We needed a Japanese horror game. I hope the new Forbidden Siren game rumors are true too

>A teenage girl struggling under the pressure of expectations from her friends, family, and society. Cheerful and energetic as a child, she's grown to become much more restrained, and now hardly smiles.
What will be her story?

>>713345457 (OP)
I do. It looks good.

>>713345457 (OP)
Silent Hill characters generally aren’t designed to be attractive. Even Heather looks like a meth head, and Maria looks like a trashy street walker.

The monster design are cool looking but I don't find them very scary
though maybe they are scarier when you are playing

>>713345949
Is this a Squid Game prequel?

>>713345457 (OP)
They want the American audience (it won't work)

I'm not sure if the game will have a cult focus or a personal story focus

>>713346078
very downpour. aka slop

>>713346185
Nah, Downpour monster design not only wasn't scary but it also was very generic, at least the f monsters looks pretty original

>>713346238
nah blud. it's very reminiscent of downpour & origins

>A childhood friend of Hinako's, they still call each other "partner," just like when they were kids. Forward-thinking for the time, he doesn't see anything wrong with friendships with the opposite sex, and treats everyone alike. His family have been physicians for generations, leaving him knowledgable about various medicines and treatments.
I get the feeling this dude is hiding something, though maybe all characters of the game will and it will be a theme? Though they did say a lot that the theme of the game is "finding something that's both beautiful and horrifying" so I don't know where it will go

>>713345729
It's literally just insane cancer with flowers.
>>713346180
Every game had a personal story focus. The cult is the story equivalent of Mary's cancerAIDS.

>>713346812
Funny coming from a stupid fucking phoneposter.

Why is one of the enemy a weird naked-looking doll lady?

I honestly can't wait for it. Finally - proof that japanese devs wouldn't do a better job than western ones. Proof that the only reason the series was as good as it was is because the time and palce it was made in. Short Message and this.

>>713346881

Fighting these in the old library/archive area was actually kino. Also the giant bat thing that could jump down from the ceiling was really good too. It was the prisoners and the other human enemies that sucked the most. But downpour I feel had a pretty good atmosphere overall shame it never got a pc port because it ran like shit on the Xbox 360.

>Got contracted to make the RE7 Chris DLC

You better hope they got better SHcucks

>>713345729
The monsters in the series have never had a set form. They appear differently to each person and there's no solid answer about what the fuck the otherworld even is. One of my favorite pet theories is that, since it's a projection of one's mental state, one who's wracked with guilt or resentment would naturally experience it in a hellish, hostile way, while the cult in 1 and 3 would've been free from all doubts and guilt, as every atrocity they committed was considered God's will. Going to the otherworld is a rapturous experience for them and carries a price for everyone else.

>>713347495
I think it's their first real big game so they might have more time and budget here

>>713346717
Yeah, he just looks like TLOU zombie. The doll thing is my favorite so far.
>>713345805
I wouldn't go that far, but she looks fine. It's the same song and dance we went through with SH2 remake's Maria. Judging by 4chan's reaction, you'd think we got a goblino tranny, and not a somewhat above average slav chick.

>>713347528
This projection idea only came from 2. And in 3 they added this to retain some of the mystery since the human cult was not very scary knowing people are behind it all. Silent hill always was a shitty rip off of better ideas stuck together and without certain things thought through because of it. This series does mood well and really that is about it if you look at it objectively.

She looks like a mom wearing her old school uniform retard.

>>713347732
the game takes place in the 60s in a small rural town so realistically, people would look a little older as they would often be outside and without much skincare products. People generally looked older in the past.

>>713347601
I am hoping they see it as their big chance to prove themselves. Personally a little disappointed the game is melee-combat only but it is what it is.

at least it kind of make sense since it's in Japan and at a time where the country was even more demilitarized, so firearms would be a pretty rare thing to find.

The obvious route is diddled. The slightly more abstract route is "metaphor for the anxieties of growing up and entering the adult world". Likely route is "ancient magic curse passed down through the lineage of her family".

Screencap this. I know my hack horror.

>>713348124
no need to rub it in, anon
that hurt

>>713347963
Spoilers. From the ratings board, no firearms are mentioned. I always assumed they'd justify a SH staple like a hunting rifle as a weapon an ojii-san hunter would have a permit for in a rural village for her to take and a revolver from the local police station. Ah well, my fault for dreaming.

>>713345775
Yeah but they all had pallad dumpling skin with blood, this is way too busy and colorful
Closest analoge would be the cancer and that was all mostly one color

>>713348354
this is just hopium but maybe they're only referencing the melee weapons in the ratings because of the gore

The game synopsis
>In 1960s Japan, teenager Shimizu Hinako lives in the small, remote town of Ebisugaoka, nestled in a mountain pass. An average teen, she passes the time with nothing particularly special about her life. Until, that is, a deep fog descends on Ebisugaoka, and everything Hinako knows crumbles as she finds her once-familiar home infested with spreading danger, the town empty except for the horrors teeming in the fog. Now, as she navigates the twisting paths of Ebisugaoka, Hinako must solve puzzles and fight for her life in her struggle to survive. Her struggle to reach the inevitable decision that must be made. And her struggle to put an end to that which must be slain. Will she choose to embrace elegance and beauty?Or will her path lead her to madness and horror... A story of impossible decisions, of the beauty in terror, and terror from beauty.

>>713346041
They had a good excuse for a shitty dei gook whale femc and yet they made her cute instead, I'm honestly impressed, the game will be good.

>>713346041
You take that back. Heather is precious.

I do

She's not even ugly. There's a difference between an average representation, and I think she's 7/10 above average anyway, and deliberate SBI-style uglification.

>>713346414
Clearly you haven't seen a nudoom enemy because they're all recognizable and not just blobs with random shit growing out of them.

>>713347601
They also made the MP game that comes with RE 3 remake, apparently it was decent?

>>713346041
Heather is probably the most realistically cute character Japan has ever produced. Like they made her cute without turning her into an anime moeblob.

>>713345671
>>713345729
He looks cool whats the fuckin problem?

>>713349292
It was though it had a pretty short life, they also made RE:verse though which sucked. But I don't know if they struggled to make the games on their own or if Capcom screw them up, f looks considerably more polished than these works

>>713345949
Probably gonna be the most relatable character for the Japanese public thus far

>>713346041
This is true too. After SH1, an effort was put in to make characters look like normal people. I remember watching a documentary about the making of SH2, and how much effort was put into giving Maria imperfections. Blotches of darker skin pigmentation on her chest and hands, a small roll of flab on her tummy, brown hair roots growing out... It was a fine line they managed to walk, adding realism without making the characters look visually unappealing.

she's not ugly but she's also not attractive. she's just too bland imo and looks like generic asian school girl #9917384. heather for example has personal in her appearance that makes her stand out, this new character you'd lose track of in a school photo.

I don't think the enemies look very scary.
They look like Nioh enemies

>>713346078
The symbolism here is obvious. It used to be common practice in Japan and other Asian countries to bind the feet of young women to keep them small, often disfiguring them. I wouldn't call it a "feminist" vibe to the game, simply because that conflates what it's trying to express with western vanities and bourgeois moralizing, when the thing it's talking about is a little more real than that crap is.
>>713348629
>Will she choose to embrace elegance and beauty? Or will her path lead her to madness and horror... A story of impossible decisions, of the beauty in terror, and terror from beauty.

The pursuit of beauty itself can often be a toxic, even fatal, thing. The entire story might be about Shimizu coming to terms with some aspect of her physical appearance that she doesn't like.

>>713349648
She actually looks pretty close to her actress?

>>713349657

I want to see it
I'm buying it

>>713349648
UE5 skin shading aside, it's the hair. Her hair in the irl pic frames her face very pleasantly.

>>713345457 (OP)

>>713349648
Actually looks close to her irl look. Probably because Western actresses are caked up with 10 layers of makeup.

>>713345457 (OP)
What are the odds it has as many nuances as the old games when it comes to what endings you get? Shit like looking at the knife in James' inventory too long, stuff like that.

>>713349648
>actress is a cute adult woman
>MC in official art looks like a cute teenage girl
>In-game model looks like an old hag

what the FUCK

>>713349606
I'd argue that the characters who are supposed to be considered attractive should be designed with that in mind. Start with the hot baseline, then tweak it with normal imperfections that every person has. They could have gone overboard and made her into a crack hoe, or conversely, gave her an extremely generic and forgettable doll-like design. That's the line.

>>713348629
sound like slop

>>713349896
could be, the game does look like it plays like some old game. I'm saying this respectfully, but like compare to the SH2remake, and it looks a lot less modern with how it plays, but it might be on purpose

>>713350231
>I only played silent hill homecoming as a kid, so I'm out of the loop.
Don't worry, most silent hill fans are only familiar with the old games from youtube. It won't stop them from pretending, or spewing their retarded opinion as fact.

>>713350231
First of all, I'm sorry that happened to you. Secondly, it's a mix between people whining about the protagonist not being hot enough, and people being upset that a Silent Hill game is set an ocean away from Silent Hill. Debatably in a time period before the otherworld as we know it even existed.
Mind you, it's not the first time that a SH game had a segment outside of the town, but it was always somehow linked to the town's influence in one way or another.

>>713350231
Longtime fan here, I have no problem with it. This is probably just two or three vocal dudes trying to stir up shit where there is none to stir.

The most contentious thing about this game is that it doesn't actually take place in or around Silent Hill.

>>713350231
You are the reason it has nothing to do with Silent HIll and focus on action. Its made for dumb zoom zooms who think the series started with Homecoming

The protagonist is incredibly ugly. The monster designs aren't scary, at all. So that just leaves the story and the gameplay to keep it together. I don't know why the horror factor is off for me, I can't play Fatal Frame in long bursts because how unnerving and anxious they make me. But seeing every trailer I couldn't help but laugh.
>AHH IS THAT A TEENAGER GIRL LOOKING MONSTER? I'M SCARED AAHHH
Hahahahaha, okay. But like I said I'm willing to give it a chance if it has super good gameplay like Silent Hill 1 and 3 before it. There's no way her character can match Heather in attractiveness, though, never gonna happen.

Silent Hill Teaser is sent in Germany/Poland. That's the first person free demo that makes you walk around in a circle. You know, the rivoting gameplay of Kojima Hack PT. The type of gameplay that makes zoomers shit their pants, going in circles horror game without any actual gameplay. I don't' really count it as a game. This is the first Silent Hill outside of America and it looks generic. Like Chinese devs trying to make Fatal Frame without the art direction.

This game better have some good ryona

The Resident Evil guy who founded his own studio eventually made this first person parkour game, Ghostlight? It flopped, the game used monk hand gestures to attack.

Yeah, the first Silent Hill games felt a Frankenstein's monster fusion of many American horror book tropes and some Japanese cult schizo writing. When Konami did their prideful ask developers segment for Silent Hill F they really thought the public was yearning for a non US Silent Hill game, lol. Example if you take Fatal Frame outside of Japan, it will be very dumb and pointless. Same with taking Fallout outside of America.

Konami about to get a financial bomb unless the gameplay is REALLY good and has an excellent story to make up for all the shortcomings such as the extremely generic and ugly looking protagonist.

the cult we see in f probably will be related to the order, either a branch that branched out, or that the order itself came from this. Or maybe it's like religions and both the order and this one are based on the same old legends but differently interpreted. They did say the game while standalone will have some nods and easter eggs for old fans.

I don't play games with ugly protagonists. Has nothing to do with masturbation like the third world and Chinese porn addicts making gambling casino threads. If Link looked like an overweight man I wouldn't own a single Zelda game. If Duke Nukem was an overweight man I wouldn't have played his games. In Doomguy was a trans woman, I would've burned every floppy disk of Doom 1 I could find in 1991. If the Fatal Frame girls were ugly I wouldn't have bought their games. If Ninja Gaiden Ryu looked like the Dustborn and Concord characters I wouldn't have bought the games.

Silent Hill F protagonist is ugly. You can bargain with me about average, but she is ugly. Pretty sure Yukiko and Chie in Persona 4 are in the countryside and they're both average looking girls like SH3 Heather. Average doesn't mean ugly, retard.

I like to think the town just react differently depending on the individuals or events.
though yeah, what fans believe can end up impacting things, at least with discussions online.
I recently so an interview with the guy who is making the movie adaptation of SH2 for next year, and he said that when he was making the game, he also looked a bit at how fans reacted, as he was a fan of the original game himself, but he realized some of his interpretations were different from how some fans saw things. So he got a bit worried some would reject the movie because they don't see things eye to eye. He still believed it was important for someone to stay true to what they think though, and apparently Yamaoka liked the movie so maybe it will be alright

The Otherworld is just an alternative dimension of Silent Hill that can be entered by people with trauma related to the town. It can also be entered or spread to other places by cultists or people with supernatural powers like Alessa or Walter. The look of the Otherworld dimension and the appearance of its monsters change based on the personal fears and trauma of the person who enters it.

Akira Yamaoka and Masahiro Ito said that their original plan for SH5 was about playing as a normal resident of Silent Hill who slowly enters the Otherworld throughout the game as they experience more and more tragedy in their daily life

Is this your confession?

"Silent Hill has open to interpretation". Yeah, because the town full of druggies and cults needs "open to interpretation". Fucking Silent Hill 2 tourists. The nurse from SH1, was she real? To the Silent Hill 2 """fan"" she is open to interpretation. She was a living person who died and got reanimated a pseudo zombie, the end. I don't need 200 hours of SH2 fanboy circlejerk essays. God SH2 was the worst thing to happen to this franchise, without a doubt. "Morally gray", lmao there's nothing gray about SH1 and SH3. It's pretty clear who the good and bad guys are, SH2 retards have to inject their cancerous walking sim lore into other Silent Hills where it doesn't belong.

It was in 1. All the monsters and areas come from Alessa's psyche. The school where she was picked on by other kids, the hospital she in after the fire. It's all projections of her trauma

>>713355674
huh, I always thought her arms were amputated.
>>713355962
It goes well with Dahlia's spiel at the end of the game.
>The time is nigh. Everyone will be released from pain and suffering. Our salvation is at hand. This is the they of reckoning, when all our sorrows will be washed away ... This is a God, descending among us to reach out and save us!
Also, the ritual of putting Alessa through immeasurable pain to summon it tracks well with how the original state of the world led to god being created for the first time.

>>713347652
I love the first 3 games to death, but every "lore explainer" is always a big reach and brings in outside elements like "well this interview from 2000 said this but it could also possibly be translated as..."

No, nothing is concrete and that's fine.

>>713356497
>the ritual of putting Alessa through immeasurable pain to summon it

There was no such thing. The ritual was simply one of impregnating Alessa. The boiler explosion and fire was an accident. You can find a news clipping about it in-game.

>>713356578
The explosion could be a cover up, an accident due to the ritual involving "a great deal of fire" according to official sources, or Alessa trying to stop what was happening with her powers. Either way, Dahlia explicitly states that god was nurtured by Alessa's pain.
Personally, I do believe she was intentionally immolated.

>>713356378
thanks

>>713355918
you gay

>>713356795
>Personally, I do believe she was intentionally immolated.

Shew wasn't. If you read the news article about the fire, only then can you also later on find an article on poltergeists, where it's explained they can be manifested via extreme emotions.

So the order of events given is clear:
>Alessa is psychic, mommy is a psycho.
>Decides to use her own daughter as a vessel for "god" (a demon).
>Undergoes the ritual which causes her immense stress.
>Her powers go haywire and cause the boiler explosion.
>This starts the fire and her subsequent immolation.

>>713352676

>>713357057
>>Fatal Frame outside of Japan

That's just the X-Files.

>>713356963
The thing is, all of it is open to interpretation. We can't be certain of anything other than the fact that Alessa had powers, and that Dahlia wanted to summon her god through Alessa. The exact details of what the ritual entails are obscure, besides the fact that it involved a lot of fire. This could range from a a bunch of candles being lit, to human immolation.

If Vincent is the one who made up all the lore, why does Claudia buy into it? She's well aware of what he is.

>>713357973
Leonard too, for that matter. The disagreement between father and daughter boils down to who deserves to usher in the new world.

>>713357973
Tbh Claudia is a very naive person, unlike Vincent who knew he was a giant bastard, Claudia genuinely was believing she was working for the good of the world. She's very much a victim of the cult herself despite her high position by the time of SH3.

The game writers is a faggot who loves trannies and lesbians, fuck this game.

>>713358415
anon what the fuck are you talking about

>>713357973
>why does Claudia buy into it

Because she's a brainwashed member of the cult, raised in it since childhood? The teachings sure as hell didn't include a prophecy of a group of heathens killing the mother of God, or even the mother being a central figure of worship, and yet there it is in SH3.

>>713358472
Vincent is younger than she is, and she's aware that he's a scumbag. She only tolerates him because he does good work for the church with his finances. If he is the creator of the Order's allegedly new belief system, I'm sure that the old heads and Claudia would have more than a few questions. Not to mention that the lore he allegedly created is in conflict with his interest to continue rolling in money and enjoying the world as it is.
>The teachings sure as hell didn't include a prophecy of a group of heathens killing the mother of God
Now that IS the part that got added between two games to explain why the ritual failed. That doesn't mean that everything we read about their beliefs is also created in the 90's by some 20 year old. Like I said before, Dahlia was raving about god saving the world too. The way I see cult member's stances is this.
>Dahlia: *I* will summon God as the sole conjurer in *my* house, through *my* daughter, *I* will literally be blood tied to god. also the world is saved, which is nice, because everyone will bow down before MEEEE
>Claudia: There are refugees and shit, we need god to stop all the pain and save *everyone*. I will gladly go to hell to achieve this. Also, I am an emotionally stunted womanchild who can't deal with the randomness of life
>Vincent: God is real, but if she comes back, I'm so fucking fucked
>Leonard: God will only save us cultists, can't wait to see the heathens burn.
>Stanley: Damn, that holy mother painting really makes me shoot ropes
>Walter: god? I'm doing this to crawling back in the womb senpai. I literally have schizophrenia

>>713359621
Vincent feels like he got in to try scamming people and just got too deep to really be able to leave, so he's trying to take control of the situation because he is utterly fucked if not
Sometime I like about him is his design though, from afar he looks normal if not like a pretty cool dude, but then you close up and he has some almost rotten teeth, his skin is damaged, and his smile isn't him being nice, it's him being smug

>>713359859
I agree that Vincent's design is great. He's a great character in general. I just disagree that he created the Order mythos because Dahlia was saying the same shit Claudia did years later when Vincent was like nine years old.

most SH games set in the famous town or near it and now we go to japonnnnn??? If the place called Shizukesa no Oka or something I don't mind but I'm betting they gonna connect this with silent hill with the curse originated from japan and the order got the idea here. Something like that shitty lore rape Spencer saw a logo in romania and create the Umbrella Corp logo with it

>>713345457 (OP)
First time I've been interested in a Silent Hill game since Shattered Memories. Which was just another "Let's do SH2" western game. It looks like Siren instead of SH so far but Siren was also a great Japanese horror series so even if that's the case I don't see any reason to bitch.

>>713349683
There's absolutely nothing here that suggests foot binding.

>>713363215
Shattered Memories wasn't like SH2, Downpour was closer to that

>>713362487
Who's to the right of Heather?

>>713345457 (OP)

It's the only horror game in a very long time, that I'm actually looking forwards to.
Will buy day one, unless it gets denuvo.

>>713362487
>>713363484
Eileen my beloved

>>713363427
All western SH games are SH2 clones, Downpour is just even more explicit about it. They're all games where the town is a spooky extreme therapist that forces you to face your inner demons, instead of how it was in the original trilogy sans 2 where you're a bystander trying to survive a demon god being birthed into reality.

>>713363690
desu didn't SH1 had the monsters based on Alessa's psyche? and SH4 had monsters based on Walter's psyche. SH3 is the closest to what you are saying and it's partially still based on Alessa

Did anyone played it?

>>713363805
I can deal with the monsters being shaped by the protagonists psyche, I just don't like that Silent Hill is calling emotionally damaged people to put them through a dante's inferno trek through hell to achieve absolution or whatever. Leave that in SH2, it was unique there and special, and now every pleb thinks that's how the town works.

>>713347670
he's just messing with her. but the point he's actually making is that the creatures look like monsters to Heather (and by extension, us) because we're not members of the cult. to members of the cult, Valtiel is an angel, they would not be terrified of him, they would worship him.

but everyone is retarded and thinks that he's trying to imply the monsters are really people, but his joke has a double meaning.

>>713363643
Ok then I choose Mary, Maria, Heather and Eileen, all unshaved everywhere, and willing to marry me at the same time.

>>713362487
Cybil, Eileen, Heather, and Mary are the only girls who are actual wife material. Though Mary presumably comes with an expiration date.
The rest are either broken or children.

>>713364410
>Children
>Not wife material

>>713364410
I would take Cybil based on personality but I'm afraid she's just not hairy enough, seems like a natural pale blonde with very little body hair.

>>713345457 (OP)

I'm glad they made her average looking. No one wants spastic faggots shitting up discussions about every game with lewd images.

>>713363643
She is pregnant with Walter's reincarnation in the "Mother" ending. You cannot change my mind on this.

>>713364556
So instead they'll shit up threads bitching that she's ugly, because to them anyone less than 10/10 is ugly.

>>713363805
NTA, but in SH1 and SH3 the monsters were actually physical rather than being part of an alternate reality or being there "to punish".
The nurses and doctors in SH1 were actual nurses and doctors in the hospital with parasites in them, not manifestations. They were infected in the same way Cybil was. Nurses in SH3 are the same thing.
For example, the air screamers, mumblers/grey children, the split head lizard are just child stories that Alessa read. SH1 and 3's monsters were all pretty basic when it came to symbolism. Alessa didn't like some insects? Okay, insect monsters. But she also liked some insects, like moths so... moth monster anyway.
SH3 monsters actually had ZERO symbolism, were part of the real world, same as SH1. Leonard indeed looked like that, he was transfigured through cult rituals.
SH2 is the one that started with all the bullshit of "muh trauma".

This is not what is happening in Silent Hill 2. If this is what the other games have done (I haven't played them and they're trash so I don't care) then they misunderstood everything.
Silent Hill, much like the demon god that was summoned within it, thrives off of suffering, specifically ailments of the mind as it specializes in turning mind to matter. "The Town's call" is something that is only vaguely referred to and can be understood simply as the town being fucking evil and wanting to kill people or fuck people's heads to cause more suffering.
The town is magnetic to fucked up people with fucked up lives, but it's not like they just go there on a whim. James goes to Silent Hill to kill himself, Angela goes to Silent Hill to finish off her remaining family and die, Laura goes to Silent Hill looking for Mary and Eddie goes to Silent Hill because he's on the run. All the characters have some connection to the town or reason to be there beyond this vague "call" of the town (and Laura shouldn't even be "called" lol). And out of them all, only James and Laura find resolution... in one ending. James dies or condemns himself to further suffering in every other ending and Laura's situation is unknown outside of Leave.
The town isn't trying to teach any lessons, it's trying to drown James in his guilt at every turn. It's through his own will that he finds absolution. By accepting his sin, the town loses its grasp on him and he leaves. The town wins every other time.
This is all very in line with the rest of the series. It's an evil demon town that wants to kill people. 2 isn't different, people are just fucking stupid.

my hope is that it'll have those elements because why else would you place it in this location and at this time? also because the devs are Taiwanese these kinds of elements should stick out to them.

even though it's not in America you still kind of get that 'Silent Hill effect' of foreign developers interpreting another country, i'm hoping that element shines through.

>>713367553
It's ryukishi writing it so there will likely be social commentary, basically all of his stories have some of that in them. I'm sure his ass has plenty of opinions about imperial Japan if Rose Guns Days was any indication.

How is critique on imperial japan received these days by the masses over there?
I know they still hide/deny the rape of Nanking, shit that happened in Manchuria and shit like that, but are they starting to come around on shit like the US has come around in the Vietnam war?
i say the vietnam war, but it was still famously a very unpopular war state-side
I'm basically interested to see how they actually handle it.

>>713367989
Ryukishi is a bland semi-revisionist boomer. He's smarter than the average Jap that doesn't even know what a WW2 is, but he's still all in on the empire having been a general "good thing."

Try it. I hate almost all things about AI trends but this is amazing

>>713366327
This. I hate how secondaries who never played SH2 and only watched youtube videos of it think the town is benevolent and give each character a chance to redeem themselves when it's the exact fucking opposite.

>>713368308
i'm honestly not sure, i'm not familiar with the history myself which is why the idea of the game exploring those ideas is interesting to me.

>>713369108
you're half right, but after the ritual in SH1 the influence of the cult's demon god taints the town to be evil. SH2 is basically that influence/power run amok with no one to control it anymore, which is why it seems to be calling people like James, Angela and Eddie to it.

>>713369260
I'm personally not convinced that the cult's god is any different from other monsters the town manifests. But I do believe that the combination of Alessa's pain and psychic powers tainted whatever was there before. The other tragedies in the town probably didn't help either.

>>713365068
There is no “alternate reality” in silent hill.

>>713359621
Your opinion goes in the trash because there’s not such a thing called “the order” in silent hill.

>>713369693
the town didn't begin manifesting creatures until the cult performed the ritual with Alessa and brought their demon god into the real world. weird stuff used to happen there all the time because it was a paranormal place, but nothing like what we see in the games. (in SH4 i think there's an article about a guy who climbed up a ladder and disappeared into thin air afterwards, stuff like that used to happen in the town)

but yes Alessa's pain+the demon god's influence is what taints the power of the town to be explicitly malevolent and feed off of suffering.

>>713355962
You didn’t pay attention to the dialogue in SH1.
Or 3 for that matter.

>>713369108
>>713368817
>force behind the town

There was never any force behind the town in SH1. It was explicitly all Alessa being psychic and manifesting the stories she was fed as a kid.
SH2 really ruined the lore with its bullshit.

>>713353882
You guys don't understand that this 6/10 japanese plain Jane is my most desired look in women. The short hair and pleasing face make my neurons kick into overdrive.

>>713370241
yes there is, the games talk extensively about how the town had a spiritual power and paranormal things happened there all the time and the games only happen due to the cult's demon god using Alessa's power to interact with/taint the town's spiritual power.

>>713370331
In Silent Hill 1? No.

>A town that possesses a mysterious power, Silent Hill.
>At this time people everywhere in the town mysteriously disappear one after the other. Strange events take place at Toluca Lake (see: Toluca Lake)
>Sacred ground where Native Americans conducted mysterious rituals. Before settlers came from Europe, Silent Hill was a holy place. Even then, the land seemed to possess a mysterious power. They revered the town as "The Place of the Silent Spirits." However, they were driven away by settlers and had to abandon the town.
all this takes place at least 100 years before the events of SH1.

>>713366327
That would be all nice if not for the fact that the writer of SH2 outright said the "Maria" ending is not a bad one, and that she will live on as long as James's life sustains her.

>>713370537
That's SH2 lore, I'm talking about SH1.

>>713370646
Because the game was a financial disappointment on release, and sold less than half of what SH1 did?
Because it was absolutely lambasted by most of the fandom on release, especially the Japanese one, for turning a horror story about a demon cult into some depressing psychological schmaltz? And railed on by the Western fandom for completely plagiarising "Lost Highway?"

Wouldn't be a proper SH thread if it didn't devolve into arguing about the tenuous ass overarching plot they clearly made up as they went along.

when retarded losers on the internet are wrong they can't just shrug it off and move on they have to double down

>>713370805
Nigger, Dr. Kaufman in SH1 is completely surprised by the presence of monsters in the town. It's obvious by his reaction this is happening for the first time, and that's because the monsters can only be manifested due to Alessa's powers + the Seal of Metatron + the demon inside her creating the perfect cocktail for this to occur.

Why do people says Hinako looks old? her actress is 25 years old (so she was likely between 22 and 24 when they recorded the footage of the game)

>>713371189
dumb+wrong, already been discussed. scroll up and re-read the posts that already addressed this. D-, apply yourself.

>>713370048
I think he meant that independently of their cult of this god, there was/is no god at all to be brought into the real world, that was was just another phantom like grey children or air screamers. I think Alessa knows it all to be fake, but she unintentionally created a tulpa who warped shit so bad that it became real so she can't really turn it off and have to play by the rules of this new reality, with hacks like the seals, flauros and red goop. I think Dahlia knows this as well, she know it's all bullshit but also thinks her daughter could make it real

>>713371292
not same guy but huh? not really, not the same artist too

>>713370797
It's quite obvious they made it all up and didn't bother with consistency.
SH1 is all Alessa, there are normal people around the town, most were killed hence why the town is deserted.
SH2 wasn't even originally a Silent Hill game. The Silent Hill was just slapped on it mid development.
SH3 is all Heather being a conduit for the God in her.

>>713371189
He knows. He's just pretending we're not talking strictly about SH1 lore as it was.

>>713371238
i think it's just ESLs repeating the anti-woke script, every woman in a game is ugly on purpose because woke, etc. not denying that this happens but third worlders have just taken that script and are running it automatically without thinking, it's sad. kind of like how you have this insane cult surrounding the Zack Snyder superhero films made up almost entirely of Indians.

>>713371474
watchmen was decent

>>713371385
maybe, although SH3 explicitly names the cult's god and links it back to Aztec times as a being that was worshipped so i guess it depends on your definition of "god", whether it's a power scaling thing or whether or not it's an entity independently worshipped and truly exists. i personally believe the latter, that the blood+rust world (and its various permutations) is the realm that the god inhibits and is actually the place where there is no time or death that the cult's creation myth talks about.

>>713371459
>He's just pretending we're not talking strictly about SH1 lore as it was.

>>713371726
Yeah, that "I accept your concession" after bringing SH2 lore into SH1 discussion was pretty retarded.

The problem with communication here is that you view SH1 in isolation, and other posters accept additions to the canon from the games that came after it.

You're reminding me that Team Silent was working on Silent Hill 5. Before it was scrapped and replaced by the other games in the series.

P.S. By the way, I got a couple of AI pics to imagine the Silent Hill concept to what it may look like...

>>713372028
please don't post your slop.

>>713371858
No, but we're talking about SH1. When someone says "in SH1 the force behind the town", it means in Silent Hill 1, the game.
In Silent Hill 1 (the game) there is no "force behind the town" that is malevolent.

>>713371871
Don't bother. I was witness to a glorious thread a few days back when the coomers on here were shocked to discover that most Japanese women have brown nipples. They actually thought that the anime and manga women weren't 90% Caucasian with some Asiatic features thrown in.

>>713371871
that could be some of it too, there's a lot of coomer retards that are upset that every single woman in a game isn't a stacked super model. but like if that's the case just go back and play games from the 2000s, almost every woman in a game back then had huge tits and wore bikini armor.

>>713372140
Yes, if one views SH1 in isolation, the town is dead, destroyed by Alessa's powers going haywire due to "god's" impending birth. Other games elegantly retconned this by introducing concepts of manifestations and other dimensions.

>>713372152
What's wrong with brown nipples?

>>713372614
i guess in the porn they consume women only have pink nipples so that's their ideal, anything that deviates from that isn't arousing to them and to them women only function as a means for them to achieve arousal

>>713372410
It is in isolation because it is a video game.
It is not "the town of Silent Hill" or Silent Hill overall lore, it is "in SH1", which is a video game.
Youtube essayists are such weird people treating video game lore as if it was history.

>>713372614
>>713372673
That's because only white women have pink nipples and they're considered more pretty and attractive.

So of course 99% of women in manga and anime have pink nipples. Co weebs and coomers thought actual Japanese women do, as well.

>>713372829

>>713371637
For me, these old worships and cults are important to the idea of entities/gods created in the human mind, maybe as unintentional/independent tulpas in non-bicamerals/schizos, which is not a issue per se, but a pretty big fucking deal with a literal Scarlet Witch tier mind, who can then poke holes in reality itself, warping and creating bubbles behind the veil, infecting it with human thoughts and ideas (and human-like inhuman god-like tulpas), which in turn make it populate itself with matter conforming to the human observation from a chaotic state of energy formerly non-existence (kinda like pocket-dimensions/backrooms, where shit seems to not make sense, but actually do in the cosmic grand scheme of things).
Couple this with innumerable previous happenings of a anomalous spacetime interacting with the (super)human psyche, creating a massive seemingly chaotic but self correcting background reality hive mind (mindless) network.

gods/realms made real by human psyche+spacetime anomalies, which for me is 1000x more demonic than any real inhuman god/demon could ever be

Speaking of the remake, I didn't hate it. It did some cool things here and there. I liked the monster variations and the change of pacing after meeting Maria at Rosewater. But goddamn did most of the areas overstay their welcome. The thing with horror is that you do get desensitized after awhile. Something that Blooper doesn't seem to get.
Also, I didn't like some minor characterization changes.
>James suggesting he and Angela run away together instead of being zeroed in on finding Mary like an absolute madman.
>Laura being overly friendly to James at the hotel. She wasn't just being a playful kid in the original, she genuinely hated the guy. The only reason she called truce in that scene was because she was losing hope in her ability to find Mary on her own.
>Angela in general seemed more meek. In the original game, there was almost always a slight tinge of menace to her, like she could flip at any moment. Remake Angela doesn't seem capable of murder. Also, I didn't like how she seemed excited when James told her he was happy to see her. What's that about? She's supposed to be deeply distrustful of men. OG one would probably take that comment as James making a move and react aggressively.

yeah and i think it was all formed in a way that either one of us could be correct, i don't think they had a set answer themselves either necessarily, they were incorporating occultism into the game but they weren't adherents themselves. the fact that human belief is capable of this kind of thing is more the point than explaining it.

>>713376832
as someone that's never played this guy's games before what should i expect going in to Silent Hill f?

>>713376975
i think it was only good because it was built on the bones of SH2 and they had Masahiro Ito practically babysitting them the whole time. i think the SH1 remake will be similarly okay provided Ito is just as involved, but there's little doubt in my mind that if they were tasked with making a fully original title without any oversight from Konami or Team Silent oldheads it would be as mediocre as all their other games.

also the game was way too focused on combat, so you had little time to really soak in and enjoy the vibe the game had. probably my biggest complaint about it and biggest worry for Silent Hill f. the nightmare sequence after the hospital in the town was visually and atmospherically great but it was hard to really enjoy it and soak it in when there were fucking mannequins around every corner, those get old fast.

>>713376975
>Also, I didn't like some minor characterization changes.
I was the opposite. I think overall it added depth to the characters.

>James is much less of a deadpan autists and shows care and concern for the others despite still trying to find Mary
>Eddie got way more characterization and you can see his gradual descent into madness unlike in the original where he's just a schizo
>Laura is more realistic now since she never had a good reason to hate James in the OG anyways. Seeing him be a nice guy who's only try to save her and find Mary made her reconsider him, a sign of a smart and emotionally mature girl like she is

The only downgrade I feel is Maria, and that's mainly because she's so fucking ugly compared to Mary there's no way James would ever be tempted.

I don't know how you're getting these descriptions. I took the same images from the wikia page and it spat out more clinical descriptions.

>>713380141
Eddie is great in the remake, I agree that his characterization was improved. That scene when he put down the ice cream when James made (in his mind) an innocent comment actually tugged at my heart strings. As for Laura, she has a reason to hate James. For one thing, James doesn't know her, meaning he wasn't visiting Mary for a year that she and Laura were friends. She's a smart kid, she understands that's fucked up and that it makes Mary sad. I liked James too. That scene with the whiskey was very well done. My only gripe is that he would even consider leaving the town without Mary.
As for Maria, I actually really liked what they did with her in the remake. She's fighting for her life, using every opportunity to lure James away from his goal, trying out every manipulation tactic in the book. And in the other park, I forget its name, we see the romantic side to her that we only really get to see in the Born from a Wish scenario. My only complaint is that the voice actress flubbed the prison scene.
>>713380201
Dang. I was kind of hoping to read AI say some fucked up shit about how it would fuck a rape victim.

>>713380898
The main "issue" with Maria really isn't the new scenes, it's more the voice actress being inferior to the original, the others are good alternatives even if different but Maria just isn't as good, same for Mary (I'm not saying she is bad though, she actually is pretty good, but it was going to be hard to do as good as the original who really poured her heart into it)

>>713367989
>>713368308
Higurashi is very popular in Japan and a main subtextual theme is the lingering damage both inflicted on and inflicted by imperial Japan. Hinamizawa Syndrome only thrives in the 80s because the WW2 left the elders traumatised. Their paranoia seeps into the dam project, which in turn increases the syndrome level from a dormant L1-2 to a more active L3 for many characters we meet over the course of many loops.
Umineko goes even further in exposing some of the horrible stuff Japan was doing during the war and it is less popular however it still has a manga, anime, and theater production (that's still ongoing).
So I don't think it's a taboo subject in fiction.

On the other hand it seems to really like SM's young versions of Dahlia along with the real Dahlia

i agree but the original performance is 10/10, completely perfect, there's no way to improve or match it so i cut the actress a lot of slack. at least she actually gave a shit and had some reverence for the game unlike Mary Elizabeth McGlynn who just phoned in all her HD Collection performances and spent the whole time shit talking the original team.

Ah, let me guess, you read the story literally?
Here's a hint. Think about how Kinzo made his wealth. Think about what he does to his daughter. Think about the epitaph solution. Any historical commentary popping out at you yet?

The new girl is good, but she didn't hit the landing at the two most crucial scenes. The prison, and the letter reading. If she did those amazingly, but fucked up some other scenes, I wouldn't be complaining

already sounds a million times better than any of the western SH games

Slow pacing is an understatement but i must confess that higurashi chapter 1 is my favourite work of fiction ever, the rest of the story is worse but chapter 1 is such a chilling mystery to read even after understanding what happens

Oh god, don't remind me. I never would have guessed she was such a cunt.

>Hinamizawa Syndrome
I completely forgot about that.

Can we expect Silent Hill to do something similar?

>>713382241
making it into like a RE4 thing where everyone in the town has a Silent Hill parasite? sounds kind of dumb, i hope not. then again they were already pushing this idea of a "Silent Hill phenomena" where people kill themselves in the fog for no reason or whatever so i expect that's canon going forward.

Will there be voyager witch cameo?

Silent Hill is All American not this chopsticks shit

I think she really wanted to be more subtle but she was a bit too much
she did REALLY good for the hallway dialogue after the twin pyramid boss fight though, same for the dialogue before the boss fight

>>713381709
Also expect: unreliable narration, mental illness, child abuse and every character having a dark secret.

>>713374024
her proportions are all fucked up

Is this link still working for anyone else?

>same for the dialogue before the boss fight
Especially in the Maria ending. There was some real hurt there.
She's talented for sure, but the two scenes I mentioned really needed another take.
