      @@loomingmoon4682 Fair point. It seems my comment above was poorly worded. It’s an above-average story for the genre, but I meant to describe the atmosphere instead. Many creepy works are foggy, bloody, bleak, etc.; however, Silent Hill 2’s soundtrack shifts the tone from vanilla fear to guilt and dread. You’re sad, not scared. Additionally, none of the characters are terrified either. They’re delusional in some way. The score emphasizes those aspects and almost hides the arguably wooden acting from the game. Silent Hill 2 is great, but it’s very similar in many ways to other works. What makes it indelible is the writing and the otherworldly soundtrack.

    One thing I love about silent hill is how it handles lighting. I feel like a lot of horror games make the game dark thinking it will make it scarier when in reality it just makes it hard to see but SH does a really good job of giving you just enough light to see where you're going but not enough to make you feel secure.

    This might sound strange, but you really brought this video to the next level with your thoughtful gameplay. The way you reacted to the weird noises near the beginning of the game, the way you had James back away slowly with his flashlight trained on Pyramid Head during that first encounter, all those little details add up to make the character feel so real and relatable and the video like a well-acted movie. There are parts where it almost feels like you were roleplaying as the character in the moment and it's great! I love this game and this is a lovely way to re-experience it. Thank you for the high quality gameplay :)

    An important detail with Angela's character that I've never seen discussed is that despite the fact that she was able to enact revenge on her abusers, there is no catharsis. Vengeance proves to be a hollow thing, and her pain and trauma remain.
    That's why she wants to "find" her mother; she's holding onto the thin hope that if she kills her too, all the damage that has been will magically melt away, and in her own words: "...Then I can rest."
    This falls in line with the fact that the book "Crime and Punishment" served as one of the primary inspirations behind the game.

I happen to live in a small town where we have a harbour. A middle aged woman did this here about three months ago. She parked her van at the edge of the harbour for a few moments, then drove off the edge into the water, drowning herself. Years ago, a ship came into the harbour and the crew heard a scraping sound from the hull just before docking. They sent a couple divers down to the location where the noise was heard, and they found a pickup truck with corpse in the driver's seat. It was the body of a man, still tucked in with his seatbelt on.

    My favourite part of this entire franchise is the sequence beginning at 3:06:28 when you exit the prison, until you step off the elevator. The three leaps of faith into the holes of darkness, followed by an extended period of reflection are just perfect.
    You struggle to create the weirdest "key" in the game to open the latch and get out of the prison, and at this stage, both you and James are desensitised to the notion of jumping into a hole, so he just goes straight in. No sizing up, just leaps instantly. You drop into a morgue, just see death everywhere for a room or two, then without even achieving anything so much as killing an enemy, you're already leaping into the next hole, again, without even thinking about it ... then, you're immediately faced with the biggest hole yet, again without doing anything. Now it hits you what's happening. It's so in your face, you can't push it to the back of your mind anymore. James questions himself about whether he really does have to go down it, and suddenly he's back to sizing it up and trying to gain the courage to leap into it ... as if he's back to square one and made no progress at all. After that, you're forced to take an uncomfortably long elevator ride where you're faced with what's happened the last couple of minutes.
    Melancholic.

      If it ever ended-up happening it would be terrible because Konami would be behind it. I seriously hope they go out of business at some point and lose the rights to all their games.

      As far as a Silent Hill 2 remake goes, I think the only way it would turn out how people like us would want it to is if Team Silent got together again and were not restricted by time or budget. They would also need to have complete creative control.
      When you say DS is going to be like a combination of Silent Hill and Metal Gear does anyone know this for a fact? Like has anyone who has said this actually seen a good amount of the game in action or know what the story is? I've heard some UA-camrs saying this but they were only speculating and had no legit evidence to prove what they were saying to be true. It was more so just their thoughts on it. I personally think the idea sounds pretty cool but Kojima has stated that DS has no ties to his other games and is going to be a completely unique experience with gameplay elements that have never been done before.
      Either way I trust Kojima. I seriously liked all of his games so far and think he has a great artistic vision. He also has great taste in movies and music. His attention to detail in his games is also insane.

      @zenoisapen I was also curious to know if you've ever played a survival horror game you thought was better than SH2? I personally haven't but am always hoping to stumble upon one that really blows me away like SH2 did. I though The Last of Us was really good but I don't think I would put it in the same genre as the SH games.
      Happy gaming.

    • @separator94
      @separator94 5 років тому +3

      @zenoisapen Thanks for the reply. Some of that information I knew but a lot of it I didn't. I have no doubts about DS being a great game. I really hope the Horizon Engine was able to do everything Kojima wanted it to. I can't wait to see what Kojima himself is able to come-up with in regards to a gaming engine. I know he plans to make one eventually and I'm sure it will be called the Kojima Engine.
      As far as the RE2 Remake goes I found it to be decent. I beat all four scenarios and enjoyed them all but found the game to be very lacking in pretty much all areas. Certain story elements were left out, there were no giant spiders in the sewers, no giant moth in Umbrella's lab, and the puzzles were overly simplified. I could tell playing through it that it had a very low budget and very small development team who were stretched to their limits. It would've been nice if they expanded on the explorability of Racoon City so you could meet other survivors or find interesting locations. Making the envirenments more dynamic so you can at least shoot through glass and move stuff around would've been good. I really wish Japanese gaming companies thought about the fans of their games as much as they do dollar signs. The Corporate Japan mentality is hindering game quality across the board.
      It seems to me that western game developers care more about the artistry of creating than the processes of scheduling, budgeting, and streamlining production. Corporate mindset and artistic mentality don't mix. They are polar opposites as far as mental states go and gaming companies need to understand this.

    @manco4242 5 місяців тому +5

    The best part in Silent Hill 2 in my opinion is the sequence during 2:43:10 and the levels after that leading up to the fight with Eddie. It's an uncomfortably long, suspenseful part with that distorted fog horn playing in the background, beckoning you further and further as you descend down, down, down into madness. But it's not just that. It's a subtle and symbolic way of showcasing the deep dive into James' sub-consciousness you're about to undertake (along with the holes you jump into). Once you take into consideration the notes you find in the hospital and the town during the night, it starts to make even more sense.
    "He who is not bold enough to be stared at from across the abyss is not bold enough to stare into it himself."
    "Or perhaps you are a fool. The truth usually betrays people. A part of that abyss is in the old society. If you still do not wish to stop James, I pray to the Lord to have mercy on your eternal soul."
    James symbolically confronts his deepest, darkest pains in the prison and labyrinth, until he finally emerges onto Toluca Lake and the path to the hotel to face his ultimate fear, the videotape he left behind and the horrific secret it contains. Such genius, depressing and thought-provoking writing will never be found in gaming again.

    The best horror game in the history of video games, this game gives a feeling of depression, sadness and horror and make you always afraid of the unknown

      Dank memes true but this fog world creates entity’s based of your fear and the fear of those around you . Dead space is honestly just random monster aliens tailored to one purpose and I have never played outlast so I really don’t know what it’s about . I personally like this game the best but you have your own opinion.

      You and me both. That last line is truly heartbreaking. I first played this game upon release when I was 22 years old. Back then it was extremely creepy to me more than anything else. As I’ve gotten older, the creepiness isn’t there anymore, but the heart wrenching feeling of loss and tragedy is so present throughout the game. It is truly a masterpiece of gaming.

      To be fair, Silent Hill is a town where time, reality, and logic is constantly bent to torment people. After a while, I don't think much of anything would be crazy to say there.
      (But on the other hand, Silent Hill protagonists always tend to have moments of goofy ass lines. Heather at least was somewhat self-aware of it.)

    i recently watched mulholland drive by david lynch and gotta say that the art direction of this game is really inspired on that movie.. the way the characters speak to each other and the background music are almost straight from it
