So I finished my walkthroughs of the original Alone in the Dark trilogy in the wiki and I plan on finishing the character sheets. But I'm on a cruise so my time is limited.

The 2010 game is better.

I'm out of the loop, why is mouse-ashley a thing? she likes chesse or something

>>541572357
It’s just a meme that caught on pretty much out of nowhere when the game released. It was a twitter post that drew her as a mouse that started it.

>>541562080
I don't get the "mousely" meme at all

>>541572357
>>541573926
in part it's because og ashely had fucking huge ears, like a mouse

Is Alan Wake really AAA? Control felt AA as fuck.

>>541582952
Alan Wake 1 at release was definitely a AAA game.

This or Cronos The New Dawn?

>>541556598
It pains me they didn’t try to go for another game in that style and just gave us Hunting Grounds

So… I take it everyone is done with F at this point and ready to move on? Final verdict…?

>>541591157
Just finished the first playthrough and its good for weeavoo fags like you that eat shit and think playing the same shit over and over again is good (because you're autism like the characters in the game)

>>541595729
Very true but also, you're just a self-aware autist because you bought it and played it. You aren't a Chad Autismo like me who just skipped it because my pattern recognition only needs to see 3 consecutive similar events to determine a pattern.

>>541591157
Like most modern games, its meh, the older games were better this is for the newer fans if I'm being honest. I really do think video games are in desperate need of a paradigm shift at this point. Especially when there's a myriad of free games that are actually unique.

>>541596297
Fair enough because I am going to go for all the endings

>>541591157
From someone who has played every mainline SH at release since Playstation days, and replayed them many many times, F has quickly become my favorite of all time. I'm still in a sort of grieving phase now that it's over, it's not gonna get this good again in a long time.

>>541591157
Game was shit.

Honestly starts off really good, cool setting , and game was just fine up to the high school. That my god everything just turns to shit. There is no reason the majority of the game should have taken place in whatever dream world or whatever with wolf arms. It was so boring and a chore to get through. Why just ruin the game. It’s just weird and makes no sense and not interesting. Just make the game about 3 highschool kids escaping silent hill town, why even do that dumb jap horror shit of cryptic weird abstract horror that is not even scary. I’m surprised this game reviewed higher than a 7/10

>>541602735
Unironically the peak of the series were Japanese people trying to emulate USA rural mountain horror, a la Twin Peaks, and the moment they change the setting it all falls apart. It really shows you how influential Twin Peaks was on not only Japanese culture at large but how these mainstay franchises fall apart the moment they take them out of their original setting.

>>541591157
Combat was bad but you can avoid most encounters so who cares
Rest of the game was pretty good.
7.5/10

>>541602735
"dream world or whatever"? have you played any silent hill at all? all of them happen in a dream world for half of the game
>>541603784
the game is literally Japan rural mountain horror, play NG+
in a much stronger sense than any of the ones set in the US
I can understand westoids finding it hard to relate to japanese folklore mumbo jumbo, i find all the wacky names funny too. but that's not the game's fault

the very first reveal of the game years ago already told you it was gonna be japanese as fuck

>>541595729
calm down eslcuck

Was going to play Alan Wake 2 but then I saw that the story is almost a ripoff of Twin Peaks (specially The Return).

Is there any horror game that resembles Lynch while also being original ?
Apart from the Silent Hill games (I already played the first 4 games).

Every time this mf shows up I want to blow my brains out

AW2 cost €50 million to develop and another €20 million to market. That's EUROS just so we're on the same page here. According to the Wikipedia page it's one of the most expensive entertainment products Finland has ever produced. If that's not AAA then I don't know what is.

>>541618878

>>541624984
i just don't think that a game should spend 40% of its dev cost only on marketing. i think i'd rather that 40% get used for.....development

It's good. Don't let seething ESLs who haven't played it or are obsessed with the first 3 games (which they also haven't played) tell you otherwise.

What would sex with Hinako feel like?

>>541591157
A solid 8/10 as a standalone, downgrades to a 7.5 in the context of its franchise. Better when played with harder puzzles and easier combat, because the combat is pretty bad and enjoy replaying the game for endings.

>>541591157
I liked it.

Not whatever you're thinking about, Kotoyuki.

Tormented Souls is really not clicking with me. I just got up to the part where you find the dial key with all the shapes on it, and I completed all the tasks in those rooms I unlocked with it. 3 hours in. I think I am going to just stop playing the game. I find the atmosphere really boring, enemy encounters unexciting and poorly designed, story is not interesting at all to me. It's a shame because I've been looking forward to playing this for years. It makes me feel upset that I'm not enjoying it.

I don't get it, I got the sword but didn't purify it, got the aglaophitis flask thing, yet I got ending 3 instead of 2

>in a much stronger sense than any of the ones set in the US
I think that's why people liked Silent Hill in the first place, the surrealism of it all. A place that triggers deja vu, yet is slightly off somehow, almost like there's something wrong but you can't put your finger one it (because it was made by Japanese people with a very limited view of what life is like in that part of America).
I think that feeling is what drove a lot of the Western audience into liking the series in the first place.

>>541651576
I'm sorry to hear that. I actually entered the thread just because I saw Tormented Souls in the OP.
I can understand how it's not super polished, but I really liked it. Particularly how the setting reminded me so much of Alone in the Dark as it went on.
I was actually kind of pissed when I discovered it because I learned about it years after it came out, and it was so precisely what type of horror I enjoy that I felt like Steam had let me down.
It's so damn hard to search for Horror games on Steam since it's so flooded. I'm lucky I found Tormented Souls and Faith at all.

>>541651576
It's a janky ESL game with a sorry ass excuse of a story yeah, but I am a sucker for anything with fixed camera angles + tank controls combination. I always tell people not to go expecting anything grand out of it other than a cool little passion project

I recognize this as a 3rd person shooter survival horror thread, rather than an actual horror game thread. Am I wrong?

>>541679335
yes

>>541679335
Absolutely.

>>541679889
action shooters are spooky? like lmao you have a gun dude just shoot em you pussy

>>541680362
I took this exact same screenshot kek

>>541679335
Close. This is the Resident Evil and Silent Hill general

>>541679335
desu most horror games in the early 2000s were either fps or 3rd person shooters so you aren't really that wrong. I don't know why people thought that would be a good mix back in the day, I usually feel less scared when I have a gun.

>>541690480
It'd be cool if more people talked about horror adventure games.

I admittedly only started playing it to support Roberta Williams' vintage booba but its a very solid game.

>>541696690

>>541540761 (OP)
I like how I'm so old now that a game being 2 or 3 hours long is now "kinda long" for me lol.

>>541704828

>>541713328
Most recent point and click horror games I remember are The Cat Lady, Downfall, Lorelei and Burnhouse Lane, all by the same dev, and I feel his games got progressively worse.

I mean, that anon could post games like Shadow of the Comet, Prisoner of Ice, Darkseed, hell even the original Alone in the Dark games, there might be someone here who's played them, but it's likely gonna be some old fogey who played them 30 years ago and doesn't remember that much about them. Not talking about myself or anything.
For what it's worth, I've seen younger streamers play the original AitD a few times over the years, and it surprisingly holds up well enough for them to finish it.

>>541714223
i never played those games because i realized it was trash propped up by lgbt customers

>>541713328
>it’s not like they even really make those anymore
Depends on your definition. The Rusty Lake series is more of a puzzle game than a point and click adventure, but leans heavily into occult themes and has some spooks (wish they'd lean in more honestly). Then there is the Forsaken Soul series, which is more of a hidden object game.
Also seems like FMV has a bit of an indie revival.

The notion that a horror game has to be "scary" is very juvenile.

quick question, does Castlevania belong in this thread?

Loopa

>>541728569
I, John Horg, will allow it

I just saw a comment on a SH2R video complaining that James looks ASIAN

>>541728879
thank you Mr John Horg

Beat NG+ on Silent Hill f. Going for ending that requires two endings first next. I got ending 2 for NG+ though I probably should have done ending 3 since ending 4 seems very similar requirements as ending 2, to make it more fresh for 3rd playthrough.
Does NG++ have anything extra besides the finale? Or can I rush through and skip cutscenes?

>>541729992
this looks like complete garbage. please post more

>>541729992
I'm looking forward to this one
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2953480/Lunar_Eclipse/

>>541730689
The game will give you a "Skip New Cutscene" message when you skip, rather than "Skip Cutscene" NG++ True Ending took me about 3:30 to beat, but I had all 4 other endings, all Emas, the UFO weapon, etc so playing it on Lost in the Fog was easy.
NG++ has a lot of extra cutscenes in the Shimizu house which redeem both parents.

The scariest thing about Horror games is how I wait until its night to play them, but I'm too tired and I just go to bed instead.

I was new to the series, but Silent Hill f changed everything. The atmosphere, the gameplay, and the horror hit so hard I actually dropped my controller in fear. It’s been years since a game gave me nightmares — and I loved every second of it. Now I can’t wait to dive into more, starting with Silent Hill 2 Remake and other classics from the series.

>>541736120
new pasta just dropped

This is probably the fifth time I've tried to walk this section.
The worst thing that was done in the remake was the lack of 100% stunning of enemy when fired. Seeing how enemy doesn't even stagger from a headshot when there are three more in front of it hurts like hell.

>>541738535
Is this the "grab two emblems to open the door" part? Take your shotgun and run right to grab the first piece then left to grab the second then race to the door. Don't worry about killing enemies just worry about clearing a path.

>>541738774
This is a section with suspension bridges. I killed almost all of them, but it took me about 6 attempts.
I decided to play game for third time, this time on "professional" difficulty and without Blacktail large number of enemies causes some problems.

anyone played the midnight walk?

I'm hoping we get a sale early next year. I would like to play SHf and... The new Sonic Racing Game.
But I don't want to pay 70 dollars for each. I hope SHf is better than the 2 remake, which I found to be unremarkable.

>>541756284
It's not without its flaws, but it's still better than the OG Silent Hills imo. At the very least it is the most ambitious the series will probably ever be.

alien isolation, fatal frame and siren

I played sh4 for the first time recently. On reflection, I think Henry is my favorite silent hill protagonist now. Meanwhile Ethan from RE7 is my favorite resident evil protagonist. I think I just enjoy boring autists in horror games.

>>541761460
Song of Horror, the Void, and Siren.

>>541761460
Evil Within

I swear I hate this fucking game.
3 enemies per м2, each of which can withstand 5+ headshots.

>I got the sword but didn't purify it
that's the thing. you're supposed to either skip the sword or purify it to get ending 2. If you get the sword and don't purify, you get ending 3

>>541792639
Yes, I finally got it, my language's version of the game (Spanish) was mistranslated. The requirement screen literally tells you to NOT purify it to get ending 2, and to purify it to get ending 3, so it was completely reversed just like that. Go figure.

>>541790631
>>541790804
Both are true.
>>541791064
Aya is cool but the gameplay of those games always seemed a little too archaic for me sadly.

It's kinda crazy that do this day people are making AI edit parodies of that fucking comic.

>>541769889
I really like the normal guy suffering to achieve some normal guy goal. I also really like Ethan for that reason.
And then, in RE8 he's doing it to save his daughter, and I am an absolute sucker for Father/Child style plots like that. Even if I didn't like RE8 overall that much, I was a big fan of Ethan.

>>541761460
Save Parasite Eve for a Christmas playthrough. It's a better Christmas game than Halloween one.

>>541816557
Parasite Eve pulls a Die Hard and takes place during Christmas?

>>541816773
Yes. The beginning of the game is Christmas Eve, and each area of the game is structured as one day of the investigation over a week. It also takes place in NYC.
Great game. But I'd say save it for December.

>>541817091
Sounds like a good game to play after Thanksgiving or maybe between Halloween and Thanksgiving.

>>541790787
parasite eve 2 kinda was, the first one is rather unique
not really horror though

>>541818116

>>541819207
I'll mark down AvP then.

Hey everyone, i'm the guy who promised i'd be making that indie horror platform fighter.
Sorry to say but due to my faith in God as well as it being too late for such a concept to be made (Among other reasons) i have decided to ditch the project altogether.
I never even liked horror, i forced myself to get into horror just so i could make a big crossover for unjust and dishonest reason and all i got from it is wasting time and money on games i don't enjoy and nightmares.
As for my other horror parody project, i have decided to put that (As well as al of my creativity and projects) on hold.
The concept was too unholy so i am reworking it into a more action comedy style of game to, for lack of a better term, purify the project in the Name of God.
I hope you all understand, i thank you all for the support and i am sorry for breaking the promises i made by sharing my concepts and ideas.
And no, i did not intend to make this announcement in October of all months, i meant to tell you guys this months ago but i kept getting frozen not know what to say, i wanted to go into more detail but i managed to write this down after being told i should make this simple.
Something i realized before posting this, i just got done watching a video about Class of 09 and how it went downhill and realized that my horror parody project was just Class of 09 but for indie horror with slightly different priorities, i find that ironic considering i only knew about less than % of Class of 09, just a few out of contexts clips and fan animations, but the similarities shocked me, i wouldn't want to make something like that, well, not anymore, and the similarities between the creator and who i once was while writing for the project horrifies me.
This is God letting me know that i made the right decision. I am ashamed of what i was about to create as the project is everything that disgusts me now and i am even more vindicated in my decision to completely rework the project.

>>541821024
Congrats on finding faith, but lighten up my man. You read way too nervous to post this here. It's fine.

>>541821290
Thank you, and yeah, i was nervous, so nervous it took me months to finally come out and say all of this heheh.
I will move on from platform fighters and horror while reworking a lot of my concepts and projects.
Thanks again.

>horror-action balance: more action than RE7 but less than RE4 and Village, said balance is being aimed to be closer to RE2.

>at TGS, devs said they have chosen a Japanese VA for Grace, but decided to not officialy announce it yet, its a choice that will "surprise everyone" according to Nakanishi.

Just doing what you makes happy is important. Not sure what it was that you made you feel like it was so offensive but
I guess I’ll trust your word for it.

Sounds decent. This does make me have doubts that there’s going to be a secondary MC though. Doubt Leon will be showing up after all.

>>541826362
Yeah, i wouldn't say i find it offensive (To an extent), it's just that the concept it used to be did not appeal to who i have become as a person compared to who i was in 2021.

I knew that the white had to be on top and black on bottom, but there was little differentiating one colored piece from another similar one, yet they acted differently. I solved it by brute force.

>>540584664
>>540816850
There’s lots of great horror in RE4 but they’re mostly concentrated in the gameplay and not the quippy cutscenes that everyone remembers the best (apologies in advance as I have to split up this post into 3 parts):
>The entire opening sequence before you really know what's going on. The game makes a big deal out of pulling the rug out from under you if you're used to the Romero zombies from all the previous games since parasites possessing people was a novel idea at the time only having been done by Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Thing and Parasyte which hadn't been translated into English by that point.
>The game makes a point out of showing that while Leon is now highly trained and more capable than before he is now also isolated and trapped in a hostile environment full of monsters and has to rely solely on his own skills and wits to survive just like in Raccoon City
>You then get overwhelmed by crazed blood thirsty villagers who appear to be fully human but are also eerily unfazed by the burning corpse of the policeman in the center of the town square as they still go about doing mundane tasks
>Dr. Salvador whose design seems to be a cross between Leatherface and Jason Voorhees from Part 2 when he was wearing a burlap sack instead of a hockey mask/the killer from The Town That Dreaded Sundown
>Suddenly Leon falls unconscious and doesn’t wake up until night time after he’s had a nightmare that he gets completely overtaken by the parasite
>The first las plagas parasite reveal at night time, something that isn’t as easily destroyed as the villagers themselves, which the Regenerators is just an evolution of, and you always risk taking damage from its flailing tentacle whenever you try to roundhouse kick it. Now that it’s night time, you will then always risk the weak Ganados transforming after you’ve killed them which can lead to more stressful encounters like in the Cabin and the Water Hall

>>541838958

Yeah, the game might be more action than horror muh roundhouse kicks but that’s usually always the case with multi-genre works. Technically RE also has a third primary genre, but nobody ever calls it science-fiction because the sci-fi elements always take a backseat to the horror and action elements. The sci-fi elements are really just there as a vehicle for the body horror stuff. Contrary to something like Dead Space where the sci-fi stuff is absolutely as integral to its story and setting and core themes as the action and horror elements are and even ties directly into the gameplay through your arsenal and the Zero-G mechanics.

The Island is really the first time when horror takes a backseat to action, but Mikami made sure to also include the Regenerators and U-3 to balance it out. The Island is purely meant to test your accumulated skills and put a bigger strain on your resources now that you’ve probably upgraded most if not all of your weapons and it’s Resident Evil tradition that the last 3rd of the game usually turns more actiony anyway.

The first Remothered had potential. It's when they clearly rushed the shit out of the second one, dropped plotlines, and just generally made an utterly schizophrenic ass of a story that everyone turned on it. And for good reason. Didn't help that the game was in total dev hell for over a decade.

>>541816392
Yeah Ethan's story was very emotional. I liked him a lot in 7 for how he just got more and more fed up with the BS as the game went on and had his own ash Williams style transformation. But all the tragedy he went through in 8 was very impactful. I fucking hate how everybody lied to and hid things from the poor guy. I hate even more though how capcoms insistence on the hidden face gag ruined his best moments at the end of 8 and again at the end of the DLC lmao it was comically disrespectful

So did the creators of Silent Hill F just take this line and run with it?

This was cute

Took me out of the immersion, Santa wasn't a thing in Japan at the time, I don't know if the actual Japanese has something different but not even Japanese Christians at the time the game takes place in knew what Santa was.

>>541859589
A quick search online finds Santa Claus stuff popping up in published works in the early 1900s, and isn't SHf in the 1960s? This is like 100 years after they began to interact heavily with the west, and 20 years after they were occupied by Americans who love Christmas and would have brought these concepts over.
Doesn't really surprise me if Santa Claus spread.

>>541842689
Looking it up, seems the first one is decisive. I only played that one, and I just hate in general that type of run-and-hide horror. I think Clocktower and arguably Outlast were good, but it's not a game type that I really enjoy, and so the downstream games are really boring to me.

I'd say an underappreciated change with RE4, probably because it's an often understated aspect of the early REs, is how much it breaks away from being an Adventure game.
RE1 is definitely structured as an Adventure game, like the Sierra Online stuff, or LucasArts, or whatever. I think you can reasonably view RE1/AitD for adding a lot of action to it. But, RE1 has the structure and pacing of an Adventure game.
This weakens over time, and in the classic era you see it slowly move towards a more streamlined experience. But, they have this organization of a series of large spaces, that may be broken up into rooms, but you're really solving a puzzle in a larger space, before you move on to the next major chunk of the game.
I think RE4 isn't really an Adventure game, and has the structure of an action game. In particular, it's structured as a series of setpiece rooms that you conquer one at a time. There are some puzzles, but the actual gameplay structure is more of an action game. Each room is a challenge to be conquered in a way that's quite different from the early games.
I think this might be what people are getting at when they say how RE4 isn't really "survival" anymore. I agree with you RE4 is definitely Horror. It fits firmly within that genre.
This is just an off-the-cuff opinion that I've been mulling for awhile now though.

Setting traps? I can't think of anything else this would be. We've done weak spots, dismemberment, elemental damage, melee, bows, explosives, flashbangs, barriers, guns, melee, and hell, throwing spears.

My only other guesses would be curing them, eye gouging for permanent blinds, or freezing.

>>541860558
I'm not sure I would entirely agree that RE4 isn't an adventure game, but I do agree it's less so focused on that aspect than previous titles yet it's still not quite at the level of RE6. I will say though that the way some action games are or aren't also considered adventure games is pretty arbitrary sometimes. There are lots of examples of linear action adventure games like Uncharted, TLOU, Metal Gear Solid, GoW etc. and some of those games have as big a focus on action set pieces as RE4 does but then you have games like Bioshock 1 that is purely considered an FPS even though there's overall less shooting than in RE4 and yet the levels are just as linear and open ended and interconnected as they are in RE4 and arguably may have a slightly bigger focus on exploration.

I also think something like Postal 2 is in a similar spot to Bioshock, I mean it's a sandbox style game with a semi-open world that you can technically complete without even firing a single shot. Yet it's also usually just called an FPS and not action adventure.

>>541861961

Bad ignorant posts
In the day when you can ask an AI anything and get sources in seconds this is shameful

>>541865297
So, to be clear I think most genres are just a means to try to recommend things to one another. A sort of vague, but often meaningful, label. But not strict categories.
That said, I think I'm trying to get at basically how the game was designed and organized and how that gives very different experiences. Where RE1 has a much stronger puzzlebox feel. You can easily imagine the mansion itself was designed first alongside the general layout of how one moves through it to solve the area. after that enemies are placed within it as a challenge in that environment. But I'd argue that you could have an interesting enemyless RE, it would be worse, but it would still be identifiably the same game.
RE4 seems like its designed around it's encounters. You can imagine they defined the main story beats, "You go to the town, there's people in the square and you have a battle royale until the bell rings." The square is a place for this sequence to take place in. I get that feeling much more strongly from RE4 than RE1. This weakens later one, 3 for instance is already quite on this "action" side as I'm defining it.

This is getting at a question of how does one do pacing and scenario design in a game, and I think this is a big difference, but it's hard to find because it's on the development side rather than the actual finished product. But, I don't know. I take your point. But I think it's interesting to think about how games are paced out, how they unfold.
I think Bioshock 1 might also fit alongside RE4 because it does feel like a series of setpieces oftentimes. Rooms are designed around the encounters that take place within them.
Maybe not though. This is all just musings from an old dude.

Just beat the first play through of Silent Hill F. What a great game

I liked the MC, ost, and visuals.

>>541900802
I thought the puzzles were fun, the story was satisfying since it becomes more and more apparent that the player character is the problem, the connection to the old games with the crushed up flowers was really fun. Atmosphere was also great and consistently well done, even if I like the New England setting better.
Negative is definitely combat and enemy variety

>>541919539
Pretty much everything. The jump scares are pretty brutal and the fact that you can be snuck up on when you’re doing anything besides having the game paused like having your entire screen taken up by your clipboard or computer makes me anxious like nothing else.

Anyone tried Exit 8/Platform 8? It’s a pleasant surprise honestly. I don’t mind luminal space shit when they keep it fun and simple and the scares surprisingly effective.

>>541875401
>But I'd argue that you could have an interesting enemyless RE, it would be worse, but it would still be identifiably the same game.
You don't need to imagine, it's called Doctor Hauzer and was a Japan exclusive release on the 3DO. It was one of the first AITD clones before RE1 released and then were called Resident Evil clones instead. There's a fan translation available on archive.org.

I guess what I'm getting at personally is that just because something is "more" one genre than the other doesn't necessarily mean it isn't stil that genre at all. It's a little weird to me that some people still act like we're living in the era of video rentals where a movie like The Matrix would either sit in the action section or the sci-fi section but never both, but did that ever mean it was strictly just one of those genres instead of both? Of course not. How about a movie like The Thing? Is that movie more sci-fi or more horror? It's of course much more horror and just like RE the sci-fi stuff is there for the body horror stuff primarily. You could change The Thing to a shapeshifting supernatural demon and the only part that would really meaningfully change would be the blood testing scene. But does that mean The Thing isn't sci-fi just because the sci-fi elements are very minor compared to horror? The answer is also no.

Similarly, classic style RE is more horror and adventure than action even RE3, whereas RE4 is more action than horror or adventure but it's still all three genres simultaneously, it's not just purely or mostly action. RE7 is more horror and adventure than action again and RE8 has an increased focus on action but I would say it's more 50/50 whereas RE4 is probably closer to 60/40 action-to-horror. But it goes both ways because every RE game is an action game regardless of the ratio of action elements differing between each title just like every RE is a horror game, just some are more than others.

I wouldn't say its a "solid game" or really a game at all anymore, more of an interactive story/walking sim than an adventure game (ignoring some of the legendary Lucasarts hairbrained puzzle solutions), but I will agree with you that I'm glad they remastered it, it's a story that stuck with me and I think about now and then. Its unique and I'm in love with the film noire atmosphere of the game and all the nods to Hitchcock movies in it.

I also have some Neverending Nightmare wallpapers as well if you want them, 14 of them in fact. They may contain spoilers though.

I was thinking of SH yesterday and I was wondering if something actually pretty close to Jacob's ladder was done (except the twist being drug parasites sorta like SHf).
A veteran comes home from the war and he's trying to adjust to a normal office job but the daily stress along with the sinking society causes him to overdose and go a little off his knockers. You'd think an indie game would've already done this but I couldn't find anything. Maybe Afraid of Monsters but I want something more like Taxi Driver where it's just the loneliness and rejection from society that causes him to go bonkers.

Does this fag likes anything?

Help me out in understanding the "literal" story of Silent Hill F. This is what I think happened:
Hinako's Dad got into unmanageable debt and decided that selling his daughters was the best way to deal with it. Hinako confided in Shu about this, and he gave her some medicine made from flowers that came from Silent Hill. Hinako got seriously addicted to them and her friends felt she was a traitor who was abandoning them. The dream worlds she experienced during this spiral make up the gameplay. On her "wedding day" she snapped and went on a murderous rampage.

>>541961051
Has that really been a thing with anything other than F though?

>>541953715
If you get the chance you should definitely try Platform 8, overall it’s a solid improvement over the original E8 concept with more anomalies to discover, multiple endings, and a generally better atmosphere. Both are definitely some of the top dogs in this subgenre though. Didn’t know about the movie until just now. Pretty neat since I was just thinking it could work translate well to film.

>>541970175
I will definitely give it a go, I have such a huge backlog and its low on the list
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_8_(film)

>>541967767
That just covers the plot of Ending 1 and has nothing to do with every other ending where she actively refuses the pills. It also fails to account for the fact that Shu only gives her the pills to sabotage her wedding with Kotoyuki.

>>541950046
That's what happens when literally every fucking moron gets all their information about Silent Hill from SH2 (a game they definitely haven't played) so they're all desperately trying to fond ways to say every other game is "all in le head" and will fuck themselves into hoops trying to justify any retarded hesdcanon they have. Throw in classic /v/ political bait and falseflagging, and you have a recipe for utterly dogshit threads.

>>541969819
SH2 Remake there were people screaming on /v/ about it being Woke because Angela and Maria weren't sexy enough.
At this point, I presume there are others I haven't seen because I wasn't paying attention.

>>541986469
SH1, 2 and 3 are games I am intimately familiar with, and so they're games that I'm most often struck by the thought "This person has not played this game" when I hear it discussed.
You can usually pretty easily tell someone who has played it from not. But, this is a major thing in modern gaming discussion. Many people just watch Youtube videos and repeat whatever is there rather than play the games.

>>542004135
Sometimes they sanitize and smooth the experience so much that they accidentally remove the soul?

>>542004269
It might be the minimalist quality of the older games. They did more with less. The bloat in content and visuals in newer games often dilutes the experience and makes it less focused and by extension more tiring to play.

The only reason for the "Onions Woke Feminism" discourse is because >90% of marriages in India are arranged

Cool, now shut the fuck up and talk about horror games you absolute dribbling retard.

I usually don't play standard difficulty in RE because it's too easy. I got stuck on Village in the first part so I went back to standard and did it first try but now it's too easy.

Is it worth getting that first part on hardcore?

>>541940150
The characters were and fun memorable and I liked the setting. Not to mention the soundtrack which I own a vinyl record of. Whatever you call it I think it did it’s job well.

>>542004889
It's the age of right-wing grifting in the western world right now. I don't think it has anything to do with India specifically. I also don't think the "people" creating political ragebait about SHf are even aware of what's going on in the game or have any real interest in it. They probably saw a couple out of context scenes or notes from the game on Twitter and decided to run with that.
This modus operandi has been going on for like a decade now, and has resulted in a sizeable audience of uncritical and unquestioning low IQ internet dwellers big enough that you can make a profit out of them by telling them what they want to hear.
There's also the overlapping incel audience which feels threatened by a story about female liberation and is inclined to add fuel to the fire. But we're on 4chan so those need no introduction.

>>542013406

So… /v/ was right and it’s not just people misunderstanding the story. Lol.

>>541987780
Returnal also had people screeching about how woke it was because the MC was shown to be old rather than a literal anime waifu. And Saros is already getting similar shitposting just based on the name.

Bottom line is that ‘woke’ shit should definitely be called out and decried as such but it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that there are bad actors on this website who throw it around either to discredit something they don’t like or plain falseflagging.

"Woke" (when it doesn't mean "thing I don't like") is what you find in the last Dragon Age game, especially when you compare it to what that franchise used to be.
There is absolutely nothing "woke" about SH f, unless it's in the sense of "thing I don't like", but then nothing that person says has any value in the first place anyway.

>>542004764
>bloat
RE2R is the opposite of bloated which is the exact problem. The gameplay is undeniably much better than OG including the boss fights and is actually challenging but I can't get past them gutting the B scenarios. I don't mind them cutting the train yard or whatever it was called from OG since they expanded on the labs and sewers greatly and that area was just a series of corridors anyway. Some of the enemies they cut like the moth was always stupid in OG and barely was an obstacle but I was a little saddened by the exclusion of spiders even if they also posed little threat, not sure if it's because they thought they would be too campy or they couldn't risk alienating people with arachnophobia but it sucks they were excluded at all.

Because of their decision to streamline the campaigns you now also fight the exact same bosses over and over again no matter what campaign you choose if you choose a specific character even though I think the decision to make G-Adult a regular enemy was a good one as it was a terrible boss in OG. All that being said I put over 100 hours into RE2R and 100% it but feel no desire to go back and replay it because of the lackluster B campaigns whereas OG RE2 even with all its flaws is a game I will occassionally feel the urge to go back and replay.

Wow. She’s… pretty average looking.

Why is Fluffy's Mod Manager so fucking dogshit at virtual installations? If there is any issue whatsoever with the software (such as its ArchiveList.bin becoming corrupted during a mod installation) it deletes its own natives folder backup and can no longer restore the original files, forcing the user to redownload them from the source. There is no reason, at all, ever for it to delete its backup of the natives folder, not even for saving space since it only contains 2GB of data.

>>542069943
It was designed that way specifically to fuck with people who use pirated copies iirc since fixing the issue with steam is as easy as two clicks and a few minutes of waiting
both fluffy and the reframework devs have a huge hateboner for software piracy
>>542050634
RE collabs are always so bizarre, except I guess for Jill in mvc2, since all the illustrations and spritework for that game were done by the same character designer who did RE1.

Finally got the True and UFO endings. What an amazing game.

>>542004135
The OG games are very, very good for replays. I think it's an underappreciated quality of them. They're very efficient, fun games so when you know them you can go back and replay them in a sitting. I really recommend it.
It's also a major reason I consider the OG RE to be better then REmake, which is a slog at quite a few spots.

>>542069943
shouldve backed up your own files boyo yohoho

>>542004135
I don't have that feel, no, because I didn't like the remake from the start. I was still on winter break from my first semester of college and stayed up all night streaming it to my friends, 100%, all scenarios. When I finally put it down, I was completely underwhelmed. There are genuinely so many things it did wrong that it ruined the experience for me. Earlier this year I came back to it on PC with mods to fix as much of it as I could and it was way more fun, but there are still ingrained issues that make it below the original for me still, mostly with the story and character tone. It feels like what a netflix adaptation of RE that still kind of gave a shit about being RE would feel like.
The classic camera and gameplay mod, however, proved to me that a modern fixed or scrolling camera game could be fantastic.

wheres the soulslike general so i can complain about enemies in DS2 having autoaim even as they begin their heavy attack animation?

>>542080672
Why complain about a feature players also have. It's honeslty a mystery to me that you can even turn it off for yourself in the options menu, I think it might even be off by default. Stop playing like a retard and either roll through the swing, backstep at the right time if they don't have the reach to hit you that way, or strafe counter clockwise if its an overhead attack.

>>542080672

/dsg/ was spritually dead for a long time, kept alive (and killed) by a schizo that was maybe slightly less worse and obnoxious than our own. It was very much a corpse shambling along though.

I spent all night trying to get the operation javier hat and outfit to work in my game, but it just won't happen, even if those are the only mods I have installed. I have no fucking clue what the problem is, sometimes mods just be that way.

They changed the DRM from Denuvo to Enigma, with the stated intended purpose to disrupt user modifications. They were mad at tiddy mods.
>Yahagi explained that unless mods are officially supported by the game, any unofficial support or mods created by users and uploaded to places like NexusMods constitute as cheating by the publisher.
>While Yahagi did admit a "majority of mods" can have a positive impact on a game, he also explained how they are a double-edged sword, with some mods posing a threat to the company's image and causing "reputational damage."
>"There are a number of mods that are offensive to public order and morals. When these are disseminated, the image of the product is tarnished and branding is affected," Yahagi explained. "Also, these offensive mods may be mistaken for legitimate implementations and can cause reputational damage."

>>542101328
That's a hilarious cope from Yanagi tho, the real reason is because RE4, despite its Denuvo protection, got cracked by Empress pronto. That's the real reason they switched to Enigma, which was totaly worth it to them despite it also killing their ability to run games on steamdeck

something about no cunny allowed. damn posers.

Hi anons, I've been playing this game these past few days and what can I say, this game feels like a masterpiece, made with a lot of love for the horror genre as a whole
I'm very surprised and fascinated by how good this game is, people say it saved the franchise and I can totally see why
I love the fact that this game is called biohazard: resident evil in Japan, and of course, resident evil: biohazard in the west and it makes a lot of sense in both variation, shit's very kino
I'm also very hyped to hop into resident evil: village after I finish this one because people say is very similar to resident evil 4 and that's my favorite in the series, one of the few games I've replayed in a higher difficulty as soon as I finished it
I hope you guys are having fun with whichever game you're currently playing right now!!!!

>>542107239
Village sucked ass, unfortunately. I loved 7 but hated it. Maybe you'll like it more, but temper your expectations

Alright, which remake do we get first?
>Resident Evil: Gun Chronicles
>Resident Evil: Outbreak Files
>Resident Evil: Code Veronica
>Resident Evil: 0ne

>>542112389
>RE: UC/DC
I'd like a remaster rather than a remake. It's actually really fun to play these on Dolphin with the gyro in the DS5.
>Outbreak 1/2
I would also like these remastered. I don't trust them to try and execute a full on new entry or remake with the way they handled shit like Umbrella Corps. or Resistance or that battle royale one.
>CV
I would say "could actually use a remake" and honestly would be the most likely to get one I feel but I think a lot of its charm would get lost.
>no chudette alysson court
>the whole bit with alfred
>no steve x claire
>also claire's going to look fucking ugly like in re2 and probably have the romance subplot shifted to rodriguez if it exists at all
With the way they handled Ashley in 4 I cannot at all trust them to do CV any justice outside of the gameplay department.
>0
I have similar thoughts to it as CV. I think the partner system especially would be interesting in light of RE4R's mechanics between Ashley and Luis, but a lot of the charm I already know would get lost.

bump

>>542112389
I really want Outbreak, because they're maybe my favorite RE games, but I don't remember them that well. And if I try to go on the private servers, everyone is so good I feel embarrassed.

>>542119781
Though, that's just an urge for some remaster so we would have a bunch of newbies with me. I honestly don't want a remake of anything. I'm pretty tired of remakes.

>>542119781
The single player mode is actually really fun, would rec

>>542119921
Maybe. I actually hadn't really considered it. I remember it being extremely difficult to manage the NPCs on the harder modes. But, I just loved the flow of the game, though I played Outbreak 2 way more because I bought a used copy from Blockbuster...

That was great, but wow, it really takes a turn to the supernatural/mythological in every ending after the first. Maybe that's the writer's thing or something. I wonder if something similar could be done in Silent Hill with Samael and all that.

>that was great

The puzzles are for babies, taking no mental capacity to solve them at all, and the entire game feels like a walking simulator going left to right, with no mix up to the experience. Instead of coming up with original ides, most of the big spooky moments are pulled directly from 1 & 2 and just spiffed up with a new coat of paint. There were literally rooms that were exactly the same from the first one, but with just different visuals.
>Lastly, where the first games excelled at environmental story telling and giving you a world to try and piece together as you solved it, this game just feels like they through things at the wall in whatever order and thought 'YEP THAT SURE IS SPOOKY!'

Me and a friend did the whole thing through and by the end, we just wanted it to be over, because there was nothing engaging. Nothing to make you stop and go 'Hmm... What is this?'

>>542167938

How to spot someone who hasn’t played Little Nightmares before. First of all none of the games are “walking simulators” they’re stealth puzzle platformers and the 2nd game even had small sections with combat in them. Second of all the puzzles are not braindead easy just because they aren’t super difficult, there is a middle ground. And lastly, people like these games mostly for the atmosphere and the Coraline aesthetics. If you’re into horror games at all I’m not sure how this didn’t cross your mind for even a second. Dumb /v/tards who don’t actually play the games they want to share their garbage opinions on need to go back.

>>542167938
Never cared about the Little Nightmare series but what I know about the game is that they aren't supposed to be difficult, everyone loves the atmosphere and the environmental storytelling, and that people love discussing the lore.

>>542176284
mind telling the rest of the class what you're referring to

>>542176284
You can toggle between 1st and 3rd person modes from the get-go now. Not really sure how I feel about that as I think it inevitably leads to unfocused game design. 1st person games with optional 3rd person view like Skyrim never feel like they were actually designed with 3rd person in mind and it just makes the shitty combat even more evident. I never tried RE8's 3rd person mode but I imagine it's the same there because shooting feels very different between the REmakes and the Ethan games.

>>542176936
yeah RE8's third person really tells you they didn't make it with that in mind, it feels very off somehow. I have no high hopes for this

>>542176936
It's a dogshit design decision because it limits the design decisions for if nothing else enemy and item placement. I can tell you definitively that Village's 3rd person mode was so unbearably bad that I actually seethed for the first time in maybe at that point 9 or 10 years at a game for how ripped off I felt. RE8's level design already wasn't good, but what little was there completely fell apart.

What's the most overrated RE weapon to you guys? For me, it's the Red9. In fact I'd argue there's no reason to use any pistol except the starting handgun once you have access to its exclusive upgrade except for novelty, especially in the original release where its critical rate was also applied to all of Leon's attacks (such as his knife swings and suplexes). But even in the remake, due to the fact the SG/Sent9 can use the laser, and the fact not every shot is guaranteed to stagger enemies anymore if you shoot them in the head, the instant decapitation ability is invaluable.
>inb4 but what about the exposed plaga?? the red9 is super good at taking those out!
Critical hits can occur even if you don't shoot a weakspot, so even if you hit them in the chest, you'll still do way more damage than the Red9 with a critical hit. You'll also be getting crits more often than you won't.
Also, because exposed plaga are weakpoints, all plaga except the super huge ones can be killed instantly with a critical hit. Red9 genuinely is a noob trap and has been for 20 years now.

>>542182384
samurai edge in re3 for basically the same reasons you gave for the red 9 and handgun actually
the custom handgun in re3 can't use upgraded handgun bullets but it shoots fast as fuck, has little recoil and has a big critical rate. you're better off producing enhanced shotgun ammo to use against stronger enemies like drain deimos than you are using the samurai edge with enhanced ammo, or even just focusing on making magnum ammo or freeze rounds for the gl

You’re neglecting to mention that Village’s third person mode was literally added in over a year later as a DLC content boost. It make sense that it didn’t feel organic, it was pretty much a ‘if you liked it so much here something different’ kind of thing. RE9 is going to have both from the very beginning, so I’m sure it’s going to have more attention to detail and it definitely looks more polished than Village’s so far.

>>542178806
Good I want them to get this out of the way already so it can flop just like Ascension did and they'll just stick with Bloober and Neobards as their go to outsourcing studios not because they're great devs but if they're going to keep outsourcing they could do a lot worse which the Hulett produced games and Ascension are proof of.

I actually think Neobards has the most potential between them and Bloober honestly. Resistance was mid but Re:Verse was worse and wasn't even developed by them but by Capcom who kept insisting on spreading their resources thin for tacked on multiplayer trash nobody wanted. Umbrella Corps still stands as one of the worst received games in history and ORC isn't far behind. I hope they've finally learned their lesson by now.

Guys, based on completion rates, im starting to think that a lot of people dropped some Resident Evil games for getting too spooky at certain parts, or maybe they fucked up their item management, soft locked themselves and got too lazy to try again
What do you guys think about this?

ALEXIA????

Is there a nude mod for Silent Hill F yet?

>>542219256
You might be right but people generally don't finish any game no matter the type or genre even the ones that can be finished in a single sitting. They will still complain if games aren't +100 hours long all the same though leading to the bloated SH2 remake we got. I'm actually amazed publishers haven't used Steam achivements and Playstation trophy stats as an excuse to just start releasing shorter games again.

>>542223847
There are just lots of people who will buy a game only to not play it.
Normalfags shouldn't define the rules.

5 minutes into this dlc and it's a certified kino already, what the actual fuck

>>542223847
>people generally don't finish any game no matter the type or genre even the ones that can be finished in a single sitting
I guess you're right, that definitely has a big effect on completion rates. And to that I'd add some people having more expendable income, people who don't necessarily have expendable income but bought a game because of fear of missing out on a good sale, and to top it all off, depression being more prevalent hence people losing motivation to even play games, and short form media content giving ADHD to weak minded people on a mass scale

Retard moment 542225727

I just finished the "good" endings in Silent Hill 4.
Can I just reload a save file from somewhere late in the game and just spam going in and out of my apartment to spawn the hauntings in order to get the bad endings?

you're seething but it's true, percentage wise

So I'm wondering how far back I must go to be able to spawn them

To be fair, I've been gifted REmake like 3 times in Humble Bundles and stuff. That's one of those games I think a ton of people have who didnt buy it.
There's other games I think it's more egregious.

>>542219256
>>542223847
Services like humble bundle mean that people have lots of games in their libraries they've never touched. Also if you prefer not to be a DRMcuck you don't get to have steam achievements.

Am I tripping or do some SH fans hate on RE for no reason?
I love both series equally, but when it comes to SH I only care about sh1,2,3,4 and shattered memories, the rest I don't really wanna try

>>542230281
I think I love both series equally, I would really struggle to pick one over the other. Silent Hill games are more stimulating but RE is more exciting and fun

>>542225093
It’s very much incredible. I just finished my replay of it like a month ago and it still holds up. I think it could have been an hour longer or so but it’s unadulterated fun.
>>542229132
Nah, it’s not quite the craziest but it’s up there. I like it because it shows even if the main characters are the apex of the world, RE just randomly has people like Joe laying around which is extremely funny and convenient.

>>542230281
there’s definitely some kind of inferiority complex/jealousy going among a lot of them what with RE’s near decade of success at this point but generally I think fans of it tend to like both.

Has anyone compiled all the little details and not so subtle references in SH f? In a video or even a tweet idc
Stuff like the giant dad doll in Hinako's house
I read that there are also Higurashi references but I never read it

>>542142036
I consider so many Ema to be easily missed, but maybe it's the one in the corrupted town on your first return trip to Hinako's house? It's right after the flashback in the playground with child Kotoyuki, in the front yard of a random house.

The one in an Inari box? I have gotten that one too. Fuck man, lol it’s driving me nuts. I put 50 hours in and the last thing I wanna do is tediously go through it and search every spot again.

So, who exactly said that ending #4 was the True and canonical ending? Because for me Fox Wets It’s Tale works way better for me. I thought that was a great send off to such a wild game.

You’re talking to the troll that >>542082589 is referring to. No clue how he made his way here.

is there a mod for re5 to make all the enemies black?

>>542083635
The best method, is and always will be, euthanizing them for the good of all. Unfortunately, we still recognize schizos as too human for that.

The original baroque was superior in every way

>>542298028
Saya no Uta moment, but SnU is unironically better most likely and I've played it.

>>542298261
Baroque is perhaps one of my favorite games ever, pure schizokino. The gameplay of the remakes are way better but the story, presentation and artstyle are complete dogshit by comparison.

Get your T levels checked

I will be installing the nude mod for this pathetic klutz as soon as it appears on my nexusmods feed

>>542317498
Does it matter what my T levels are if I'm never going to reproduce anyway?

Do I have to use a guide to play the RE games? I'm already lost in the first game.

>>542317906
First game is the least linear of them all so don't feel bad. Also don't feel ashamed for looking up a walkthrough for hints if you're totally stuck. There is no shame in it. Are you playing the original RE1 or the remake btw? Enjoy

>>542318062
Actually RE0 is the least linaer of them all but don't worry about playing RE0 because it is shit in every aspect

>>542318062
I'm playing original. I feel like depending on a guide most of the time would ruin the fun.

>>542318310
Just make sure you check out every room on the map. Maybe keep a notepad or use your phone to note down what doors need what keys to open them. There is only one puzzle in RE1 that demands a lot of movement between different areas, so it will be pretty clear that you are making progress or what you need to make progress most of the time

>>541591157
Actual dogshit

>>542319229
>>542319552
I imagine it's more of the exact same thing. Does the protagonist still look anime and out of place I wonder.

>>542325854
Yeah, I mean, I guess depending on your tastes. Maybe you prefer the original Ashley's sandy cheeks VA and appearance, but most people consider the remake a straight upgrade. Her mechanics are also way more fun because she can actually act somewhat independently from Leon, unlike in the original where she could only just stand around or glue herself to his ass. The player can also generally control her to do things for them and control how closely she'll hang around Leon's perimeter though there's rarely a good reason to tell her to wander around. She's talkative in a good way because she's cute and fun, and not an annoying cunt.

>>542325854
>>542331236
forgib the double reply but I forgot to mention: she also has exposed sideboob, which even if she were still annoying and the game sucked would be a 10000% upgrade for me.

I love most resident evil games but these dudes should've never been a thing, they ruin the atmosphere, gameplay wise they're very threatening, but when it comes to the way they look I feel like they don't fit really well into the games' atmosphere

Found a time traveler in Shivers.
The "chinese checkers" puzzle gave me cancer. Not a fan of the puzzles in general, but the design of the museum is pretty rad (if not a tad annoying to click around).

*one shoots you"

>>542331236

That´s nice to hear, haven´t played the remake yet, but Ashley was an insufferable bitch in OG.

>>542331236
>>542331496
They never should have taken out the overtime line. I like both of them though. Remake is definitely more conventionally attractive but original’s Sandy cutesyness is fun too.
>>542332825
GOD what a badass…

>>542331856
You're wrong, they fit perfectly. Resident Evil 1 patterned all of its enemies after different kinds of monster movies, stuff they had playing around the office constantly for inspiration. Giant man eating bugs/snakes/sharks/plants/etc. (Jaws, Anaconda, Them!, etc.), zombies (The Living Dead movies, etc.), killer dogs and birds (The Birds, Kujo, etc.), killer fish/lizard and human hybrids, killer fly human hyrbids (Creature From the Black Lagoon, The Fly, Kronenberg shit etc.) I could go on
I do like how Resident Evil DS expanded the role of the Chimera enemies and gave it such a fantastic introductory sequence though

>>542331856
why is he doing a sΩyface

>>542333427
Fucking imagine if at the very end when she's giving him the fuck-me-eyes, she dropped the overtime line. It would've been 10/10.
I also think they're huge fags for removing Luis' ballistics bit, and what they replaced it with honestly feels so out of character
>I see you found your missing girl.
>she gets pissy as shit for no reason
>is otherwise completely chill all game
Her getting mad at Luis in the cabin only made sense because he was being playfully disrespectful by talking about her titties. Leon getting in his face also would've made more sense. As is that whole part of the cabin just feels completely discombobulated.

>>542227594
Is that the fucking demonic gravity drive from event horizon

>>542333798
But look at his face, he's too goofy looking
Also, are those chimera enemies in REmake one? Because I've never played the original or deadly silence, I looked up some images and their design is actually pretty darn good
>>542334146
Exactly

>>542334498
"The Book of Lost Memories confirms that Event Horizon is an inspiration of the Silent Hill series"
Quoted from the sh wiki

>>542334862
Oh cool.

I've been trying to enjoy fear and hunger 2 and every decision I make just seems to result in me getting my fucking dick ripped off, I keep going back to it like a battered wife

>>542334557
Yes. In RE1, DC, and RE (2002) they only appear in the lab area of the game in a couple of select locations. In DS (2006) they changed it so that they first appear in Mansion 2, a little after the Hunters. There's a library maze you have to solve some puzzles in where a Chimera stalks the player using really cool perspective tricks with the fixed camera, and you never get a good look at it until it finally attacks you when you try to leave the room. It's so fucking creepy and cool. They also appear in the caves area instead of you fighting only a gajillion hunters. One of the best things about including Chimera this way is it makes Jill's flame rounds actually useful outside of Plant 42 and presents Chris with a good reason not to hoard magnum rounds, as while his Shotgun can knock down Hunters, Chimeras in DS will just straight up tank a shotgun blast.
Also, it looks like tha quite literally because it is supposed to look like picrel. (Cont.'d)

>>542335057
Did you not play the original? The same happens all the time

>>542334557
>>542335338
My favorite Hunters are actually the Betas and the Gammas because of how fucked up they look and the weird ways they move, and I really didn't like how 3make handled them - especially the Gammas. Though a lot of that also comes down to that game cutting out the Zoo, which is where you were supposed to be introduced to the Gammas and fight most of the ones you see in the game. They also put way too many Hunter Betas in the hospital, to try and make up for the fact they cut like 2/3rds of the locations in the game.

>>542335338
Holy shit, thanks for posting that comparison image, that's so fucking cool, I guess the staff that made RE were really into the horror genre, just like how team silent really liked the Stephen king's books, among others
You're making me want to play deadly silence, you make it sounds like a definition version of the original, and it's gonna be nice not having to deal with crimson heads

>>542335560
i really liked the 3R gammas; what about them put you off?

>>542335057
>>542335396
Who's your favorite PC's, bros? For me, it's Da'an. I just really like his autopsy ability and him being able to create any kind of medicine out of enemy corpses + do full restores at no cost to himself as long as you have something like the salmon rune to stop him from sacrificing a limb is invaluable.

>>542335396
Nah but I really am enjoying it so far, it's the church that's giving me a problem now cause at first the snails got me and then the coffin guy got me, way she goes boys.

>>542334498
>>542227594
>>542334862
Nothing new under the sun. Pretty neat set pieces though.

We should probably gatekeep all Silent Hill F discussion out of here, the schizos that this game is making both fans and haters is getting out of hand.

>>542335681
RE is filled to the brim with homages to different periods and genres of horror fiction across the games. Even Village was pretty open about what the Lords were inspired by but it’s been a thing since 1. There’s a very lengthy post explaining all of this in a past thread that’s pretty cool.

>>542335338
Chimera is probably my fav RE monster, sounds like I will have to play Deadly Silence soon then

>>542335681
Deadly Silence is honestly my favorite version of RE1, but it has its own issues. I really hate the knife battle sequences, for example, where you're forced into first person view and made to use the DS stylus to fight off a hoard of enemies. There's also a new boss fight in that version that takes place exclusively in first person with the knife. I also disliked the new treasure box puzzles, where a blue treasure chest was added to safe rooms and to get into them, the player has to solve a psuedo lockpicking puzzle involving moving around gemstones with their stylus pen. There's also a shitty puzzle in the neptune area which necessitates the player to use the microphone by blowing into it. Aside from those though the game is a blast and makes a lot of neat changes.
Enemy count is very high, comparable to higher difficulties of REmake, but the player is encouraged to actually fight more than they would in other versions of the game, particularly because their knife is now always available without taking up inventory, and mapped to the left shoulder button. The player's inventory and the map and file menu are always accessible too by taking advantage of the dual screen, which is a huge QoL upgrade. It also used to have a completely kickass multiplayer battle game, but obviously, you can't play it anymore unless you have a friend who also has a DS/3DS to play it with via setting up a connection on your router just for it.
>>542335762
A couple of things. They're way less threatening than the Gammas in the original 3 and Outbreak, they also look way worse to me by contrast - the eyecatching blue and red looked really cool to me, and also, the setting of the sewer is really shit and unmemorable to me as opposed to the Zoo from RE3. It was very memorable getting jumped from the water under an observation bridge, panicking, and potentially getting vored with an instant kill grab if your health was yellow or lower.

Horror games?!?!!?! That shit ain't nothing to me man
The most scary thing I've ever seen is how quickly my hairline receded

I got baited into playing house of necrosis by a friend and I didnt have fun, I get the appeal but its not for me

>>542335681
>>542336583
I'd recommend watching some of Shinji Mikami's interviews from back in the day when he was still at Capcom. There's a really funny one where he talks about being forced to watch a bunch of horror movies by Hideki Kamiya and Tokuro Fujiwara; he described himself as a huge weenie who actually hated horror movies, so for him it was like torture.

>>542337231
>There's a really funny one where he talks about being forced to watch a bunch of horror movies by Hideki Kamiya and Tokuro Fujiwara; he described himself as a huge weenie who actually hated horror movies, so for him it was like torture.
I've heard about that one before, iirc he being a weenie was the very reason he got chosed as a director for RE

That's very impressive, if I were a female woman I'd be soaked wet right now

I was looking through some old /horg/ threads and saw a very cerebral discussion about RE2R and chief irons that I want to repost because of how much it resonated with me germane to anon asking about re2r the other day
> >Irons is both a rapist and a nonce now, despite RE2 never saying either thing, though he was a psycho
>This was the biggest offense I think, yes, they ruined his characterization and just made him curse every second, in the original he was just cunning and deranged and a serial killer who was sabotaging everything
>The worst thing they did to him was that by doing this, they made him seem incompetent. Irons fucks up every single thing he does in RE2R and most of it is for the sake of satiating his uncontrollable urges.
>Imagine if when he ambushes Claire and Sherry in the parking garage, instead of coming off as a creep, he genuinely puts forward a good face and convinces Sherry to come with him with his good cop act, misconstrue Claire's intentions by twisting how he knew her brother and why he and the rest of STARS except for Brad got fired, that kind of thing
>Irons was a threatening character in the original game because of how much of a cold-blooded, manipulative liar he could be, which made his death to G feel almost karmic; he'd been so clever to escape punishment and seemingly got away with all the evil things he did, covering for Umbrella, killing his own officers, murdering the daughter of the mayor, manipulating Claire/Leon; but in the end, fate still took its pound of flesh from him.
>Imagine if instead of evading Irons at the orphanage, you're evading Birkin after he kills Irons.

>>542340048
>, instead of coming off as a creep, he genuinely puts forward a good face and convinces Sherry to come with him with his good cop act, misconstrue Claire's intentions by twisting how he knew her brother and why he and the rest of STARS except for Brad got fired, that kind of thing
>I mean, that could work great unless Chris already warned Claire about Irons being a corrupt dick before the game started, which btw; did he actually did that?
> >I mean, that could work great unless Chris already warned Claire about Irons being a corrupt dick before the game started, which btw; did he actually did that?
>No. That's .. sort of the point of Claire trying to find Chris
she hasn't spoken to him in about a year, and he wasn't returning any of her calls or letters, so she goes to the city to ask him why he's ghosting her.
>He had no reason to be wary of Irons before Umbrella either, as Irons - in the original games - put forth the image of an upstanding and righteous chief that was respected by most, and only had undertones of being an asshole that few people picked up on (e.g. when he verbally abused his secretary for fucking around with the statues, which shocked her because it was "out of character" for him.)
>Irons revealed his true colors to STARS when they attempted to get him to investigate Umbrella, only for him to shut them down, disparage them via controlled news media, and fire them over it.
>In the original Irons seemed like he could put on a genuine front for the public, despite being a psychotic bad guy, and he even seemed to have a genuine sense of "Raccoon City is my city and if I can't protect it then no one can!", like he maybe had some genuine intentions but he lost his mind. RE2R just makes him a sleazy, creepy idiot from the getgo because edgier is better I guess.
>Consider that in the original taxidermy notes, he just says that killing a tiger was so exhiliarating that it made him dizzy. In RE2R he says he jizzed over it.

>>542340048
>>542340393
the bit about him being creepy because he was so calm was striking to me, like, you enter his office and he's as cool as a fucking cucumber despite there being a dead chick on his desk
with the story you piece together about him through the game it paints the picture of a cold, cunning actual sociopath that knew just how to manipulate the people around him like with the way he treats leon and claire so differently
compared to the remake where he's just a total retard who just happens to be evil and too horny for his own good

did anyone find Hinako relatable and if so how?

>>542340048
>>542340393
>>542340559
He looks pretty fucking goofy in RE2R, too.

>>542341528
no. Silent Hill fuck chankoros was also just the chinks at neobards creating anti-natal propaganda for the japs

hopefully Silent Hill Townfall next year is better

I really struggle to understand Hinako as a character; her main trait is being anachronistically critical of the social norms of her place and time seemingly for no reason
both Rinko and Sakuko are both much more nuanced while Hinako just seems … blank
I’m struggling to come up with any adjectives to describe her personality
I can imagine redditors responding ummmmm that’s like THE POINT, as in she is holding herself back from developing a personality as part of her anxiety about becoming an adult woman
But that feels really weak, unless I am just fundamentally misunderstanding the theme of the game being that Hinako wants to “be herself” (undermined by her not having much of a self)
>>542341967
>anti-natal propaganda for the japs
hard to imagine any people less in need of anti-natal propaganda

>>542342962
What you're misunderstanding actually is that Hinako is already a grown woman. The entire game is a drug fueled hallucination, which makes her sneeding journal entries way worse in retrospect, as what could be attributed to teenage girl bullshit doused with heavy loads of feminism is actually an adult woman being completely shitter shattered because she's getting married and Shu moved on from her with Rinko.

>>542343489
if true, this dramatically lowers the stakes of the story — maybe even to the point of their being no stakes at all
similarly, isn’t setting the game 60 odd years ago something of a concession that the main themes are not all that urgent

niggas seriosuly discussing the themes of silent hill f all over 4chan so i go to look at the cutscnees and its the least subtle most obnoxious superliminal messaging i've ever seen in a narrative, what the fuck did i expect from an anime game written by a guy who gets credited using his gamertag, genuinely cringe

Who the fuck even care about SH games that weren't made by team silent

>>542343893
>the least subtle most obnoxious superliminal messaging
this was my initial take, like is what this game has to say just
>being a woman sure was awful 65 years ago in a rural, traditional community, by naive consumerist and presentist standards in 2025
that can’t be it, right??

>>542343785
Pretty much, yeah. It all gets revealed in the final 30 minutes or so of the game's default ending, which you'll always get on your first playthrough no matter what you do.
>>542343893
>>542344145
It's not even really a Silent Hill game. The dogshit that was Shattered Memories, somehow, was more of a Silent Hill game than f. They just called it Silent Hill because they knew no one was going to buy chinkslop from the same chankoros who made Dead Rising Demastered Beta Bux Deluxe edition.

>>542344957
Crapcom and Poonami continues to dig themselves in deeper instead of creating a good game.

>>542346360
Capcoom, surely

>>542337231
I think you're confusing Kamiya and Mikami here because Kamiya is the one who is a huge pussy and hates horror. In an interview he did some years back he talked about how he watched movies like Dawn of the Dead and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in middle school and is very specific about which parts in the first game were directly inspired by specific moments from those films.

He even brings up modern horrors he's watched recently like Get Out and Midsommar and displays a pretty good understanding of the appeal of the genre which is also its greatest drawback and why it will never be as mainstream as other types of genre fiction as well as why he chose to forego the supernatural elements found in the original Sweet Home because Japanese consider that the scariest type of horror there is and the game needed to sell as much as possible so he landed on zombies as the main enemies the player faces. He was quite ahead of his time on that one considering how mainstream zombies are compared to other horror subgenres.

was anyone scared by anything in Silent Hill f?

reddit, do you play horror games in the dark or with a lamp on? they are more exciting to play in the dark but it gives me headaches and fucks up my eyes

>>542351706
i was scared by the gross femcel energy radiating from the game.

bold of you to assume i have ever had sex or a partner, silent hill shattered memories for the playstation 2

>>542353930
You lied. You're roleplaying about having sex when you masturbate. You also cheated on your right hand with your left, once.

>>542353930
Those are just default false if you've a loser.

So, what's some old PC horror games. Could be point and click, or action, whatever. What things predate AITD. Like, 80s old.
Any striking old text adventure games or adventure game?

>>542355279
Nevermind. I'm just playing 7th Guest because I couldn't play it as a kid.

>>542355279
All I know of is that one Dracula text based adventure game on Commodore 64 that AVGN played in one of his earliest episodes but that's about it for 80s PC horror. Otherwise I only know of Haunted House, Splatterhouse, Castlevania and licensed ones on Atari and NES like Halloween, TCM, ANOES, F13 etc.

There's also Harvester which is a point-and-click adventure from 1996 that is supposedly very violent and gory. Sanitarium is another point-and-click from 98.

>>542355279
There was some old cthulu game, or something, I seem to remember having on DOS BOX as a kid. I can't remember any details about it other than it being obtuse as shit though.

This gives me Mystery of the Droods vibes.

you now remember capcpom

Revisiting stuff from the original PS1 Resi trilogy and honestly, I wouldn't have minded the current era remakes chasing realism if it leant more in to the Romero inspiration and stuff like pic related.

no and thats one of my favorite parts about it, after your 40th re4 replay having to deal with qtes is annoying as fuck, the closest you really have to them is having to duck under attacks

What dlc are you talking about? The Following is its dlc. Also DL2 is pretty unanimously agreed to be a downgrade from the first despite the technically wider scope. The Beast on the other hand has been kino.
>>542405038
No.

I disagree. They definitely could have done something cool with an Operation Javier remake. Make it short and sweet and even a resting ground for an Outbreak remake with some multiplayer.
Zero and CV definitely needs it the most though.

>The dogshit that was Shattered Memories
Don't call it dogshit, that's the most decent non team silent game, and the fact that it's a reimagination of the first game and it doesn't mess with the canon of the original games it's very great
But I must admit that only being able to run and hide from enemies is lame as hell, imagine if the game had combat and enemy variety, it would be an actually good game, which is unimaginable for any SH game outsourced by Konami

>Yeah lmfao, Konami themselves had no hand in making it, they just published it
Nothing new under he sun, Konami has been doing this with every silent hill game after sh4

>>542410773
Konami doesn't make games in general
They exist to be a shambling corpse of a company

>capcom remakes resident evil zero, they turn it into a co-op game, and they don't cut a lot of content from the original
>tfw im a lonely nigger faggot and nobody wants to play it with me
this is why I haven't played re5 and re6, I know they can be played alone but that's not as fun....

>play the game or pay more attention next time
what was the reason?
what was unique about Hinako or her situation that made her object to the social norms of her time and place?

her character is explained the moment you start the game and open the journal
i know it's too much to ask from someone who says "anachronistically critical"

I'm watching the first resident evil movie just for the lolz and this thing is so bad it's not even funny, but I noticed that capcom probably took some inspiration from it particularly in the laser scene for the laser QTEs in resident evil 4, funny

>>542419063
Michelle Rodriguez is a little tiger in that movie

>>542419246
And you can't go wrong with Milla Jovovich either
TOO BAD THE SOUND DESIGN FUCKING SUUUCKS T_T

Tantrums aren't arguments, shill-kun

i notice that he never really rebukes any arguments provided he just acts butthurt and seethes
truly chankoro behavior
>>542419063
the umbrella chronicles also imported the red queen AI from that movie into canon and re2r also took inspiration from it (with the facility under raccoon city being "nest" as opposed to the arklay facility's "hive")

I guess the movies also have to do with making brainwashed Jill blonde in re5

The first and second were at least somewhat decent. Certainly better than any other attempts that came after at least. As bad as they were they were also massively popular at the time they were releasing and big blockbuster hits that made their budget back at least twice over, so they played soemthing of a role in further spreading RE’s name and image, even if they might as well have been entirely different properties. It’s also amusing how hard they tried to incorporate scenes and plot beats from the games into them. It’s only natural Capcom pay them some form of homage. Even in the RE4 Remake they couldn’t help but reference the laser room in the Separate Ways DLC. I can only hope we’ll get some game accurate films some day but at least we still have the pure fun kino original story animated ones.

I… think I wrote these posts? Or at least partook in the conversation. Because yeah, I’ve been saying for years now the remake botched his characterization. Guy was very menacing in the original and is kind of just a parody now.
