Began to play a week ago Homecoming ,and though it's kinda buggy in parts, I feel it's ok. Though this is the first SH I play. Also, how's Shattered Memories?Also, fucking needlers.
>>87093>If they pulled from Silent Hill 2, I'd at least like them to keep the places in mind. Has time passed? Any places torn down or replaced? The last time we could really explore the place, it had a Laserdisk store and the price of gas at the gas station pretty much said "1970s."The next game may not take place in Silent Hill.>Commentary published by Konami has stated that the power of Silent Hill has "intensified greatly" since the events of the first game.[13] While the first, second, and prequel games featured protagonists who were drawn into Silent Hill, in the third, fourth and fifth games, the Otherworld has reached out to people in nearby towns of Ashfield, Portland and Shepherd's Glen.
>>87264That was always because of folks directly involved/connected to Silent Hill though...hell, SH 4 happened because someone recreated SH cult rituals in his own bizarre insane way after growing up in a Silent Hill orphanage, no?
I love the hospitalsI love foggy streetsI love the sirenI love the walls of meatI love the whole townAnd all its sights and soundsBoom de yada, boom de yadaBoom de yada, boom de yadaI love Toluca LakeI love the blood and rustI love the flashlightsI love James's lustI love the whole townAnd all its crazinessBoom de yada, boom de yadaBoom de yada, boom de yadaI love broken locksI love ValtielI love the lighthouseI love this personal hellI love Silent HillIt's such a scary placeBoom de yada, boom de yadaBoom de yada, boom de yada
>>87264I am okay with this. But then, I'm one of those faggots that theorize that the crazy and the power of location has to do with where people use the power and how often. The cult has been spreading outwards from Silent Hill, giving the 'town' and the malevolent entities residing there more 'wiggle room.'A Silent Hill game taking place in an adjacent town or further is not a bad thing. Could be fun.

My knowledge of Silent Hill is entirely secondary, so I'm curious: In the OP picture, who are the old shirtless guy, the injured woman, the little girl next to the alien, the purple thing by Heather's feet, and the female police officer?Also why is the dog piloting that robot?
>>87651I haven't played it either, but I know the "dog in the robot" (which is pyramid head) is a reference to Silent Hill 2 where one of the endings is that everything was caused by a dog at a control panel.
>>87651Shirtless old guy is the detective you meet at the start of 3. Normally he has an undershirt, but I think in a new game + of 3 he shows up in his underwear wearing only his coat, tie and hat.Injured woman is the girl next door to the main character in 4. Little girl next to the alien is the child you occasionally see in 2.Purple thing is one of the first monsters you encounter in 3. Female police officer is Cybil from 1.

Typewriter and/or filing cabinet is fun to use if you're a disgruntled paper pusher.
Travis is the only protagonist thus far with a real, proven job. (Which, really, is damn attractive.) Why is this??
>>88757Weren't Henry and James a writer and a clerk?
>>88758Harry is a writer. James is a clerk. Henry is unknown but is guessed to be a photographer.If you count the side characters then there's more people with jobs.
>>88759And Harry's job even came into the plot somewhat, with the notepads as save points. But I like to think the game developers didn't want to define the characters as their jobs, so it never came up much. It was also fun to meet them as blank slates (especially James) and then have to figure them out as the plot unfolds.
>>88759Shit, I plum FORGOT about that... I really need to go back and replay the earlier games!
Travis is fucking attractive because he actually FIGHTS what he sees, making him the most fun to play of all Silent Hill characters....though granted trying to fight all of the monsters is a gigantic bad idea, but still.
>>88783More attractive than this handsome bastard?
>>88783This is what happens when a redneck trucker gets drawn to Silent Hill. Writers, grocery baggers, voyeurs and LEETLE GURLS do not punch horror in the face with the fury bestowed by rotten teeth and overdosage on No-Doze.I'm hoping the convict will be a similar monster. Not because Silent Hill play mechanics need to be like brawler mechanics, but because the idea the more violent the individual the more options they have in combat situations fits with the narrative better.
>>88784Yes.>>88785Absolutely, with Travis it fit so well, because you were thinking "Huh, this guy doesn't seem like a jerk, but this is Silent Hill so there must be something." And the first encounter is when you understand, he violent, he sees a woman who looks ill and menacing, a Nurse, his first thought isn't "WHAT'S WRONG WITH HER? WHY WON'T SHE LISTEN?" It's, "Huh, guess I'll just bash her head in with a Sledge Hammer" We see him think about it and we complete the action ourselves, it's a hell of an introduction to Travis' personality. and the best twist is that Travis really IS a nice guy through and through....his other side however....

SUDDENLYYou find yourself in Silent Hill.Monsters everywhere. Thick fog. Filthy bathrooms.You're armed with a radio, a steel pipe, and an inability to simply kick down doors with broken locksHere's the question, /cog/: when you venture out into the fog and the dark, what will you see?
>>90055Probably this.
>>90057
>>90055Remember these things from Peter Jackson's take on King Kong? Yeah...Also, horse-things as drawn by Stephen Gammel, frothing at the mouth, shrieking, and shambling around on broken legs.
>>90057Damn, and i was looking forward to sleeping for the next all of my life
>>90061I've seen that thing in a cartoon, but I cannot remember where.
>>90415
>>90420That was me.Heh. Look at that. Same picture.
>>90415You might be thinking of >>90057 which is from a cartoon (Courage the Cowardly Dog).
>>90421>>90428Noooo I've actually seen something like that somewhere..its right on the tip of my memory.

>>90635I was glad she died, she was actually a bitch.
>>90665I'm assuming not, but it sounds like you've never had a friend or family member who was dieing/died of a terminal, disfiguring illness.
>>90665
>>90665>dying slowly with no hope of recovery>confined to a bed and loaded with drugs that kept her alive but miserable and prone to violent mood swings>forced to deal with physical disfigurement/agony, impending death, and a disintegrating marriage ALL AT ONCE>letter implies that she truly loved her husband and wanted him to move on and be happy again>she was actually a bitchI don't think you played Silent Hill 2.
