Kind of makes me appreciate how much the silence of PT creates the horror atmosphere. Imagine how much less horror there would be if the character explained every photo on the wall and on the dresser, or when you come back around the hallway, he expositioned "Hey, wtf? It's like I'm trapped in a loop! What the heck is behind me???" But Bawk made it enjoyable.

The bits about bullying and suicide were way too on the nose and lacked subtlety. However, the child abuse section was far more immersive and handled better (save for when we watch the mother turn into the monster.) The acting and performances were very mid, especially on the main character. I feel the issue is more in the dialogue than her acting itself though. That final chase is also really rough, especially without a map. However, the atmosphere, the art direction, the music? Incredible. The otherworld shifts were clean, the IDEA of the sticky notes I really enjoyed. And the part where they shifted into pictures of eyes instead? Loved that. The final chase otherworld had areas that looked like they were ripped straight from Silent Hill 1. The music was incredible as well, LOVE to hear new SH stuff from Akira Yamaoka. Overall I'd give it a 6/10. I cant complain too much considering it was a free game, and I feel if there was some polish and better writing with more content, it would be a solid entry.

Yeah, I completely agree. You hit the nail on the head. There are some good and some bad. My biggest gripes are how forced and over-the-top the message is. I can appreciate them tackling serious themes, but my god is it phoned in at times, sometimes to the point of being comical. They could’ve handled it way better. I agree that the child abuse segment was handled better and was actually interesting (albeit fucked up). The chase sequences aren’t bad. They can be tense and anxiety-inducing, but I don’t like how there’s no indication on where to go. I feel like I’m just running around aimlessly hoping I get lucky.

I felt it was made by some good developers, that had the mission to try and make it 'relatable' for a new generation of silent hill fans, hence it also being free. They wanted to try and get zoomers onboard with silent hill. However, the chase sequences were awful and the story had some straight up laughable and cringey moments. It was bad, but at least you could feel like it had that Japanese silent hill feel to it. Spoilers - But I fucking lol'd hard when the MC was saying they was losing followers on social media, and then a few minutes later proceeded to jump off the roof.

What made Silent Hill work is that it was weird, and it made the player feel weird. But if you are an indie studio pitching a multi-million dollar company your idea for the "next entry of the big franchise" the word "weird" is one of those that's gonna buy you a ticket out of the conference room, fast. Or, if you've gotten that far, your partially funded vertical slice of the project is still going to be cancelled and shelved when the execs panic at the "weirdness" of your game. "Weird" doesn't look at all like the market studies. "Weird" isn't safe for business. This whole attempt at bringing Silent Hill back is bound to fail, unfortunately.
@dantrizchan
@dantrizchan 6 ай бұрын
I think you're totally right about the silent hill phenomenon being an issue, it basically means you have "silent hill" wherever you like. It destroys the allure of that town, the significance of people flocking there through some weird ritualistic cult magic feeding off people with traumatically damaged brains. For me, I'd say it's worse than that again. Be kinda scientifically explaining the silent hill phenomenon they're basically completely killing the mystique and shrouded allure of what it is that's really going on when people go to silent hill and are seeing weird stuff that's actually all part of their minds. In the first 4 Silent Hill games the hinting of that was enough for fans to get an impression that that was going on, but the specifics were vague enough such that you wouldn't be able to explain the "rules" of how it all worked. And this sort of explanation/writing sorta throws all that away. It favours lore-dumping (for want of a better phrase) at the expense of what made Silent Hill so special. That's my biggest concern. The accusation of woke that might get thrown its way is totally vapid and meaningless, I'm not completely against having silent hill games take place in different locations assuming you could legitimately tie it to the underlying supernatural cult magic, and even somewhat generic themes wouldn't bother me too much if there was subtle/david lynchian style dialogue or story telling. I am very worried that this franchise is gonna die pretty much as soon as it's been revitalised in this very strange attempt by konami.

If you noticed there are several documents and books about the witch and the Silent Hill effect, this is actually the lore for tied in upcoming Silent Hill f and we got a tease on what f is gonna be: - Apparently the Witch is a Japanese woman who haunted a town in German and I think there is a witch hunt happened and the witch was gone. However, this was in the past and I had a theory, the curse of that witch remained happened till the modern day which later on linked to the Silent Hill which we knew from several games, so technically... I think this explained the original of the witch hunt, the cult and most likely the name "Lisa" as an entity of several Silent Hill games including PT (except for 4, 4 remained to be on something else) - let just friendly reminder: the guy creator of the horror visual novel game: Higurashi had a cult theme in it, so of course, you can already tell what Silent Hill f is gonna be - **we are gonna deal with Japanese witches and cult** (so technically they are doing Fatal Frame route but slapping Silent Hill title card) - Short Message is technically served as either a prologue to Silent Hill f or epilogue depends on the setting in Silent Hill f was

The game will cause alot of suicides for sure, they had to warn you may become one of them
@beardalaxy
@beardalaxy 6 ай бұрын
Not only is there a suicide warning, but it's a suicide warning that shows up a total of 5 times in your playing experience. With how the story actually treats the subject matter, it just reeks of disingenuousness. It's like when KZbinrs were all shilling out BetterHelp. Nobody looks at these warnings and such and actually thinks the people who wrote them want to help them, they're just doing it so that they can say they did something and feel good about themselves at the end of the day. It's just cheap, like getting a Valentine's Day card from the office at school because nobody got you one. Silent Hill 2 had no warning at all, crazy enough. Suicide, sexual abuse, murder, the whole gamut. People don't really complain about it though, do they? If anything, I've heard loads of people saying that SH2 is a bit of a cozy game for them because of the way it handles everything it does. I feel that way too.

No matter what justifications you could come up with for why you might actually like this game, at the end of the day it's just not Silent Hill and that much you can't argue with. This isn't Silent Hill. This is Life is Strange with Silent Hill inspired segments. PS: I don't give a sh** if it's free. They slapped "Silent Hill" in the title, they willingly opened it up for comparison to the original and given we haven't had a decent title since Silent Hill 4 over 20 years ago, I'm NOT inclined to be merciful. Stop making FAN FICTION and calling it a "Silent Hill" game, then we'll talk.

What blows my mind is that Yamoaka and Ito both worked on this. It makes me wonder if A. they were highly encouraged by Konami to go with this kind of story-telling or B. they've succumbed to "we must talk about the current thing". Because, they are very talented people. but everyone misses a shot from time to time. It's just disappointing seeing their names added to this, and some SH fans will claim that we should love this game because of that. The monster design was beautiful to be fair.

Whoever wrote this and came up with the concept for it never worked on the original games that much is obvious.

Silent hill gets some voice acting flak, and rightfully so in some cases (James sounds like a dork), but my god she sounds like she's permanently on the brink of having a winge. Two more big criticisms: - Horror games need to stop making the only solution running, situations you can run from might scare you, but absolute nightmares are always the ones you're forced to engage with even when you want to run. - New writers miss this but having characters react perfectly realistically minute to minute and monologue in a bad setting doesn't work well in games (e.x. her annoying cry running, narrating every single thing she sees). It's an interactive medium, when you describe everything in detail, and also tell the user how their character feels they're just going to mentally engage with the situations less. SH 2 worked partly because they let the player slowly realize that James is completely insane and that the other characters, though also insane, are completely right about him. At first you think he's ignoring the monsters because of love and because it's a video game, but as it goes on you start to see more and more that he's very suicidal and so burnt out that hell itself struggles to make itself more unappealing then another minute of normal life. Even if the game was just the intro scene and maybe 1 or 2 more scenes with dialogue to reaffirm he was in SH for Mary, they did a good enough job with the interactive story telling that what I described would still be perfectly conveyed, we'd only be missing why that feeling makes sense for him. After SH4 the next game to pick up that mantle, of trust in the player to engage with the story, wasn't SH homecoming or the PSP crap, it was dark souls (though they took it in a very different direction).

silent hill? cringe hill? zoomer hill? silent hillz? I feel like whoever wrote this really tried their best to create a new type of silent hill for the youth, mostly on the damage social network does to today's generations, but either they didn't know how to put it in a videogame or they don't personally have suffered from it so the message is not properly conveyed, and with the writing so on the nose, with even the hotline message right after the scene she jumps, it just doesn't work AT ALL. That being said, I can bet a pretty buck there definitely is a place for silent hill for younger players, otherwise life is strange wouldn't have been popular.

Kinda mid ngl, the voice acting feels off on Maya and the mom's voice is kind of awkward. I loved how the older Silent Hill's were more subtle with it's themes and message. As for the message here, it was definitely good and all but, it felt a bit too drawn out and overexplained. Glad they give the player suicide hotline resources too in case someone is strugging. The monster at first was genuinely creepy/scary but annoying towards the end imo. Overall it's an ok experience and great it's free at least.

Being around folks that talked down to me or treated me badly all my life had me grow up to be a person with zero confidence in themselves and someone who is always so hard on themselves or never feels good enough but Yeah it was a little too on the nose but I feel they were trying to reach the newer generation of silent hill fans as the younger generation are more open to things regarding mental health and generations before tend to keep it more hidden reason why the older games are more subtle also the franchise just isn't what it used to be too lol
