nobody in the world liked homecoming though
Homecoming had its moments and I don't regret playing it, but yeah I wouldn't recommend it at all; and I'm someone who liked Origins and thinks Shattered Memories was a worthy successor to the original trilogy in its own way.

I still need to play through Downpour.

That sounds really loving terrible.

The opening theme was literally performed by Korn and one of the original enemy concepts were a bunch of twisted clowns in prisoner uniforms.

In a different series or in a different context maybe but having to deal with people who seem to think Silent Hill is everyone's personal evil therapist for years made it incredibly stupid.

Also even the enemies that the game released with loving suck they're all weird MMA enthusiast monsters. That's not scary.


this guy? big kickboxing fan.

The game's own Pyramid Head (uggghghghhhh) is the 999 villain with a sledgehammer and he's literally named "boogeyman".

there are many stupid ideas in downpour but yeah the korn theme is a good way of telling the player that their experience is going to be retarded before it even begins. i think it has a few cool setpieces though which like i said is more than i can credit homecoming with

the orphanage stageplay is cool for example

the funniest thing about homecoming to me is that the devs thought people would see the trucker from origins in the opening and be super happy to see him and psyched up that they remembered SILENT HILL LORE

also that they pull the IT WAS ALL A DREAM twist like twice but if you pause the game it lists your location as NIGHTMARE so, uh, good job

this is the goofiest and dumbest part of the game and also was stolen completely from Condemned

Downpour's minecart ride ends with a big spooky face yelling at you its a loving haunted house ride.

This is technically incorrect, you find out the hospital at the beginning is a dream when you save the game and it lists your location as nightmare.

Daniel Licht is a good composer and his score was pretty darn good. The game also has more than a few licensed tracks though and they're the most on the nose loving choices in the world.

respawning enemies ramps the overall fear up so high for me. you lose any prospect of being safe at any time, because that area you just went through has been repopulated and also one of them is coming towards you from behind.

Exactly. My best friend and I played it back in the day instead of HL and we were huddled around the old 15inch CRT with his awesome Altec Lansing speakers growing more and more terrified everytime we could hear the zombies calling "join us".

Good lord I still shudder when I see Xerxes face or "Remember citadel"!

It's about 20-40 hours I think. It's pretty great because there's definitely a risk reward system and the character crawls pretty fast for it not to be grueling. But any time you want to run, you know that's going to trigger the alien, so you better be sure you have something to counter the alien or a way to close the door before it gets you.

The key to making a good video game movie is to not make it about an actual real video game, for example Edge of Tomorrow and Scott Pilgrim
