“We’ve removed the static camera angles to allow you to explore your environments to further detail.”
-Well, What made the camera angles, lighting and overall visuals of the previous games disturbing is that you couldn’t make out every detail. Things were obtuse, inexplicable and indistinguishable, leaving your imagination to fill in the blanks. If you can see and understand everything, the fear factor is gone.

“We’ve improved the flashlight, to better allow you to ’shed light’ on things.”
-For fuck’s sake. The whole point of Silent Hill is to not be able to see what is lurking in the shadows, or where the hallway ends, or what abominations of God are hunting you down and attacking you.

And the “toilet smells like death” comment was, indeed, retarded.

Someone really needs to slap these guys in the face and make them stop fucking up Silent Hill and making themselves look like idiots.

I would just have so much more peace of mind if these guys didn’t seem like a bunch of average frat boys getting together, drinking a bunch of beers and being like, “Dude… let’s make a scary game. Why do people like Silent Hill? Well, let’s watch the movie and study the games and try to figure it out, through the perspective of someone who has never experienced any real suffering and really doesn’t get affected by the previous games like someone who is developing the next game in the series SHOULD be.”

God, this shit is driving me CRAZY!

Sorry, that wasn’t a deep comment, better luck next time.

I have a suspicious feeling if the hardcore believed team silent was working on it they would not be condemning it even before its’ release. They’d be praising it and antcipating it waving their team silent flags like crazy.

I like how Shepherd genuinely looks terrified right before the “dog thing” attacks in the graveyard. Its’ good that they play on the fact though he was in the military he still feels fear. That was not so apparent with Leon Kennedy from Re 4 or even Travis Grady from SH origins.

The graphics look alot smoother and cleaner. This is a double edged sword. The grainy effects and abyssmal fog in the first games built suspense then again its’ good to see a SH game look so pretty and polished.

It seems like a very SH story. Shephred feels responsible for his brother’s disappearance and sets out to find him. This is true to Harry’s Dilehma in SH 1. I’ve heard so many people say “the storyline is gonna suck1!!! yet they only know the bare bones basics of it.

It almost seems as if the fans are dissing the game for being innovative AND too much like the other games at the same time. Definetly a big contradiction. Wouldn’t it seem logical to WANT it to be like the other games yet improve on complaints voiced about the past entries of the series??

Honestly I’m not so disappointed by Silent Hill’s evolution as I am about its’ fickle elitist yokol self proclaimed “followers” who have done nothing but complain since Home-coming was announced. I’m left the wonder “If” it will get fair reviews or if people are so dead set on despising it they’ll give it low scores “just because”.
