    Ok, I can now offically say that I am going to get nightmare from just seeing the screenshots of the game :-)

    To tell the truth, I have never played any of the Silent Hill games, (got into Resident Evil first... I think I am regretting it now) but I think this new game seems interesting enough for me to want to play.

    I just hope the controls in this game are not like Resident Evil 1. I can't stand having "left" and "right" just rotate your character. You should be able to move while turning. *sigh*

    It's good to see the PC version release of a game sometime near the console release.

    One thing from the article:

    In addition, a key feature of the PC game is that players will be able to save the game at any point during play, as opposed to using the red save points found in the console version.
    Am I the only one that views this as sort of a non-feature? Maybe it is just my console-at-heart attitude, but i think having only pre-determined save points adds to the degree of challenge to the game. You know if you die, you have to go back and do stuff over..adds an element of risk to a game. Going through and finishing a game is more rewarding...instead of effectively playing the game in some sort of slow motion by saving every 2 seconds.
  3. This game put me on my ear. by immanis · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Silent Hill is, easily, the scariest game I've ever played. The first one was so good, I had to have the second one, though I was afraid to play it. It's the only game I've ever played that made me NOT want to push the button to see what happened next. It's also the only game that has ever gotten my heart pounding in my ears without the use of multiplayer. At one point, I had to save and walk away because it was 3:00am, I was playing alone in the dark, and I just couldn't go on.

    Ok, so now I sound like a wuss. But I LIKE being immersed in a game. And Silent Hill sucks you in. If you let it.

    Someone mentioned Resident Evil. Resident Evil is to Silent hill like, oh, Resident Evil: The Movie is to The Ring. It's like comparing biting into an apple and finding a worm, vs biting into an apple and watching the apple bleed warm, thick blood. It's like reading a Goosebumps novel at recess vs reading an HP Lovecraft story in the middle of the woods in New England at midnight on All Hallow's Eve over a black candle.

    Man, I have two words for people who don't understand Silent Hill:

    Zombie Babies!

    That was one game that really gave an inspiring "Jesus God, Get me the hell out of here I'm gonna die!" feeling to me. Immediately after playing the first one I was walking around an almost empty underground tunnel in the NYC subway and my wheeled luggage started making a noise JUST LIKE that damn radio in the game.

    PC port good. I have the PC Silent Hill 2 and it looks sweet thanks to all the high-end parts I shell out for...
