I keep thinking this same thing, but to be fair Pat inadvertently contradicts himself here by saying stuff like "the town has clearly moved on from the events of Silent Hill 1 even though there's still no one there," implying that the foggy, empty hellscape of Silent Hill 1 was the de facto state of the town, and that it somehow became a normal town afterwards... which is the opposite of what he's tells Matt literally seconds later. So while Matt really has no excuse for repeating the same question on at least four different occasions (you'd think he'd just look it up by now), Pat isn't helping by giving different (and sometimes wildly incorrect) answers each time.

He shits on SH4 for the one thing I do not care about in a SH game, the mechanics. If the worst thing you can say about an art gallery is that the doors are a little stiff, then you've failed at appreciating what an art gallery is for. I hate to say it, but Pat has lost his sense of SH appreciation, to the point where he'd commit the ultimate sin and even say an American version were better, blasphemy. SH4 was the second best of all of them, SH2 being unbeatable, 1 was garbage, you literally fought a fire throwing baphoment demon at the end, its only redeeming thing was it introduced the rust world idea. 3's mistake was trying to redo 1's story with a different protagonist. 4 got everything about SH that makes it good, the story did involve the cult, but made it interesting at last, the aesthetics were great, atmosphere great, monsters great, everything. And all Pat can do is sit here and eat pizza! ... I mean all Pat can do is sit here and judge the controls, like some pedant walking into an opera and complaining that the windows in the bathroom don't open the whole way. I wouldn't care how bad the controls are SH4, it's not the reason I play a SH game. SH2 > SH4 > SH3 > SH1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> American shit

Pat blows a few of his points out of proportion, probably to make the game sound worse than it is since he hates it so much. There's only one cursed item that causes a haunting in your item box and if you take it (you can decline to) then it's sort of your fault for accepting a handout from the game's villain. And yes, later on your apartment stops being a safe area and regen-ing your health because plot, but you only get damaged if you're dumb enough to stand next to an active haunting which can sometimes be in an inconvenient spot like right next to the save point or the bed, but the game gives you enough holy candles and saint's medallions to purge the ones in areas you need to pass by frequently and they don't come back once purged. The escort mission crap is all valid to complain about though, fuck that.

I think the gameplay was alright, but I felt like the story didn't hold up properly in the third act and going back over the same levels was boring. I also think the developers should have _done_ something with Eileen. Maybe have her and Henry separated so she wouldn't just be a tagalong character who mostly just got left in random rooms until we could make a mad dash to the exit. Also, a little thing, but Eileen talks to Henry a lot in that last bit of the game, but Henry doesn't / can't say anything back. Why wouldn't they use that to add a bit of character development?
@RaineV18 жыл бұрын
Master Markus Yeah, it would have been great if Henry got a bit more characterization in those moments. That was the perfect chance. I think they wanted him to be like a blank slate so that the player insert themselves into him, but it didn't work well in this case.
@mastermarkus53078 жыл бұрын
RaineV1 No, it didn't! I say you can blank slate some characters, like Link in the Legend of Zelda or something with a generally simpler storyline (say one where the character is the "chosen one" or isn't very personally emotionally invested in the other characters) but it's always better not to in games like Silent Hill, because it takes away a lot of character motivation. There's also a weird mix of Henry being a "blank slate" (see the times he _doesn't_ respond to things) and also a character who seems to be a bit awkward, shy, and maybe neurotic (see almost every character interaction, the fact that Eileen, his very friendly, evidently outgoing, neighbour has no idea who he is, etc.) Also, this is just my personal idea, but I do think there could be an interesting contrast between Henry and Walter in that both were lonely people, but while Walter came to hate the world, Henry simply avoided it, and through the events of the game starts getting more confident in facing it. Of course, Walter was abused as a kid and... well, we are given no idea as to what Henry's early life was like, but there's still a connection that could be made if the plot was filled out as such.

Downpour suffered through dull enemy design and, partly by extension, not being actually scary. I have only seen this channel's playthrough, and even with Matt throwing his toys out of the pram could tell that the story was really well thought out. A horror game really does need to contain horror though so I can entirely see the disappointment. Now, Homecoming is bad in a whole raft of different ways. Like to the point of souring the whole franchise bad.
@rosenrot2348 жыл бұрын
Shieldwall100 Homecoming felt like it was made with a lot of heart but not with a lot of intellect. It's more depressing instead of scary. Considering the whole sacrificing children thing. Or treating the sacrificed chosen kid like trash so that they don't expect much joy out of life. Because if they're happy it makes killing them harder I guess. Well the Shepard family did this anyway. I don't think the other parents treated their chosen kids like trash. Scarlet got pretty much whatever she wanted and her father basically broke having to go through dismembering her. The monsters were pretty cool at least.

When Laura arrives there in SH2 it's still deserted for her as well, even though she wasn't stuck in the otherworld like James and Eddie were. SH3 also has some notes telling that the town has pretty much been abbandoned and there were only the remaining cult followers which significantly dropped in numbers. It's basically a ghost town after the events of the first game and Alessa's powers still influence its area

And the escort mission, as far as escort missions go is pretty easy. Sure tedious at times, like the subway escalator, but it is very few and far between. Healing her through the candles prior to the final boss fight actually kinda trivializes the threat of her getting hurt throughout the game. I guess going back and replaying the same levels in the second half is lame. But the levels are *really* short. Ironically as far as how much time to spend on each level if you combine the same levels from the first and second half the game (e.g. subway level from the first half combines with the subway from the second). You'd get a normal length level.

I played every one of the classic Silent Hill games as they were released and I loved SH4, it wasn't until recently that I found out it's considered to be a bad game. It's definitely the weakest of the four games but it's by no means "bad" and the criticism that its not SH2 or SH3 is a pretty dumb piece of criticism. Team Silent tried something different and create a less linear experience then the other SH games, SH4 has dozen of unique scary moments that can take multiple play throughs to experience. The American SH games are laughably bad as they are made by people who don't understand the series and took more inspiration from the SH movies than it did the SH games, so criticism that they are nothing like classic SH is warranted but SH4 is a Team Silent game.

I played it several times to get the different endings. I really liked how weird and just plain eerie it was, especially the room's hauntings. Also the shit you could see when you looked through the windows long enough (Walter pointing at you from the other building, the Robbie hot air balloon, the severed head).

It feels a lot like a game where production time had to be cut short, but I don't know the backstory behind it, so I can't say that that WAS the case.

I don't think SH4: The Room necessarily implies that SH2's 'In Water' ending is the canon one. All it alludes to is that James' father hasn't seen him or Mary since SH2. Considering that, if James decided to live on after facing his demons in 'Leave', potentially becoming a guardian to Laura, he'd be wanted for kidnapping and murder. He wouldn't rush back to a place he used to live where police are likely looking for him. Plus, if 'Maria' is canon, he likely just stays lost in the Fog World forever. Again, his father would never see him again.

Silent Hill 4 is one of my favorites, right below 2. I don't get the hate for this game. It is a huge risk and I think it pays off. The only parts of the game that I agree are not good is the escalator room (which can be a bitch to get through), the inventory system is garbage, and the part where you have to back track through (which only takes 20 minutes so I don't really see it being a huge issue) is slightly annoying. Otherwise the music is the best in the series, the psychological horror is different and interesting, the combat is much better, and I just love the claustrophobic atmosphere the game has. Definitely one of my favorite horror games.
@GreenGimmick8 жыл бұрын
Cause SH4 is where it became clear that the people at Konami didn't give a damn about the series. There was no huge risk, this was the opposite of risk, this was risk aversion. They forced the developers to slap the name Silent Hill on a unrelated game and then had to come up with the convoluted and shoehorned connections to the previous games possible. Walter Sullivan is the clearest example of this, but name dropping Dahlia and Hope House were pretty bad too. Frank Sunderland being James father was pretty awful too. Almost all of the tone and atmosphere of previous games is gone. Combat is absolutely worse in every way, including pretty much nonexistent gun play. Which only further illustrated how awful the monsters were. The patients were laughably terrible, and the twin heads, despite being the most interesting design, were just as ineffective.
@yersiniopestis25538 жыл бұрын
GreenGimmick They took a ton of risks. Instead of wandering around silent hill lets put you in a tiny room that will act as a hub, adding a strange sense of claustrophobia, a locked room scenario, a sense of perversion and uncomfortable solitude as you watch other characters from afar, and a horrible feeling of being trapped (not to mention doing what anatomy did far before it was ever released by making homes feel unsafe). Later on lets subvert the players expectations by making the hub a death trap where now no where in the game is safe. Instead of a character study of a singular protagonist, lets build up the antagonist and the other characters and make the protagonist a vessel for the player to experience the terrible things around him. Lets add full 3d movement, non breakable weapons, ammo management (which was admittedly not great because of the interesting but very poorly implemented inventory management system), remove the flashlight and rely on lighting to set the tone for each area. Lets add dark souls esqe short cuts and the ability to save much more frequently because of said short cuts. Lets add monsters that cannot be killed only pinned by extremely rare sword items that pin them and that are retrievable adding a layer of item management and suspense as you go back to retrieve those items before you leave the area.They did a ton of things to change the Silent Hill formula and honestly I dug most of it (exception being the inventory system only because they did it poorly) and to say that they played it completely safe is a bullshit lie.
@1shoryuken8 жыл бұрын
Team Silent did take a risk, Silent Hill 3 was safe as fuck (a sequel to the first game, recycled areas and really short game length). SH4 is a breathe of fresh air, it's a more minimal approach and it had way more passion put into it than past entries. Plus the game was way ahead of it's time, where do you think Amnesia and P.T got it's chops from?
@litovietbui8 жыл бұрын
I'm in the camp that believes SH4 was a new ip that was retroactively rubix cubed into a Silent Hill game. It's a whole other game that just name drops Silent Hill stuff. Random body of water, let's call it Toluca Lake. Serial killer character, let's name him after that one newspaper article in SH2 even though the game's story contradicts that article. The apartment's landlord is James' dad. Girl next door has a Robbie rabbit doll. etc. It's all surface level and very apparent, nothing is really inherently Silent Hill. It felt like Konami took half finished scraps from an entirely other project and put a SH skin over it. I guess you can call that "changing the formula."
@NotAGoodUsername3608 жыл бұрын
litovietbui To be fair, the game EXPLICITLY declares its Otherwords as being "both within and without the world of [Silent Hill]," and the ENTIRE motivation behind Walter's actions is HEAVILY implied to be to turn Room 302 into a miniature Silent Hill that is also sentient and capable of creating manifestations and Otherworlds to draw out fear, guilt and despair from the victims it lures in. In other words, Walter believes that Room 302 is LITERALLY his mother, that "she" is asleep, and in order to wake "her" up, he needs to create a new God (similar to the deity-like monsters that act as the final bosses for Silent Hill 1 and 3) through the ritual that involves killing 21 people including himself.

Shitstorm Secrets Vol. 31: “What are you doing? If you keep that up you'll contaminate the Liam Dip.” Pat paced around the kitchen, gentle streams of languid afternoon sunlight pouring in through a tiny window nestled in the room’s corner. He looked at the hulking mass of moss and snakes that stood hunched over the counter and sighed. “Woolie, you need to stop. Just leave it be. We need to move on.” He looked at his watch, tapping a scale covered foot against the smooth marble floor. Woolie grunted a few times, a chunk of bark dislodging itself from his ent beard and sinking into the bowl of syrupy liquid below. His massive body lurched as he straightened out, a viper coiling tightly around one of his branches as he turned to move. “God DAMMIT Woolie! You got ent residue in the dip!” Pat screamed as he rushed to the bowl, staring in disbelief at the foul mess the once divine condiment had become. “Ah, shit, fuck! Fuck it, we’ll just leave it. Liam’s about to finish in the Moe Dungeon. Come on, we gotta move.” He dashed towards the kitchen door, flinging it open and frantically pushing against Woolie's back to usher him through. A cobra poked its flared head from around Woolie’s neck and hissed at Pat, but knowing he was the superior species never dared attack. Pat scrambled for the couch, launching himself towards it as Woolie shuffled along behind him. He clasped the remote in one hand, switching the TV on and starting up an episode of Bible Black as a cover. Woolie's limbs groaned as he sat down, his body rigidly sinking back into the couch’s cushion. Almost immediately, as if given a cue, the front door swung open. Rays of divine light poured through the door, illuminating the edges of a noble silhouette. Liam strode into the room with unflappable providence, his godly countenance glistening in the Bible Black glow. “I KNOW THINE FOOLS HAVE TAMPERED WITH THE LIAM DIP.” His voice resonated throughout the apartment, baby Ashley falling from its perch atop a nearby shelf as the ground shook. “BUT MORE PRESSING MATTERS DEMAND OUR UNFALTERING ATTENTION.” Pat raised an eyebrow, feeling a vague disappointment that their syringe-in-the-dip prank had been seen through. “AT THIS TIME OF THE MONTH, LOCALIZED ENTIRELY IN HIS APARTMENT, MATTHEW OF THE CLAN MCMUSCLES WAS FOUND DEAD.” Pat gasped in shock. Zach stopped in place. His body seemed to melt, a mournful yowl--one that would make even the strongest man burst into tears--escaping his mouth. Woolie’s branch creaked a bit. “Must’ve been one of those Ustabiaz fuckers,” Pat grumbled under his breath, slamming one fist into the other. “Uuoooahhhghhh…” Woolie groaned in agreement. Liam took a step forward, fishing a Vita from his sash and tapping on the screen a few times. “FOOLS, THE BOTH OF YOU. THE KILLER’S IDENTITY IS NO SECRET. ONE OF MY VITA SECURITY CAMERAS WAS SET UP AT THE SCENE. WE NEED ONLY BEHOLD IT'S CONTENTS.” Liam gazed back down at the celestial instrument’s screen, seeming to linger on something. “Well what're you waiting for, man? Show it to us!” Pat demanded, anxiously wringing his reptilian hands together. Liam gazed from the screen to the TV, called upon his secret ability--”Vita TV”--and in that instant Bible Black switched to a view of his Vita’s screen. Pat and Woolie lurched forward, eyes glued to the grainy footage of Matt’s apartment that flickered across their television screen. The sight they saw was enough to drive a man to madness. The thing in the centre of the room was wine-red and clumpy. It seemed thick and viscous as it oozed against the floor, bubbly and congealed. little chunks of something yellow and goopy were sunk into various parts of the viscera, a thin, milky film seeming to be spread across the entire thing. Atop the rotted mess lay a spherical shape, caved in and hollow. Creamy red liquid pooled inside it, little tufts of matted hair sticking out from underneath a beanie stained with blood and vomit. In one corner of the room, an arm. Its flesh was torn and peeled from the bone, the muscle underneath hanging out like stringy beef. In the other corners, the rest of his limbs, treated in a similar fashion. Maggots clung to the rended flesh, wriggling as they burrowed their way inside of it. The sight alone made Pat want to vomit. He could almost smell it wafting through his screen. The odour of burnt rot. Turgid smoke, clogging his nostrils. And then they saw him. The culprit. Laying right in the middle of the macaroni salad that was matt’s innards. He turned to the camera, His eyes glistened. Malice. Hatred. Kill. Devour. The room closed in on them. Slaughter. Kill. Death. Pat couldn’t breathe. The ancient evil that sat there, gleefully playing in Matt’s remains caused his brain to tremble. It took a few steps towards the camera, a few maddeningly slow steps, nails clicking sinisterly against the hardwood floor-- And Benny barked.

Like, literally NOTHING about The Room's story is problematic or goofy, maybe a bit dull in certain points but truthfully SH3 was the dullest of the OG Team Silent games. Origins is really great, too, but it's more Homecoming styled in its hardline narrative. I prefer the Silent Hill games with a more aloof protagonist, and where the motives of all the characters aren't ever really clarified - as it shouldn't be. After all, knowledge is power - but unknowing is fear.

I was so disappointed in SH4 after playing the first 3 games. It actually bombed when it came out and was the sole reason Konami decided to sell the rights to the franchise. They stated that after the bad reception and terrible sales of SH4 they didn't believe the franchise had the potential to continue turning a profit. Also, dispite what some people try to peddle, Team Silent did not have much involvement, whatsoever, in the development of this game. Out of all the members who made the first 3 Silent Hill games only 3 stayed on for SH4. Out of those 3 none had anything to do with the story, gameplay, or core game design. One was Akira Yamaoka who did the soundtrack, another was Masahiro Ito who only did some monster designs, and the third was just some producer who was entirely hands off with the actual development of the game. All other Team Silent members moved on to other projects because after the production of SH3 came to an end there was not supposed to be anymore SH games. 3 was intended to be the last one, so everyone moved on to other things. If it wasn't supposed to be a SH game I would've thought it was decent, but since it was supposed to be one I thought it was bad. It didn't have the feel, or the quality, of a SH game. It also broke the lore (which the first 3 games established) in multiple ways. Also, there's a seriously big difference between today's gamers and gamers of 20 years ago when it comes to how they perceive games. When SH4 came out, pretty much everyone thought it was terrible. I got a used copy, from Blockbuster, just 1 week after it's launch and there was already a stack of used copies for sale. I was really excited because the first 3 games blew me away, but when I was talking to the guy working there about it he simply said "It's not very good." I didn't believe him and bought it anyway. I returned it the next day (after only playing about 2-1/2 hours of it) and he said "Told ya." There was still a good sized stack of used copies there, as well. Yet today, gamers will swear it's really good. Some even calling it their favorite game in the series. It's as if they can't see the big drop-off in quality in writing, graphics, gameplay and overall game design. I mean, it was pretty drastic. Todays gamers definitely have _far_ lower standards. Or maybe they just don't pay attention to things as much.

I won't attempt to argue that it's better than any of the first 3 (even though I do prefer it), because I'm just not ready for the shit storm that will come my way. lol

So here's my HOT TAKE on Silent Hill. This is completely speculative on my part, but I feel that it is compelling enough to think about. Silent Hill is not necessarily malevolent. The town does not necessarily WANT to kill people, but wants them to be better. The town itself is a crucible for the broken: a furnace that will either purify the raw ore (Harry, James, etc.) and make them better or simply burn them to ash.

Well in the first game it was something like a manifestation of Alessa's suffering. And in the second game it was trying to punish James for a crime he forgot.

You are right it isn't necessarily evil per se, just so happens that the influence of people upon the town actually becomes self-filling ('this place is hell'... surprise if suddenly becomes your own personal hellscape). Silent Hill does reflects the inner subconscious of it's residents. There is an exception however in that both time and certain people have a greater influence over the way Silent Hill acts in the other world. Time in regards to the actual history of the town, it's religious Christian communities (eventually cults in more modern times) and the natives that live there before it. (ugg... cults were the dumbest part of this series, they did interesting things and yet there was always something in the way they trivialized things) And certain people like Alessa have an even greater influence that no others can match. Alessa's fear of dogs, interest in bugs, life experiences (nurses/doctors), and [as gaminggoddess85 mentions] her actual suffering actually permeates throughout a lot of Silent Hill games despite the protagonist and their own problems. It has also been shown that people can change themselves in Silent Hill. But given how messed up some of these people are, cultists, they themselves willingly become monsters. You are also partly right, it is in a sense therapeutic. But it may not be the intent of Silent Hill to help, but rather a state that it exists. Subconscious thoughts resurface and you, the protagonist, have to face these many ugly thoughts that have manifested. Obviously some part of you doesn't want to fully die but there is that thanatos impulse and guilt that edges you closer to the abyss of death. Manifestations/monsters can appear to both help you live in some form (like giving something you want) or it can consume you (death). So you the protagonist has to choose between the two. On a side note perhaps Alessa's desire of death actually makes Silent Hill a deadlier place than it really is. On another interesting side note, manifestations seem to actually exist apart from the protagonists. They sometimes take the role of certain manifestations, but they act very differently depending on the person they are around. The little girl in Silent Hill 2, probably see these manifestations very differently from James and they act accordingly different. So you can construe that there might be a will or intent behind Silent Hill. Silent Hill calls out to lost and broken souls; but I can't help to wonder that it, itself, is also lost and broken. Maybe it was something important at one point or was meant to be something?

the town doesn't help anyone all it does is project their psyche, so people with fucked up shit in their life have a tough time with silent hill the only way to escape is to confront these problems head on and recover from the trauma the town has no intentions regarding the people it comes in to contact with (in my opinion), it just does it's thing and if someone gets out then that's because they stopped giving silent hill "fuel for the fire" so to speak

I remember playing this game a while ago for the first time, and while I knew it wasn't perfect, I was still enjoying it. I got to the hospital and saw the hulking nurses and was excitedly terrified. I was too afraid to touch them and ran away for a good portion of the area until a moment where I had to fight one. I took one swing and... it belched. The nurses make a fucking cartoon burp sound when you hit them. I laughed my ass off and was never scared during SH4 again. A true fucking shame of sound design.

I always liked the concept of 4. Instead of experiencing the town you get to experience what happens when a product of that town goes out into the "normal" world.

I would agree that SH4 is a "troubled" game but I definitely don't think it's terrible. It's certainly an interesting game, and I love the central concept of being trapped in an apartment. If it wasn't called "Silent Hill" and was simply an original horror game called "The Room", it would probably be better regarded today and maybe better off overall...or maybe worse in both regards, not sure which honestly. In any case, yeah, it's not the first three games, but it's still way more interesting than Origins and light-years ahead of Homecoming (I haven't played Downpour). And Shattered Memories is similar in that I think it's a cool original horror game with Silent Hill slapped on the front of the box. Best of Shitstorm V awards: Anatomy, Monstrum, Claire, Through the Woods. Thanks for another 31 days of shit...storm, Best Friends!
