I'm sure that it'll blow The Evil Within straight out of the water. I mean, when will these Japanese devs ever learn to stop putting actual effort into their games. It's much easier to make a game about looking at cameras and shutting doors, and of course the critics will just eat that shit right up.

Is there any chance that Silent Hills will be ported to something beyond the PS4?

Also, for those of you who played the demo, how good is it? I'm hearing really good things.

I have a feeling Sony might be helping to fund it, so I'd guess no. But if they aren't, it probably will since Konami needs money.

If by demo you mean P.T., it's great.

It looks like this game will be its own thing. In that sense, it'll be like Silent Hill 2, which was very self contained and had no relation to the Silent Hill town lore, Alessa Gillespie, or the cult.

Good. Silent Hill 3 was the only installment that did franchise continuity right.

I was just basing on what little I've read. I had hoped you'd correct me if I were wrong.

Silent Hill 3 executed story through its visuals so well. When the walls in the otherworld turned alive and seemed to be pulsing blood, signifying the coming birth of the demon that the cult worships, and other stuff, was perfect. And it added to the atmosphere by game so creepy. Silent Hill 3 is a bit less subtle than 1, but is just as effective.

EDIT:

I didn't love the ending, though.

Has anyone here played the old Alone in the Dark games?

Foggle · March 05, 2015, 01:25:35 AM

A long time ago. They're pretty good from what I recall. They're basically more rudimentary and less action-y classic Resident Evil games.

I was just looking at the HG101 article on the series and the old trilogy looked pretty cool. The art style really works with early 3D graphics, too.

They're worth playing for sure, especially if you enjoy classic RE.

Then I might check them out. They were PC games, right?

Spark Of Spirit · March 05, 2015, 01:37:18 AM

Yes, only the second game was ever released on a console, I think. If you like survival horror games, these were some of the first.

They predate Resident Evil.

gunswordfist · March 05, 2015, 01:44:38 AM

Yeah, I remember hearing that they predate RE. I love the sound of PC Survival Horror. Those sound extra scary to me.

Missed this Silent Hills trailer somehow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY91vV0rWr4

So good.

Are any of the Galerians games good?
