In RE4 i can remember very few situations where I was surprised, much less scared. Having an infinite rocket launcher takes away all semblances of fear in a game. And even if SH did copy RE originally, as you mentioned, I think it's safe to say the master has been long and far surpassed by the student.

I also loved the little sub stories stories in the apartment building, and how each ghost did have a background.
The AI for Walter was broken and he would often run around in circles and with the same sound clips over and over, effectively killing any feeling of dread. Though I liked not being able to kill only to restrain the ghosts, though over all the implementation wasn't the best, I prefer this to random enemy respawns though.
Penumbra Overture has a great mechanic where you trap enemies you can't fight directly, but after you leave and come back they are magically free and you've lost your bait you used to trap them. Great potentially satisfying gameplay lost.

The ghosts were good in theory but having to fight an enemy that you can't kill, then going through the exact same areas and doing it again in the 2nd half was just no fun to play by the end, although it might've been slightly more bearable if they had a lead character with a single ounce of charisma.

its disappointing theres not a real definitive date as to when the game is coming out. yeah i agree the last great Silent Hill game was #2, the plot of #5 seems a bit ridiculous or tacked on im hopeful it can offer a great game like #2 we'll see we'll see.

Sure you can. There's Penumbr: Overture and now black plague. The Thief series on PC, though not horror focused, had some of the most intense and scary moments I can recall. Condemned is also a good attempt that I think is on the right track. FEAR not so much.

SH1 was definitely seen as a ripoff of Resident evil's formula at the time, and frankly that aspect isn't as important as the mood, art, story, and puzzles. I don't think this will be anything like RE4, though. I don't think they will mess up that badly and confuse the two.
I'm honestly willing to let a non japanese company handle this, that's not what bothers me now. The focus in the interviews and the screenshots, monster designs are what bother me. The first footage they showed looked right out of the movie and while technically proficient and impressive, it also showed instantly too much emphasis on the generic SH setting and look of the film and the inclusion of a "nurse" monster that seems far too blatantly generic and sexual now. A new nurse look would be interesting, maybe something that was more inline with Shephard's experience, as the nurses themselves represented Alessa(heather) and James's psyche. Sh4 the nurses were at least unique and different. These are just a rehash of SH2 with more boobs and a slightly different face.

It looks very drab and grey, not quite as visually arresting as a SH game. But I am a wait-and-see kind of guy, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

btw, there's a lot of talk about Jacob's Ladder with regard to SH, which is a great movie, of course. For any fan of SH, especially SH2, I highly recommend you watch The Machinist, starring Christian Bale. It's more of a paranoid thriller than a straight up horror film, but the movie has sooo much in common with SH2 you'll swear you were watching an SH2 movie. It IS my SH2 movie. It really makes for a better SH movie than the SH movie, imo. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, it was directed by the guy who did Session 9.

thats what adds most of the tension.

I have since come around to the game and I think it will be pretty good. I don't think that Konami would just hand this game to any old shmuck team and the collective has the drive to do this right. Also there is some interesting new Silent Hill gameplay ideas being used. The edition of full Havok physics should be quite a big change for the series. You can't really tinker to much with the Silent Hill formula or people will freak the hell out. We have seen so very little for this game that I think people are drawing their conclusions a little too quickly. Wait until we see some more game footage and get more details on the game.

But what I'd like to know is, where are all the other Jhorror games like Forbidden siren 3?

I thought the story was possibly one of the best in the series. The characters were a little weak, and some of the mechanics needed some polish, but overall I liked it and was really looking forward to a silent hill in a sunlit environment.

Origins has been good so far(far better than i had expected) and if more horror games in general were this mature, I'd be happy.

I think that was the ending you got if you killed Cybil, right?

See, that's the impression I would have liked to have as I am a gigantic fan of Jacob's Ladder (it's not uncommon for me to get in the mood and watch it twice in as many days), but again, 3 totally changed that.

SH2 is easily the best, however. In fact, I should go play it again...but I can't help but wonder if the SIXAXIS will just make it harder to play (no health status indication).

They and Akira gave it a stamp of approval, as I recall. But this could simply be due to them wanting to expand the franchise to new players.

When i first picked up sh2 (my first sh woo), i didn't really like the guy. The story just seemed boring. It's only after i played through the appartment that the game drew me in. You just have to give these guys a change. I mean, people bitched when retro studios started making metroid prime, that turned out pretty good, no?

@Koztah: aw, i see your point but that was the huge payoff! you thought 1 ended ok, and then...man, that was harsh. I still dont know why people dont dig 3 as much...its not the classic mindfuck that 2 was, but its a great, great horror game.

The idea that he was still in the car the whole time and only experiencing Alessa's manifestation of the town(memory) I think is a common theory.
SH2 definitely adds to the theme of people in a moral limbo/purgatory facing their 'sins' in life.

SH3 does sort of throw that out (and had the weakest story and worst voice acting in the series for me) but some of the best art.

and now he's overseeing SH5, so you can guess how that's going to turn out.

***SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT***

The Jacob's Ladder link is obvious to anyone who's watched the film, but after hearing the devs say it's based off Ladder, it always had me wondering if the Silent Hill main characters are all dying. Though this wouldn't make sense for Harry Mason due to Silent Hill 3...

It had been a few years since I had seen the original though, so the westernization might not have been as grating for that reason. US version of Battle Royale (not horror) will be a huge change I expect.

@KurtSubvert: I like the lighting and camera of the hallway shots, and they have said they are working on a bunch of different filtering effects, so there very well maybe grain and other similar 'dirty-ing' effects in the final game.

Konami's most successful franchise? Are you joking? Take a look at the industry reports on the Silent Hill games. They peaked in sales with SH2 and dropped dramatically with each follow up. Its the reason Team Silent reorganized, stopped doing SH games and moved on to bigger better things.

JL was influential to the first one as well, along with the Mist those are the two main influences from what I recall. When SH movie came out I asked people if they thought it was as good as JL because it wasn't and therefore still hadn't risen to a potential of being more than a decent Video Game movie. JL is one of my all time favorites. We should swap lists of movies in this general area.

@Lackshmana: I respect your restraint and reservation of judgment. And I agree, that there's not enough to tell much yet.... that being said screenshots, footage and information are released to promote and give a taste of the direction a game is going, and what I have seen so far doesn't appeal to me or set me at ease. I hope, and believe the collecive will be following what people say about what is released and take it into consideration as was done with Origins. They seem like a competent team and I believe they are passionate about the material.

The graphics look generally unimpressive. For a Silent Hill game I think that's kinda serious. A game Silent Hill V should have good visuals.

Id call it more a psychological thriller though than actual horror. Yamaoka stated that himself in an interview. You can totally see the influence being reflected in the game in several parts.

I kinda miss movies of that quality, since it was a damned fine move.

In FEAR the moment I started being fired on by generic marines while crouching behind boxes in a warehouse (you know, about 5 min in) I knew it was going downhill - I was hoping for sort of a survival horror with neat effects game.

So now they have survival horror, and neat effects for sure. It just has to be fun and no more will be needed... at least for an outsider like me!

Meaning that Silent Hill definitely was influenced by western (good though) psychological 'horror' and that Konami oversaw the film and said they were satisfied, and I expect they are ok with SHV as well. In their minds they could feel that they failed to make silent Hill western enough and Gans and the collective will achieve that.

The series was also heavily influenced by the Mist, the stephen king short, now a movie, and yet if Stephen King touched silent hill it would be ruined.
Was SK's version of Lars Van Trier's the Kingdom good? I wouldn't expect it to be. I recommend LVT the Kingdom for those that like more 'offbeat' 'horror', like Lynch and Silent Hill.

@AkumaX: Agree.
There were like 2 games that you could call "decent": "Marc Ecos Getting up" (which imho sucked) and "Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb" with was just an "ok" game. Beside those exceptions they have horrible games record, with games like "The Da Vinci Code" on it. Well even if they've had only AAA games on their list, i doubt that they would have managed to get the atmosphere, characters, design and the story right...
J-horror should be handled by japanese guys, what Climax did to SH:Origins clearly showed that. :(

@chucklebuck: I'm enjoying 0rigins myself too. Personally I like the weapons breaking, although it's a bit silly that a katana has the same lasting power as a broken off piece of a flimsy wooden fence! I don't dislike it as much as everyone else, being a big SH fan and the fact that it's a portable game (which everyone else seems to have disregarded) allowed me to give it a wide berth.

Anyway, those screenshots still aren't looking good. I hear there might be... quicktime events. -_- Sneaking through an abandoned sanitorium, seeing veins pulsate through the walls, hearing a nearby scuttle or groan, then all of a sudden, a giant flashing X appears onscreen. No!

just look up the monster concepts for this game (such as 2x4 head - pyramid head with a plank of wood nailed to his face, or a snake with a baby's head) and you'll realise how badly this game is going to fail in every possible way.

I realize a lot of people didn't like 4, and even with it's flaws I consider it the second best story in the series.

I do find the breakable weapons to be a huge pain in the ass (and I loved Yahtzee's line about having a coat that fits 36 portable televisions), but it's definitely scaring me enough that I only play it in small doses.

I'm hoping this comes out on the heels of a PS3 price drop and after the Blu-Ray 2.0 spec is implemented for the PS3 in a perfect harmonic convergence.

It isnt even based on J-horror. The devs said it was influenced by Jacobs Ladder (american film) and films from the director, David Lynch (american). There's no J-horror connection.

The developers (and players) want new stuff, some innovation. But, deviating from the tried-and-true Silent Hill formula (deserted town, mutated creatures, lots of fog, etc.) will cause uproar and dislike among said gamers. So how can they make something new and fresh that isn't new and fresh? Granted, I love the original Silent Hill and the second one, but I wonder how much more can they do with the same setting? Resident Evil finally started to get away from Raccoon City, but like a recovering crack addict, the series keeps wanting to creep back for more.

Mainly the one with the dog jumping at him where it is already on him.
And the shot from behind of him running down an empty road. In fact that screenshot looks worse than some last gen games. His back is basically a brown slab.

With such heavy fog I would hope they could make the graphics truly amazing. They will only ever have to render small environments.

Graphically the two versions look identical. Put two of the same screenshots in different tabs and switch between them and there are literally 0 changes.

Haven't played Origins yet though I hear it's a mess just as any horror game on a PSP would be.

Anyways, these screens look meh... I want more alternate Silent Hill and there is too much influence from the film in those screens which was influenced by the style of Silent Hill 3. We'll see where it goes but this game will never stand up to the first three and especially 2.

That's a good question. Were there a lot of junkies shooting up in the bathroom and having accidental overdoses in Silent Hill? Corpses next to a toilet is an odd thing to have your franchise associated with. I suppose the rationale is dirty toilet = gross. Corpse next to dirty toilet? = grosser.

Hope it comes to PC.

it's better that those are just really early experiments for their engine, nextgen machines can push a lot more the game environements, maybe they have to take a look at the last Alone In The Dark trailers?

Sorry to say this, but It really doesn't feel like a SH like this.

This should be handled with the utmost care by Konami Japan. If we learned anything from American companies remaking/working on J-Horror movies it's to NOT LET AMERICAN COMPANIES WORK ON J-HORROR.

It does look good at some points like when he has the light shining on the zombie dog but ultimately I'm dissapointed.

I mean ... it's to the point if I see a screenshot of a corpse near a toilet, I know it's a Silent Hill game.

That strip of blood going under the doors in the picture? You just know you'll have to walk into that room and see what bleeding being got pulled in there and who did the pulling and you just know it will be scary as hell. This one could do what 3 and 4 couldn't -- live up to the second.

Always the same amount of dirtiness to them. Like there's a standard for how dirty a bathroom should be.

Everything else looks nice.
