Seeing as we have a bunch of horror fans here, is anyone gonna go see this? I just saw the trailer for it and it was like watching a cutscene from the game. It comes out in about a month.
This game (the first one) has pretty much scared me more than almost any horror movie I can think of. It took me about a year to finally make my way through it back in high school because I kept having to stop playing it from being too scared to see what would happen next. I was able to get through SH 2, 3, and 4 with no problem, but the first time I ever played through SH 1 was borderline traumatic.
If it's weird to think of a video game being that scary, trust me - if you allow yourself to get immersed in the game's world and only played it with all the lights out late at night and in stereo sound, it is a complete and total sheared broomstick in prison-caliber mindrape from start to finish. It's more of a suffocating atmospheric scare than a boogeyman under the bed jumping out at you scare - when that happens, you jump then everything's fine. You're gripped with fear from the moment you enter Silent Hill to the moment you escape, with no breaks inbetween.
...it'll sure beat the hell out of that if you die in the game you die for real movie. I fucking love this game.

Re: new Silent Hill movie
I never played the first one but I have played the second one and I LOVED it. When I first got it over at EB Games the casheer there said, "I once knew a guy in highschool that committed suicide because of this game." I've been in love ever since.Greg wrote:Seeing as we have a bunch of horror fans here, is anyone gonna go see this? I just saw the trailer for it and it was like watching a cutscene from the game.

Can't wait for the movie to come out.
The second one is awesome, I agree. It's way more of a cerebral game than the first one, the first one had tons of stuff in it that just made absolutely no sense like splattered corpses chained to walls and other out-of-place things like that. The second one took out most of the stuff like that and became much more story-driven.
Based on that, to me the second one would have made the best translation to a movie. The large cast of characters all with weird ties to the town, the huge plot twist near the end of the game where you find out who really killed James' wife, and how the whole town seems to serve as like a metaphor for everyone being in hell and paying for their crimes are all better things worth exploring on film than about 99% of the stuff that's come out in theaters recently.

Maybe I need to give it another chance but,
Fuck that game.
Walking around in fog for like 2 hours and not knowing what to do. Yeah real fun.
But i know what you mean about scary games. Doom 3 is a fucking insane heart-attack inducing experience.
Oh and Manhunt isn't scary but it's fun as hell. Serial killing is fun. It's like the Running Man turned into a game. But with less gay costume. And no Jesse Ventura to fight at the end.

Try playing it with a spoiler free walkthrough. Knowing what to do certainly doesn't make it any less scarier.Mike wrote:Maybe I need to give it another chance but,

I'm a Tech student, I'm required to be gay about either a video game franchise or anime. Video games seem like the more butch of the two. You've been here long enough to know these things by now.holly wrote:I'm sorry, but is no one going to comment on how gay Greg sounded describing how scary the game was?
I guess I would be spending more time watching fake pirate sex skeletons and faker breasts instead of pining for pixelated zombies if someone would get off their spring breaking ass and burn me a copy of Pirates.
That was why I never got it to him; I kept forgetting to get Part I again from Kevin...Mike wrote:I'll tell Kevin to burn it for you.Greg wrote: I guess I would be spending more time watching fake pirate sex skeletons and faker breasts instead of pining for pixelated zombies if someone would get off their spring breaking ass and burn me a copy of Pirates.
