that drags you in. But each episode brings something new and unique to the series and the genre.
Probably the lowlight would be The Room. I don't like having to revisit areas I've cleared already, and I just didn't get the ghosts in his room so ended up dying quite a lot in the later stages of the game.
The movie, although largely, um, crap, did have some good in it. The atmosphere was spot on, I like the homage to the games, and it had Pyramid Head in it.
I am looking forward to Silent Hill 5, although the news that it could be more action orientated is slightly worrying - the best part of the Silent Hill series is the largely puzzle-based gameplay.

So you think it was all in his head rather than the town actually manifesting creatures and dimensions?
So you think it was all in his head rather than the town actually manifesting creatures and dimensions?
Yes I do. I DO think the he was drawn towards SH by the town itself (but mostly out of guilt and his memories there with his wife before she got sick), but I think that James was delusional most of the time. I think most of the monsters, locations and other manifeststations were in his head.
I mean, Laura couldn't see the monsters James saw, Angela's manifestation was a world of fire, in wich James' manifestation was grey and depressing with all femal monsters (except for PH) reminding him of what he did to Mary. All three sinners have their own version of Silent Hill in their mind.
They were drawn towards the town because of important memories of Silent Hill, though I can't prove this 100% because I'm not sure if Eddie had any previous relationship to SH.
James had a memory to SH because he went there with his wife, and Angela's mother had lived in blue creek (If I remember right) so she recalls herself.
I'm just not certain of this because I can't prove or remember Eddies relationship to the town.
Isn't Alessa the reason Silent Hill is like that? Then again I guess when you go to SH you make your hell.
Random note, but I finished writing some more Silent Hill piano sheet music if anyone's interested.

Yes, in SH1&3. Alessa has no business regarding James or even Henry, and if I recall it right, there were already strange things happening in Silent Hill long before Alessa was even born.

They were both murderers. Angela killed her father 'cause he had abused her. And Eddie was a psycho, who didn't care for human or animal lives. That's the short explanation. :)

Eddie is actually a killer too. He killed a dog and shot a guy in his knee. Though we don't know if he killed more people. But I actually think he did. I think all the bodies scattered around Toluca Prison are part of Eddie's personal hell. It said that all bodies where covered in bullet holes.
Also, all bodies look like James, but I think the developers were just lazy :p

Silent Hill Origins Coming to PS2
by Ryan Geddes
January 22, 2008 - Silent Hill Origins, a series prequel and the first handheld title in Konami's survival horror franchise, will soon irrevocably shred the space/time continuum when it is ported from the PlayStation Portable to the PlayStation 2.
Origins was released for the PSP in November and takes players back to Silent Hill to learn what made one of gaming's creepiest burgs so bizarre to begin with. Today, Konami confirmed that a PS2 version of said prequel is in development.
"Console gamers can now expect the same chilling, suspenseful and fear-filled experience that handheld gamers encountered when we released Silent Hill Origins on the PSP system," said Anthony Crouts, Vice President of Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "This is their chance to learn more of the mystery and mythos surrounding Silent Hill that's been hinted at in earlier games and made the series such a success."
Players take on the role of Travis Grady, a lone truck driver making a routine delivery when he makes an unfortunate detour to Silent Hill. You'll help Travis escape the city's blood-splattered inhabitants and unravel the mystery of the strange hallucinations from Travis' past, visions that have plagued him since childhood. -IGN

Thanks for posting that link; definately an interesting article.
A few things are bothering me about the new game though; the first is the mention of a "plucky" female character, akin to Heather from SH3. With all the horror around, I hope they don't make her too "plucky". There's also mention of increased comabt. Noooooo! One of the things I like about the SH series is the lack of combat. I just hope they don't take it too far and destroy the feeling of isolation and vulnerability with random enemies that need to be taken down with "grapples", "counter moves" and "evasive-roll maneuver".
I'm loving the mention that the transition from real to otherworld will be like in the movie; cool effect and with it happening in real time too! The new enemies sound interesting - espcially Siam. Ooh, and moral decisions could be a great new addition.
I like the sound of a player-controlled camera, but I do have some concerns that many of the unsual camera angles from previous games will be lost... one of my favourites is the up and round alley shot in the first game.
Overall my excitement is mixed with a little trepidation. Saying that, the overhaul of Resident Evil worked well.

I'm worried about that, too. The camera work in the SH1 alley was amazing.. definitely my favorite camera angle/movement from the series.
I'd like to assume they know what they're doing. I'm sure they're aware of the vulnerability/isolation issue, as well as the camera-style issue. Hopefully they've balanced it out, but, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

They say itīs just more of the same, that it contains all those great things of the SH formula but forgets to introduce something new (who cares about that? XD As long as it has the best of SH...)

^It was kinda hard for me to finish off Willard before Eileen gets into the blood pool. I only saved her once and get the good ending. Now when I played she drowns everytime and I got the bad ending :( *radio tells the news of a murdered woman,etc...* Maybe I just loose my touch.
Thank God for youtube :p
And yes, I used the Holy-Candle cheat to heal Eileen but it doesn't seem to work anymore other than my first try. :confused: Even if it works, she was only healed partially (still have few bruises and cuts on her body) and that's the reason she advances very fast towards the blood pool during the final battle.
Shark Blade@ itīs not a cheat, itīs a proper way to heal her :)
And the more damage she takes during the course of the game the quicker she walks in the end. It doesnīt matter how much you heal her.
And for SH4... I love the game. I love the urban setting, I love revisiting the old worlds with new areas open, I love the deaths of the victims who then come back to h(a)unt you. I love the music, I love the overall feeling of the game, I love the atmosphere and I love Henryīs "character".

Now you're talking. :tmb: I really loved the game for the same reasons too.
Silent Hill 4 in my opinion is the worst game in an outstanding series. That's not to say it's a bad game (and much better than most other survival horror games), it just didn't reach the unachievable high standards set by those prior. The concept was good, but the returning to previously visited areas really did seem a little lazy, Eileen was just annoying and for me it had just a touch too much combat.
I have Silent Hill Origins but haven't played it very much. I took on board the games suggestion about playing it in the dark and with headphones on, but I got too scared. There's a quirk that happens occassionally when the camera gets stuck and you can see inside Travis's head. I literally dropped the PSP. I do keep chipping away at it, and will almost certainly get it for PS2.
While I'm on, does anyone have the Silent Hill Experience UMD? Is it worth getting? It's on special offer for Ģ9.99 over at play.com.

The holy candles are mainly for exorcising the haunting in your room. They partially reduce the damage effect in the final scene yes, but that doesnīt mean you can let Eileen be beated continuously :D.

I actually see a lot of work already done in those pictures... the character models are much much better(look at Lisaīs face) and everything is much more detailed (The map is actually readable in the fifth picture). The pictures are from unfinished version (Theyīve been taken almost three months ago) and have been cropped and resized so donīt take them too seriously :).
OMG! Lisa looks like a drug addict 0.0
OK, I know she is, but she looks really ugly in that screen!

she still looks like a drug addict :p
Maybe because she's so pale, but something seems off

Well sheīs supposed to look a bit "off" :)

And she looks way 20 years old! I wouldn't think she is 16 at all :p

Yah but that was after the events of SHO. Her age in SH1 was 23. Her being a memory doesn't really have much to do with that. AND, I think team silent didn't intent to make Lisa look ugly before their first game and make her all pretty for the game. I think it is all just coincidence, and I was joking about the plastic surgery anyway :D

Yup, I even heard about western literature influence for the story. (and I'm not talking about "The Tempest") While Team Silent's games were more influenced by Japanese folklore and stories.
But SHO isn't a bad game or anything. It's just different :p

It looks very good graphic-wise, but I get the feeling that the team that's making it, is holding tightly to the motion picture, instead of the other games. I mean, the otherworld transformation was exactly like in the film, only was the creature in the last stall replaced by a nurse, which btw look exactly like the SH2, thus movie nurses.

I agree itīs like they donīt have any ideas of their own... but the gameīs still in development... letīs just wait and see... remember the huge transformation Origins made? :)

Well the only things I donīt really like are the things that were "borrowed" directly from the film (which I love and consider one of the best horror movies of 2006). Also thereīs no need to reuse nurses once again... I mean so far theyīve always been different in each game.
Um. SH4.
ENORMOUS EILEEN FACE.
What the hell? That was TERRIFYING.

I love that room... itīs so bizzare and it creeped the hell out of me :)
That's the first moment where I was legitimately startled in SH4. I don't scare easily, so it's good to know they threw something in there that takes people totally off-guard.
Exiting the Water Prison World the second time was a nightmare, too, with all those two-headed torso monsters (whatever they're called). Ahhh, nightmares. I love it.

Those twin baby face monster in Water Prison shocked the hell out of me the first time I jumped down the holes into the basement level though. I keep beating them eventhough they're dead :vlol:
I wasn't too scared with Eileen's giant face because I've seen it once in PSM where they parodied that scene (more like a snapshot with a funny one liner). What a killjoy, should've kept it spoiler free :pi: It says "I see you.." with a dialogue bubble pointed to Eileen and Henry just stood there staring.

Haha. You know, I've actually seen that before. But it was a while ago, so I had forgotten about it by the time I came across that room. That sucks that it was spoiled for you, though.
What terrifies me the most about the twin face monsters is how they just... stand there, waiting for you, pointing at you. Then suddenly they lash out. fslkdjflskjf.

Now everytime I saw them standing and pointing at me, I just ran to them and bash them *bam! bam!* with a lead pipe until they squeal lol :D
Anyone else a fan of the Borley Haunted Mansion in Silent Hill 3?
Funnily enough it scared the crap out of me!
*raises hand* MEEEEEEE!! :vlol: but In SH4 the biggest scare i ever had was when i was low on health and it was after that boss in the second visit to the water prison when you get that key and go into the room and see those monsters all the way at the end, i couldnt tell what they were at first so i started walking towards them, then one of them started chasing and then they al started to chase me Eileen being the dumbass she was started attacking them with her purse so i whiped out the magnum POW POW POW POW POW POW and killed all of them without dying :D

13-02-08, 22:26
lol i remember that part and i am also a fan of the mansion lol :D
OMG the room in SH 4 wit about 6 double-heads as the room gets bigger and bigger as you progress?
Yeah that was a highlighted moment however when I first encountered the shooting Nurses in SH 3 I was petrified, I thought it was Claudia :vlol:
:vlol: YES!!!!!!! THATS IT!!! It was freaky as HELL!!!! XDDDDDD i loooooved it XDDD :vlol: hmmm SH3....i had a hell of a lot of moments in that game, best one was the the "scream" in the mansion. :vlol:

I'm almost done with my piano arrangement of Laura Plays the Piano. :D I'll have it recorded once our piano is tuned (sometime within the next few days). If not, I'll have to go to my brother's house to record it... The sheet music for it should be here in a week or two, though.
(I originally had a sheet music arrangement of it, but it was complete trash, so I've deleted it).
AWESOME!!!!!! :tmb: thats great! Tell me when its done! Also im replyaing SH3 for the 4th time and the game o_o its different. A lot of the things changed, i think thats amazing!
I think I have completed Silent Hill 3 about 5 times :p I love the game! :D
YESSSSSSS!!! I got the heather beam!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in the Apartment World (2nd time) in SH4... I'm completely out of ammo and health, and there are ghosts and nurses everywhere. And Walter Sullivan likes to crop up here and there. D: omg it's nerve-wrecking
Were you guys low on ammo/health towards the end of the game, or were you pretty well-stocked?

I had plenty of ammo and medium amount of health... but thatīs because I never use guns until last part of the game (In every Silent Hill game) :). Actually when I finished SH3 for the 1st time I never shot a gun and I killed all enemies and bosses with knife/katana/mace :p
Which is a great way to play! I did that for SH1 and SH3 and it worked wonders.
Argh! Now I'm worried. Scratch that about the ammo, I just realized I have plenty of it. It's just health that I'm lacking. I'm usually an overly cautious player, always collecting as much as possible and using stuff as sparsely and wisely as I can. Lol, not so much this time around. :\

So, I was browsing a Silent Hill forum, when I came across a "Bands inspired by SH" thread. From that thread I found these two artists:
DJMonster! (http://www.myspace.com/theonlydjmonster)
Dysphorium (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=83465373)You NEED to check them out. I haven't had this hard of an eargasm since I first stumbled upon Akira's music. These guys are hands-down amazing, especially Dysphorium.
Just thought I'd share the love.
:jmp: those were awesome, not breathing FTW! xD
Dysphorium are really silent hill-ish, I love it. Much better than DJmonster :D

I totally agree. :D Though DJMonster!'s still pretty good, imo.
:jmp: those were awesome, not breathing FTW! xD
My personal favorite is "For Her", but "Not Breathing" definitely comes in close second for me. I can't get enough.. I wish this person would make more!
9 new SH5 screenshots were released on Gamespot yesterday. :D

This is the first time I've posted on this thread:jmp: I love Silent Hill 1 and 3 because they're the only one's I have:p People have said 4 isn't as good, so I never brought it. Anyway I love the atmosphere of Silent Hill. It's just plain freaky. Especially if you have the volume on loud. Sorry if someones already said that. I just can't be bothered to read through a whole god knows how many pages:p (73):)
^ I've seen them! Still not trusting the graphics :s
Well it's still in development so lets hope they improve that. Plus you can't really judge a game by screenshots. I'm sure in-game footage it will look much better (new footage that is of the latest build).

*crosses fingers*
Silent Hill was/is/will always remain my all time most amazingly perfect peace of art to look at/play; I remember the first time I've seen the 2nd Silent Hill trailer back in 2001... (wipes a tear)... Also, in 2003, seeing the 1st SH 3 footage, I'was like, WOW!
And now that we're in the "next gen" gaming generation, you can imagine how big are my expectations about SH5...
That's why, I'm a bit disappointed/sad/worried Silent Team isn't on it... :(

29-02-08, 23:29
I don't like it either that the original Team Silent aren't developing SH5, they didn't do Origins either but at least Akira still makes sure the sound of the game stays right. We'll just have to see how it turns out.

i dont have a psp so i cant play origins, does anyone have it and if so whats it like?? i hear lisa and alessa are in it
my best memory of the original silent hill is of of lisa, me and my mum used to play it together when it first came out * i was about 13 - 14 i think*
and when we saw lisa *change* we were both just horrified* in a good way*
that is one of the biggest impacts a game has ever had on me and i allways remember it, i loved lisa she was such an innocent in the drama, kept to the town because of her drug addiction and looking after the burnt alessa in the basement
i wonder if origins explains how she was killed?? im guessing by hoffman??

yea i do!! thats wicked, im looking forward to SH5 altho im worried thats its being done by an american company as opposed to team silent, *they wernt american right*
altho the trailers are looking pretty good, the controls are still a bit tank like tho, it looks like you can still face a wall and keep on running which is a bit weird, altho it says on wiki (the page of truthfull knowledge :p) that if u walk into a table it will move and the things will fall over which sounds good!

I think they're just for preorder there. Konami would have made some sort of announcement that the games are coming out earlier. Why haven't they.
Anyway they've just announced that they'll push Silent Hill 5 out during Q4 (Christmas season) this year. They weren't sure before could they publish the games this year but now they're aiming for it.
Hopefully a pc version will come soon after the console versions.

no, if it was for perorder then it wouldnt say usually ships within 24 hours, because if it was, then it would say pre-release then the date whenever its coming out.

not to mention the official konami site saying march 4, 2008 :wve:

Ok I found Konamis announcement from March 4th, you were right. So you Americans got it first. Konami didn't give any info on European release date so I guess we still have to wait the 2 months. Oh well. We Europeans always get slapped in the face. It's not fair.
