I actually really enjoyed Shattered Memories, but my biggest beef with it was
why the fuck not add a spoiler to be safe
Spoiler
that you’re safe at ALL times when you’re not in the otherworld. At first I’m moving on cautiously like I would in any other SH (I put myself into an intentional “I’m scared” mood, makes these so much better) and the first otherworld appears pretty quickly so there wasn’t really enough time or exploration to realize that you’re safe outside of it. But then the second one came around and I was like “hmmm I was never attacked once in between”. I did like the bits of back story and town antics scattered throughout and this really did have the best ending since SH2 in my opinion.
Update on Downpour, this is rumor mill shit but Radek Marek who’s the art director as interviewed by Xbox Magazine in Italy, and one of the questions was “are there any plans for multiplayer?” I instantly shuddered, but his answer was no, not immediately but there may be plans for Xbox DLC later that based on just surviving in the town with others. Thoughts?
I don’t think I’ll get silent hill hd collection, they are changing the voice acting and the new voices sound really bad. And I all ready have all the silent hill games. Down pour looks a lot better then home coming
What’s wrong with the new voices? From what I’m hearing from the new voices the VA’s are actually emoting. There’s emotional weight behind James words compared to the original’s.
I just don’t like them, maybe cause I’m to used to the original sh characters. Silent hill book of memories looks really bad, it might be the 1st silent hill game I’ll pass on
Sorry but Brocoming was truly one of the worst games I’ve had the displeasure of playing. No bias here, no sir. I also wondered why they didn’t just make the Silent Hill movie originally the plot of SH2, considering it was a stunning, flawless goddess of a story.
ya the HD collection is going to suck, why change the voice actors? Makes no sense, and they sound like shit. And you only get 2 and 3? Wtf kind of collection is that only 2 games? Should have at least added the 1st one.
The actor for James made a huge stink about not getting money he thinks he deserves from royalties. Unfortunately that’s just not how voice acting works in games, your voice is considered just a module of the game and you get paid your salary for doing it and that’s it.
I’m a few hours in and so far nothing really sticking out to me. Even with the good SH’s though they weren’t really “OMGWTF” until towards the end so I’m still keeping an open mind :tup:
Good: Likable main character, decisions affect the ending again, the story is one of the more coherent ones so far and is an enjoyable ride.
Bad: Terrible combat, even worse than Homecoming to me. How the fuck can the enemies dodge, combo and catch me and all I can do is stiff ass swings that remind me of the first Silent Hill on Playstation?, Map controls can be awkward, health mapping on the 360 D-pad sometimes gets me to accidentally use health packs when I am full.
I only spend $30 on it, so not a complete ways and I am digging the story. Might pick up the HD collection when it drops.
