First Time Playing Silent Hill And It's Scary -part 1-

[@TheAutistWhisperer]

I've always preferred Silent Hill over Resident Evil. The horror elements really gets into the human psyche and how terrifying it can be.

[@derp9193]

I think Silent Hill is scarier and it has a much cooler premise, but Resident Evil just plays so much better imo. Even though the layout of the controls are pretty similar, Resident Evil controls feel pretty fluid, while Silent Hill feels a bit stiff. In terms of horror, though, Silent Hill is much better.

[@Angel43189]

Also, the way it can make you have a feeling of being afraid WITHOUT JUMPSCARES, only using world building and sound design.

[@doualadaliso9676]

@@Angel43189 I think it's called 'Hokuto Shinken' I can't really explain it but just like AutistWhisperer said, it's the horror elements that get into the psyche

[@earvindinoso7689]

@@derp9193 This. I would add, though, the clunkiness of Silent Hill definitely adds to the terror factor of the game.

I like two so silent hill and ressident evil great games

[@rosco-m]

“Fear of blood tends to create fear for the flesh.” That opening quote is forever ingrained in my brain. It just immediately sets the tone for the entire game and gets under your skin (or flesh 😉)

[@jonissues1914]

I always feel that Silent Hill 2 and 3 always gets all the love, but 1 obviously deserves it too, my favourite of them all.

[@markwheeler4245]

With all the horsepower today we still don’t see games as atmospheric and oppressing as this series earlier games! Love how there’s no arrows highlighting everything to pick up u actually have to look yourself and check things, today we get our screens cluttered with information were told where, how far, what can be interacted with etc it’s all immersion breaking stuff especially in horror games, Dead Space was good for its minimalist HUD design it was mint :) looking forward to the remake I wish we were getting a new Silent Hill though!

[@djgabucay]

That's what makes old games unique because just like real life there's nothing popping up to told you what to do its either you go there and try it or die.

[@arneboom]

Completely agree, UI's and hints telling you what to do take away a lot of experience and immersion

[@dabegmister]

this game terrified me when I was young. me,my bestfriend ,my sister and her bestfriend would get together at night and play this game. the girls took notes and me and my buddy took turns. we would switch when the stress became to much lol

[@MattKittredge2112]

I recently introduced my 11-year-old to this game, and he said to me “How does such an old game with old graphics STILL happen to be so scary??” The genius of Konami, son. THAT’S how. 😉

[@kennedyshotfirst2534]

Something about these low poly graphics does it to me. I think it's because the graphics don't really spell things out to you, because it's just not detailed enough, therefore tapping into the fear of the unknown.

[@satyakisil4289]

Well, in this case bad graphics can make a game more unsettling by taking away the clarity. The game revolves around the physical manifestation of a nightmare. The more bizzare it is the better.

[@notsosafeforwork3729]

Genius of "Team Silent", you mean. Konami actually wanted this to be a very different game to contend with the success of Resident Evil at the time. Team Silent fought for their own vision until, ultimately, they succeeded. Konami itself is no genius, just that they've been insidious since way back when.

[@Anders010]

The audio. Graphics look more outdated with each new console gen but good audio is eternal. SH1 industrial OST is like something made by John Carpenter.

[@farerawei2469]

yeah Konami,Squaresoft and even EA games used to make lots of good games back then,now i can't really say what are they doing anymore.

[@warl0ck2]

I smiled when you whipped out your phone to take a pic of that written clue. I just find it hilarious that gamers now have that convenience while in my time we didn't. I couldn't even be bothered to write that down. I love you playing the old games, this one in particular is one of my faves. 😁

[@Greenwood4727]

Eee these young gamers, using technology back in my day we used pen and paper and was grateful for it (joke).. i am that old actually. and now i do take screen shots of certain puzzles

[@genericsavings]

Kind of impressed that she didn’t ask for the solution & naturally figured it out on her own. Modern games don’t do puzzles like this anymore.

[@datatsushi2016]

The booklets/instruction manuals that came with the games always had a few blank pages in the back for notes. Pure nostalgia seeing what your 10yo self wrote and drew on those pages.

[@pyramidhead79]

Probably one of the best horror games of all time SH1-4 they don't make games like these anymore and it's always been the atmosphere that's creepy it makes you really feel claustrophobic in such a big open space and I feel like these games hold up really well.

[@-MaxMax]

Just try 'Tormented Souls' , it's pretty new and amazing.

[@reese8050]

Yeah, SH 2 is fucking good. Though.

[@TheMarrowMan]

I still have my original 1999 Black Label PS1 copy of this game, and still play it occasionally. Your reactions are nearly identical to how mine were the first time I played this in 1999. Many lols.

[@satyakisil4289]

Even today the intro alone is enough to get people sold to the game.

[@redhot9503]

I love the whole Silent Hill series

[@LongNguyen-qg8yj]

one of the GOAT horror games tbh.

[@Grandmastergav86]

Envious of anyone experiencing this series for the first time, it's so damn cool. SH 1,2 & 4 are my personal favourites, 3 isn't bad by any stretch. This initial SH entries and Resi 1-3 represent the Golden Era of Survival Horror IMO. I love tank controls/fixed camera angles, it allows the devs to paint a beautifully macabre picture, removing control enhances the player's discomfort plus it allows for some awesome angles.

[@weldrodson]

That's really interesting from most people opinions silent 3 is one of the bests and 4 is the worse of the original 4

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

That intro gets me everytime, I used to watch the whole thing every time I booted up the game.

[@kailee87]

They're called a Larval Stalker. I've watched a bunch of playthroughs of this game and every single person is completely confused by them, as I was when I first played it.

[@angelwolfplays6456]

The dev team were a bunch of Konami employees who were almost fired. They called themselves Team Silent and made games 1 through 4. This is such a treat to see again through younger eyes. This was one of the first games that actually gave me nightmares. Now I just speedrun it every few years or so.

[@artcrime2999]

If you ever play this again, the trick with the flashlight is to have it off when you enter a new room, and if you hear the radio you keep it off and walk, not run; through the room and out the other end. The monsters wont become alerted until then unless you bump into one. The little dolls with knives make a distinct sound when they see you. the little "ooohhuhhhhAHHH" noise. The clock puzzle is alluded to in the reception area, first you have to do the fist puzzle and put the sun into the tower. That advances the time to the hour the reception area says is for the music room. Thats why the piano was locked when you first entered. After you put both sun and moon into the clock you are then told to turn on the boiler in so many words.

[@alucardmaetheius7903]

I dont know why your video appeared on my suggestions (maybe cus i was listening to the soundtrack while working) but im glad it did, its nice to see a newcomer to the series, loved your gameplay and reactions, reminded me of myi own when i first played this back on the days, i subcribed now, cant wait to see the next one.

[@zeukrob]

It is such a good game that more than 20 years after playing it for the first time, I have never remembered its graphic quality; what made an impression on me was the quality of its argument, its compelling story, the fear it produced. I got to sleep with the light on because of the trauma, to feel panic to cross a dark corridor to get to my bedroom. I never felt that again with a game, maybe a little with Fatal Frame.

yup it's dangerous to go alone take this, the timeline is 1983 so guns back then we're not an issue and most people are sane enough to use one, small towns cops can deputize any person if there is a reasonable situation.

[@TheTrveMothlord]

A lot of people never realize there is a search camera and Silent Hill is not a true fixed camera title. The function positions the camera behind you while doing things and also lets you move it somewhat too, so Silent Hill only sometimes forces you into solidly fixed angles. It's funny seeing people play this getting angry because they are running around blindly not realizing the devs did give a tool to move the camera. Obviously if you played it back in the day you'd read the manual to see those controls though, haha.

[@personman1148]

When I first bought this game, it was by complete accident: It was whilst looking for a game of trying to escape a town (which I think now was actually _Harvester_) that I mistook _Silent Hill_ for that. Gaming-wise, this was the best mistake I ever made; not knowing s**t about it made it like playing an absolute nightmare, which was great!

I really love how characters interact in SH 1 and SH 2, I heard the developers made them weird or odd on purpose. It was to show the strangeness of Silent Hill. I've never really paid attention to it, but rewatching some scenes was pretty nice. This whole game is art.

You're correct in that. The actors for SH1 were specifically asked to put awkward pauses in their line readings that were then edited out later. This made it impossible for the actors to make a natural flow for the dialogue.

This is still the scariest game of all time to me. It fucked with my head. The game uses repitition and familiarity to pull the rug out from underneath you and mess with you. The things you start to get used to end up scaring you the most. Sounds that never bothered you end up becoming terrifying. Rooms that you had no problem walking into become almost like a phobia because something starts to unnerve you about it. At times you swear things are changing, but…are they? That feeling of unease and uncertainty really gets inside your head. Everything looks old and worn, people speak like they don’t understand the English language, everything has a dreamy nightmarish feel to it. The entire game is uncanny valley turned up to 11. Resident Evil has nothing on this game. The only RE game I find truly scary is 7 (but 1 remake is also pretty scary).
