I still have hope kojima might be able to make a good one, especially with plenty of ito influence, but this is literally the last chance.

Other than that, yeah, it has been pretty shitty to say the least.
>>259275859
try resident evil. those awful movies destroyed any hope of the franchise recovering.
They have the best waifu though.
>>259276505
lel and those 5 shitty resident evil movies and shitty re6 is any better? Kojima Hills looks way more promosing that anything resident evil can shit out this decade
I don't understand people who say they like the first Silent Hill, it's completely forgettable and filled with to the brim with stupid fucking moments, it even shoves in Pyramid Head for no reason.
Sure, it looked pretty at moments, and had nice music which was taken from the game, but holy shit, just because Revelations was bad it doesn't mean the original gets a free pass.
>>259275859
>mediocre
nigger i'm playing silent hill 3 right now and the gameplay is beyond mediocre, it's abysmal.
>>259276871
*the first Silent Hill movie.
Is what I mean, obviously.
Don't hit me.
You mean a fucking awful film right faggot?
>>259276871
eh I enjoyed the first movie. Don't really give a shit if pyramid head is in the movie.
>>259276871
It managed to nail the atmosphere pretty well and had Laurie Houlden in tight leather pants so it could have been worse. Story was retarded and the Sean Bean scenes were pointless but it was one of the better film adaptations of a video game that's been made.
>>259275859
It doesn't really help that Silent Hills looks nothing like a Silent Hill game. They should let the series rest in peace.
>>259276339
>>259277076
yeah the first sh film was good for a game film
i mean they could be worse, they could be the re films
>>259276339
If you went to watch Silent Hill: The Game: The Movie, it was shit, no arguments there.
But if you just watched a horror flick name Silent Hill it wasn't half bad.

>>259277769
1 is on PS1 classics, and if you really want to torture yourself the patched SH HD is much better than the original product. otherwise no
>>259277925
I didn't know del Toro was a writer. As a professional and passionate one.
Otherwise I'm a writer too.
>>259277928
I have it on the ps3 and it plays fine. Just faggots crying over little things.
>>259277928
Apparently the ps3 got more love than the 360 release. Either way, the games are playable on the PC so why bother shelling out money to play inferior forms of the game?
>>259277726
I really hope it will trun well but the demo didn't looked like Silent Hill at all, there even was a fucking jumpscare in. I really hope the game will be nothing like PT but godamn, it's worrying.
>>259276871
It's a vidya movie. Expectations were extremely low. Then, we got a director that sort of "got" it, and tons upon tons of studio interference. I can promise you that the studio execs pushed for Pyramid Head to be in there, among other things.
Hell, I'm surprised they got away without a happy end.
Also, check out Jacob's Ladder, it's the movie the Silent Hill aesthetic is based on.

It is easily, EASILY the worst version of them all.
I mean, the games have been released on the PC, for fucks sake. Just play that version instead, everyone has a PC that can run it by now.
>>259278691
Twas an attempt at sarcasm
>>259277928
It was developed by a mobile games developer, without any affiliation with the original developing team or willingness to pay loyalties to the original voice actors. That's how much Konami wanted to cut the budget.
And the absence of SH4 is completely unjustifiable, given that Konami was the one that decided to include the title with the franchise.

What is really sad is that Shattered Memories were nothing like other sequels para siting on SH franchise and foundation and yet it was damn good concept and game.
The developer probably ate their own fingers while making it, after they realized half-way through what they are shaping this into and why it is so bad it had to bear SH name on it
Fucking Konami.

It's sad, really.
Silent hill being handled by kojima is the best possible thing that has happened to this series for a while.
Come on now, or would you rather have them to give the franchise to some random western chuckfucks developers?
I'm a bit scared since Koji doesn't have any terror in his history but they have Del toro to cover that up.
>>259277065
I bet he likes the new resi evils

>ywf kojima has to save every Konami franchise they managed to beat to death
>>259280068

After the fiasko with LoS2, a developer from Mercury leaked some info on breddit, mentioning that Kojima literally (and yes, i sue this word properly here) had nothing to do with both Projects, he was just there for the sake of the name. He never contributed anything or revised anything. Nor the heads of MErcury wanted him to.
>>259279772
>I'm a bit scared since Koji doesn't have any terror in his history
Neither did the creator of the Silent Hill series before making it.
Playing through SH2 now and i don't understand the hype. it's been mediocre at best so far.
>>259279235
>>259279235
>>259279235
Only if your a retard.
Kojima has wanted to make a silent hill game for a long time, i think his track record more than proves he is capable of making a great game. I think he will put more pressure on himself for this to be good than we are. Its in good hands
>>259280437
Mercurysteam developed Lords of Shadow as a new IP. Konami was about to can the game until Mercurysteam showed a playable demo in a meeting at which Kojima was present. It was Kojima's idea to rebrand the game as a Castlevania title, that's why his name was attached to the title.
>>259275859
It's not that Silent Hill fans are unlucky, it's just that the survival horror genre, or just horror as a genre in general, died with the Playstation 1. There was such an oversaturation of the games instead of a slow trickle that by the time they realized they had something on their hands the genre was already dead.
It sucks, but what can you do about it? Short of just having the whole industry and everyone making games now and in the future to stay off the genre for a decade or two, so the next horror games are actually legitimately scary. People just aren't as easily scared by that shit anymore, and once that inevitably happened, sometime after Silent Hill 2 released, the genre was dead.
The worst part is that to make a successful horror game, you have to walk an extremely fine line.
>>259277458
Only good thing about the first movie was that they used the original soundtrack. The plot was fanfiction tier with awful characters, edgey melodrama, and copy pasted monsters with no connection to the story. It should have the best game to do an adaptation of but they gave it to the wrong people and there's almost no chance of a good remake.
>>259278345
Silent Hill had jump scares. Jump scares are useful for horror. You cannot maintain fear on atmosphere alone. No matter how creepy something looks, if there is never any surprise, the player may trust his surroundings at face value. That trust often eliminates a player's fear, as the unknown is the best source of fear.
>>259281350
Yeah, and? His involvement was minimal starting from the first title
>>259281953
He fucked the franchise in the ass with that brilliant decision of his.
>>259282221

>>259281780
>You cannot maintain fear on atmosphere alone
You can stretch the atmosphere longer than you think if you pace it well enough. The really fucked environments can be placed much later on
>>259282701
Are you dense or what? He called a shitty stand alone game that was about to be cancelled Castlevania and Konami went on to publish it. Not only that, but it had a shitty sequel and 3DS game, too.
>>259280165
the way you say it makes me think that silent hill is similar to monster hunter. oh wait, i just played thealessabossfight. it's beyond awful.

>>259275859
So where's the aftershot?
>>259283603
Is that like your counter argument? Konami and Kojima are the reason Castlevania got fucked up.
>>259277458
>>259277535
The first movie is shit where the only redeeming quality is how hilarious it was to see PH skin that girl and bits of music from the games. It wasn't "good for a game file' because that is' just admitting it's shit. It certainly doesn't compare to the greatest videogame film everMortal Kombat
>>259283971
No, i don't argue with insane basement-dwellers on 4chan when I see one. I tried, but your response was more than enough to don't give a fuck
I think that Team Silent is the most overrated dev team ever assembled. Yamaoka is half of the game and he isn't even part of TS + whoever was in charge for technical stuff.
Gameplay is shit, map design is copypasted, lore is iffy, english dub is laughable, puzzles ... there are several good puzzles. There are very many mediocre and downright puzzlingly bad ones. Silent Hill 3 is among the very worst games that I've played when it comes to mechanics.
>>259284860
He's right though. Castlevania is dead due to Kojima.
>>259285082
A vile attempt, anon. I do not idolize Kojima, not dislike so all your efforts in vain.
Kojima has nothing to do with it. Retarded Konami and their choice to let Mercurysteam to tinker with it was the reason of downfall.

Again, if you did bother to read.
It is not Kojima's fault game is shit. Decision he made is not related to quality of new Castlevania, it is shit because MercurySteam is a shit and mediocre developers, who simply jizzed themselves once they got hands on this license.

No, it is Konami's fault they wanted to steer away from old good track and what made castlevania awesome and try to appeal to wider western audience with their shitty attempts at God of Vania.
Nobody from old TA complained about SoTN clones every year or two, only retarded snobs from so-called "game press". I fucking loved every GBA and DS game and I wouldn't mind more.

Konami kinda didn't want to do it in the first place. It was Kojima's decision.
>>259288165
what
I long ago accepted that SH was dead. If Kojima misses the mark, he might still give me something close to a really creepy Eternal Darkness. He's good at fucking with the player, so I'll be fine with accepting this new take on things, it won't erase the old games.
>>259278075

>>259290382
Fatal Frame U looks very promising though, hopefully it will be localized

SH:SM is not the sort of thing you can make into a franchise. You can really only play that card once and make it work.
>>259275859
>kojima
>shitty writer
Great bait, dude.
>>259290737
I was talking about the concept itself. They had to shrink and shape it down to meet the whole SH1 remake, but the original idea and base could be worked out differently into something bigger.
We will never know the truth, but i have a feeling Climax had to scrap and re-do their only decent project and make SH out of it. A sad story that happens to such developers often.
Fucking greedy publifags fucking hate them. Fucking Jowood. FUCK THEM
>>259290935
no anon you are the baits.
>>259291126

What was their original idea?
>>259285060
Gameplay is fine what are you talking about. How the fuck is the lore iffy? English dub is also fine. Silent Hill 3 had the best mechanics out of the four.

Opinion discarded.
>>259293603
The first four games are all good, after that it gets shit.

>>259281713
Actually, you're forgetting about the set design and cinematography that mimicks the games. I somehow get the feeling that everyone except the writer of those SH movies actually played the games. It's like they had fans of SH work on the movies but they were given the shittiest script ever.
>>259294380
nigger you say as if Mikami never existed. Silent Hill is the retarded version of RE, it always went with 'muh atmosphere' (admittedly great) because they could never mimic Mikami's design well.
>>259297836
...the combat in sh1 was better than resident evil...

>>259298629
No seriously, not that either one was particularly good, the combat system in RE was so poorly implemented it almost behaved like turn based combat when it came to melee weapons
>>259298629
He's right actually, but it didn't emphasis it.
Do people play Silent Hill because it's scary, or is that secondary to the writing and atmosphere?
I think the teaser showed that at the very least, the fundamentals of horror in the imagery and sound design are there.
>Everyone saying how brick shittingly scary PT is and how silent hill is saved
>Go play it

NO
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

WHY DOESN'T ANYONE KNOW WHAT A HORROR GAME IS ANYMORE
FUCK
>>259300141
I don't know about most people, but I play it for the writing and atmosphere a (which adds to the scare factor) with scariness a close second
What worries me about the silent hills demo is that it seems to rely too heavily on jumpscares instead of the writing/context and disturbing imagery providing the scares like silent hill used too
Since the scares aren't quite like they used too, the atmosphere is very haunted house-like, it's in 1'st person, and a good story has not been confirmed, this could be setting up for a disaster
Silent Hills is interesting and I imagine the final product will be pretty cool, but I doubt it will fell much like SH.
>>259300141
I play it for the writing and the psychological aspect.
>>259300675
The jumpscares are really cheap and shitty, I agree, but I still think it shows that they at least have an idea of what they're doing. It isn't subtle because they've got a hallway to work with and that's it, but they're at least paying attention to the basics. Lighting, grit, and the repetitive household sounds means the boxes are ticked. Every corner, there's something vaguely humanoid shaped sitting there in your peripheral vision.
Again, not subtle, not amazing, but at least they've got a clue.
>>259300675

>>259275859
Who says Silent Hills will be bad? We don't know squat about it aside from that Norman guy being in it.
And Kojima and Del Toro are hardly shitty. One's mediocre at best, the and the other has some pretty good original ideas at times
the plot seems to be more of a rip off of SH4 than all the other sequels, which were sort of based on SH2, which is something different at least. SH4 was shit, but the story was great.
I don't know how to feel about it, but still
>>259275859
Could be worse they could be Sonic fans.
OrHalf-Lifefans
>>259303021
Except it has been fucking confirmed that what was shown in p.t WON'T be in SHs at all. Half the reason it has jumpscares was to be like Slender and those other walking games, and to throw us off for the big surprise.
>>259302354
I guess I'll just be stuck to replaying silent hill 2 andfapping furiously
So is anyone else afraid this new SH will be another rip off of SH2?

sounds more like sh4 to me
>>259304248

>>259304248
Sweet, I'm all for haunting-type ghosts, but not those annoying invincible nigs
I hope the plot isn't some variant of "I murdered someone I love but i couldn't come to terms with it and the monsters are my guilt"
>>259303952
Well, there aren't any official credits out yet, but at least Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Torro
>>259304248
That's the plot of the demo, not the game.
Who knows, maybe you play as the fetus that was murdered.
>>259304893
This. I'd be fine if the guy has some skeletons in his closet, but has already accepted what he's done. Not like the town is out to make you own up to shit

It amazes me how /v/ is MGS dicksucker general. Just another testament to how bad /v/'s general taste is.
Someone once told me that the voice acting in SH2 was intentionally bad. Why was that?
I just wish Silent Hill was scary.
>>259305987
We don't fucking know, you're the one who made up the fact.
>>259305987
I feel that's overstating it a bit. I think the story is that in utilizing everyman characters like James, they got everyman kind of people to voice them. Not professional actors, just normal guys voicing normal people. They went into stupid levels of detail with SH2 and 3.
>>259305823
>any other horror game
After I typed it I realized that most sh protagonists are killers, but what if it was more like we saw played through the killings in a symbolic way, like the monsters were people, or we saw them as bad people, or by completing seemingly non-violent puzzles were actually killing people
Idk, just something different than the usual sh2 rehash please
also, why is your image a 45?
>>259305987
I thought mary and the little girl were the only good actors.
>>259276871
Visuals were neat, I liked the SH1 throwback when Rose first enters the nightmare world. And that's about it, the rest of the movie is garbage. They reduced the whole Cult story of SH1 into some church weirdos that burn witches.

not intentionally bad, but intentionally awkward

Eddie's was pretty good too. His slow descent into madness and insane ramblings in the meat locker room was great.
>>259305987
Did tom Hulett tell you that?
>>259306554that's not a 45
>>259307296
The subtle emotional touches were generally well done across the board. It's just that the acting itself was suspect. I'd say it was reasonably well directed in light of the lack of raw talent, and that the devs probably got what they desired out of the acting.

That was Mary Elizabeth and Tom Hulett shitting on everything Team Silent did. James was the only one I though sounded a bit weird at times, but Guy Cihi is not a professional voice actor, in fact he went into the auditions to audition his daughter for Laura's part and he ended up getting the role of James.
Ironically, the new HD voices are bad, and I don't think it was intentional. Troy Baker did a horrible job as James, but I mostly blame the director (Mary) for that. Still, I hate him for blaming Cihi with the whole royalties issue.
>>259308518
I think Troy and Mary both acted really unprofessional over the whole deal. I used to like them a lot but it really soured my opinion on the both of them after the shit they said.
>>259305930
This. This is the one thing I've never understood from /v/. The general gobbling of Kojima's meatstick (just because he doesn't give a fuck doesn't make him god), and the Metal Gear Solid fandom.
>>259302354
>what is pathologic
>>259309120
what is this game
>>259308518
They really tried too hard to emulate the old actors while being more "professional". If this had been the first game, it might have worked, since the acting in that was pretty corny. But SH and 3 are special cases since every scene was acted out with the actors themselves, THEN recorded, so their tones and shit were genuine.
>>259308823
Have to wonder how much of it was really them and what of it was Konami's money filled cum dripping from their mouths

Ehh, not for me really. I still play and enjoy the original 4 titles every once in a while. Sure, the later games are whatever, but they don't sour the original ones for me.
Actually tried speedrunning the first game recently. Got it down to like a bit over an hour. Wonder what the record is;
>35 minutes
I'm trash.
Silent Hill has been dead since 4, but I think Kojima can spice things up again..
>a really mediocre film that's after a pretty good film
>implying either of the films are good
They had very little to do with SH aside from a girl named Alessa. Did they even play SH or SH3? She wasn't evil, and certainly wasn't the devil or whatever the movie tried to convey.

I'd agree with OP. But I don't consider The Room as even being canon.
The series has been dead since SH3. The only thing that even resembled it's roots was Origins, bugs and all.
I don't have high hopes for this next installment, but I'm keeping an open mind in spite of myself. I guess I just miss Silent Hill.
>>259317031
>sh2babbys
>implying 80% of the fandom isn't sh2babbys
SH2fags are the worst fans, they all want every game to be another SH2, Tom Hullet is a hardcore SH2fag too and wanted the same thing with all his games. Think about that for a second.
Can Del Toro pull another piece of great work like Mimic or The Devil's Backbone?
Then again, who knows what exactly his involvement is? Might just be monster design, since he's known pretty well for his designs.
P.T. showed a bit of Lynch inspiration (albeit obvious). Blue Velvet was an inspiration to Silent Hill, so who knows? I'm a bit optimistic, but I can't feel an extreme emotion one way or the other until we see actually concepts and actual gameplay footage.
>>259317353
>liking SH2 makes you a fanbaby
Shitposters, plz
>>259317395
>Tom Hullet is a hardcore SH2fag too
Didn't he want to change the script of silent hill 2 and 3 for the HD collection, and talked about how both games weren't scary and had shitty combat and voice acting?
Bait harder fag
>>259316920
only played it for an hour, it's simple enough yet it constantly adds content / symbolism until you start to piece the story together. you might even say it's not that far from PT despite being nowhere near as bare bones.
>>259317395
SH2 epitomized SH for a lot of people. Just because it wasn't your ideal installment doesn't mean SH2 fans are comparable to Tom Hulett.
>>259317491
No, I meant the majority of a fandom can't be babbies for something. sorry
>>259276336
This. I like MGS, but I dislike Konami. Kinda hypocritical, but oh well.
>>259317726
He REALLY should post it online, since he's not with Konami anymore. I bet it's funny as hell, even if it's simple word changes.
Whoever has it should also release the original plot for Homecoming. Fucking asshole Tomm took it away from the world, and it could have been the funniest story ever.
>>259317758
Damn, really? Sounds neat. I gotta check it out soon.
>>259284431
This guy gets it. Mortal Kombat is the greatest video game film of all time.
>SH2 had good plot, but was a little forgettable
>SH3 was fucking gold
>SH4 had a great setting, but the plot was a little eeeeeh
Still my favorite horror franchise though
>>259318106
Someone should tweet tom asking for his edited script for sh2, not only would it get him a ton of shit if more people knew he wanted to change the script, but if he actually released it, I would fucking die of laughter
I don't have a twitter though...
>>259318854
What about 1?
Play 1 you fucking faggot.
>>259318936
Fuck it, I'll try.
>>259318985
Already did.
Failed a bit on creating an atmosphere in my opinion, though the plot was fine, and the gameplay worked.
Puzzles were great too.
Last boss fight was fucking shit though

Jesus Christ they can't do anything right.
I managed to beat it this week and bypass the glitch by toggling the audio around in the game but seriously, how can that shit fly?

Samefag here. He's denying it.
Welp, that's all the effort I can make.
>>259319318
I definitely agree on the final boss. If you have at least 1 ampoule, maybe like 2 health drinks or something and 8 rifle shells, you can literally stand still and mash fire until it dies.
Lizard guy actually required you to move since it had a 1-hit kill.
>>259319928
Dammit, post a screenshot m8
Denying to post it or denying that he wrote an alternate script?
>>259319443
Oh, my bad. Here.
I can just ask for a game to be made, right? I can dream, right?
>>259319928
After trying for like an hour and a half to kill the boss I said "fuck it" and emptied out all my ammo before the last fight, and waited for him to die on his own.
>>259320209
Quick, someone find that interview where McGlynn says he rewrote the SH2 script and how it was sooo amazing.
>>259320571
He's just going to say she's mistaken or something.
And Contra 5 will probably never exist. Now I'm depressed.
>>259320692
There's gotta be somewhere where he actually said it, Goddammit.
>>259320209
God what a fucking asshole
Well, Mary Elizabeth Mcglynn said he did:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G9xj1Ur-90
Mentions the script: 1:40
2:40 "Tom wrote a whole new script so that it would sink in great and really, not change the context at all, just finesse the motion capture and pacing of things, make it a little more natural."
>>259321357
Couldn't hurt to mention this, twitterdude.
>>259321357
This thread is fucking golden
I just noticed this but wasn't the Void from Downpour rip off the Silent Hill 3 Haunted Mansion part where the same thing happens?
>>259324727
probably
>>259324727
No because Downpour should be regarded on its own merit and anyone who says otherwise is just a fanboy hater who wasn't willing to give it a chance in the first place, says out lord and savior Tomm AKA the literal dickhead.
