Well, playing up the comedic elements of Silent Hill was a gamble.

true true. very true. Also the Trailer for it was very special.

[@135SolidSnake]

ESPECIALLY Resting Comfortably. 52 seconds on the soundtrack doesn't do it justice, probably my most favorite track in the game. I managed to find a ten minute loop tho

[@GuitarxWolf]

I loved The Room, I think because I’m an introvert and coming back home to an apartment felt safe lol, it might have been haunted as shit but it was something to go back too.

[@onlydarkness1990]

Lol I feel you

[@mkrowenp]

i love the way you mentioned how fond you were of the game as a child, and remembering your parents play it. it just goes to show how great and lasting this series is, and how it endures the test of time when we pass these silent hill stories onto the next generation to experience them :)

[@PKSkeith]

this was my favorite of the games. it had some weird mechanics, but I really liked the way your safe haven was slowly corrupted and you had to defend it.

[@stolenrelic]

Henry is my favorite SH protagonist *because* he is just some rando. He didn't choose the responsibility of being a parent, he didn't kill anyone, he isn't magic or special. He's just some dude who needs to survive through the powerlessness of being thrown into someone else's nightmare. Adding to that, there is some depth in Henry's behavior. Henry behaves like he has already suffered some long term abuse prior to moving into the apartment. The quiet way he accepts a horrible situation with very little protest, but still begs for help when there's people outside his door seems more like the way someone with cPTSD readily accepts and functions horrible situations with occasional bouts of desperation/panic bleeding over. He also is extremely motivated by the need to protect someone from a situation he has endured, which is also a common characteristic of survivors of abuse. There's more, but tl;dr is it's an intriguing layer to the main character that I'm glad we don't find out more in the game so players can speculate or read the character however they like. For example, Henry having depression is a valid read as well.

[@HCsailingon]

My first Silent Hill game. To me, the haunting spirits that render the apartment no longer safe in the late game is an ingenious design. It was both refreshing and painful to find out that going back home brings about as much horror and anxiety as heading outside, that nowhere in fact is safe. That psychological pressure was unspeakable to me as a teenager. This is comparable with the mechanism in the first games (and The Room) that the map changes when the world switches, and you can no longer trust what you know. That's one concept the franchise (these 4 games at least) implemented really well - giving the player a mechanism that comforts the mind, allowing enough time for the player to grow dependent on it, and then taking it away without notice. I remember SH2 did something very similar late game too when the game forces you to temporarily drop your entire inventory to entire a new area. I'd never felt that naked in a video game.

[@Lastbornschwab7]

This game always reminds me of 1408. The short story by Stephen King adapted into a movie with John Cusack and Samuel L jackson in 2007. Evil room, cant leave, weird delusions/scenarios, and even multiple endings.

[@SpiritStoneWarrior94-yx3gs]

Honestly would not be surprised if the director/writers at Team Silent used that short story for inspiration tbf!

[@davidhale9730]

An interesting note. At the very beginning of the game (Henry's Dream sequence), you're actually seeing through the eyes of Joseph Schreiber, Room 302's previous occupant who met with same fate of being locked inside, as well being able to travel through the holes to the various otherworlds, just like Henry. This is who Jasper is referring to as "the nosey guy". The red diary pages received throughout the game also belonged to Schreiber. Clearly, he never escaped the room, possibly becoming another victim of Walter Sullivan. Or most likely killed by the ghost who comes through the apartment wall at the start of the game. You can tell you're not playing as Henry in the intro by examining some of the items in the apartment, the biggest tell being a portrait of the protagonist hanging in Henry's bedroom, whom Schreiber notes he doesn't recognise. Like Walter Sullivan, Joseph Schreiber also gets a mention in a previous Silent Hill game. He's the author of a magazine article about the Cult, which Heather finds in SH3.

[@Minchken]

I like to think he survived the encounter with Stone and decked his home out with holy candles before he was taken by walter.

[@wheresmyshield176]

It hit different knowing there was someone before you that had to go through these trials and left notes for you just in case.

[@lightdragoon88]

Joseph Schreiber was indeed killed by the ghost who crawls through the wall at the start and we do see Joseph again: As the upside down man who tells Henry everything.

[@91Definite]

@@lightdragoon88yea it was crazy and Eileen recognized it was him. But how though 🤔? Man was a shadowy figure

[@91Definite]

@@wheresmyshield176it does and Joseph never escaped the room! But how the hell Eileen never knew what happened to him? Despite him being weird at the end of his life? She ain’t heard no yells or tortures or nothing?

[@lost_in_midgar]

Fantastic retrospective. The concept and story of SH4 is remarkable but sadly I never finished it because of how frustrating and frightening I found it in the second half, Walter and the ghosts chasing more-so than having to escort Eileen. I’d forgotten about the inventory becoming more restricted too - that annoyed me so much!

[@cantankerouscollie8944]

You never fail to impress, son. I'm proud of you. Keep it up.

[@carlb1874]

i feel like from the numbered games this is the one that most needs and will also most likely never get a remake. a lot of cool ideas that didnt properly pan out in the second half. as always loving your videos mijo

[@Woorhies]

And much has been censored. When moving through the locations with Eileen, we got to a spiral staircase, which symbolized the darkest thoughts of Walter and Teamsilent initially wanted us to look at the plot from the other side in this way, but due to censorship, a lot of things were removed from there and you can only see empty bloody tables(

[@Torthrodhel]

@@Woorhies thanks for that! Long time fan and I didn't know that before. Censorship has really had an effect on these games, huh?

[@Woorhies]

@@Torthrodhel There's a guy on KZbin, RODOLFO NUNEZ, and he's hacking Silent Hill game files. In SH 4 he was able to find various images referring to childbirth and related operations, which should have been on a spiral staircase. If this is combined with what is in the game on the stairs, I think it can be assumed that the developers wanted to show Walter's hatred for his parents and his own birth. And also that he became obsessed with the idea of ​​"returning to the mother's womb." Therefore, when we find his crucified corpse, we can see that he tied his body with an umbilical cord that connects to the floor. And in the final battle, his corpse turns into something similar to a huge ugly fetus or embryo, from which umbilical cords stick out. Plus, the scene in St. Jerome's hospital, when Walter cut open the dead woman's stomach and penetrated inside with his hands, becomes a more understandable allusion to his perverse desire to return to the womb. It's a shame that all these crazy ideas in terms of symbolism were cut off and therefore some things about Walter are quite difficult to understand. (Sorry for bad English)

[@Torthrodhel]

@@Woorhies and that's not even considering what never got developed because of those ideas getting cut off - that's just what got left in the game files! That's crazy. But some of the stuff that did make it into the game was mighty disturbing too, and I'm glad some of it did. It can be the smallest moments, too - like the implications of those messages Eileen reads in the forest. Or big stuff like Jasper burning or Richard frying. They clearly were in the mood to push the envelope. Wonder how much of what got held back was down to time constraints? I know Konami was keen to push it out the door, and it did feel a bit rushed in places (only having two bosses, for instance - there's even an unused boss theme for the twin victims monster). It would be a wild stab in the dark in terms of being able to trust someone with the project, but how awesome would a "full intent" version of this game be? Like were you ever looking down through the grating in apartment world and wandering if Walter would walk by and maybe even look up if you dared move? And that one silver bullet you can go back through virtually every level for just before the end of the game even though it's completely pointless to by that point... clearly there was meant to be something more special there than a silver bullet. Maybe a channelling stone from a cut joke ending? Who knows, right? The mind conjures such possibilities. :)

[@tonyelectionfraud669]

That Eileen head scared the shit out of me

[@QMMarc]

A thing i like about this game too is that there are a lot of things you just have to piece together yourself. Like, Henry's a bit of a reclusive guy, he likes taking photos and watching things behind a wall, a camera, he might even be somewhat sociopathic (Not in a murder type of way there are types) or just extremely socially anxious, the way he moves really gives the vibes of someone not used to or uncomfortable with people but the game never really tells you directly about Henry, cause he's the camera to witness the things for the ritual right. Its like, a really interesting story, and quite experimental, it, unlike the western games after it, doesn't try to make SH2 over and over again, what made SH2 and SH4 special, at least for me, is that they aren't like the game they came after, there is a connecting tissue there small as it is, but the story they're telling isn't just rhyming the same words the previous games did for the fans to go ''Oh this is like X I'll clap to it!'', SH it's at it's worse when it plays safe which is what the next games felt like to me. Great vid as always!

That guy from my old office that left the foil on his burrito and almost burnt the building down? Yeah, he recommended the place, and you know how much your mother loves pizza, so I was excited to see her excited. I think we ordered some kind of broccoli and chicken pizza. I don't remember what all it had on it, but there was broccoli and it was better than you might think. Are you eating enough veggies, Son? Your mother and I always worry, but hopefully we raised you right. Anyway, Silent Hill is great and thanks for another video. Proud of you.

silent hill 4 needs to be remade in full but sadly we know that wont happen. the gameplay can really suck sometimes but that story is a gem and works so well with silent hill without repeating the same stories over again.

[@Gstv-_-]

If there's one thing I remember about Silent Hill 4 (besides Eileen being equally annoying as Ashley from RE4) is the feeling of it being too long for no reason, probably due to how tedious it was to deal with the ghosts and like you said, the inventory system. (Something funny I recall though was that if you defeat one of the ''Patient'' enemies on a staircase, they would slowly make their way to the floor and playing their ''hit'' sound effect whenever they got a step down the staircase lol)

I loved the story of this game and how everything you experienced was from the twisted perspective of the antagonist. The tone of the game was something I haven't quite seen in many other horror games. It's largest downfall is just how tedious some of its gameplay is. Either way, it was one of my favorites in the series! Also, this has been an enjoyable series to watch! It's very fair and even in its discussion of the games!

Another absolute banger, son. A fair, balanced, and well articulated take. It’s very clear to me that this is the game PT was going to use as a spring board - from first person to radio stories and more. And I can see why. It’s a sturdy foundation that could totally use some slight tweaks to execution.

[@colinglandon5205]

Hell yeah, been looking forward to this all weekend and starting the day off right with it. This one always seemed to scare me the most as a kid because of how bizarre it was, even when compared to the ones before it. I’ve definitely listened to the OST more than I’ve played the game.

[@Torthrodhel]

Small correction: Henry doesn't get out of bed at the very, very beginning of the game; Joseph does. You're playing as Joseph Schreiber for that tiny bit. That's why if you go around examining stuff, he doesn't recognise most of the decorations nor who Henry is in the portrait hanging on the wall. It's also why it's already haunted.

I played SH4 recently and when the portal opens in the bathroom it turned my blood cold and was overcame with pure fear. I was also super stoned so I’m sure that didn’t help

[@BobHowler]

Hey nerdy fact fans, the prison is based upon the designs of the panopticon from the writings of Jeremy Bentham. It was meant to be the worlds most utilitarian prison, allowing the fewest number of guards to monitor the largest number of prisoners. The observation holes were high up so prisoners couldn’t see whether they were being watched or not, which would mean they would behave better (it’s better to be good when you know you could be spied on at any time).

[@turismofoegaming8806]

I just want to say, up until the point where Eileen is following you nonstop, figuring out at certain points what exactly you had to do like when the hole in your room move and you have to put all the four placard in the place it took me about 15 minutes of wandering around the room to figure out what I needed to do but I loved every minute of it🎉❤

[@cocowakey]

While I found that i actually like this game, and I didnt mind eileen, her escort mission is just so frustrating with Walter and all the other ghosts chasing you because even if you move slow enough for her to catch up and unequip her weapon, she for some reason periodically stops and runs in the opposite direction when there are enemies. Its especially annoying with ghosts because you can't even get rid of them

[@booitsjohnny]

Yeah, idk if I agree this time! I love this game and it isn't perfect but it far from disappointed me even in the latter half. I liked that the room that was your safe haven ends up harming you. The entire game was so terrifying. It's the only game in the series that gave me nightmares.

[@protojager]

I think it would have been neat if Henry was kind of possessed for most of the game, doing Walter's bidding without knowing that's why he was doing things. Like Walter needed a physical vessel to work through but wasn't powerful enough to fully control another living being.

I watched my older brother play this he got up to the point where the apartment stopped healing him. Before that when Walter started chasing him he said "man....this fucking game" and just sat there shaking his head and silently seething. When he noticed he wasn't able to heal in the apt he just sternly said "yep....were done. I'm returning this shit to GameStop." Which he did immediately.

[@isidrogalvez3]

hey son, so this one was my first introduction to the silent hill series. although not the best of the first 4 i still have the much love for it because it was the first one i played and made me fall in love with the silent hill series, not knowing it would get so much better.

[@BelieveIt1051]

I don't know what you're talking about, man. If the game is too hard for you just play it on easy mode. Eileen can hobble along faster, so Henry can run a little bit. I don't think that takes away from the immersion or horror aspects at all. If anything, that adds to it. That's so you can't just run away from everything. And the dogs are set to attack you if you run, but not if you walk. That adds a bit of a stealth element to it. I think the only real problems with SH4 are there just weren't enough levels, or the existing levels weren't large enough. Repeating the levels is fine, but there should have been more to unlock in that case. Different areas of the same levels. Like Wish House for example. We should have been able to explore all the rooms with Jasper, until he gets into the one he shouldn't have been in. Then after it burns down, the lower levels should have revealed a downward spiraling staircase that leads to like an underground cave or bunker of sorts, which would lead to the Water Prison. That would established where Walter's concept of a downward staircase originated from, and it would show the connection between Wish House and the Water Prison. The inventory/storage system was fine. You just have to manage it properly. The only problem was holding more than one of the same type of item. If they had allowed us to group like items, then it would have been perfect. Like all handgun bullets occupy one space in the inventory. Or maybe three drinks or med kits to one space. Or five candles to one space. Or 10 medallions to one space. Also, disposing of broken weapons should have been an option. Also, granting a larger inventory when Eileen joins would have also been good. Another minor issue was the Yes/No option selection always starts out with "no" highlighted. Meaning it takes a left press then X to confirm "yes" to interact with items or read things. But overall, SH4 is a great game, and my favorite one of the series, although SH2 was the superior game.

Of all the Team Silent games this one and SH1 most need a remake. 1 obviously because of the limitations of the PSX but this game's setup would be perfect for the modern horror genre. I would just change the last half of the game by having Eileen get kidnapped or vanish earlier. Maybe escort her for 2 levels after rescuing her from the hospital but she inevitably gets possessed and starts to distrust Henry. And when you do revisit the levels the map should radically change or open up since Walter is closer to his goal

I didn’t have any issues playing this game my first time, which may be while I love it. I felt like escorting Ashley in RE 4 was worse than escorting Eileen in SH 4. Honestly, when you get to the second half, you have to understand that you need to play the game differently, more slowly, but it’ll work out

This is the only game I've ever played that sends me into an anxiety ridden semi-psychosis. It seems that climbing through that hole really sets it off, coupled with the claustrophobic room; this game is a heavy wet blanket and it's only made more cumbersome by the fact you have to play each "level" twice. When I play SH (specifically SH2) I'm resolving some border-line schizo tendencies, SH4 however exacerbates it. I always wondered if anyone else experienced anything similar?

I really enjoyed silent hill 4. It got me into the series, I had a demo of 4 and wanted to know more.

Silent hill 4 is the most video game ish silent hill. A hero, a villian, a princess, two treks to win A la Ghost and Goblins

you want to know frustration? Try getting a 10-star rating in Silent Hill 3. Talk to me after you get to the slurpers in the hospital...
