  • Truly fucking amazing, this tune sends shivers down my spine. Just too epic.

  • And for RE defence: SH also turned into some B-shit... It's sad though.

  • @swKrypt1 Shattered Memories was awesome, just Shit Coming was bad

  • @MyraiTrunks I don't know about SM but The Room and Homecoming was terrible...

  • Why do you trying to compare RE and SH? Different games, both great. And if you think that RE is bad just try to remember the "First zombie" scene in RE1... This was one of the most epic things I ever saw.

  • I love this song so much!

    You can really hear the despair and regret in the tones !

  •  Not bad, kind of Jazzy :D

  • in silent hill 2...it showed that the town wasnt crazy...there wasnt really any monsters...it was just a vision of james's self-concious...i mean remember luara the little girl running around the town without a hitch...well she wasnt seeing what james was seeing...though james seemed sane...in retrospect he was not..he was as crazy as a person in a mental ward...and to me that means alot more than a town filled with monsters and some cult trying to bring back God or whatever..best.game.ever

  • This kind of music is like it's own genre. It's not rock, it's not hard core or indie. I think I'll just call it Magic Akira or something like that.

  • I still think the dog ending is the real ending....

  • Bitter and sad...it really captures James's psyche...and it's always effective making me feel down u_u

  • My absolute fav in SH2, and I can hardly think of anything better in the whole SERIES.

  • Awesome song

  • What genre would you classify the guitar work in this song?

  • Comment removed

  • @dark7element there is something that RE don't have in common with silent hill.

    resident evil is about a post apocalyptic world, silent hill is about some sort of hysteria in someone's head. people should just stop comparing those 2, and just enjoy the product of those who work hard on a game.

  • @oly355 Resident Evil isn't post apocalyptic. The only 'apocalypses' are on a strictly local level. It's a bit more realistic than most zombie media in that regard; when the plague is in danger of spreading out of control, the government stops fucking around and drops a nuke on Raccoon City. Wesker tries several times to cause an apocalypse but he doesn't succeed.

    If you're trying to say that RE is more physical and less psychological horror, then yea, absolutely.

  • @dark7element yeah it just had to happen.good for me,if i hated anything about RE 1-2-3 then those were the stupid story slowing puzzles.plus they were,um lets say,they were like *what,you don't know how to solve something you never saw? LOSER*re 4 was blast tho.

  • I always thought this song would have been more appropriate for the "Maria Ending" and The Promise for the "Leave Ending". Still awesome though.

  • I don't remember this being in the game....?

  • @Rosegang Credits

  • wait the first ones theme of laura? it doesnt sound like either version that ive heard before

  • awesome

  • years and years later...again in love with the epicness of this masterpiece (game, soundtrack,story.....sadness)!­!!!

  • Hmmm....one retard accidentally clicked on dislike! What a dumbass....

  • I remember hearing this during the credits. I was happy to have survived the horror, but also sad because it's such a wonderful game not even words can explain how good it is and now it was over. No doubt my favorite SIlent Hill game.

  • Not only are the melencholy tones of this song amazing, but it really appeals to the rock nerd in me that appreciates power guitar and bitchin' guitar riffs! Silent Hill always has the best soundtracks!

  • Once you're in, you can never get out...

    who wants to get out of this paradise anyway? :D

  • Resident Evil and Silent Hill are both great series but they're different.

    RE is survival horror and SH is pyshcological horror. But all fans keep saying is that RE is ruined but it's not the only one. Look at Final Fantasy and Silent Hill is not so hot either at the moment. I only liked Silent Hill 1-3 and Resident Evil 0-Code Veronica

  • @christineoneil silent hill changed their teams, that's one of the reason why it's not as great as it was.

    I keep hoping they just did that for a pause, and will come back to their older style for it.

  • @oly355

    Yeah i think every Silent Hill fan would enjoy that. But problem is that they all split. Akira has even stopped doing the music for the games. i know a lot of Team Silent went to join Hideo Kojima's dev team (Metal Gear Solid franchise). and another one of the guys went and made the Siren games. If they don't make a good silent hill game when i'm older. Me and my bro r gonna try and make it. Got lots of idea's combat, horror, and story wise.

  • @MasterCheif248 hey, you go for it if you have ideas :p let me know if it happens x)

  • @oly355

    I'm already working on the story, it's kinda a sequel to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, Origins, and homecoming.

  • This song is absolutely chilling. I've been meaning to find this for quite a while, and just hearing it sends a good vibe down my spine.

  • silent hill was a game with confusing storyline. very deep. while giving scary atmosphere, which was good. Resident evil gave scary atmosphere with more action and a more branching storyline... so far. with the new resident evil coming out its obvious they are working on new ideas for the series because of the new ones for the 3ds and Xbox and ps3. however silent hill seemed to run out of ideas at the fourth one. both games were great. but silent hills original team disbanded. that is what sucks

  • Is anybody willing 2 put in some money 2 pay Pyramid Head 2 kill whoever dislikes this song? I got 20

  • @heerozero1 I will contribute my body, for raping ;-;

  • love it

  • I don't think resident evil was ever supposed to be anything other than action and gore.

    It had a slightly deeper message that was large corporations should never be above the law, regardless of how big they get.

    Silent Hill, for me, was always supposed to be about the human mind and how we do our best to overcome our fear for the sake of our loved ones.

    Two totally different games, two different stories. They should not be compared.

  • I don't think that was all there was to SH2 theme. If you got the water ending, James did overcome his fear, but did he fulfill his wife's last wishes? I don't think so. I think there's a deeper tragic theme here. It's like the ending of shutter island. When pushed to the limit to face the ugly reality do we always make the "better" choice to move forward. "Better" in quotes because for James, that was subjective. What is the better choice if any?

  • @Tinhh sorry but your saying its not survival meaning that the ganados your trying to SURVIVE!!!! from are just going say " yeh the doors that way buddy" i would say re and sh are very compared in terms to horror and SURVIVAL!!! but silent hill franchise put more effort. ;)

  • @eSFreSHneSS96 You replied to the wrong person lol.

  • @CainG88 Imo, it's more like Resident Evil used to be about survival, in a phsyical world, it was a different and kind of shallower (in my opinion, again) than Silent Hill, Silent Hill itself is a survival against your own demons, your own mind, it's fear itself materialized, that's the beauty of it. Resident Evil stopped being survival the moment it went over to RE4 though.

  • @CainG88 And the emotional factor of course is ALOT more present and the essence of Silent Hill.

  • @CainG88 Both great series, but i prefer Silent Hill. The only connection they really have is the survival horror aspect.

  • @CainG88 RE is just a B movie parody. RE4 and 5 are just a Hollywood movie parodies. That's why those game are sometimes is ridiculously funny (Secret island with arsenal, evil russian stereotype, way too muscular protagonists, etc.)

  • @Pangyarthur it wasn't B in no concept. it had its own gripping story. it just switched to more action type gameplay [i don't know how anyone else, but i enjoyed combat more than puzzles] as for too muscular protagonists, nobody bitched about terminator looking like muscleblob nor saying terminator being B. and it isn't that much overdone, Chris just got to train.

  • @Nightmare7454 Well, did you noticied how every RE game ends up with and explosion and a chopper? If that's not comedy, I don't know what that is.

  • @Pangyarthur i would really like you to show me how to get out of 15 square miles of houses and streets full of zombies and mutants other than choppers, plus they got out of city by train in second one, and by water scooter in fourth.

  • Reminds me of Satriani. I havent heard this song in a long time, and everytime I rediscover it, I'm always pleasantly surprised.

  • It appears one person was raped by Pyramid Head.

  • @Dissius Now another person was raped by Pyramid Head.

  • This game is Beautiful...Eerie...and Compelling of the Mind.

  • In my opinion, Silent Hill was always better than Resident Evil. It's so much deeper and so much more mysterious. What really happened in the town of Silent Hill? Are the monsters real, or are they merely hallucinations brought on by the character's own hysteria? People love Silent Hill because it makes no sense most of the time, and yet, they want to learn more about it, and they know they will never be able to explain it. You can try and leave SH, but once you're in, you can never get out.

  • its about ancient gods and the power they wield. and also about a cult called the order trying to resurect their fallen god and usher in a new paradise by eliminating all human beings. pyramid head is the punisher who makes people atone for their sins by whatever sin they commited. silent hill is a town touched by the power of the old gods andis now trapped in a world between worlds. as for the monsters they are manifestations of sins commited by humans. i just explained the whole thing :p

  • this song is played when james is in silent hill and fighting monsters and wont stop until he finds his love!

  • @FPSPointMan that pretty much summed it up from beginning of the game to the end.

  • Fact is Resident Evil doesn't deserve the title: Resident Evil - afer the 3rd game in my opinion. Yes, 4+5 are good games, but they're not Resident Evil like we truly know them.

    Silent Hill However even in the new ones has been true to it's name, and even though some are better than others, you can always expect an emotional ride.

  • garry's mod fuck yea

  • @madcat75 .......What? The fuck does GM have to do with Silent Hill 2?

  • @Firemoon454 To answer that question, The G-mod Idiot Box: Episode 1, contained this song in the credits. madcat75 must have been referring to it.

  • @DramaKingMan0 Really? I didn't know that...

  • The track's name fits my life perfectly right now :( Sorry if that sounds over-emotional, but it really does fit well.

  • @PyramidHead333 If you don't mind me asking, How, exactly, does this fit your life?

  • @Firemoon454 Well, I've been really depressed. I used to have this friend, and she helped me get through a rough time when I was in 8th grade. Now, though, she doesn't care about me. So, in a sense, it was all a delusion. And she won't be coming back for me. There's an order that we can't speak to each other ever again.

  • @PyramidHead333 Wow, dude that had to be rough.

  • Akira Yamaoka: The best! :)

  • Actually Silent Hill has 3 different worlds. The real word, where people live happily in Silent Hill and is a tourist attraction(Proved in Silent Hill 2 & 4). The second is the fog world, the town is abandoned and fog is present in the town if you hold a sin or darkness in your heart. Finally, the otherworld or your personal nightmare. The people in the real world have no idea the town holds tremendous power.

  • im gonna buy this fucking Soundtrack so i can listen to it the whole day in my house, in the car, in the computer LOL !! i fucking love it :D

  • as airy as any Pink Floyd and much more kickarse

  • I'm trying to look for a song that might've been one of the silent hill soundtracks, I heard it about 4-5 years ago..... something like a duet, or more than one person singing... metal/alternate. Might be something like Nightwish or Within Temptation... can anyone help me with that. If anyone knows a song like that from one of the soundtracks n n;

    Thnx

  • i just dont understand why people keep complaining about how bad silent hill homecoming was... fanboys ¬¬ , by the way, i played every single them

  • this song is so pretty. It's more structured than some of the more ambient songs, but warrants just as much irrational thoughts/madness.

  • Why are most of the comments a debate on which is better? Silent Hill or Resident Evil?(Silent Hill ftw!!:D SH really connects with the player, making them feel the terror and sadness that main character feels, almost putting them in the game) Silent Hill is beutiful and terrifying at the same time.

  • The Order/cult is dedicated to its overdose delusion. Evidence of this is the sacrifice of children.

  • They need to seriously re-do the movie. Ok, so they had the correct music in it & somewat related it to the original storyline. But c'mon, it sucked apple juice 4rm a straw! 4 starters, the 1st movie shud be abu Harry Mason losing and trying to find CHERYL (wtf is "sharon"?!). Then the 2nd one can be about Cheryl grwing up and changing her name to Heather and so on.

  • @Sk8terGaMer89, I liked the movie; of course it wasn't much like the games but it would have been pretty boring if it was. Personally I commend the makers for sticking true to the Silent hill atmosphere whilst still being original with the story. Sure, there are a few bits here and there that don't make sense; for example pyramid head shouldn't have been in the film. But over all I think it did a good job considering it’s the only non resident evil game to film adaptation that is any good (IMO)

  • @allseeingeye93 well u have ur opinion, & i have mine. I say: it sucked ass. lol

    =)

  • @allseeingeye93 Pyramid Head acts as an executioner, right?

    Maybe he was a manifestation of the cult's obsession with burning those who were "impure."

    Just a thought.

  • @animeotaku307 Pyramid Head was a symbol of Jame's guilt and hatred.

  • @Riddick23384 But he also appeared in "Homecoming" as well. In that case, to

    (SPOILER!!!)

    Kill Alex's dad because he felt bad about how he treated Alex.

    (SPOILER!!!)

    So I think he could symbolize anyone's guilt.

  • @animeotaku307 Well, I was talking about Silent Hill 2, I've never played Homecoming, so I just learned something :3

  • @Riddick23384 Crap! Sorry for spoiling!

  • too simple

  • Silent Hill 1-3 were masterpieces. 4 was a new twist on the series, taking it to a neigboring town, and I though it was just as effective as the originals. Origins, despite what everyone says, was a good game. It fleshed out Alessa's backstory and still had an emotional story. Homecoming was a bit of a letdown; it let go of almost everything but The Order and the name Silent Hill. Pyramid Head's appearance in that game was pointless. And Shattered Memories was just a disgrace to SH1. So there.

  • In my opinion the fog in silent hill is like a airborn drug of evil infecting all who are in it to become overdosed with delusion.

  • Best game out of the whole series! Not to mention the best music! silent hill forever!!

  • Silent Hill: emotions,atmosphere,dark and creepy,scary creatures.

    Resident Evii: action,gore,open and empty areas,zombies. 

  • Comment removed

  • Resident Evil: Action and gore

    Silent Hill: Atmosphere and emotions

  • Is this a true emo game? haha. Seriously asking. It always ends depressing right? I'm a RE guy.

  • @SolidSnake3131 Haha just because it is depressing does not mean it is emo, I prefer emotional on a high level. And to me the silent hill 2 ending was sad, but yet..can't think of a word...not happy....but it just felt better that James got one last chance to make amends with mary, Tell her he was sorry, that he loved her and so on.

  • @Nudge009 I see. It's a neat idea. It definitley goes outside the box. Begins weird and ends weird. It's ok though, RE has gone to shit and SH obviously looks the same.

  • @SolidSnake3131 Yeah...I loved RE..now I don't even know what the hell it is..Silent hill can be explained, the original team left after 3.....Let's hope Silent hill 8 will.."reboot" the series, But I'm not getting my hopes up

  • @Nudge009 Bittersweet, perhaps?

  • @Nudge009 To me that was mainly the In Water ending. I mean I love the four original endings but it seems like the main one where he made amends with her was the In Water ending.

  • @SolidSnake3131 well for me , for us , for all silent hill fanatics , and all who just finished playing silent hill games the game really speaks in you and leaves a mrak and the essence and magic really merges and centers within you , silent hill is just not a game it's a part of who you are , who you really are deep inside , everyone has their own fears and dark sides and bad intentions , well , this game,goes to you mind and stays there forever and you will never be the same it makes you you.

  • @Lui362 Ok.

    I can agree that Resident Evil turned into action and gore; which is pure shit without meaning to it. Silent Hill definitely involves human emotion to the fullest.

  • @SolidSnake3131 glad to hear it (^_^)

  • @SolidSnake3131 finally a guy that recognizes that vote up 4 ya

  • @iloveyue Well, it's true.

  • @SolidSnake3131

    I don't think RE turned out bad, I mean to be honest I hated the slow gameplay in RE, not that it improved in the RE 4 and RE 5 but Silent Hill 2 and 3 were all about story really which is why I loved them both. The gameplay just felt stiff. I doubt I'd move that damn slow if I had to fend against monsters. But I'm not Rambo Either.

  • @SolidSnake3131 Fuck that shit, Silent Hill may be awesome because of its deep, immersive, mind-blowing, conception-twisting, can't-get-your-eyeballs-off-of­-the-TV story, but you can never say killing zombies in excessively violent mannerisms for absolutely no reason whatsoever isn't fun. Besides, Resident Evil was born mainly on action and gore, puzzles were second.

  • @Holycrudaflyingcow12 Hey I love Resident Evil. I think they messed up with RE5. RE4 was awesome and maintained the basic elements of the RE environment.

  • @Holycrudaflyingcow12 Dunno, there was an awful lot of puzzles, in the first 3 RE, at least. I'm still thinking the PSOne era was the best, for survival-horror gaming. ^^ I wish they wuld remake RE 2 and 3 like they did the first one on Gamecube.

  • @SolidSnake3131 thats hella true

  • @SolidSnake3131 Except Homecoming. Homecoming was a bitter disappointment.

  • @SolidSnake3131 Resident Evil used to be something to fear worth its M rating....but anymore....your right it is just guns n gore and RE4 was ok.....but it can NEVER amount to the fear of the old Resident Evil

  • First Team Silent disbanded, now the music isn't Yamaoka's. Whats happening to the town we all know and love.

  • god song

  • Just let her go James.

    D:

  • This song is amazing it's like you've done it you have survived true hell but what do you walk away with besides sadness and doubt knowing what you have done and what you have seen?

  • @greatgameguy maybe that´s the reason about this song´s name is "Overdose Delusion".

    damn, now i wanna play this game again!!!!!

  • @greatgameguy Such a good description for it. You are right

  • I hate how team silent broke up from sh..no one can or ever will make sh the way they did..they made the REAL silent hill.

  • Good bye Silent Hill, i'm not gonna feel like this again it seems :(

  • This is the best Survival Horror Ever.

  • After Silent hill 3 was finished new developers took over, is that right? In that case I hope the old once will demand their game back.. Silent Hill 2 is a game so deep and full of all those lovely symbols and a wonderful backstory. If they made another game like this with better graphics... IMAGINE !!! Oh my god I would jizz my pants if they did!

  • @Sadako60 It's already got epic graphics but even more epic graphics would probably kill me with its awesomeness!

  • @FinalFantasyLov3r124 My point exactly. I would actually like this game to stay untouched by remakers' hands but at the same time I would really like to see this game in better graphics.

  • @Sadako60 No, after Silent Hill 4: The Room was finished, new developers showed up. This is because the original team disbanded.

  • Epic song 5/5!

  • @FinalFantasyLov3r124 True Dat XDD

  • This song tells of how much the town of SIlent Hill FUCKED UP the people. All of the songs have the dark tone in them.

  • 1:50 to 2:00

    Your rain, composed by akira yamaoka!!!

    Anyone noticed that?? :D

  • American horror is things jumping out at you and that's it. Japanese horror is a lot more

  • I completely agree, most of the best horrors are japanese and this mainly because of how they place all the small things and this can completely change the atmosphere and feeling to fill anyone with fear.

  • Yeah that's why the first 3 ones were such a it with the world. The 4th one was okay but after Team Silent split up it all went down hill and especially since the American's have taken over

  • even worse with the fact that Akira Yamaoka leaving the Silent Hill projects as well.. I really hope they can pull it back together but it seems unlikely.

  • The music is what got me interested in the games. I don't think Silent Hill will never be the same again :(

  • must be why silent hill shattered memories blowed cock.

  • @AkamaruXUchiha It IS why Shattered Memories sucked. I mean come on I want to fight not run, and the Otherworld was meant to be firey not icey

  • @FinalFantasyLov3r124, I disagree. I think Shattered Memories was great! Although it was short as hell, it's an amazing game!

  • @FinalFantasyLov3r124 America took over for the fourth game... had an interesting story... but it just blew... hard.

  • @GlowingGenetLoki They did? I thought they took over once Origins came out

  • @GlowingGenetLoki

    No, the new developers took over after SH4: The Room. I personally loved SH4 for it's symbolism and the fact that Silent Hill was still portrayed as hell reaching out to nearby towns who have had a connection with the town. I really don't see much symbolism in the new games. Team Silent, the original team, disbanded after SH 4.

  • @GlowingGenetLoki No, you are wrong. It was fter 4. It's even listed when you pop in Silent Hill 4. The name of the team is "Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo". The same developers as the first 3 SH games. The new developers were "Climax Studios", developers of SH:0rigins and Shattered Memories, and "Double Helix", the developers of SH: Homecoming. Konami handed the series to another developer and I'm hearing rumors that the next SH game may be a crappy 1st person shooter.

  • @Mini2999 A first person shooter? Excuse my French from the depths of Silent Hill... but what the fuck?

    Why do all my favourite games get raped? Bet it's because of that sucky trend of dumb Non-Skill FPS's that Modern Worstfare started. Why can't people make intelligent well thought out masterpieces like Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid anymore?

    Sorry, didn't mean to direct all of that at you, but I'll stop now because I could rant for YEARS... ;)

  • @CohenTheWhiteRabbit

    Hey, I don't blame you. The Silent Hill franchise was an amazing psychological horror storyteller. It was amazing right after the original team disbanded after SH 4. When Origins and Homecoming came out, I was completely disappointed. This proved to me that Konami no longer cares for it's franchise. They are using it as a money maker. 0rigins and Homecoming lacked of what previous games had. What I will tell ya is that Silent Hill died right after 4.

  • @CohenTheWhiteRabbit

    PS: If you hadn't noticed, Team Silent, the original Silent Hill team, concluded Silent Hill with Silent Hill 3 and 4 being extra info.

  • @Mini2999 You're well read on games, I've only just started delving into which companies have bought which of my old favourites, like Pandemic Studios...

    I rated Silent Hill: The Room (Which I beleive was 4) as my favourite personally, though I know it got fairly negative response from most, but hey, the Black Sheep is usually one of the best, like C&C Generals and Zero Hour... but that's a whole other kettle of fish. :P

  • @CohenTheWhiteRabbit I agree 100% SH was art when Team Silent still made them.

  • @FinalFantasyLov3r124 a more in depth look into the human mind right? now thats what I call bR00t4L :3

  • Wow this song is beautiful!  Damn I love Silent Hill! Why did Team Silent have to split up?

  • Impresionante cancion. Y mas aún ambientada en Silent Hill 2. La banda sonora del juego es lo mejor, sin desmerecer del juegazo que es una obra maestra.

  • Speaking of Death Note play this song at the part where ertain character that is loved by everyone dies and then...Damn.

  • Haha,...uuum...wait that was a joke,right BigHash?

  • no..it was not a joke..silent hill is for adults only...not for brats!

  • I love this game. The story was extremely depressing. I miss the way Team Silent developed the series. The new developers seem to lack of what Team Silent originally did with the series. :'(

  • Yeah, I agree. The new American Developers seem to be forgetting a very important thing...ORIGINALITY. I mean seriously...they are just ripping off Team Silents work, rehashing monster, plots, etc. There's nothing that we haven't already seen. And so it's the same crap over and over again, except worse. So far Shattered Memories seems like something new and fresh, but it doesn't really look like SH. Well at leas they're trying something new. I don't think they'll ever surpass Team Silent though.

  • why doesn't team silent take over?..there solution solved..XD

  • @OmegaOwA : Wrong. They aren't good these days BECAUSE they are rehashing the same concepts, AND they aren't good because them being too original doesn't scream "Silent Hill" in many ways.

    They need to find a middle ground and rediscover the franchise. Or if you're like me, just say "Fuck it" and play SH 1-4 only.

  • @Haruchan2010 That's actually exactly what I was saying. I guess you misinterpreted what I meant by 'originality'. Nonetheless the new developers do need to find that middle ground...which is apparently extremely difficult judging by what we've been given. And yes, gladly there are the original SH games that are there for us to enjoy...and lament on what once was. :P

  • @OmegaOwA

    Shattered Memories only pushed forward a colder version of Alternate World. And not fighting (which pushed up the OH SHIT factor, because if you got a weapon, you can kick an ass.)

  • @Mini2999 You're right. Homecoming and SM are good games, but NOTHING compared to SH 1-4

  • @Mini2999 Shattered Memories was pretty good! A serious mindfuck, but good.

  • @WhiteN0iz I agree, but, what I'm referring to is the previous games and the current one the new developers are coming up with. It seems they are now using movie inspirations rather than scare you mentally and numb your senses.

  • One of my favorite end themes.

  • Am I the only person who thinks SH2's guitar-based music doesn't sound at least a little bit like some Opeth songs?

  • yes..you're the only one...XD!

  • meh...its just comments....if you let a little thing like that get to you...meh...what else can i say...lol

  • @LHCLEGION

    yeah, it does. it's a great sound, though.

  • Thank you. Someone gets it.

  • @LHCLEGION I agree it does a bit =D

  • sorry to burst your bubble or your balls...take your pick..:D...but it sounds nothing like death note...lol

  • death note is for kids, seeing a threesome rape, now that's some mature shit.

  • @nile1love I've seen Silent Hill 2 and Death Note and Silent Hill 2 has a more depressing and compelling story than death note does.

  • @nile1love who are you talking to?

  • @nile1love deathnotes not a song but it is a really good series :P
