Some critics praised it as a general improvement over the originals, [2] [5] [27] while others expressed more mixed feelings about it. [24] [25] Issues with the audio syncing with the character animations was remarked on, [3] [25] [26] and some critics wrote that the subtitles had not been updated to reflect the few changes made to the script. [25] [28] The absence of bonus material drew criticism from some reviewers as well. [24] [29] Light and sound are the other two major elements that comprise the creepy atmosphere. The developers ration out the former in puddles, and in both games you'll find yourself viewing most objects and enemies by flashlight. Silent Hill 2 makes great use of fog in outdoor areas as well, capturing the same mysterious effect as shadow. Meanwhile, spooky sounds come in horrifying abundance, from the static of your radio as you approach enemies to their moaning, screeching and wailing that accompanies most moments. At other times you'll simply hear a jarring combination of organic and mechanical sounds that seem to emanate from nowhere; in moments of clarity these can feel like unfortunate false alarms, but when you're at your most scared – as you likely will be for a great portion of the game – these are the sounds of Silent Hill itself creaking and crying out.

During Eddie's rant in the Labyrinth, when he says, "It doesn't matter if you're smart, dumb, ugly, pretty...", the subtitles say "your" instead of "you're". [9] Vincent tells Heather Mason (the reincarnation of Alessa) about Dahlia and that "she is your mother". This is corrected to as "she "was" your mother". From Pyramid Head to the Bubble Head Nurses, the best Silent Hill games are a masterclass in terror Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition also comes with a built-in CRT filter, however it seems intended for VERY high resolutions and looks awful at 1080p. The Frutbunn shader works for most cases and simulates the effect much better in my opinion. There are other CRT options within ReShade as well if you want to experiment. The VCR filter is neat for Shattered Memories especially. You don't have to stop there either, ReShade has tons of neat post-processing features! Just don't forget to actually play, okay?

It tried to mend the rift between the unorthodox Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and the rote Silent Hill: Homecoming by making the spookiest town in gaming a pseudo-open-world. And to its credit, developer Vatra Games succeeded in making the town of Silent Hill feel genuinely different. The ever-present fog, for example, is downplayed in favor of frequent, violent rainstorms that whip nearby enemies into a frenzy. The constant threat of rain makes exploring Silent Hill feel all the more threatening.Wheeler: "Alex, are you there?" Alex: "Wheeler, is that you?" Wheeler: "Talk quietly, Alex. Thank God you're okay. Listen, they've taken us to the prison. It's horrible. They took Elle, and they're about to..." The radio cuts out. Double Helix (September 30, 2008). Silent Hill Homecoming. Konami. Far from the return to form that its title implied, Silent Hill: Homecoming brushed aside many of the franchises conventions, even if it didn't wave away that dreadful fog. At its outset, everything about Homecoming seemed to trigger the skeptics alarm: it would be developed by a western studio, it would be published on multiple platforms, and it would introduce a new combat system. A combat system? In Silent Hill? Unbelievable. Silent Hill 3 put its own stamp on the distressing creations that fill Silent Hill's streets, with developer Team Silent producing a fascinating new look at horror from the perspective of a rather unique protagonist. The eerily empty environments of the first two games are well-executed here, but the game's at its best when the gore comes out, creating a version of Silent Hill's Otherworld that feels more morbid and suffocating than ever before. There's a truly truly disturbing atmosphere to Silent Hill 3, and that's a big part of its appeal. You may have noticed these effects came from RetroArch and they too will be found natively in RetroArch for Silent Hill and Play Novel: Silent Hill.

Why this D&D actual play series featuring the voices of Geralt and FF16's Clive is going to be the next big thing After Heather finds her father murdered, she finds Claudia and says, "I'll kill you, you bitch!'" rather than "I'll get you for this!". During the production of the Silent Hill HD Collection, senior associate producer Tomm Hulett was the target of harassment by a small portion of the Silent Hill fanbase, being blamed as the source of everything perceived as wrong in the series, including lost source code, the inclusion of new voice acting in the Silent Hill HD Collection, and that Silent Hill: Book of Memories was a dungeon crawler. [12] Release [ edit ]Available only on 2000's mobile devices. I don't know much about it, but this post goes into more detail on how to get it working. The texture of the water in Silent Hill 2, despite appearing with really bad textures, is the same texture that was used in the PlayStation 2 and PC version. But in the HD Collection, there is a layer of fog which is missing to conceal the textures.
