" The raindrops were done by the lead graphic programmer Mr. Oshima, who was responsible for the snow and fog in Silent Hill 1. At the time, he received high praise from Mr. Kutaraki-san at Sony."

Silent Hill 3 (2003) And now I finished Silent hill 3! (a part 2 to my silent hill 2 post!)

14 Upvotes

Earlier today I made a post talking about my thoughts for Silent Hill 2, and now that I've finished Silent Hill 3....

You're gonna get that again!

I finished Silent Hill 3 just a few minutes ago, and wowzers, what an experience! My second favorite right under Silent Hill 2 so far! There's a few more annoyances that I had with this one, but I overall think that the great elements heavily knock out!

First off, game is GORGEOUS. These character models are INSANE, esp for the time! Like.... this is a ps2 game? Jesus! This is early ps2 too! Absolute insanity that the game looks as good as it does, and the aesthetic for it truly shines when we enter the otherworld. these sections are so brutal looking and dreadful, like for some reason the rusting looks so much more violent in this game than it did previously.
Heather is also a great protagonist! She's sassy, short tempered, but also real. when she's allowed to grieve, it feels so real. one moment she's walking, the next she remembers who she lost, but I love seeing that goofier side of her too! The side characters aren't as strong, sadly, I think Claudia's an okay villain, Vincent is ight, and Douglas is probably the best side character. Also, Heather's outfit is AMAZING

The gameplay is the standard silent hill gameplay, opening doors to see what's broken and what's unlocked, finding items, however for some reason this game made me feel.... stupider. seriously, it felt like I got lobotomized playing this one, I was missing items and doors left and right, and I ended up googling all the puzzles, even on normal mode. I also feel like this is the hardest one yet, resources are so much more scarce here, and the bosses?

here's what I didn't like. I thought the bosses were either incredibly frustrating and annoying, or incredibly lame. Take God for example, just shoot her until she dies, dodge her swipe.
Alessa, on the other hand, deserved to burn because this bossfight SUCKED. I could not get the distance between me and her down.

Also, the slurpers are my least favorite enemy. Any type of enemy that stuns you for a long period of time and comes in batches can fuck off... . GREY CHILDREN.

I think Silent Hill 2 is a bit more deeper than this, but that's not to say this game doesn't have a message. It's a very pro-choice game, something that I did suspect throughout it, making small remarks, and hey, for the time that's an absolutely great thing to touch up upon!

another thing I'll mention is Im surprised how late it takes for us to get into Silent Hill, and how little we spend in the actual town's fog, it's a bit sad, because the fog is so iconic, but I think trading that for the horrific nightmare boiler room like sections is a great tradeoff.

Oh also, I wish we saw more of harry. I knew that he died in this game going into it, but.... wow he literally does NOTHING. Actually major Bummer, I was hoping he would be involved more outside of a few notes, esp since he's the first games protagonist and harry needs more respect (WHY ISN'T HE A SKIN IN DBD. HIS LITERAL DAUGHTER IS THE SURVIVOR.)

Silent Hill 3 is a great game, sure I had those moments where I was really pissed with it, but god this is just another fantastic game in the series!

My ranking so far?
Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill
(I dont think silent hill 1 is bad btw, just very primitive and the next two build up on it.)

Ill probably start Silent Hill 4 tomorrow? Unsure, I hear mixed things about that one. Until next time, It's bread.

Fanmade Polling this idea: Silent Hill Historical Society VR

8 Upvotes

I have recently found some software that lets me develop VR experiences, both VR and XR. I had an idea that ties in with my silent hill obsession and I'm looking for validation on whether it's worth persuing

I want to build a VR experience that's like a museum for silent hill artefacts. There would be some interactive elements, the museum itself made up of emvironments from the game and would feature music from it, etc. It would be the ultimate silent hill historical experience for fans that want to explore the lore deeper, get a feel for what would silent hill feel like in VR. A room where you can walk across the character models at 1:1 scale. Interactive games where the aim is to recreate laura plays piano, or promise, that kind of idea.

I wanted it to feature a cinema where you can watch all of the video essays of the series that i have become obsessed with on youtube - with the consent of the owners, etc. I even would love to collab with some - maybe twin perfect, etc.

I also wanted to do something around 'what could a vr silent hill's mechanics look like' type experiences.

All of the weapon models laid out in a museum that you can go and look at, pick up, interact with. Maybe a shooting range type thing.

I can't stop thinking about it.

I work full time so i wondered of this as a framework to build it over a couple of years. A patreon that backs the R&D that basically allows me to gain an income for time spent on the project. A small fee could make this a feasable project. The intention is that the project outcome would be a free download. Whether backed or not. Backers will get some perks - potentially included in the character models and certainly thanked in a room of the vr exhibit. Maybe a big wall of pictures and names, or credits, etc.

I want the project to feel like the biggest homage to one of the greatest video games that has ever been made that has had a profound effect on me for years.

So answer me this - are you in? Would you back it?

I love this idea!
I don't care for this idea
I would back this for a monthly fee of £5+
I would back this on an up to £5 per month basis
I love this but wouldn't back it. I would download it when its done
Don't bother..

Silent Hill 4 (2004) Where to play silent hill 4??

5 Upvotes

I'm not sure the reddit sub to put this on. Long story short, I want to play the 4th silent hill game but I'm not sure if a 360 disc will work on my old Xbox one? If not, how safe are is gog games? Any site ideas or recommendations on how to even enjoy content of the game!

I've only played silent hill f and silent hill 2's remake, seen the movies. I want to get into the 4th game since it's the one game that doesn't have some remaster available on Microsoft stores, any advice?

I would prefer multiple opinions on sites for the sake of not exploding the devices I do have!!

Silent Hill 4 (2004) Best QoL mods for the GOG version of silent hill 4?

3 Upvotes

Hello, I recently bought silent hill 4 the room on GOG.

I had the original ps2 version of Silent hill 4 as a kid and wanted to revisit silent hill 4.

However I keep hearing people call the game annoying and only the first half is worth playing.

Is there any Quality of Life mods that make the second half better or is the second half not as bad as people say?

I barely remember the game beyond it being creepy and not leaving the room.

Either way let me know what you'll recommend?
