    Seconded, I'm always down for Silent Hill music.


    Nice interview. If Yamaoka has faith in the project, that's a good start.


    Also, check out some of the music he's done for Beatmania, like Space Fight, Lion Suki, and Rislim.

    Completely different from the tracks he composed for SH, but still excellent.

    Silent Hill 4 is underrated.

    Hint: It's the only scary one.

    The scariest moment in all four games is the fun house in Silent Hill 3.

    Red hallway of death.

    If its one series I desperately hope they never give the final fantasy treatment, its silent hill.

    but FUCK it looks so like they are doing that.

    right after you fight the worm, and you're trying to make your way back to the hospital

    and there's no guard rails and big chunks missing out of the steel walkways and the ptyerodactyl monsters are larger somehow and oh god did that ape-thing make a human sound what the fuck is going on

    I was flipping through the guide for this at work today and I noticed in the art section that the cop character seems to have been modeled after Forest Whitaker

    Also Pyramid Head is going by another name here?

    Why am I not surprised?

    Every Silent Hill game uses the movie logo, which is practically the trend for games that get popular movie adaptations.

    Buried within this rather obvious dissection of survival horror trends, the author notes that Homecoming, in his time playing it, has been pretty good

    Though now that we know
    the crazy movie cultists are a part of it, I'm not so sure. Hopefully they'll be used sparingly and intelligently, unlike the film

    I thought the film was a really good adaptation.

    And usually the word 'adaptation' is used loosely in other video game movies

    I picked up the PS2 port of Origins a while ago, and have been playing the shit out of it unlocking all of the different endings and accolades. I only have a few more to unlock, but of the ones I have gotten, the Butcher accolade is my favorite so far, with Travis
    realising that he just went through the town murdering innocent people for the last four and a half hours. Also, the sewn skinsuit you get is pretty amusing

    The Butcher himself was a lame PH ripoff, and fighting him pretty much turned into "run to a corner and shoot, run to a corner and shoot" while he slowly tromps around the table.

    Also Jesus Christ, I'm used to playing through half of a Silent Hill game with nothing better than a wooden plank or a steel pipe to defend myself from the monsters running around, and now I'm getting Shotguns and AK-47s and Magnums? I liked it all in all, although it was considerably more gung-ho action then what I would consider a traditional Silent Hill game.

    THe only ones I haven't played are 3 and 4, but tracking down any Silent Hill game after the movie (and now that Homecoming is nearly released) has become ridiculously hard in my area. I haven't even seen either a PS2 or an Xbox copy in quite a while.

    A side note on Silent Hill 2, the original SH2 came out on the PS2, and then was later re-released as Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams, which had all of the extras from the Xbox version, so if you're trying to track down a copy and you only have a PS2, look for that one.

    Some things bothered me about it that I didn't know before.
    it seems that it does not take place in silent hill again which i don't know if that is just general knowledge at this point
    there also looks to be a ton of npcs which seems to facilitate the matter of the cultists
    pyramid head is a popular legend in the town?
    I'll still buy it

    I thought
    The first half of it took place in Shepherd's Glen, and the second half went back to Silent Hill. I swore I read an interview like that. But now it's not gonna be in SH at all?

    I'm still buying it too, but :|

    That may be right, I didn't glance over the second half of the guide at all for fear of spoilers. I just didn't see any mention of it in the stuff I read. So I guess then it would be similar to SH3.

    Fry's usually has a ton of PC copies of 2 and 3 for $10 or so, if you wanna try that

    The audio kept getting off-sync on the PC version of SH2 for me, but I'm not sure if I can attribute that to my crappy laptop or not

    I'm having a hard time finding a picture of this cop. I know that Team Silent always had real world inspiration for the characters, I just thought this one was particularly funny.

    I know the cop you're talking about, and I thought the same thing the instant I saw him. He's on the ad in the first page of this month's OPM (or PTOM I guess they're called now) magazine.

    Girlfriend is a huge silent hill fan. She's actually played and beaten them all, I've never played any of them. But since we don't have a 360 or ps3, we are gonna play silent hill 4.

    right.
