Hey Everybody! I have just released my new electronic album “Sub-Zero” which is heavily influenced by the world of Silent Hill and the music of Akira Yamaoka. If you're interested you can listen to the full album on my youtube channel, as well as download the album for free!
I really miss Akira doing work for silent hill, i love his music, and iw as mad to hear he's not doing Downpour. But Downpour really looks like it could revitalize the series, and after hearing some of what Dan Licht (w/e his name is) can do, i feel like it won't be too bad, especially for downpour, it fits.I'd much rather have Akira doing it of course, his musics amazing!
@MrNicktheparakeet 5 was more visually ok to me. Like the plot was kind of a copy of 2's plot with some 3 thrown in. Also the characters didn't do it for me...I didn't feel attached to any of them. They felt underdeveloped. but that's just my take on it :)...I will definitely buy 6 though because I have every Silent Hill game lol
@melancholymistress89...I completely agree...I mean first Team Silent, then Akira, and now the very familiarity of Silent Hill is gone. I honestly don't understand why they completely threw away the actual town itself. I wish the fans could design these games...
Hey everybody - I just released my solo album "Mirror Image" that contains ambient songs (and upbeat songs) heavily inspired by the world of Silent Hill and Akira Yamaoka, so if you're interested you can check out the songs on my youtube page. Also, links to my myspace page and places to download the full album are on my youtube channel as well :) . Safe travels, keep your flashlight on and your radio close...
Origins was decent. Homecoming was a slight disapointment. Shattered Memories was a HUGE disapointment.
If they get the gameplay decent in 8, it will just be meh. Without Akira, You won't feel the atmosphere in the music. Akira sent shivers down your spine, no-one can replace him.
@9rmetal It's supposed to be a reimagining of the first one. But you can't walk or run like in the original and you don't fight enemies. The plot is not the same AT ALL. There is no Alessa and you don't even stay in Silent Hill.
Akira's done after Shattered Memories. What...will they do? The music is gone!!! They would need to cross the vast world looking for someone and they wouldn't find anybody because Akira is the only guy that can make such disturbing/awesome music!
It just won't be Silent Hill anymore. In my opinion the gameplay died with Homecoming. Without Akira, it will just be an empty American shell with 'Silent Hill' stamped on it. Someone would REALLY have to study and know the previous games to ever manage to come close to replicating the atmosphere or style.
@melancholymistress89 I can see why you wouldn't like homecoming, but I still think it really had that Silent Hill feel to it, personally. It's sad how many people bash it. D:
@KaminaClose One of the major things about the other Silent Hill games was that the world always seemed very open, even when it wasn't. You didn't come across locked doors very often, and when you did there was a reason. A lot of little things had meaning to them and all of it together made a very tactile game. Most of Homecoming felt like walking down a hallway with arrows on the floor, with locked doors around every corner. Plus things seemed to be put in without reason, like Pyramid Head.
@melancholymistress89 I hit locked doors all the time in the Silent Hill 2 and 3 yeah 1 didn't have many but don't say that you didn't hit many in all of the other games...locked doors are actually a good addition to a horror game...especially when you're being chased by a monster and you're out of ammo...
@Arella17 I never said that I didn't hit any locked doors, just not as many as in Homecoming. There was never really a chance to get lost, which I always thought was more terrifying when out of ammo or being chased. Locked doors do have their place and can be useful, but when they are used to basically 'guide' the player through a game it becomes boring.
@melancholymistress89 true in shatterd memories the story made no sense compared to the original and had a little sense of horror because you can tell when and where the monsters are coming there are only two monstersand no way to kill them
@IcyDeath7 They could have made a REALLY horrific Silent Hill game with the idea that you can't kill the monsters, but since all of the monster encounters are basically instanced it doesn't really matter. But I have a good imagination, so I just put the original story with the new graphics and went my own merry way.
@abysmalvsmarcus I would agree with completely except for the fact that Homecoming had a few good songs and the game play was generally good (if over simplified and a bit monotonous). And since Akira Yamaoka is not going to be working on the soundtracks of any further Silent Hill games (after Homecoming) I feel that the game series died with that game.
@melancholymistress89 I said it died because silent hill 4 the room was going to be a totally different game. The people who made it just gave them the rights to the game and just painted the silent hill atmosphere with the engine, they slapped walter sullivan on it and it then it became a silent hill franchise. I'm using the term "franchise" loosely tho
@melancholymistress89 i havent finished homecoming yet, i suffered from having a glitch in the hotel level. I saved the game and suddenly the room i was suppose to go to i cant have access to it now, and it appears im not the only one cuz i see people complaining about it on youtube as well.
@abysmalvsmarcus I honestly think that Homecoming was rushed out by what were basically fan boys of the original games. So there are A LOT of glitches, and the story is very shallow with not much thought behind the use of certain monsters (particularly the Red Pyramid who was a major symbol in the second game). Don't worry, you aren't alone!
It's an ok game, but throughout the whole thing I really couldn't shake the feeling that they were just rehashing Silent Hill 2 and expecting us to be too stupid to notice.
@melancholymistress89 in my opinion silent hill died when team silent was disbaned, none of the american made, climax silent hills are macht to the real silent hills, by japanese team silent. im going to miss this old best ever scary game series, that where silent hill 1 to 4 ;(
@melancholymistress89 I agree with you all most completely but my only hopes rely on the protege Akira left behind with the company, whom he said, worked closely with him threw out the series
Ugh... Akira, you put so much emotion into everything you've ever done with Silent Hill. I can only applaud your excellence and your greatness. Please keep making Silent Hills and making amazing soundtracks for every game.
@Sephymuffins Guys, I know he made wonderful music, and it was fun while it lasted but let him go. He wants to move on and do music for other games (maybe movies too) besides. If he did something this good for Silent hill Imagine what he could do for other games. Now what I wanna know is why did they give Silent Hill to U.S.? Wouldn't it have made more sense to give it to another company from Japan? I truly think what makes SH scary is because we are seeing how Japan views American Horror.
Ahhhh, The Room wasn't better than 3rd or 2nd part but it still was Silent Hill ;) Awesome game! I wish that americans could recreate atmosphere of this silent town in Homecoming.
oh yeah,i preordered the game way back in the day and got a SH4 original soundtrack. i still have it to...hmmm,i wonder what i can get on e-bay for it?
the guy writing all over himself is joseph. he's the one who tells henry to kill walter before you enter the last battle. i like this vid,the tender sugar song is one of my favorite songs from the games.
4 people were sexual assaulted by PH and chainsawed by Walter.
