That town... there's something wrong with that town...

Indigo Prophecy would have been awesome if the game ended at the carnival. You know, after you fall to your death.

Then you could have a little after-credits thing about how the police don't find a body and it can say "To Be Continued" or whatever and they could make a sequel that hopefully wasn't shit.

The ending in Homecoming, where

Spoiler:

the two pyramid heads bolt the helmet over your head and then you ARE the pyramid head

.

I liked that one.

But apparently Indigo Prophecy was awesome until they shat all over the story. What I've seen of Heavy Rain looks fantastic, Orik played some at PAX and loved it. Maybe they learned their lesson.

Grey Ghost

I did like that in the one ending of Indigo Prophecy, if the Illuminati-esque organization learns the secret of life, the universe and everything, nothing changes because they already run everything, so all the protagonists are left with this sort of "well, that's that I guess"

mrpaku

my favorite part is when the girl cop who's been tracking the killer for the whole game sleeps with him for no apparent reason

i also enjoyed ruining the poor black cop's life, just for the hell of it

Also keep in mind that at the time she has sex with him he is a walking corpse

I'm about to head home, but I can't leave before posting what I have to post in every Silent Hill thread:

mrpaku

ha! i'd almost forgotten that part! classic

seriously, it's like the writers spent months and months mapping out this elaborate mystery drama, then got loaded and forgot to write an ending until five minutes before the fucking thing was due

edit: god bless you, redeemer <3

Grey Ghost

That's brilliant

Also I kinda want to reinstall Indigo now and play up to the scene at the fairground and then quit and imagine that's the end of the game

mrpaku

i've thought Silent Hill 1 should get a remake for years, but to be honest this game looks terrible to me

i don't like the no-combat, i don't like the generic looking enemies, i don't like the apparent plot changes, and i don't like that it's on the Wii

i also don't like that Akira Yamaoka is done with the series, and think it's probably a sign that i'm done with it as well

Man, I thought you were gone or something.


Replaying Silent Hill 2(Restless Dreams, Xbox), and I still suck at the puzzles.

How have I never seen that video?

Man, what about that Fatal Frame for the Wii?
That sounded badass when I first heard about it

Rumor has it that it's not being localized because it's a buggy mess, which makes me less bitter about not having it in the states.

Totally not exaggerating! This is the only enemy you encounter:



They grow breasts or something if you say yes to "I stare at titties" or whatever during the psych evaluation at the start. But their attack patterns stay the same regardless, according to IGN's review

...these graphics look almost the same as REmake and not as good as RE4. What the hell?

cj iwakura

I'm getting less and less interested in Shattered Memories as time goes on.

Artreus

Also who the hell thought one enemy for the whole game was a good idea. No variation at all is terrible

Nuzak

but

they grow boobies

Synthetic Orange

It doesnt matter because you cant fight them either.

Kazhiim

I'm a silent hill enemy!

tsplitter

i hope the Splatterhouse remake is ok

Futore

okay, i'm open to buying for PS2 or xbox 360 or xbox. what horror games should I get?

i've never done much of them and my roommate loves them so i'd like to game it up with her

lostwords

you can probably get the fatal frame games on the ps2 for supercheap

cj iwakura

Fatal Frame 2 costs $39.99 used at GameStop, so it's not exactly common.

I have the Xbox versions, which might be easier to get?

Weaver

watching the movie

Anna about to get her skin tore off

Redeemer

I remember about a year before the movie was released, they showed a clip of that scene at Wondercon, and somebody leaked it online. I found it terrifying and even kind of upsetting, I still do

Christophe Gans' secret war on women

cj iwakura

Roger Avary is writing the sequel in jail.

Expect lots of prisons.

Redeemer

Roger Avary is still penning it? I was hoping his imprisonment would have put an embargo on his terrible writing. Though I guess it really depends on the director they hire

I also wish the rumour that Neil Gaiman was writing it would have turned out to be true

cj iwakura

A good director could still save us from that. I guess Gans didn't speak English fluently enough to know how bad SH1's script was. Still a good movie, but some of the dialogue was just plain awful.

Hoommmmmmeeeee

Silent HillLllllll

CorporateLogo

Why would Neil Gaiman want to associate himself with the trainwreck that was the first movie

cj iwakura

The music was also pretty good, for not being Yamaoka. And it used You're Not Here in the end credits. <3


The ending was perfect.

Fuck writing a script, he should go to Silent Hill for real.

the atmosphere and environment in the first half of the movie was one of the most interesting i've seen for a horror film in a long, long time

Oh the film was atmospheric as hell.

But the dialogue, acting, etc. was terrible.

So for Heavy Rain, does the beginning tutorial have the developer of the game talk about how awesome his game is before telling you how to play?
