New Silent Hill 4 The Room trailer, not for the faint of heart...

[mortiz]

It wasn't scarey. I guess I'm just used to the other Silent Hill games so it seems... normal for them

Well i'm a big Silent Hill fan and that isn't even normal for the Silent Hill series.

I didn't find anything odd about it beside the fact that the zombies floated.

I said that on the second page

And I love your avatar

/me just got owned for being a post skipping fiend.

yikes.

well in that case ye are the man.

A lot of the monsters were a complete break from the other installations. Not only the floating zombies but the creatures with the long hair that just seem to "pop up".

It looks to be far more in the realms of "Japanese Horror" than the others.

exactly my thinking.... it doesnt look like the unconventional Silent HIll 'esque theme.
you know, with the silly filtered effect and monsters with no faces (so idiotic).

its nice to see them draw (obvious) inspiration from popular Movies (The Ring/Ringu and Event Horizon) as well as toying with the sound (that heavy breathing)....
with that in mind though... Silent HIll's weakest asset (IMO) was it's sound.

however the game industry is going about horror the entirely wrong way.... if I ever get back into modeling, texturing and animation I might mod something like it.
but, thats not likely .... airsoft so soon

what do you think they should be doing? I'm very curious, seriously. I have some ideas of my own regarding horror and games. I'd like to hear some of yours

Dude, the previous SH games, atleast the Second one got famous for its scary sounds.

I've played all the currently released SH games, played the first one for PSX, I remember the first level where you go pick up the radio and this monster crashes into the room.

I think it will have bonds with SH2, some characters in it reminded me of them.

Also, That rotating machinery reminding you of a black-hole thing?

Well, from what I can gather, it might be the one that transports the maincharacter between the different dimensions.

The SH series are so creepy because of their stories also.

Also, did you see the monster in a wheel chair in the trailer..?

For your info, Harrys daughter in the original SH(He was chasing her in the beginning) turns up at the end of the game as a demon IN A WHEEL chair.

I'm good at killing threads.

 

[NSPIRE]

Don't care what anyone says... all the Silent Hill games always will scare the shit outta' me, and they kick major ass. End of story.

SH3 seemed to veer from the SH style a bit to me. I dunno why it just seems like it. Don't get me wrong I loved it. I can't wait for this new one. Better scare me or I'm gonna kill someone.

 

[Zakat]

Yeah.. SH3 wasn't all that scary, this game seems to be tho, you know the big monsters? Their screams give me the creeps.
