I haven't played any of the Silent Hill but isn't it a series that couldn't be more different from Del Toro and Kojima's movies/games if it tried?

Could still be entertaining though.

Pan's Labyrinth really isn't too far off from being a silent hill movie.

on one hand i don't expect anything good from silent hill anymore, on the other hand the big names attached to it have me intrigued. the positive and the negative cancel each other out, and all knowledge of silent hill in my brain is annihilated in a perfect nullifying blast and i've already forgotten what this thread is about or for and i will never think of this game again.

the only silent hill game i've seen all the way through is shattered memories and that game was dumb as hell. i'm a baby irl so i get scared easily, and while shattered memories got me a bit creeped out at first that all went away the moment i realized there wasn't any danger except in the designated spooky zone, and even then all the tension vanishes when you are running around aimlessly trying to find where the gently caress the game wants you to be. the monsters weren't even scary, they were goofy as hell.

anyway the demo they put out for this seems to be infinitely scarier than shattered memories, so i'm probably never going play it. well, bye.

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone
getting lost in the insane nightmare loops in shattered memories was really cool and spooky

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
"Mama mia, thatsa' spicy monster!" Guillermo Del Toro pinches his fingers to his lips and kisses them noisily. "The hips'a and the tits'a and the lacka-da-face'a!"

Kojima peers over Del Toro's humongous round shoulders with eyes that are obliterated by his glasses. Although he says nothing, he gives the slightest of affirmative nods.

"This'a monsters gonna have'a eyes that you can toss'a round the level!" Del Toro continues proudly.

After a few moments, Kojima climbs into a cardboard box that their refrigerator came in, sits down, and closes the flap. Minutes later, the room reeks of human poo poo.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

Sure looked like an Italian when I saw him eating an entire x-large pizza by himself, once upon a time.

He went to the bathroom and was in there for twenty minutes. Then I overheard him trying to get a "whole can of Suet" put on top of a second pizza.

I hate that I'm excited for this.

Fixed, game is gonna be garbage. Last time Hideo Kojima tried to put subtle nuances in his video games it ended with a giant robot dinosaur driving itself into the sea to kill itself for no reason other than to satisfy the main character's symbolic ties to the stupid thing. There has not been a good Silent Hill game in many years and Guillermo Del Toro will not be able to fix that.

edit: I hold only pessimism for this crap so maybe it'll surprise me hopefully who knows

Try being optimistic for once, face that crushing disappointment head on instead of hiding beneath a veneer of "I've always known this game will suck" attitude. Guillermo can make some really creepy monsters and Kojima obsesses about detail obsessively, so the atmosphere and environment of this Silent Hill is gonna be great. Gonna poo poo so many pants, man.

Then again I haven't played most of the Silent Hill games after 4.

p.t. spooked me and the future wife. i hope that they can make it run at 60 fps and that the camera movement's sluggishness is not in the final game. obvs this is some super pre-game poo poo. but boy that looked good. it sounds like they have a solid shitlord protragnist plot for the game, i just hope it doesn't go slendaman or amnesia

The game was made to look and play worse so people would think it was just a small indie game.

I don't know all the details. It's some racist pedophile whom's mom got knocked down by a quote, "loving N-word" on a bus and he heard her yell for help and then he had to get therapy for his murderous racist ambitions. Or something like that. You probably still have an account on there so looking for "loving N****r".
