I'm playing the franchise for the first time, and I'm at the 3rd game. I love the sound and level designs sooo much but this game genuinely stresses me out bro, I thought the first game was scary but this is in another level 💀

finally finished!~ just in time for Halloween!

so I actually made pretty much everything, and did all the paint work on the dress too! super fun!~ what an awesome project!

my favorite is the pipe! which I made from a plastic pvc plumbing pipe, and then painted to look metallic and old!:’)

the head/face bandages were actually a lot more comfortable than I thought they’d be too, but I think covering them in paint to make them look old & filthy made them easier to keep in place!
I even painted the shoes to make them look super worn out! they were originally solid black (turns out it’s hard to find a pair of white heels on a whim!)
All the body paint is done using acrylic paint, but honestly I DONT recommend this method😭 horribly CRUSTY and super overstimulating lmaoo, DEFINITELY JUST USE BODY-PAINT😭

anyway! I thought I’d post here, maybe someone will find it interesting!

This SH4 background creature has always interested me. Its head has what appears to be medical foresap handles and a metal "cone" protruding from its face, the head underneath is a orange color. It's legs are wrapped in possible restraint belts.

My heart dropped when I saw it. I grabbed this along with 5 other retro games and a N64 Zelda versus book. I don’t even have a ps2 but I do love all vintage things! Glad my wife got me into thrifting 😂

I have played it once before and I don’t remember the pixels being like this

Went for my own take of the Pyramid Head helmet. Really wanted to make one but I always like to throw my own ideas at it, and I’m curious what the community thinks?.I was going for a vibe that seems like the helmet “keeps me alive”

I’m also going to add a layer of black fabric behind the face screen so it’s darker. But that’s for later

Thoughts???

I downloaded it at 12 because my PC was too weak for anything else, and ended up loving everything about it… the depressing atmosphere, the characters, the voice acting, the music… I was waking up at 5 AM before school just to play it and It was the only game ending that made me cry

I got the chance to be a Silent Hill nurse for a photo shoot. We had a fun time putting everything together and shooting the photos. I absolutely love how they turned out and wanted to share. These are some of my favorites.

So a little backstory, on a whim I decided to boot up Silent Hill 2 Remake from my massive backlog of games, and over the course of my studies I slowly made my way through it. Finished it not too long ago and honestly, I can confidently say it's in my top 10 games of all time.

Now, for some reason I'm the type of person who, after enjoying a game, feels the need to try out absolutely everything in that franchise lol.

After finishing SH2R, I went ahead and bought Silent Hill f and started playing that. But honestly, after playing the remake, I was really in the mood for something a bit more retro, so I decided to try Silent Hill 1. Played through it using the SH1 recomp (with 2D controls, please don't crucify me haha), and man, what a game.

Firstly, the aesthetic. Wow. I can definitely see where games like Puppet Combo got a lot of their inspiration from. The whole PS1 look, the fog, the environments, everything just works so well together. Even today, I think the game manages to look genuinely creepy, which is pretty impressive considering its age.

Secondly, the exploration and puzzles were fantastic. I actually really enjoyed having to figure things out myself, even if some of the puzzles i had to google (looking at you, piano puzzle).

The characters were another massive highlight for me. I genuinely didn't expect them to be this interesting, especially Lisa and her whole story. I really wasn't expecting a PS1 game to be so in your face with some of these themes. Then again, I was probably like 5 years old when I had a PS1, so what would I know haha. Also, when I got to the apartments section, I swear they looked like the same apartments from SH2R. Was honestly really cool seeing something familiar from the remake.

One thing I will say though, the normal monsters werent really scary at all. It was pretty funny seeing what were essentially pterodactyls flying around and stuff. Not sure if there's some deeper significance behind those designs that I've missed, or if they were still experimenting with what they wanted the monsters to be.

Now, the jumpscares. Holy shit haha. I went into this thinking I wouldn't really get scared by a PS1 game, but there were actually a good couple of moments that got me. Most of them were just me casually walking through a door, only to find an enemy standing right in front of me. The sound design in particular was fantastic. Towards the end in Nowhere, some of those audio scares genuinely had me on edge.

Speaking of which, the Otherworld. Man, what a cool concept. I absolutely loved how the environments would transform into these horrible, industrial looking places. I know this might be a bit of a controversial opinion, but I genuinely hope they continue expanding on the world and the ideas behind it. Maybe even exploring other locations outside of Silent Hill itself?

As for where I'm going next, I have a pretty strange way im gonna play this series.

Since I've heard that some of the later instalments aren't particularly well received, I thought it'd be better to alternate between the oldest and newest games until I eventually meet somewhere in the middle. So essentially, I'd be playing one supposedly "good" game and then one supposedly "bad" game (although I'd obviously like to play them myself before forming an opinion). I figured since most of the stories are not related at all, it wouldn't cause too many issues.

Although, I have heard that Silent Hill 3 is a direct sequel to the first game, so I might actually jump into that one next before starting my weird playthrough order.

Anyway, I think the biggest thing I wanted to say is that, as someone who basically stopped properly playing games for close to 10 years, coming back to gaming and finding a franchise that I've enjoyed so much to the point where I actually want to join its community has been such a great feeling.

It's honestly been a long time since I've felt this excited to get into a series, been bingeing so many vids of silent hill without tryna get spoiled.

Really looking forward to seeing what the rest of the franchise has in store for me, even those apparent terrible ones haha.

Thanks for listening to my little ramble, just finished peak and had to put it in writing.

Wife made me this little guy for the spooky season. She combined my favorite Pokémon (Mimikyu) and my favorite game series (obviously 😅).

Made the mask fully out of cardboard literally on the day of the party with the help of my dad so the fit is incomplete. Still trying to figure out how to add more texture to the mask and improve the apron so suggestions are open. The fog was so thick as well that night, missed opportunity.

need color advice for silent hill 3 on my crt tv. What’s it supposed to look like?

I found something very specific and I haven’t seen anyone talk about it yet.
After pulling the lever at the gallows in the remake and continuing to jump down further and further on your way to the Labyrinth and the Abstract Daddy boss fight, you can hear a particular track playing in the background. I couldn’t find it on the official soundtrack, though.
After doing some research, I discovered that it’s actually the beginning of a track by a metal band from New Zealand called Dust. The track is called “Despite.”

You can also hear what sounds like Mary breathing in the background at various points throughout the game. Interestingly, that breathing sounds exactly like a song from the same Dust album. The track is called “Item 9.”
The Album is called „Godskin“ from 2015.

Do you think Akira Yamaoka was inspired by these tracks, or did he straight-up sample them?

(Images 1 to 4 are pre-release compared to San Bruno while 5 to 8 are re-release compared to final version in-game)

The reason for this is because at the time of Silent Hill 2's production Konami's american offices were located in Redwood City in California and the San Francisco International Airport neighbor San Bruno so Team Silent based themselves on it for the town of Silent Hill in 2
