I checked the manuals for both the regular and greatest hits versions of the game, and this isn't in there. SO WHERE DID I GET THAT INFORMATION FROM?!?!? The person who made this got the same info, so PROOF!

If I didn't know any better I say this looks a lot like James Sunderland

Sorta. Also, kinda Harry, because of the clothes.

It is Harry.

also I don't think the PS2 version is going to look as good as the Wii version. I may be wrong.

Oh is that from the game? PAINT ME EMBARRASSED :O

It is Harry.

also I don't think the PS2 version is going to look as good as the Wii version. I may be wrong.

Most likely not, but my guess is that it isn't going to be a big leap though between the two.

Okay, hopefully this'll help some of you guys open up some slots on your nomination lists. If you read this after you send yours, you can just PM me again, or tell me what you're replacing with what here in this thread.

Got it in! @w@

So Neg, you haven't popped Shattered Memories in your Wii for even a peek? I know I would have.

Nope, been on the shelf since day 1 :)

I commend your patience.

I like making good on promises to my friends, because I'm grateful that they always return the favor in kind :)

Don't forget about me! I am totally in the same boat. :)

It still pains me that I don't have it :sad:.

For Ari (major spoilers for Homecoming):

What in the freaking world is that?? IT BETTER NOT BE THE -------------- NEG OR I SWEAR!!!

And just so you know, I'm only missing one of the endings so no more until I get it!

kthxbai~

That has nothing to do with endings. Just a plot point, and you know what it is :mad:

For Ari (major spoilers for Homecoming):



;)

While doing some last minute Christmas shopping this weekend I picked up and flipped through the SH: Shattered Memories game guide by Brady and I must say it looks really interesting. Alas all I have is a PS1, PS2 and an Atari 2800 but I have made up my mind the next console I am getting is an X-Box.

Looking at this great photography site (http://hiranotakaci.jp/en/) and found this...

Left 4 Dead Mod of Silent Hill.

Nice!

That's a cool pic, Avi! I took some pics from my porch the other morning! They're in Stalker.

Need to check this out:
Left 4 Dead Mod of Silent Hill.

I love the little touches like the plank and the doghouse in the first one. And the darkness in the second is wicked.

He keeps upping them, I wonder how far it goes!

I was making bumper stickers last night. Allen's already seen this one:

I would nominate some songs except the ones I had in mind are already up :(.

Also, I am now done recording personal projects so now I can try my take on a cover of "Promise". Not sure if I want it to have a metal sound or not. I'm leaning on a sound that is somewhat hypnotizing though and not sure if metal can do it. Either way, I'll give it a go both ways and see which one I think sounds better.

It will sound lower (my guitar is in a Drop A setting) too just so you know.

For those interested, here's a sample of one way I can do it (the timing is off in some areas so I'm sorry if it ruins your moment....ok, not really). I may change a few things though too if I decide I like this sound better.

^__________^ oh man :)

Very cool. Would like to hear more.

Maybe less delay and more reverb. It's kinda hard to hear the rhythm with that much delay.

Plus the timing.

That's nice, man.

I gave the bass line a try:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/dmy5ye
Note: might want to turn down the volume a bit.

I actually took another listen to it and realized that it's faster than it should be. It's weird because it's obviously playing what I recorded exactly, but when I was listening to it again, I couldn't help but take notice.

But I've decided to stick with this kind of sound to it (it will set some kind of mood when it's completely done and that's what the Silent Hill music is known for) and am working on it as we speak :).

EDIT: that's a pretty good bassline. I do have a capo so I can go ahead and have it set to fit that higher tuning (my guitar is in Drop A). If I decide to do that, would you mind if I use that bassline? I don't have a bass guitar and I was going to send the finished copy of the song to my friend to add bass and drums, but I'm not sure if it'll be that kind of bassline or not...

Yeah, no problem. I was just about to ask what tuning you had because it wasn't standard. Sadly I am not 100% good at tuning (I am ok at it) but if you can do it more power to you, man! :D Yeah, I basically recorded to see if it sounded alright I did it by ear (not a really hard bassline). So yeah, man if you can make the line fit.

Luckily for me, my guitar pedal has a tuner built in so I make sure everything is good before recording. There's this site you can go to that will play an open string so you can tune it to match the sound (you can also adjust it to play a different note too).

http://www.get-tuned.com/bass_guitar_tuner.php

It isn't the one I used (my buddy that adds bass and drums to my stuff told me about it) and because his internet went out (I'm on Live), I can't ask him what it was. But this one looks alright so maybe it might be perfect for ya.

Cool, yeah! I used another online. I had to tune it because my bass guitar was MIA for a long time. I used to play but not so much now-a-days.

I now have the first Silent Hill game on my PSP.

I squeed very hard.

So I totally got P. Head on my arm:



Why must everything be Silent Hill with me??

Holy awesome!

I've played SH-SH:Homecoming excluding Origins cus I only got the chance to play a little of it. I love the first one, probably my favorite but it ties with 3 moreso in that respect. The 2nd one was pretty great and seems to be the most favored by most people. I didn't really like the whole change of story that didn't really tie in with what the first one introduced, but it was still great and the most emotionally compelling. I think 3 was the scariest and it was cool to finally play a girl and it tied in with one, but they killed Harry :( 4 was great except for the ghost, I hated them. But honestly the whole theme and psychological set-up was well thought out and I enjoyed it. Homecoming...sigh...this game I have not finished cus it pissed me off. The game is awesome, but the sloppy combat, scarce health drinks and far placed save points don't help matters. Don't know if I'll ever work up the desire to finish it really. And I don't feel like starting over since I'm at the part where you go under the Town Hall and get the ceremonial knife and have one health drink D: blah

The 2nd one was pretty great and seems to be the most favored by most people. I didn't really like the whole change of story that didn't really tie in with what the first one introduced

Explain this, please.

OH NEVER MIND, I GOTCHA. Thought you were saying the end of 2 didn't tie in with the beginning of 2 :o

^Nope.....2 didn't go on with the same storyline as 1. I mean with the cult setting and Demon god stuff, not meaingbeing exactly like the first. I was wondering why exactly James was called to SH to be punished. Who was punishing him? Mary's ghost? And why? Didn't understand why the demons and/or cult would care about it really. I could understand why Harry was there, because of Cheryl's tie with the cult, but not James. Didn't really fit in with the cult theme. But it was an excellent game. Very sad especially the letter at the end. And I love the story and plot twists, just don't completely understand the overall deeper parts I guess. Maybe I missed something :/ but I've played it a good many times and don't remember it being explained. Pyramid Head was a kick ass concept and I enjoyed taking out that stalker and his buddy though!

James was punishing himself.

I'm not much of one for the cult stuff, which is probably why I prefer the ones that are more character driven.

SH2 was a great game. At first, I didn't like how it had nothing to do with the first game but now that I think about it, it was a great game and didn't need to have a tie in with the first to enjoy the "Silent Hill experience".

And not only was Pyramid Head kick-ass, but I really liked how he came to be and his whole part in the story (not the movie. He was there as pretty much eye candy). Now, I think I like SH2 the best out of the series. I really enjoyed the endings and I fell in love with the music (enough to where I'm doing a cover song of "Promise". And I don't like doing things that other people have done). And I can almost relate to James as to him punishing himself. Not to the same degree mind you, but I do beat myself up a lot and actually wished to be hit in the face because of something I did.

As for Homecoming, you might want to just stick to it. It's not as hard as the other games when it comes to the puzzles (except that one puzzle in the attic. First time I played it, that damn thing took me about an hour to do) and you'll eventually get used to the battle system. I know it took me a while but I do admit that the game has grown on me and am kinda glad that it's part of the SH universe.

And I can almost relate to James as to him punishing himself. Not to the same degree mind you, but I do beat myself up a lot and actually wished to be hit in the face because of something I did.

Same.

I like to think I am most like Henry.

No, I do get how the story in 2 is compelling and I am most certainly more about characters than most but ultimately all these weird happenings are going on in Silent Hill because of the cult happenings and their demonic religion in essence, so I don't see how James fits into that. Yeah, he punishes himself, but the town is also doing so...I mean Maria is made up by the town to punish him. Why does the town call him for him to be punished? Maybe the demonic forces just thought he'd be nice to play with or fun to torture or whatever, I just don't see much of a reason for it beyond that.
Oh don't even get me started about the movie. Granted it was one of the better video game made into movies but that's not saying much.
And Henry is so the cutest character in SH <3 :)

And Henry is so the cutest character in SH <3 :)

I know right!?

James and Mary went there, so it had special significance for them. There's a theory about how there's a mass of energy surrounding the town for various reasons (including the fact that it's built on a civil war cemetery, iirc.) and how that impacts everyone who is predisposed to being affected.

it's in SilentPyramid's plot analysis.

Also, 4 confirms that James and Mary never came back from Silent Hill (the first time they went).

Discussion aplenty.

I prefer SH3's soundtrack, but they're all great to me.
I just do not want to start ALL the way over....I got pretty far and it pisses me off I have to start over and go through all that annoying combat crap again. I'm sure eventually my curiosity and love for the atmosphere will compell me to play again at some point, but man I don't wanna do all that crap again. And I really hate the combat system. Especially when fighting the Nurses and Siams. UGH D:

sh3 is best

Hmm makes some sense. Don't remember anything about a cemetary and it's been a while since I played 4 so I don't recall anything about James or Mary in it. So in that theory anybody who goes to SH is forever affected by it. That can fit, still a little iffy but it's interesting as well. And I'm not sure what SilentPyramid is so sorry. That is very interesting though that they didn't ever leave SH. Gives the game a little more depth for me :)

Yes....Henry is super hot. In my top 5 game crushes for sure!

Here go!

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/198641/36931

play sh3 again its good

Best environments in the series, it's true!

We even have proof in the form of survey data ;)

humor not the stupid 1

You're kinda wigging me out lately, DJ.

oh sorry

I recently played both SH2 and SH3 through again so I don't really feel like it at this point. I am playing something else though. And 3 ties with one as my favorites, so yeah, I agree it's good.

Thanks for the link, bookmarked it :)

I think the reason why I came to like SH2 so much is because, like in the first one and all the other SH games, I have to get every ending. During this time is when I noticed little things about the game that I didn't notice the first time (the feeling I get during certain scenes and the musical piece that is playing during certain cutscenes. It really does a good job at setting the mood for what is going on) among other things. I guess I also learned a little more about James and felt very sorry for him. And the endings also helped in that aspect.

I can't really explain what I'm trying to say but it's the best I can do. But personally, I don't really care about the whole cult thing. Sure it's interesting when dealing with the past of SH, but it does nothing for me beyond that.

QFFT

The endings in 2 seem like all the possible ways James could have gone.

Moving on, Repeating the cycle, Suicide, Resurrection

You forgot the "discovery"!

I left that and UFO out for a reason XD

I can't believe I forgot the UFO one...

Pyramid Head will come out of my arm and kill me for it :(.

This is love. If you like cute things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E3dJRvDkQ4

so when do i get my review of SHMEM? I have no Wii for it.

We aren't playing til Sony launches. So, a couple days after the 19th?

I'm sorry for our loyalty to our brothers-in-arms.

Not really :D But yes, for the love of god LAUNCH IT FOR SONY, ALREADY

So, when are we all are going to start playing? I can start playing that and put RE: DSC and New Super Mario Bros Wii on hold to play SM. :)

I'm still waiting for it to be released :(. Although I'm sure I'll have more fun on the Wii but I don't have one.

19th, gentlemen.

THEY'D BETTER NOT CHANGE IT AGAIN :mad:

GENTLEMEN, ARE WE GOING TO USE THE SPOILER LOUNGE, OR AM I GOING TO CHANGE THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD?

VOTE NOW.

19th, gentlemen.

THEY'D BETTER NOT CHANGE IT AGAIN :mad:

That's kinda cool! It just so happens to be on my birthday.


...which I have made it so.

I SAID VOTE :mad: :mad: :mad:

No! ;)

Last Night I finished SH1 for like 50th time. Sweet.

You have good timing, considering ;) I'm working on 2 right now, for like 50th time.

I played 1 in October.

You have good timing, considering ;) I'm working on 2 right now, for like 50th time.

I played 1 in October.

Actually I finished it again for somekind of bet, a friend told to someone that I can finish it under 1:30 and the guy didn't believe it so I did it in front of his very eyes & it was a pleasure considering it's my fauvorite Silent Hill =D.

Well, you have to, to get 10 stars, so I don't know why he would doubt that.

Tuesday is so close, I can almost taste it! I know I'm not as excited as IDX, though.

I have decided that we're going to use this thread, since we all keep forgetting to check the Social Group.

Tuesday morning the thread title will be changed, until which time we can all complete the game. We'll figure out how we're going to mark time spent with the game as we go. It'll probably still involve spoiler tags. We'll figure it out, yo. I HAVE SPOKEN.

Yes, oh fearless leader. ;)

Fearlessness leads to dangerousness.

Holy wow, dangerousness gets through my spellcheck. TODAY'S BEEN A GOOD DAY.

Cracked open Shattered Memories today... it's interesting. It kind of lacks the overall "Silent Hill" experience I'm used to, but I'm only 10 minutes into the game so it deserves a fair shake.

One thing I noticed is that Cybil doesn't look anything from the original game and from the preview trailers. I think it may have had something to do with how I answered the survey at the start of the game...

I got to the first nightmare side, and I can't get past it for the life of me. The game isn't even telling me which way to retardedly gyrate to get those bastards off me, anymore. So, I'm just getting grabbed by the first one to get to me now and I'm dead.

I hate having to run, I want to look at every inch of the game, but I have to run like a moron and in circles, because the game promised me GPS but there's no exit marked.

I'm ready to throw my shit out a window. A hundred million times worse than when I played Uncharted.

But, I refuse to believe that the rage I feel right now is because of this. This is just a symptom, not the cause.

I'll try again when I actually feel like a human being. But seriously right now I'm ready to sell my Wii and this game.

WOW, Neg!

I fucking love the game! :D Sorry to hear you are having problems, man. :/

Yeah, still haven't received SM yet. Looking at Amazon right now to see how my order is doing and... the shipping estimate reaches as far as Jan. 25th. So I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

FAO Neg:

I had one of them latch on to me as I was trying to climb a wall... I think you have to jerk the Nunchuk and Wii Remote towards yourself to shake them off... at least, that's how I got one of them off of me.

The exits are marked though... you have to look for a wall or door that's highlighted in a blue color...

There's a ton of those, I'm running in circles. I shouldn't have to jerk at all. Shame on Nintendo for using motion controls needlessly.

My kingdom for a gun.

Completed game!


..........................

;_;


This game is amazing!

Yeah...my copy didn't come in...

I did play through SH2 recently though. Man that game makes me sad. But I played through it entirely in the dark this time, but it doesn't matter if it's daytime/nighttime it'll creep you out and mess with your head equally. Played through most of it in a single night because I couldn't put it down.

I ended up with the Leave ending. I remember when I first first played it originally I got the In Water ending on the first playthrough.

Oh, and you looked so happy here...

Completed game!

You finished the game already? Is that short, or did you play it all day? ;)

Either way, you sure went through it quickly.

Played it all day.
Neg knows how much I was waiting for this!

Bump

I am going to post who I met on my journey. Of course in spoiler tags.

brb: Capturing footage and also I will upload the ending I got to Youtube, and since this run I ran it with answering the questions honestly.... well when you guys finish you'll see.

Do you know how many possible endings there are to the game?

5 I believe?

Interesting. Well... I guess me being a completionist whore, I'll have to see all five endings... so it'll definitely take a while before I'm done with the game entirely...

Yeah, me too. Though this first run was my honesty run. Also, Ill be editing this post. For the people I met in my honesty run.


Edit: This is how they appeared to me, on my run. Don't look until you've either met them or competed the game. SPOILER ALERT! or whatever Alert!

I got the Leave ending on the playthrough I just finished Avi. I got Leave my first time, too.

I made the mistake of playing, again.

In terms of what Allen is calling honesty (you can read this after you clear the first nightmare side):

Why am I coloring, with a Wiimote? This is petty, but, it brought into focus my huge, underlying gripe with the game. I have this inclination to answer as I would answer, but I want to answer as Harry. Problem is, we can only guess, to a small degree what Harry would say.

I don't want to paint my psyche on Harry. It's not fair. This isn't a blank slate SH protagonist that we can customize into ourselves. It's Harry Mason. He's a stoic motherfucker. He's not a twisted fuck like me. I don't want him to be ;;

I really am going to commit to not playing it right now, because I don't want this to continue. But, that seemed like a significant revelation in terms of how I feel, right now.

So, I'll just leave it here, documented.

You not play a Silent Hill game... that'll be the day. ;)

This is how they appeared to me, on my run. Don't look until you've either met them or competed the game. SPOILER ALERT! or whatever Alert! This now includes my Second Run.

That's what happened before he ended up in the fridge. Just imagine what's at the top of the stairs.

Alright, just received a message from Amazon. My copy of SM should arrive on the 27th. About damn time.

I just had my mind blown about 6 ways of sunday.

I feel floaty and weird. But, it's kinda a good weird. I was a little shaky, tbh.

Not even kidding!

HAHAHA!

Received the game today and am currently playing it. I love the little comments you can make Harry say when you zoom in on stuff. "Hey" is my favorite so far.

Climax wants to make another Silent Hill (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/01/26/climax-we-want-to-make-another-silent-hill/)

Oh, man Id totally be up to playing another Climax SH. :D

I need to play Shattered Memories, Climax did Origins a particular silent hill game that I consider the worse of all...

I don't see how Origins is any different than the rest. It's almost like 2 jr. <333

This isn't directed at you Topo, just the people who complain about 0 in general.

My opinion about 0: I think that Origins ruins what 1 has implied, from alessa's past to her purpose and Travis is character that I don't find believable to me. Basically it ruins my vision that I have about 1, which is my fauvorite SH.

I don't know what other people say about Origins.

Alright finished my first playthrough of Shattered Memories and it was good and very different. Could have done without the action/nightmare sequences. I didn't find them scary or thrilling, merely an annoyance. Definitely not something I look forward to on future playthroughs. Had two glitches occur: when I first meet Cybil in the diner the dialogue cut out and then it went to the closeup but the camera proceeded to move through her head. And at the psychiatrist's during the marriage discussion the scene moved very fast, almost as if it was sped up on a VCR. Maybe they were glitches or maybe the game was just messing with my head, dunno.

FF4 > SH:SM.

If it wasn't for some graphical bugs (like the flashlight making some really weird line appear) I'd say it's near FF2.

And, as we all know, SH2 ≥ FF2

I like the Nightmare runs. They work for me, being pretty tense. Plus I like that they are putting in more stuff to do within them than just run. Coming across midway puzzles is good times.

Played. Beat. On replay.

In short review:

A cool game with some good concepts.

The core psychological aspect is fresh, interesting. Definitely worth the replay. I look forward to seeing what changes with a new profile.

Agree with avi, the nightmare escape sequences only hurt the game imo. Not scary. Not interesting. A waste. Almost completely abandons the game's strengths: exploration and puzzle solving.

Didn't need to be a SH. It feels like they had a solid concept that would have better worked with original characters as a new IP. It's not impossible for me to like a re-imagining, but I find this first step is plain not as good as landmark as SH1's. It definitely shatters memories of the initial series, but imo reassembles the pieces into an overall lesser product.

Perhaps it's too soon for me to make this sort of judgment on the game, but I'm having a hard time wanting to pick the game up and play it. After spending about 30 minutes with it, it was interesting to explore, but it ultimately lacks what I'm come to grow used to out of a Silent Hill game. I mean, between this game, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles, and Resident Evil 5... this game would be the absolute last choice at the moment for me to want to pick up and play out of my library...

I just need to find some more motive to play this...

Try taping over "Silent Hill" on the box

Man, I'm a rather happy camper.

I squeed over this location:
MALL! MALL! FUCKING MALL! Even got to explore its nightmare side to get the colors for Tookie's nose! There was only one...thing left so I could hang out ^____^

Also, the nightmare sides aren't super detailed so you aren't missing as much as I thought I was, initially. Pretty well designed to be dashed through.

Anyone else notice the pink rubber ball in the mall? Like the one in the original Midwich? :D :D :D

Agree with avi, the nightmare escape sequences only hurt the game imo. Not scary. Not interesting. A waste. Almost completely abandons the game's strengths: exploration and puzzle solving.


Also since it's established that the creatures only appear during the nightmares, it lessens the creepiness of the story/investigating parts since you know that you will never encounter one behind any door or past any corner. It makes things predictable in that sense. And due to this the scariness/creepiness factor is seriously lacking in the game. I don't think I was scared once during the game.

Oh my god. The ending ;;

You were always there. I always will be. Harry ;_;;

I'm curious what everyone thought of the side-quests (photos, memories/messages). I personally liked them. I was one who liked looking at every little nook and cranny so I found quite a few. It's too bad you could only save 10 photos on your phone though.

I only took pics of echo images and still had to delete like 3, to make room.

But yes, I adored looking for mementos :D

s'coo. Pretty much the entire reason for my replay. They do an impressive job defining people by their clutter. I played superficially the first time, going at an average pace...not returning calls... like irl. Scouring time now

I like that they took out the cult angle altogether. It feels more like an even numbered entry, now. w00t for reclaiming Harry and Heather and muddying Harry's waters. Good show, good show.

IMO

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

UFO ENDING!!!!!!!!!

heartbreaker

I did everything the guide said and still got the same ending.

GODDAMMIT.

Elusive Ending @ 9:00 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iupmcYKjd9c

The fucker won't shut up, but it's the one vid we've got right now. Til Allen comes through ;)

FINALLY got Shattered Memories :D!! I was actually surprised that he was still holding my reservation considering I didn't pay for it (until today obviously) and he's been holding it for like, a week.

I squeed when I saw that it has a Widescreen format :). Can't wait to get off work and PLAY THIS SHIT!!

It has widescreen!?!?! Oh shi~

I need to play again...

Well, the PS2 one does...

Doesn't say anything, but it'd be weird if it didn't. I'm telling you, the second you start playing you're going to be like THIS WAS MADE FOR WII.

Yeah, maybe. I've always thought that it was though because there's more to the game on the Wii. Well, with the whole Wiimote thing. Either way, I've been waiting to play this game for a while :D.

But for now, Dissidia will have to suffice until I get home :(.

Your controls are more precise. L1/R1 to spin things. We have to twist our wrists pretty crazily.

But, controlling the flashlight that way is a bigger pleasure than one would imagine for one so small.

More likely. I also wanted to experience hearing the noises from the Wiimote as well. Maybe next time :(.

Tis fun to hold it up to your ear when you get a call/voicemail. So dorky, but it IS! :D

Lol it sounds dorky but I did that in the grudge game. It was ringing so jokingly, I help it up to my ear and said "helloooo??". Then she made her noise and since I was holding it up to my ear like a phone, it scared the shit out of me. And I screamed....a little.

I'm curious what everyone's ending was on their first playthrough. I recently checked out the guide and saw the possibilities for the endings, so I'm also curious if anyone was aiming for any specific one on their first go around.

On my first try, I ended up with the Sleazy, sex dad ending.

Me too, Avi.

Just watched Jakob's ladder, one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life, I'll give my thoughts later

Just watched Jakob's ladder, one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life, I'll give my thoughts later

Not really a SH topic but it was a real mind-fuck movie. I saw it in the theater when it was originally released.

It has influenced the entire series. I've got screencaps of exact shots taken from it that have appeared in the games.

Jacob's Ladder IS a Silent Hill topic. Moreso than almost anything in the universe, tyvm.

I stand corrected. *nods to Neg*

I have put Jacobs Ladder on my Netflix Queue. :D

I have put Jacobs Ladder on my Netflix Queue. :D

It's at #6 right after Curse of the Golden Flower.

Input, nominations, etc. Want Trav's parents? Okay with Rose being in there?

I'm going to run 2 rumbles simultaneously when this one gets to the third round. It'll be protagonists with Elle and Eileen thrown in to make it work mathematically. That's why they aren't in this list.

Maybe a new Silent Hill game will be coming out?

http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/09/new-silent-hill-game/

Was looking through some vids trying to figure out my top 5 'woah' SH moments when I found this...

Live Action Lisa's Death (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqXPDDf9aF0)

Definitely cheaply made but really cool imo.

There's a few more on the guy's channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/duobrown) with a few Resident Evil live action bits mixed in as well.

I remember seeing this, yes :)

The second movie is being produced by the same guy who did RE: Afterlife. Apparently he says that you can't make movies just for gamers. OH REALLY? SHOULDN'T THAT BE YOUR ONLY PRIORITY?!?!?

We're pretty much fucked.

Though, according to Allen, Rose is coming back, so at least it SEEMS like they aren't doing James. Let's cross our fingers, anyway.

I just remembered though she is coming back... They could do any characters like they did Jill in Resident Evil: Apocalypse... Don't get me wrong Sienna was fiiine as Jill but man they messed her up and this makes me sad. :(

Alright, let's cook up theories on this numbering issue. Or dig up facts, either way.

But, tbh, I'm more than happy to imagine that Purrr introduced an anomaly into the universe and this is the result.

I kinda like it. The screwiness of it excites me more with each passing minute~

Give me a second I was about to bump this thread anyways.

Edit: Oops never mind, I thought I had something.

Yes, it is time to rise from the depths and wait in giddy anticipation!

:neg::neg::neg:
:neg::neg::neg:

So excited about 2011 and it's only over 2 games! Should be 4 (I'm looking at you Squeenix) but all in due time. All in due time.

Obviously spoilers


Ok its established that that order of the games are as followed Zero, 1, 3. Homecoming. I say homecoming because of Travis's cameo at the beginning of the game.

While 2, 4 are only linked because of Walter Sullivan. Though 2 only mentions him.

Now we have Shattered Memories.

Shattered Memories I believe takes place (obviously) a couple years seeing as Heather is in her teens in SH3. Yes, I am going to try to link 3 to SM. So please hear me out. Silent Hill 3 has three endings Normal, Possession and UFO ending. I'll get to UFO last.

Lets first go with Normal in the end of that ending Heather tells Douglas to call her Cheryl. A couple of years have gone by and she starts having reoccurring nightmares where she then seeks a Therapist (Dr. K). She tells him about her father, Harry Mason. Keep in mind while Harry was alive, Harry might have told her about his venture to get Cheryl in the first SH but obviously in her story somethings aren't placed right. The names are there but she doesn't know how they looked like. Explaining why you can see people that are the same but look different and their attitudes change. We come to the ending where she then finally is at peace and lets go of her father, Harry Mason is dead. Cheryl - "You've been with me for so long" Harry - "I'll always will be" Or you can get the ending where she quiet can't let go of the fact that Harry had died and if she would have been home sooner she would have helped him survive in SH3. Cheryl - "Why did you have to die, it wasn't my fault. Someone has to take the blame." Harry - "Forget me." That's my theory for normal ending.

Now we move to Possessed. It's somewhat the same as normal, but with her being possessed, authorities find her next to her victim Douglas and she is somewhat unstable and is taken to an asylum. After years, she is then seen by Dr. K. and mixing up with what Harry has talk to her about in his ventures in SH. In her story Harry died in 3, but her time in in the asylum she makes an imaginary father which she thinks is alive and so then she says "Dad you are a Hero, the man who died, that wasn't my father, That isn't who I remember. Those memories are all I have, you're all I have." Harry "I'm not even a ghost." Dr. K then comes up with a synopsis and Cheryl is told to start seeing him for help. That concludes Possessed.

Now to the fun part UFO. The UFO endings are linked with the Dog endings. Origins shows Travis meeting the aliens and Mira Shiba Inu (Dog). Travis goes to get his truck and is returned to Earth and Mira stays in Silent Hill for stuff you might see coming. Harry then meets the aliens in 1 with his famous line. At this time Mira is taking over control of what happens in Silent Hill 2 she basically fucks with James the whole time until he shows up in his ending� Dog Ending. After getting over that he meets the aliens with a similar line to Harry he is zapped and is taken in with Harry. Cheryl/Heather knew about the aliens that's why when she gets home she isn't surprised the aliens are there. Of course James is there too. Aliens go to Silent Hill to bust some heads and Mira is found where she is then either killed or taught a lesson. We then move to SM UFO ending Cheryl Shiba Inu (Dog) seeks therapist� one of the aliens. Where Cheryl (Dog) says "My mother WAS a bitch." Referring to Mira her mother. Oh and James is there too. :D That is my theory of UFO endings. You can say Elle and Alex are taken by different aliens seeing as you don't see the aliens in that ending.


Ok, now its the best and most fun part. Find open spots to brake my theory and maybe awesome discussion might happen. :D

2 and 4 are linked by Rachel--Laura and Mary's nurse--and Frank, not just Walter. Also, the literal interpretation of "There was a Hole here" partnered with the holes filled with bodies just outside of Labyrinth.

Did Harry tell her about SH? The journal is there. Did she know about it before reading that?

Oh, and you know for a fact Homecoming is well after 0, 1, and 3 :p

2 and 4 are linked by Rachel--Laura and Mary's nurse--and Frank, not just Walter. Also, the literal interpretation of "There was a Hole here" partnered with the holes filled with bodies just outside of Labyrinth.

I didn't add holes? I knew about the bodies.



Did Harry tell her about SH? The journal is there. Did she know about it before reading that?


Harry probably might have mentioned stuff from there. Told her stories about SH. Didn't she already know Harry wasn't her real father... she had to have asked how and stuff, or did she learn that after?


Oh, and you know for a fact Homecoming is well after 0, 1, and 3 :p

Yeah, I know in 3 Heather is 17 in SM she is 25. The years go by fast.

I think everyone here needs to replay 3 based on this little exchange. I'll be Halloween marathoning them. Might even do it after I finish Fallout, even if it's not Halloween yet.

I just meant that we know Homecoming is far past it because Travis is like 50.

The evens are connected to the odds by Mary. Someday, we'll learn how. SOMEDAY.

Yes! We will also I still can't get into a SH game... i'm not ready yet. ;_;

Seeing as its been quiet some time i've played the earlier ones I might have missed some stuff. Like the stuff with SH2 and 4. This is all speculation if you didn't know... which is quiet obvious. Haha!

Since last Halloween I've only played SM and 2.

Last one was SM around November or something maybe even December or before?

I was going to say about the time I upped the SH: SM endings but remembered that I had difficulty uploading that with many failed attempts. :/

Wait a damn minute.

Dahlia is alive in Shattered Memories. That just destroys everything you said.

What, Cheryl instantly met up with her after her not being there her entire time with Harry?

SHOTGUN BLAST TO THE FACE

ilu, Allen <3 but seriously.

Ha! Depending on what you did in the game that scene is shown. So if you didn't get it its possible, Also, what if Harry was married to A Dahlia? Huh? They are divorced you see? Cheryl was young when that happened. Dahlia in SM has an unknown last name, Dahlia in 1 has a last name, Gillespie.

So, her mother just showed up after all those years?

Also, I think her name is said in some voicemails. I'll see if I can find out.

Harry had primary custody. Also, depending on what you do, Cheryl had a sour relationship with her mother.

Can't find it in the faq on memos. Could have sword the one near the beginning that calls Dahlia a whore actually said Gillespie.

Not a single mention of Gillespie is in that game, I believe.

Harry from 1's wife died before the original game!

What are we smoking tonight that we don't remember these things?

So, you're saying Harry had a secret new wife, who suddenly appears after the events of 3?

Harry's wife died, Harry re-married and that lady was Dahlia making her the step-mom and of course in SM she doesn't care much for her... judging by how she imagined her back then. She mixes up the meeting with Dahlia with the events in 1 since A Dahlia is in it. Cheryl never got to know her mother. She met Dahlia.

Heather says there's no one to give him a decent burial to Douglas.

Harry knocked boots with whore Dhalia... end of story.







































;)

I like that story :)

Dog Ending came in and killed everyone.

6 and 7 chronicle the exploits of Mira and they are just too awesome for our comprehension?

This what you suggesting?

Mira controlled Silent Hill all the way up until 3, as its always mentioned Henry was just there at wrong time and was just unlucky. Walter did his magic then. Cheryl (Dog) didn't like Mira's actions. :(

Um

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS7xj78t4dk

So what does everyone think?

I like the music as it hits 1:26 but I just know the lack of Yamaoka will make a huge impact on the feel of the game.

And can anyone make out what the mailman says?

I spit on this thread.

Murphy all up in this bitch~

LOL @ Neg and TM for the pics

Why they gotta do this to Eileen?


Also, bump just to see what you Silent Shriners are doing now a days?

LOL @ Allen's pic.

Yeah, the Silent Hill thread has been pretty quiet lately. Anything new going on with SH games lately? You know, I still haven't gone back and finished SM. I played it for like 30 minutes back in January and haven't picked it up again since...

Silent Hill 8 Vid:

http://kotaku.com/5574669/a-look-at-silent-hill-8-on-a-dark--stormy-night

Graphics look insanely good.

I just beat SM a few days ago. Kinda crazy how accurate the therapist notes were. Going to play through it again but be a dick about everything this time. I also learned about the Silent Hill Arcade game (not sure if I said about it here) and wouldn't mind playing it except it's only in Japan.

As for that video...looks like it might be pretty good! Can't wait :D!!

Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't released that FPS of the Silent Hill arcade here yet... it would make a pretty good Wii game.

Eileen totally deserves that~

Not reading diary entries, blah, blah, blah.

Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't released that FPS of the Silent Hill arcade here yet... it would make a pretty good Wii game.

I haven't seen gameplay footage of it but I assumed it will play as a House of the Dead kinda thing. So besides the Wii being the more "smart" system to port it, it can be ported to others except you might want to get one of those gun controllers. Either that or cross-hairs will be on the screen that you move with the analog stick and shoot with a trigger or button.

So when are we starting the next SH rumble, Neg?

Seems IDX is joining me in my Halloween marathon. I haven't played a SH since Jan/Feb-ish, iirc, so this should be hella fun times. He brought up the question of order, and while I can't speak for him, I used his query as the catalyst to making my decision on the matter.

1
2
3
4
Origins
Homecoming
Shattered Memories

It pulls the narrative of the odds right out of sequence, but oh well. They chose to name the new one 8 (for the time being) so lmma dance this wonky dance. For a change of pace I'll be playing 1 on PS3 and Shattered Memories on PS2. Yeah, I did end up buying a PS2 copy. Fanboy gloty.

Still haven't gone back to play SM... not sure if I ever will... :(

You should. The story itself is pretty damn interesting. And the ending took me by COMPLETE surprise.

I'll try to join, not sure if I have recovered from my playthrough marathon of SM.

By the way the most commented video on my youtube account... hahaha!

So when are we starting the next SH rumble, Neg?

I don't even begin to have an answer to that. I have the lists done if someone else is interested in updating and such. They'd have to code the whole thing as well. Iirc, I have the pics, but writing it isn't something I'm interested in doing yet.

Do it. IDX pretty much hit it on the nose. Amazing game that I have a hard time ranking.

You could just choose to not play SM. That's an easy enough solution. But, no pressure at all. Do what's fun for you :)

And, that seems oddly appropriate, seeing as it doesn't have that jackass yelling over the Hero Forever ending~

I might be interested in updating this, provided you can tell me what all is needed to run one of these things all properlike.

The crime scene tape that you can find at the overpass if you trek back over there later in the game could mean two things.

1.) It's for the dead body that you can see in this picture (that I've never seen before because I had to bump the brightness all the way up to even see it this time).
2.) Even if the patient demon really is a human being that James killed, all he did was kill a murderer.

That's 1 murder absolved :p

Hi guys. Perhaps you have already seen this horror
YouTube - Quality Meats: Flesh Straight Jacket by Michael Taflove (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNOPphIviXc)

I was gonna be like WTF, but that video is pretty fucking awesome.

How Silent Hill: Past Life ties into Silent Hill 8 | Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/14/how-silent-hill-past-life-ties-into-silent-hill-8/)

Looking for a dl of it. If I find it, I'll post it here.

It's strange and a little funny that I would have a interest in Silent hill now instead of back when it first came out on the playstation so long ago. I really need to track the first 4 down. Also even though I have Mr. Professional Protagonist as my avatar, I feel that my personality is more like Henry Townshend. Speaking of which, I've always wondered if Henry was related to Peter Townshend of The Who.

Well I've skipped reading any other posts and will do so for now with the intent of just posting my progress.

Today didn't turn out to be too productive so I didn't play at all but tomorrow shall be different.

There's 7 games......

Yeah I know Neg, with number 8 in the works right now. I've just never been into these sort of games until recently

You said first 4. Which would imply you've played Origins, Homecoming and Shattered Memories.

But, I damn sure hope you've played 2....

You have better play 2 before answering you haven't. In my opinion, it's the best one.

This. ^

Plus ya know, using a James av without having played 2. As if that wasn't treasonous enough ;)

And don't get huffy Shawn, I know you take things too seriously. I'm glad to see that version of James, around~

Little too lighthearted for my own personal use, if you catch my drift.

OH and make with the spoiler tags guys, T3 is playing it right now. Wouldn't want to rob him of the experience.

I wish SH2 would be available on the PSN :(. It would be the coolest being able to play it on my PSP. Then again, I haven't checked the PSN store in a while but I highly doubt it's on there.

Are there PS2 games on PSN? Can a PSP run PS2 games?

You said first 4. Which would imply you've played Origins, Homecoming and Shattered Memories.

But, I damn sure hope you've played 2....

Actually I never played the latest ones yet, though I do know about them. Also you mis-read me. I said I need to get the first four games as in buy. I never said that I didn't play the first four games. I've played SH 1 and 2 and a little of SH 3 but never finished it. I'll probably pick up homecoming someday. Not sure if I'll pick up origins. As for Shattered memories, All I know about that game is that the play style is different, it's a odd re imagining of Silent Hill 1, and the ufo ending. Is it worth playing. When I say get the first four I mean I need to strat tracking them down on Ebay or something to play them before they really become hard to get being collector's items and all.

Huffy? Me? Why Neg I take offense! I may be thin, but I do not look like the frame of a performance Bicycle! Oh wait you meant easily offended. Nah, you haven't bugged me. if anything I was trying to gauge your reaction to me taking your boy away and all. But I not going to get all crazy about what is said here. If I did, maybe I should go see Dr. K?

Shattered Memories is awesome. I highly recommend it, as do most of us here.

Origins is pretty damn good, especially considering how short it is. But, I'm biased~

There are two James in SM's UFO ending.
James the one that recently murdered Mary.
and
James the one that was abducted by the aliens.

Mira's daughter happened to be in therapy with the alien at the same time.

HAHAHA!

It's a damn shame that Brim already knows the biggest spoiler for Shattered Memories.

It's a damn shame that Brim already knows the biggest spoiler for Shattered Memories.

Spoiler? what are you talking about? I just found the picture from goggle search that said it was from sm's ufo ending. I never played the game before.

Then for the love of god do not watch video of that ending.

You know what? I'll send you a PS2 copy of Shattered Memories after Halloween, if you want it.

Progress report 1



Couldn't give Eddie any juice. Tried to remember which apartment that butterfly room with the hole was in, remembered garbage shoot and figured try it first. Closer anyway.
Dropped juice pack and got went down and got the coin and the news paper about the killer guy.

Checked map and noticed there's a building on the left side, and one doorway on the 2nd floor which I forgot about. Jumped next door and stuck my hand in the toilet. (I don't know is it was shit or something else and if something else would that even make it better?) I'd have thought I'd use the nails on the stick first before going wrist deep in poopy. In fact, why didn't I reach for that key with the stick before the girl kicked it away?

That safe gave me trouble, not what to do, enter the numbers found in the crapper wallet but how to do it. I've never been able to get those turning locks to work but after trial and error I figure it out that the turns meant the direction of the stick not the wheel.

I now have 100 rounds of 9mm ammo. Kinda makes me nervous for what's to come if all of a sudden I'm allowed that much at one time.
Leave room.
Kill thing.
Fuck no map.
Hey that looks like a map.
Yup it is.
Fuck what the hell is hurting me? Shit I keep stubbing my toe or there's a water monster in those pools or something. Health pack. Use it.
Bugs! Why can't I club them? I'll try shooting them! It worked it's not moving! I'll club it now that it's not moving. Never mind it's dead but the legs thing isn't. Ouch they kill when they're on the floor.
I guess I need to find a bunch of coins and put them in the order the riddle says to get the key to the apartment on the 2nd floor and in that place is my next object.

Why did I convince that women to give up her knife? That's probably how she got around without dying. Not that can't just out run those things most of the time but I feel bad for disarming her.
Go back to the new found red paper, save and quit.

Sticking your hand in a shit-filled toilet is LOVE and I will never be convinced otherwise.

I think I said that to Zak after I watched it, yes.

I need to watch that again ;; And the rest of them, tbh.


I got the best ending for 4, guys! I never thought that was possible for me :D :D :D

So far, these are my endings:

Good+
In Water ;_;;
Normal
Escape

Getting the "Good" ending in Hard mode is insanely hard... I never understood the purposes of having multiple modes in a game if you actually don't get anything extra out of it... oh well.

Most of the time you need to clear the game on hard and have all the endings to get 10 stars, so there is a purpose.

Of course, I'd prefer if they were all like Origins and you could do each thing on a seperate playthrough instead of trying to do everything at once.

21 Sacraments is the best ending of 4 IMO.

Not going to fight you there. Loves me some Walter~ I have the complete victim list if anyone else wants it. Sent it to Allen, already.

Origins is going to be the Bad ending, I can tell you right now. Tesla Rifle just has a way of making you want to kill everything in the game.

Progress report 2


I can't get upstairs and fear I'll need to backtrack over the entire 2 apartments and while the monsters don't seem to come back I don't want to take any unnecessary risks.
What, it's just 3 coins? Well I've got them all them! Women tempter that would be the snake, and it's open. Now run down stairs and unlock the door. It won't open but now that I think of it there was one stairway that was locked and probably be opened again.

Shit pyramid Head! Door's locked, stair's flooded, the stairway up ways is gone and no other thing to interact with. Well I shot him with some effect in the cutscene so let's try the gun, I've got 109 rounds in addition to the 10 in the mag. I know I'm not an army guy or cop but you'd think he's actually aim for the exposed flesh instead of the heavy metal armor.... Well anyway let's try the stick. Ok there should be some type of pattern, ya know this guy seems offensively over hyped. He's not very fast and I can pretty easily dodge him. I don't seem to be inflecting any damage there's just got to be something I'm missing. Damn he killed he! Damn I keep dying! I'll try using the knife while being close to him after a heavy swing, and no that's not it. Well I don't ahve any new items and I can't seem to find any weaknesses I guess I'll try just whacking him again until I think of something. It's getting very tiring restarting in that room and walking down that hallway again and again. I've been killed 3 times when I was behind him after he swung the sword! Now after just wailing on him he's acting funny and now he's walking into the water. Now it's drained.

Outside again! And a first aid kit. Use it and at almost full health. Oh Yeah the park is the place to be! Great now I have a tag along and she'll probably get us killed 10 times before I get her to the next checkpoint where she'll die or betray me anyway. I guess it's better than having that little girl around. Ouch those leg things deal some damage! Dammit what did I say? She's getting hit by the monsters and by he while I save her from the monsters! A motel. Maybe some items and a save. Yes Save and quit for tonight.

lol. Timed fight, no waste the ammo, senor~

I got the Bad ending in Origins, like I said. I was afraid I was going to do poorly in Homecoming, but I'm doing pretty swell. Guess I've still got the touch.

Imma ninja.

Which mode are you playing? Hard mode gave me a hard time... especially with the lack of gun ammo in that mode. May go back and play Homecoming as soon as I'm done with RE: Director's Cut.

Just normal. Lack of ammo would only mean I'd have to learn how to deal with Siams and Smogs. Everything else I melee, anyway.

I never could figure out the melee pattern for Smog. Always just shoot it for ease. Siams definitely does take some practice and memorization of its attack patterns.

I really would like to do Hard mode someday. I'd probably play it through a couple times on normal (in a row) before attempting it. Just like I did with RE4, really.

It's annoying when I find ammo and Alex is like 'I can't carry anymore.'

HARRY AND JAMES AND HEATHER CAN CARRY 999. YOU ARE NOT HENRY YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRAVEL LIGHT :mad::mad::mad:

You know, I don't remember Harry being able to carry THAT much ammo! Then again, I'm always using the laser pistol now so I really don't have a need to use the other weapons. Except the chainsaw in the hospitals :D.

You can up his bullet adjust just the same as James and Heather, so I'd imagine so. I've never gotten that much with Harry, because I didn't really ever use melee with him until this last time. The emergency hammer is actually a really great weapon once you get the timing down!

I can say the ONLY weapon I've never used in SH1 is the katana... never finished the game good enough to get it.

Neg, how in the heck did you get that much ammo?

Katana takes getting Good+ then Bad+ in order, or some shit like that. It's not an exact science. But, the Katana KICKS SERIOUS FUCKING ASS.

I just used the board and pipe and didn't shoot anything? Had bullet adjust up to max.

Oh, you're playing SH2? I thought you were playing Homecoming for some reason.

I am on Homecoming. I took that picture like 2 weeks ago. I was complaining how Alex couldn't carry that much, when he easily could. He's not stuck with the requirement Henry is stuck with.

Door opening animations in the PS2 version feel hella glitchy. Plus, it loads during them WAY WAY WAY more than the Wii version has to. As dopey as it sounds, controlling the flashlight and holding the Wiimote to your ear for phonecalls is HELLA IMMERSIVE and was sorely missed.

same in no more heroes, when sylvia calls you before a boss fight, what she says is heard in the wiimote.

Then for the love of god do not watch video of that ending.

You know what? I'll send you a PS2 copy of Shattered Memories after Halloween, if you want it.

I just received it today. Thank you much Neg! I'll be sure to play it on Halloween.

Not going to tell them what kind of box it was in?

Well if you read the message i sent you via Youtube, you would know I'm not actually at my house at the moment but in a hotel room in Waikiki on vacation away from the daily grind. As such, I don't know what the box looks like either. I'll try to pick it up before Halloween.

Youtube really needs to tell you when you have messages.
