There's no Halloween in Silent Hill!

Redeemer

Rose and Chris in lieu of Maria and James would be the most terrible thing ever oh my god, cj

cj iwakura

Well, it is. Husband goes looking for his missing wife, chaos ensues.


Sure, it's a poor substitute, but the potential's there.

Redeemer

But what's the big pay off at the end?

We all know what James did to Mary, but Chris did nothing of the sort to Rose

cj iwakura

That we know of

Phonehand

Except that James was looking for his dead wife

Phonehand

this comes out like next week shiiiiit

the movie left her effectively dead

and god getting those voicemails would creep me the fuck out

Redeemer

But the whole point of the story is

James' guilt over killing his wife

Superficially imposing Chris and Rose into those roles would be incredibly lame

Redeemer

New story and new characters please

Rose and Sharon and Chris are done

cj iwakura

Wasn't the going rumor that Chris was returning for the sequel? If so, it's pretty obvious what they've got in mind.

If not though, new story works fine by me. I still think they could pull off a fairly good SH2 adaptation with Chris and Rose if a halfway decent writer pens it.


Maybe she's not dead like Maria, but they could still use similar themes. Haunted by aspects of their relationship that he's forgotten about.

Weaver

But deemer that lady that played Rose is incredibly hot and I want to bone here while she's dressed as Rose & all dirty-like

Phonehand

I like Sean Bean and feel that he is the only reason I might want his character written in to the sequel

cj iwakura

Besides, it's more likely to be successful if they use the actors people recognize from the first.

(And the first did really well, surprisingly)

Redeemer

I don't think the sequel needs actors from the first

It'll do well if it's marketed as effectively as the first movie

cj iwakura

Well, if not SH2 direct, what's the alternative? An original story? SH3?

Neither would end well. If they call the film Silent Hill 2, only fair they try to adapt the game most people consider the definitive Silent Hill experience(even if for me, that's SH3).

Phonehand

I never thought they had a hard time replicating the environment in the first movie. It just had a messy story.

DarkPrimus

The director wrote the script himself. I think he's a great director, but I think he can't write very well, especially not when he writes it in his native language then has it translated to English...

cj iwakura

It was probably the most accurate recreation of a game ever as presentation goes.

The story was still good, it just had some awful segments. Namely the entire opening, which supposedly was only added in post because the average audience are idiots and starting with Rose and Cheryl in a van wasn't exposition enough.

Phonehand

the church was dumb and needed to not be there

cj iwakura

But then you don't get to see the Borg Queen impaled seventy ways from Sunday.

Phonehand

it was fine but probably did not fit in a silent hill movie

Clint Eastwood

I liked the movie. The story was kind of hackneyed but the atmosphere was perfect, the Janitor was fucking horrifying, and Pyramid Head skinned a lady. Oh and the shish kebob wire scene was pretty gross.

I wouldn't go out of my way to see it again but I can't think of any game adaptions that got as much stuff right as Silent Hill.

Weaver

Clint Eastwood

...that was another thing I liked about the movie.

Oh, and the Johnny Cash song? Class.

cj iwakura

The score was also really good, for not being Yamaoka's.

And the inclusion of You're Not Here at the end was perfect.

Burden of Proof

this was a pretty underrated movie guys.

Captain K

I dunno if you guys have ever seen "Tideland" but the young girl acts her ass off in that movie and it was kind of depressing to see her in Silent Hill


which I couldn't force myself to finish--gave up on it about halfway through

Redeemer

Well that's where the movie stopped being good, incidentally

Burden of Proof

The movie was good up until the reveal about the girl. Everything else was dandy and geniunely captured the look of the games I've never played or seen played.

Lawlzor

I hope there’s an alternative dog ending

Best TOTP

TheBlackWind

Shit, this is out like, Tuesday?

Newtron

fffffffffffuuuuuuck!

I had no idea this was being released! fuck me!

I still play silent hill 2 and one on occasion.

This series is so great, I hope this new one isn't doing anything too new or different.

fuck, I gotta subscribe to rss feeds or whatever they are.

Phonehand

if they don't screw this up i will be proud of my country for the first time ever

mrpaku

i don't have a ps3 yet, but i'm considering renting/stealing one for this game

Redeemer

I was wondering when you'd show up

You don't have a 360 either?

cj iwakura

Isn't it PS3 exclusive?

mrpaku

nope!

furthermore, i don't know anyone with either system, and i'll be too poor to buy it myself for like...six months

it kind of sucks

Nogs

so i don't have a 360 or a ps3, but i really want to play this.

says the PC version is coming out on steam, but I'm searching steam right now, and i can't find it in the coming soon section or anything.

cj iwakura

PC versions never end well, and I don't have enough faith in the new team to risk it.

scarlet st.

This game looks pretty great. The graphics look pretty shitty in a couple respects - it's like nobody has any emotion on their faces.
