Silent Hill going back to Japan?

Despite all the crap that happened today this actually made me pretty happy. <3

Was I the only one disappointed by Homecoming? It was pretty cool, the battle system was more challenging and the monsters were pretty cool....but it just didn't have the Silent Hill feeling that the old games gave me. I used to have to put down the controller and take a break for a while with the old games. Sure, I jumped a few times with the homecoming but that's all it was- Cheap scares.....

The old Silent Hill games felt so deep and you really had to think to understand its background. Homecoming was pretty simple. The characters also felt so plain compared to the old character's. Harry, James, Heather...even Henry had a depth to their character design. I loved the bags under Heather's eyes, it made her look...not so perfect. Alex is a vary plain dish. He has no detail to his face....

I also didn't like the fact they took a bunch of stuff from the movie. (Which felt vary loosely based off the first game anyways. Harry wasn't even in it for crying out loud! ROSE?! REALLY?!) Also, what was the point of Pyramid head?! He was made from James guilt and want to be punished for killing Mary! He really had no point in Homecoming other then fan-serves. He shows up two times!


ugh....Sorry I'm rambling now. I should just go now. :iconwthplz:




I'll be a happy little fangirl if Japan takes back Silent Hill...Just as long as they continue to share it with America. <3

Well kyrsea, with silent hill: homecoming the idea behind everything was to give an idea of how the whole thing begain. How Silent hill got it's fog, why nobody ever leaves even though they get out of the town itself and why only a few people are attracted to it. Now I am not all thrilled with some of the easy boss fights. Though the inter dialoug action scenes were awesome.

Haven't had a good go of Homecoming yet, but from what I've heard, it's not proper Silent Hill. The problem is that American companies just can't scare people in the way that the Japanese can. I look forward to a new, properly creepy Silent Hill.
One thing Homecoming does have in its favour, at least the protagonist doesn't seem to be an utter wimp.
:iconkyrsea:
Its really not a proper Silent Hill. I mean, the American Team Silent had a good first try but it just felt like cheap scares rather then the deep physiological rips of the human mind.

I guess Alex is pretty good on that aspect...but then again he was a 'solider' walking in head on rather then a normal person being pulled in by something.

I much prefer when they play on the deep-seated stuff rather than hope people jump at cheap scares.

Most of the "normal people" I know are tougher than the silent hill 1-4 heroes, so I do find some of the combat gets really iritating to the point where I see it as the games' big (and possibly only) weakness
:iconkyrsea:
The combat was kinda cool but it didn't really fit to Silent Hill, you know? Silent Hill is a puzzle survivor-horror...not first person shooter and fighting...Its not RE after all.

I hate how even when you press the dodge button and he makes the dodge move....he still takes damage.

I hope konami and Team Silent take up developing duties. I'm sick of Silent Hill games that don't take place in Silent Hill. Homecoming was ok but not great. Hopefully the "Re-Imagining" of SH1 will be good, but I have some doubts...

I have some doubts too. I might be wrong but I think its going to only be for the Wii. There's that and I heard you can't even fight.

It's gonna be on the Wii, PS2, and PSP. And it's true, you can't fight! I don't know if I wanna get it for the Wii or PS2, motion control over use on the Wii scares me...

Whhhut? PS2? Is there something wrong with the PS3? D:
They changed Harry too. He looks like Stephen King in the new game.
