Silent Hill: Downpour Interview with Sr. Associate Producer Tomm Hulett

[aDementedFrog34]

I'm a fan of resident evil and silent hill but that stupid reference at the beginning made him look like a prick, and resident evil was before silent hill. Nevertheless I am still a fan of both games.

[locopocoish1]

notice how he avoided talking about race lol

[proMaG90]

Silent hill should have ended with the 4rth game, when all the key persons involved left the franchise. As Akira said. Its a mixture of japaneese feelings in an western environment. Now that western developers has taken over completely we get an action oriented game which tries to be an intellectual mystery survival horror. But fails! Then they try to copy SH2 plot over and over because it is the most fanbeloved. This isnt anything new. Its just a third person shitty game with a Silent hill name

[Solidus965]

where in the hell is Silent Hill Downpour demo for Xbox Live, PS3 and PC????

[RockitSutdios]

i find it funny that old Tomm doesn't quite know what he is talking about but then he changes what his views are eg. silent hill 2 about pyramid head being only a manifestation of James mind i think you have being watching The Real Silent hill Experience TOMM! with a double MMMMMMMMMMMM

[neilcool1988]

no pyramid head. im not that much into it now

[ActionHorror]

I like this man now lol

[GibbyVee]

dont get gassed up. this game will fail too

[MtnRangeLivingRoom]

I had my doubts, but i am so stoked he understands that pyramid head belongs in SH2 and only in SH2

[GottGameShows]

@MtnRangeLivingRoom most of us are stoked too.

[Zerocidez]

@MtnRangeLivingRoom Yeah right. This guys a fucking liar. He doesn't know shit. Look at the book of memories trailer. Pyramid Head is in there, guess who's fault that was? This idiot Tomm Hulett.

[MtnRangeLivingRoom]

@Zerocidez Oh i hadnt seen that trailer yet. what an ass

[JonathanBergEkvall]

How can so many people dislike Tomm Hulett? He's have just a different view of Silent Hill! That's all. All fans want a new Silent Hill game, to look like the four first games, but no one seems to understand. It's 2012 now! What Tomm says in this video is that you have to test out new things in the new Silent Hill games, the old is already taken. And Tomm is quite right.

[GottGameShows]

@JonathanBergEkvall Well said.

[TheHorrorAnthem]

@JonathanBergEkvall I agree with what you say but you have to be careful how you say it. When the words Silent Hill and change are in the same sentence fans freak because the words "anthology" and "gameplay" come to mind. Tomm wants to change anything outdated, but not necessarily mess with the rules of Silent Hill, not the way Homecoming and the movie changed them. So far he seems to get it, this interview shows that. Here's to hoping it turns out well.

[pokemonemeraldmay]

Wow, Tomm really suprised me in this video, saying things like Pyramid Head only belonging in SH 2 and stuff. Especially after seeing that horrible video of him about Book of Memories.....Maybe Downpour WILL be a good game...

[MeowmixMasterP]

Silent Hill, for me, is like what star wars is for many other people. I don't care how bad they've gotten or how frustrated I might have gotten over more recent games. I will always buy them hoping for the next SH2 which in my opinion is still the best game ever made

[GottGameShows]

@MeowmixMasterP I totally agree with you. SH2 was amazing.

[TheHorrorAnthem]

@MeowmixMasterP I am that way too, and I have this little tingling feeling that Downpour just may be the closest we have been since part 3 or 4ish. Will it be as good or better than Silent Hill 2?...highly unlikely, in fact nearly impossible, but if it is better than Homecoming I will be alright, and if it lives up to the first 3 I will be in bliss.

[NecrotardCinema]

He understands Pyramid Head. This is good.

[GottGameShows]

@NecrotardCinema Very Good Indeed!

[TheHorrorAnthem]

@GottGameShows Oh so very very good indeed!

[nousernameremain]

What? No hospital? What is next? No Otherworld? :| I really hope that Silent Hill: Downpour will rebirth this badly screwed series, but honestly I don't think that's possible. Silent Hill franchise began in a level too high to be reached... And especially since Team Silent was disbanded, there is nothing more than shit.

[UnlimitedUToobs]

@nousernameremain Just don't have high hopes and maybe it'll surprise you.

[HipHopAus]

Anticipating this game's release more than anything. I was trying not to get my hopes up about it at first but at this stage it really looks like it may be one of the best SH games ever... I can't see how it can possibly not be a great game based on what we've seen of it recently. It's so clear how serious Tomm and the rest of the people developing it are taking it, and how adamant they are about it not being a cheap or generic rehash of the previous games. Awesome interview!

[UnlimitedUToobs]

@HipHopAus Dude, Tomm's confidence and his knowledge of Silent Hill makes me feel like SH:Downpour could be that game that rebuilds that fanbase they've lost with the last couple of games including myself.

[0prosthetics0]

This is proof that a non-japanese team understand the lore of Silent Hill!

[UnlimitedUToobs]

@0prosthetics0 exactly my thoughts. Tomm Hulett really knows his lore.

[0prosthetics0]

@UnlimitedUToobs So glad you agree! ;D

[MrElm23]

I love Raychul

[UnlimitedUToobs]

@MrElm23 who doesnt?
