I didn't think it could be done, but we finally have a game that is worse than Silent Hill 4.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

The Silent Hill series is pretty much dead. It needs a reinvention like Resident Evil 4.

The Room was awesome, much better than SH3 in my opinion. YMMV of course.

no thanks bro.

The Room was pretty good, it had a great concept. But I really hated those ghosts you couldn't kill.

When it comes to Silent Hill games:

1. Silent Hill 2
2. Silent Hill
3. Silent Hill 3
4. Silent Hill 4
5. Silent Hill Origins
6. Silent Hill Homocumming

If you want to play a great Silent Hill-type game, try Siren. I hope there's a new Siren in the making.

Here's the plot twist ending to the game:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Harry Mason died in the car crash a long time ago, the person at the therapist is actually his daughter, Cheryl. She develops some sort of father issue and becomes sexually deviant and fucks older men and longs for a father like Harry. The entire game is Cheryl's messed up mind. Gone is the ritualistic demons and witches, instead turned into an MTV version of underage sex and fucked up childhoods.

[close]

My SH rating:

1 > 3 > 5 > 2 > Origins = 4 > Wii

Now that's just plain dumb. Here I thought it was going to try to be more in line with the film. Seems like they made a list of everything that would make a remake of the first Silent Hill cool then made it a point not to do those things.

Third · « **Reply #9 on:** December 09, 2009, 03:08:54 PM »

I've been playing the game for about an hour. It is ok.
The controls are horrible, though. The pointer controls don't always respond that well during escapes, so it makes it quite frustrating to escape from enemies. And I've encountered a few glitches already. Some doors don't open when you run through them.
The graphics are good for a Wii game. Nothing special overall.

And Cybil is fucking ugly in this game. She looks like an old hag. I want my original Cybil back.

And there's no combat in this game, GM. You can only hide and run away. You can also use flares to stun the enemies.

What signs didn't tell you this beforehand?

-Game delayed over and over
-Konami ships a whopping 2 copies per store because they have no faith in it
-Yamaoka LEAVES Konami after 16 years, probably cause this game pisses on the SH franchise he helped create
-Wii/PS2/PSP release

/still playing it once it finishes transitioning to my wii in a bit.

You get different Cybil / Lisa / Michelle / etc depending on what choices you put for the tests. I got slutty Cybil because I put that I dont drink, I've never cheated, yadda.

I mean really. Sex questions? Cmon, it's a wii game.

I don't get the logic, you would think they would give slutty cybil to the people that DO drink and cheat and stuff.

I also think it is funny that slutty cybil is the one that looks most like the original.

They call it a "re-imagining", it's definitely not a remake. It has characters that werent in the original at all. None of the locations are the same, etc.

It's more of an MTV modernization. I guess a remake would be apt by today's movie standards. If you read the plot ending spoiler I posted then it fits. Only some hack writer would use that twist ending.

Looking at stuff like that is like a built-in psyche test. Depending on the stuff you pay attention to, it effects whatever you get.

The idea is actually pretty neat. I'm someone who checks out everything in a game. I don't know how this'll effect my progress/ending.

And the graphics effects for the first real world to nightmare world transformation were pretty impressive for the Wii. I think that was the best effect ever for a Wii game. The game has a lot of slowdowns, though. And I hate the fact that you can't hide forever for the enemies. They spot you way too fast.

Some of the endings

Bebpo · « **Reply #34 on:** December 10, 2009, 05:04:21 AM »

A few things stuck out to me.

1. The framerate is a fucking mess. This bothers me a lot because it's like HEY 60FPS and then drops to like 20s ALL THE TIME. It's always fluxuating based on how much is on screen and it's visually annoying. Should've locked it at 30fps if they could've hit that.

2. Control is interesting. Takes some getting used. I think it's good for exploring and trying to put yourself in the character's shoes, but I get the feeling it will be horrible for the chase sequences.

3. Doesn't seem to use the music much early on. Kinda dick since SH is music.

4. Graphics look nice at times, but then other times the enviornments look Dreamcasty. Plus the game is full of jaggies and dithering, but fuck that's every wii game.

5. It's SH1 again. Why do I care? I don't want to look for Cheryl anymore $:-\$

dark1x · « **Reply #37 on:** December 10, 2009, 07:33:43 AM »

So does it look worse than Silent Hill 3 in person? Sounds like the framerate is pretty bad. Origins had a similar issue on PSP. It would jump to 60 fps with your flashlight turned off and drop to 30 when it was on. Of course, this seems to go even lower...

It's a shame that the recent Silent Hill game have all been a technical mess (especially considering how impressive the PS2 games were).

Bebpo · « **Reply #38 on:** December 10, 2009, 12:43:25 PM »

The models are close but not quite. The environments are definitely not. They're going for having more junk on screen at the expense of framerate look. It also doesn't have the nice lighting.

SH Wii has the same problem that 99% of Wii games have: it's unpolished and no one cares to put the effort in because it's a Wii game. One area looks like a nice PS2 game, the next looks like a PS1 game? Who cares, it's on Wii. One section has 60fps until you turn your head and it drops to 30fps? Who cares, it's on Wii.

The only companies putting any real care into their products are some Japanese devs. Nintendo does for their major 1st party games of course, but in terms of everyone else only a few games like Madworld, FF Crystal Bearers, Tales of Graces, etc... really show off the screen by screen polish that was expected of major PS2 games and that we expect from AAA PS3/X360 games.

Eh, the PS2 had the largest percentage of 3D 60 fps games of any system to date. There were tons of 60 fps games on the PS2.

I think the point was that a game like this, released on PS2, would have had more effort put into it (technically). Few developers seem interested in pushing the Wii.

I think this game is mostly just a mixed bag of clever gimmicks. Its a good game if you're into novelty. That being said, they really missed the point on making it scary at all. The chase sequences are okay, as in you get worried when you realise you've run in a huge circle and now the monsters will be coming from all directions. Yet, outside of those sequences there could've been at least some roaming monsters to be creepy if not lethal.

Also, the text on your phone and on some of the signs is too small to read. this especially bothered me in the principal's office whereas you had to read a phone-number on a sticky note.

The passwords are different depending on your psyche profile. In my game, you had to read a sticky note and call the number. At the number you would get the first name of the principal's ex wife.

The escape sequences really hurt the game. It's not scary or tense- it's fucking annoying. The controls during escapes are so broken.
This is the least scary Silent Hill game so far. Besided being chased by monsters, nothing else happens that could possibly scare you. The game is really boring.
