What do you think of the upcoming movie and will you be seeing it? For me the movie is a must since it's story is from SH3 (the best story thus far in my opinion). I felt like doing this now that we have the name for the movie and the new game coming. This also goes for the discussion on the game, Downpour.

Talking about Downpour, the game is looking amazing. Hopefully they have made it throughly enough this time, Homecoming had too many bugs on release. I still wonder what kind of game it's going to be since I heard that water plays a big part in the game (sounds similar to how ice played part in Shattered Memories).

Some facts I found for the game:
-You only use 1 weapon at a time and they break
-Murphy can get scared (don't really know how this affects gameplay)
-He can miss if the player isn't accurate enough
-The otherworld is not going to be like previous Silent Hill games
-Characters can be different based on your actions (in what way? who knows)
-The game has side quests and exploration

The game sure looks interesting.

Weird that the movie has a similar name to the latest RE title...


UPDATE: New trailer:


..and new announcements:

Ill be giving the film a watch but ill wait to see what the reviews are like for the game first.

my faith in silent hill might be restored

What made you lose faith in the first place?

pretty much every game after three. homecoming really got my hopes up... and then after i beat it six hours later i was mad i even spent money on the fucking thing. it was buggy, un-scary, and ridiculously easy... exactly what silent hill should not be. dont get me wrong, i love the series. silent hill 2 is in my top five of all time, alongside REmake, Ocarina of Time, FFVII, and SSB Melee. but everything started getting really crappy after sh3. its kind of sad really.

Either you're being too critical or I'm just being my unbiased self

Anyway, I actually found the game relatively hard/scary and the bugs had been patched when I got the game. I played it on normal, I think, and in a dark room at night. Maybe some of those made my experience different? 5 felt more like the originals than 4, at least. The Room had a great story but it sure wasn't as scary (well, the ghosts were, but you know what I mean). 0rigins on the other hand had all the right elements but was too short/easy. Shattered Memories is easily dismissed since it's just a reimagining.

I won't get you wrong, don't worry. I've heared other people who like SH say that too.

I'm really looking forward to the next movie. As the filming is expected to begin on March 7, 2011 and end on May 6, 2011 we'll propably get the movie at the end of this year.

"Silent Hill is not a blockbuster game like Resident Evil or the other games out there. It's a connoisseurs' game. It has its own, rabid fan base. They're not cheap, these things. You have to appeal not only to the gamers, you have to appeal to a wider audience."
-Don Carmody, the movies' producer

Now why doesn't Anderson think like that D:

Silent Hill has amazing stories and I think that
there will be little differences in the movie from the
original story .
