naw, that fu is a beast.

that’s why I said, “aww hell naw”.

I never played any of these games except SH as a demo at best buy, lol.

I’ve watched a lot of the endings for the games and speed runs on youtube.

from what I saw, SH2 was better. SH4 was annoying to me. My bro played it but never beat it. I forgot why but everytime you could see through a hole to the girl’s room, I think, I kept expecting tho get stabbed in the eye or something. SH3 was coo, but I only got “shooked” when at the end she made a crazy face when she was talking the camera was on her face. it seemed like she was posed for just a second.

Silent Hill 2 was my absolute favorite. Beat it at least seven times.

Hopefully Homecoming is good, the only review so far gave it a 6.5/10.

103

SH 2, hands down. Story, atmosphere, enemies. The greatest.

104

I know sum ppl on this board dont like Kotaku but this is a cool little paragraph:

105

reading that link about Sweet Home was deep, and Capcom made it.

Looks like they based a ton of RE off of Sweet Home from the Mansion to special skills and most importantly, a lighter.

106

Is Silent Hill Origins any good? I got it for PSP but haven’t played it.

107

yah, I liked Origins a lot!! Mostly coz it felt hella fresh playing SH style game after so long.

it’s real awesome getting to experience the Silent Hill atmosphere on PSP! The plot is nothing deep or anything but it’s a great game

Gamepro doesn’t know shit about games. Stop reading reviews and go find out yourself.

109

It’s alright if you don’t mind playing a Silent Hill game and never getting scared like Bonecrusher. Not even a little bit.

110

SH5 still looks hot but wayy too many better titles coming out this year to make this a must buy for me.

111

Early reviews are already stating complaints I had been worried about since they announced it was in development by American developers (IE. not scary).

I’m a fan though…will buy. Need something to tide over until Dead Space.

…whenever it comes out on Steam. They say it’s suppose to be out, but it’s not even mentioned on Steams site.

112

fuck IGN. :shake:

113

The 1up review is more favorable.

But I actually don’t doubt that IGN review for a second. It’s clearly more actiony and less focused on “WTF was dat!?” moments. Just watch the vids. I generally don’t like IGN, GS, or whoever, but for once, the evidence is there.

Still…the only review that truly counts is mine.

114

fixed. :wonder:

115

Any impressions so far? I haven’t gotten my copy yet.

116

Go buy it. Trust me.

117

It’s on it’s way. I’ve been hearing good things about it. I’m glad most people are over the fact that it’s made by a western team.

118

I haven’t played Origins yet.

I don’t give a rat’s ass about western/japanese teams, since Team Silent started crumbling after Sh1 anyway, but stuff like going through mirrors to get the nightmareish SH doesn’t sound right to me.

What i’m wondering is, if the team from Origins did such a good job, why not give them Sh5/Homecoming?

No PS3 experience maybe, but I don’t think the Homecoming team has much experience of anything really. Didn’t they make the Buffy game?

119

I dunno…but I do recall enjoying that Buffy game a lot.

I’ll be playing this as soon as it’s released on Steam. Whenever that is…

120

I haven’t. It just looks like shit in every video I’ve seen. I want to buy just because it’s a new SH, but this one just comes off as a “Best of” Silent Hill. I hope I’m wrong though. Also, reports of it not being scary makes buying this game pointless to me. I don’t think there will ever be a Silent Hill game to top 2, but yeah.
