okey this is going to be a dumb question, but what's silent hill zero?

[Cyborcat]

@The38DODGE It's what they called Silent Hill 0rigins in Japan.

[aaron75fy]

@Cyborcat out of ilde curiosity, how did you find out about the red god in silent hill? i just wonder if it's the soundtrack to sh3 like i did

[Cyborcat]

@aaron75fy The Red God in general, or the idea that it could be PH? I didn't make the connection until I read Silent Pyramid's FAQ, but I remembered it from the SH3 soundtrack.

[TheeOneWhoTalks]

If I may ask, what is your favorite video game, if that is you have one? Now if you answer in this video or in 4b I'm very sorry, I tend to comment as I watch the videos.

[Cyborcat]

@TheeOneWhoTalks Hard to choose, but quite possibly Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Not necessarily the best I've played, but it's my personal favorite.

"I found the key!"

lol I love Darrin's character in Silent Horror.

To be honest though, I'd say I'm not thrilled on Silent Horror as a whole. it was the first movie directed by Rory (who plays as Snake in their Metal Gear Solid movie) and even he says Silent Horror isn't that good. I personally would have prefered that they stick with one Silent Hill story line and not try to combine 1, 2, and 3. but most of all what I dont like is that the girl they got in one of the lead roles... can't act!!

[MegaBearsFan]

I do agree with you about the Silent Hill movie sucking though, and Christoph Gans deserving to be drug out into the street and shot (metaphorically, not literally). To it's credit though, the movie does do a pretty good job of maintaining the tone and pacing of the first and third games. It just manages to get EVERY SINGLE FRIGGIN DETAIL ABOUT EVERYTHING IN SILENT HILL wrong.

[MegaBearsFan]

I object to the interpretation of Pyramid Head as a "rapist". I realize that it's a common interpretation for fans of the series, but I just don't feel that it's a characterization that is warranted within context of the entire game. Visit my blog (the site is linked from my profile) and search for "Pyramid Head" if you're interested in my reasons why.

[kenundying]

Awh, I can't watch this on my iPod :(

[Nekhet]

@RetroMarionette Hollywood tends to ruin almost any foreign movie or TV-series, they get their hans on. And the same goes for videogames:S

[Nekhet]

@Rezz316 Well, it´s definintly better than most other "games-made-into-movies" I´ve seen:S

Yes, I´m looking at you Hitman and Resident Evil!!

[Rezz316]

I was actually a big fan of the movie since I thought it did a good job kinda following the soul of the Silent Hill games. I'm eagerly anticipating the 2nd movie.

[reAADPLaces]

I just pricked myself! lol

[Rendez333]

WOAH WOAH

Again with the pyramid thing. HES NOT OVERUSED. And Team Silent doesnt just use him because "it caters to the fans". Read my comments on part 1. Also, thats a rather crude comment. People like pyramid head. I dunno why myself, but they do. Doesn't mean you say "AILL COM @ U WIF A PILOH". Another crude comment of the movie. Seriously?

[0prosthetics0]

i think gans did a decent job but it could have been so much better, at least uwe boll didnt get his hands on the rights to silent hill D:
