    6:09 "Old Silent Hill" is the first area in SH1, north of the lake. Allegedly the part south of the lake (where SH2 and some parts of SH3 take place) was originally a swamp land where they would carry out countless executions in the past away from residential areas. The area was nick-named "Blood Swamp" because the executioners would pour the bloody water used to clean their tools in the swamp. I think its awesome that the development team decided to build an entirely new area for the sequel.

      @@bloomindoom I also didn't know about this until I read a 2009 interview by Takayoshi Sato, the character designer and CGI director for both SH1 and 2 (In SH1 he did all the CG cut-scenes single-handedly because Konami wouldn't have credited him otherwise). He mentioned how the town was an executioner town in the past, which is fitting since you can find a lot of details about execution throughout the game. Pyramid Head, although he is a manifestation exclusive to James, takes form of the town's past executioners. They would wear red hoods over their heads to make it easier to perform the execution. In the prison area you can find a photo of some ritual with someone wearing a red triangular hood. You can also find a photo next to that one which describes how the prisoners had a choice of how they wanted to be executed: either by hanging or skewering on a sharp pole. Pretty brutal

    So, Gab, the dead bodies are ALL James' character model. It works to show his desire for punishment and his self hatred.
    As for how they came up with the design for PH... well, I believe you can find the documentary on the creation of Silent Hill 2 online, where they discuss it.
    Alternatively, TwinPerfect has a series called “The REAL Silent Hill Experience” where they explain plots, design decisions, all the games and... just about everything. I typically go back and re listen to it every now and then.

I personally love to play it the original way, PS2 version on a CRT TV and when they finish the project I will give it a go on a PC with that mod.

      @@Novasky2007 For sure, and for the most part I have nothing against any of the voice cast for the HD collection, it just wasn't a type of role any of those actors had done before and the direction wasn't the same. Silent Hill has always had a VERY different feeling to it, and the original voices really played into that feeling well. I will say though, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn and Troy Baker, while lovely people in general, made some really shitty statements about the original cast during the HD Collection's production. So I have had kind of a sour taste when it comes to those two since.

      This "the guys need to sound like shit because they are supposed to be nobodies" needs to stop. Intentionally bad is still bad. Also Guy Cihi had ridiculous expectations so Troy did not just say shitty things period. It came from both sides.

    • @floofzykitty5072
      @floofzykitty5072 4 роки тому +3

      What was wrong with the HD collection to me was that it misinterpreted intentionally muddy textures and "cleaned them up". For example, the roads in the original have a lot of random noise on them to make it look like they're gravel roads, but the HD collection smooths them out and even removes little environmental quirks like litter on the ground and whatnot.

    • @Supernova71288
      @Supernova71288 4 роки тому +7

      @@Cetra29 What was ridiculous about Guy Cihi's expectations? Konami had no contract with the original voice cast, so no agreement on future royalties had been made. Legally they HAD to reach out to the original cast because they didn't technically own the rights to their performance. So I don't blame Cihi at all for taking a stand with the other original cast members. And yes, Troy Baker said some shitty things. He villainized Cihi and during an interview he told people that if they wanted someone to blame for the new voice casting, it was "the guy who originally played James", even though Tom Hulett was not only planning on the new voices anyway, but actually wrote his own new script... And if you really wanna talk about "bad", the new performances were way worse than the originals. Troy Baker simply used his standard anime voice for James, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn couldn't differentiate between Mary and Maria at any point, Laura's actress sounded more like a grown woman obviously trying to sound like a little girl instead of simply sounding like a little girl, Heather was turned into the most obnoxiously snarky and unlikable teen, and I love Laura Bailey, but she was terrible in both of her performances in the HD collection. Angela just sounded like her go to teenager voice instead of the obviously disturbed and two sided woman we knew in the original, and Claudia was the most miserably guttural thing I've ever heard. At least the original performances suited the characters, whether you thought it was "bad" or not...

    The first three Silent Hill games never get old for me. Oh, and they were not based on any mining town with ash falling down. That was strictly the movies. The director took it upon himself to change the lore of Silent Hill which upset a lot of people at the time including Team Silent (the game's developers). Team Silent also stated that it was supposed to be snow falling in the first game since the town itself is supposed to be at a high elevation up in the mountains.

      That's incorrect- The developers for the series (up until after 4 when Konami disbanded them) said they based Silent Hill, and did location shooting for it in LA and Maine, specifically IN Maine because their inspirations for the town were Stephen King works like The Mist, It and Carrie, Dean Koontz works like Phantom and Watchers, the novel House of Leaves (more so the forth game for that one) and HP Lovecraft cosmic horror shit.
      The FILMS set them in that town you mentioned because they, I guess, forgot that it snows a fuckload in Maine and just having a line by a character "Why is it snowing? It's summertime..." would be too crawaaaazy in a film where Pyramid Head rips a womans tits off and throws it our protagonist.

    At 15:00, I think you're thinking of Centralia, a real town in the American Midwest town that was essentially forcibly abandoned due to an underground coal fire that was accidentally started back in the late 60s (if memory serves me right without rechecking online). Ground started having stanility issues and cracks (and even holes) started appearing that spewed out poisonous gas. To this day rhe coal fire is still going on despite of the passage decades and lots of $ spent trying to put it out. Estimates say the fire could continue for centuries...

    In my restless dreams... I see that shop. The name has faded from my memory, but not how exited i felt when i was carrying Silent Hill 2 to where my PS2 was. I had to take it with me for christmas, to my exes parents place and then boldly hook the console to their living room TV. Anyway, i spent the next few nights sitting on the floor (Because the sofa was too far for the controller) with their huge dog keeping me company, and trying not to make noise. That was a time we had a cat and he was with us, because we stayed for like a month, so he was in the bedroom, behind the closed door so the dog wouldnt go nuts at night. But my lil buddy wanted to see me, and kept scratching the door, making the so much noise, he had to be let out to roam around the house. So at one point, kitty was on the couch, on the dogs bed, dog on the floor looking sad and me playing, jumping at their every movement or sound in a pitch black house that wasnt my home. Good times =)
    Why im telling this boring story? To show you, that the game made such an impact, that i still remember couple ordinary pet owner nights, nearly 20 years later.

    Hey Gab, I found your channel a while ago (don't remember how or when exactly), but only recently started binge watching your stuff (though I watched several of your videos & series previously, mostly indie games). I'm sure other people have commented this, but Silent Hill (the town) was loosely based on the defunct town of Centralia in Pennsylvania (though Silent Hill is set in Maine). Back in 1962, a fire set at the local dump spread to the mines below. Because of that, the town was evacuated and abandoned. Reportedly, the fire caused ash to fall from the sky at times. The fire is still burning 60 years later.

    I've actually been to the town that silent hill is based on, Centralia Pennsylvania. There is a perpetual hellfire right below the ground and smoke is everywhere. . Cracks in the pavement with smoke billowing out, random pits to what looks like hell. Lovely place, at the time I think only 8 people were living there.

    I've been waiting for so long for someone to replay these! I'm new to your channel, and what got me to sub was the fact that you play horror games and I knew, some time, you'll play SH. I'm so pleased I stuck around! ;) Thanks so much! I'm excited!! xD

      AJ Klassen I’m pretty sure they just said that for the movie, I don’t think it was inspiration for the game at all.

  • @abbienormals1669
    @abbienormals1669 3 роки тому

    Silent Hill was inspired initially by the Centralia Pennsylvania, US coal mine fire. An fire outside of the mine lit a coal vein on fire back in 1962... it's still burning today. Smoke regularly billows from cracks in the ground, sending ash raining down from the sky like hellish snow. Because of the fire, nearly every last resident has abandoned their homes, making it a real life ghost town. No one is allowed to move in and those few residents that are left will have their homes seized by eminent domain when they die.
    To make it even creepier, the coal fire extended to a nearby town by the name of Byrnesville, which had to be abandoned and leveled.

    There’s a town in Pennsylvania called Centralia that had a mining accident that I think Silent Hill is based on. Its worth a google search! The ghost town looks just like the game!

    • @LeisureEnthusiast22
      @LeisureEnthusiast22 4 роки тому +1

      I thought it was based on a Japanese town, Shizuoka. I'll have to check out this Centralia though, interesting.

      Mike Gruette you know, now that I think about it it would make more sense if it was a Japanese town being that the game was made there. Hahaha

    They based the game on Centrailia PA. The coal vein under town caught on fire and they had to evacuate the whole town. About 5 people chose to stay. You used to be able to visit but it’s closed due to safety issues. You also used to be able to see the smoke from all the fires.

    So happy you're play SH2! I live really close to Centralia, the place that inspired Silent Hill. There aren't many photos of it before the ground beneath caught on fire, but I can see some resemblance. It doesn't really exist anymore besides 2-3 houses, a crumbling roadway, trees, and a massive graveyard.

    Know this might be late, but Silent Hill is partly based on the town Centralia in Pennsylvania, USA. An underground mine caught on fire, and the ground and roads opened up everywhere. The town has since been abandoned, but the fire is still going on

  • @JamesWood-ni7yu
    @JamesWood-ni7yu 4 роки тому

    In the past, whenever I played a Silent Hill game I had a self-imposed rule that I would only play it at night, in the dark. The TV would be the only major light source. And, you know, it was obviously terrifying. But it heightened the experience for me quite a bit. Every monster that would come around the corner, every stray noise, would have me on edge. I jumped more than a few times in each area. The rush afterwards was something else.

    If you look at Marys picture often, when Angela gives you the knife, don't look at it and always keep your health in the green, you should get a good ending. I've always loved silent hill, old games or newish (I don't like homecoming or lost memories but we talk about those ones) I'm really happy to see you play this and I hope you play more. Love your videos 💜💙💜

    So answering your questions about PH, Masahiro Ito wanted the monster to have a hidden face. The initial design looked like a dude in a mask, so he took it a step further and made it a huge helmet.
    He painted creatures with weird heads when he was a college student, and one of his creatures had kind of a pyramid head, so that was his inspiration. He tweaked it some and here you go.
    The sharp angles of the helmet "suggest the possibility of pain" with the words of the artist.
    Also in the original Japanese game James calls him Red Pyramid Thing. I don't remember if Pyramid Head as a name came from the fans or it was in the game, but I know he's referred to as Red Pyramid, or Red Pyramid Thing originally.

    14:50 There is a a real city with same name and same map (very similar in the past) The Silent Hill had a mysterious history (a myth maybe). At the time of making the game Konomi made a very good job at researching everything including sound effects you mentioned and further you investigate ester eggs of this game you get more amazed.

    I know this is old, and I know it isn't the complete basis for the games. But Centralia, Pennsylvania. It's an old coal mining town where the mines caught fire due an oversight in the local landfill. The entire mine beneath the town has been burning since 1962. The town is condemned and only about 5 people still live there after refusing to leave. Smoke leaks out of the ground and through cracks in the road. I'm from Pennsylvania myself and have always wanted to visit. I have heard both that they no longer allow people to visit and that they don't care, but there are signs around warning how dangerous it is, with the fires both constantly making the air dangerous to breath, and the ground prone to collapsing.

  • @ravendelacrux
    @ravendelacrux 4 роки тому +1

    Yes, the game was based on the mining city of Centralia, at West Virginia I think. According the news, the toxic fumes which gathered through the surface because of troubles at the mines and and an earth eruption made the citizens left, leaving a desolated city.
