Why do the silent hill games always look so damn good and atmospheric?

They were straight up comfy some of the time, which made the horror stand out

>>381154120
I listen to End of Small Sanctuary when driving home at sunset.
Silent Hill 3 is chill as fuck.

>>381153710
is there any general consensus on what this meant?

>>381154347
I believe that its because the game has a theme of sexual frustration.
>the leg enemies
>the armless men are like condoms.
James wants to fuck Mary but can't cuz she was sick in the hospital.
The hole means her vagina.

>>381154847
No, you're a vagina

>>381154847
I always considered this the answer, though not a very good one.

>>381155659
the other popular theory is that they were thinking ahead to Silent Hill 4 and are talking about the holes that Henry goes through.

>>381154847
Fuck off, Tomm.

>>381156391
Was that Tomm's explanation for it?

I always thought the hole thing is about James memory loss.

>>381156180
I don't think they went that far with it.

>>381157760
my first explanation about the hole being a vagina is the one i believe more.
I think we'll never know the real meaning and thats why its so great.

>>381157595
I never thought of that before.

>>381158145
I agree. Those random messages and areas that have no direct link to the story added to the atmosphere. The cryptic feel they gave was not only creepy, but added to the town's personality.

Post more Heather you niggers

Why's the H in hole capitalized though? I feel like it might lend to the sex thing, if you consider the "Hole" is being personified as mary.

Am I a pleb if the whole psychological aspect of the game just went went way over my head?

>>381154347
Many people believe it refers to Historical Society hole others believe it refers toa "supernatural" hole like the ones from SH: The Room.

Yes. Play the games again, but this time try to think of how the world surrounding the main character(s) describes them.

It's at least fun to watch in /v/ streams and make fun of it.

Should I?

>>381153710
Silent Hill 2's cutscenes are fucked up for me on PCSX2.

But the textures are gonna make me cum, this game/series is my happy place.

>>381154308

End of Small Sanctuary is one of the best songs from the series. It's a pity it's so short, I'd love an extended version (that worked well).

>>381161484
How are they fucked up? A lot of problems can be solved by switching to software rendering. Unless you just mean the resolution isn't good enough.

>>381154347

I always thought it was just a fun reference to Stephen King (I think?).
The game is full of references to horror authors.

Post the hot and sweaty image of Heather, always makes me laugh

The FMV's were grey/ no picture with audio I fixed that by using software rendering. Now they just stutter like a mug, which I suppose I can live with.

>>381162117
>>381162015
I'm assuming the stuttering is due to a lower fps, in which case you have 2 options
1. Lower the resolution and any other graphical improvements you might have applied
2. get a better computer
You could also enable frame skipping, but that would just ruin the cutscene in its own way.

>>381160745
>see fucking Pyramid Head fighting a mannequin thing and almost puke

Holy shit this is the point I left the theater. Couldn't handle it anymore. It was dreadful.

>>381154347

In the broader context of the game, I took at as a foreshadowing of the hole you jump down to get to the prison later in the game.

Just play the PC port. Only thing it's missing are soft shadows at this point.

>>381164828
Making the story simpler than the game. This is what people don't understand simple stories work for movies, if you wnat complicated stories get TV series, book, or other media like games.

Definitely not the acting of Mitchell and the little girl that's for sure. It was cool seeing Pyramid Head, which should be a complaint since he had no reason to be in any world but James' but as a fan, it was really fucking cool seeing his reveal. Too bad the movie's a solid 5/10 at best, there were some really genuinely cool moments.

>>381153710
I never understood what this meant. Like Mary vagina hole, and now that she's dead it's no longer there?

>>381165282
the music from the games is good.
The transformation into the otherworld is cool too.
The ending is really fuckin weird.

Shattered memories wasn't scary at all. the monster were annoying rather than scary

/ooblag at that one site named after that thing Michael J Fox does

>>381169021
Between that great screech and the frantic pace you had to keep up, I found them suitably scary. More scary than weak hallway enemies that you kill with zero effort with a hammer or pipe anyway.

SH1 is better than SH2 in many aspects.

>SH1
Best ambient sounds
Best enviroment
Best scary moments (Both psychological and jumpscares)
Best OST (Probably controversial because some people like SH2 instrumental OST, but SH1 OST is more raw, more "scary")
Best battle gameplay (SH2 is extremely clumsy and slow compared to SH1 battles)
Best enemy design except for Pyramid Head
Best intro

>SH2
Best graphics
Best voice acting
Better characters
Better plot (Arguably because I like The whole cult storyline, but the psychological stuff from SH2 is great)
Best storyline

I liek them both in different ways

This is the best modern Silent Hill game. Down Dour and Homecoming tried to take Silent Hill into the next generation but failed. Downpour and Homecoming were too combat focused. Shattered Memories didn't have to deal with shit combat because there was no combat.
I'd like to see another Silent Hill game in the style of shattered memories. Perhaps Silent Hill 3 or 4 re-imagined.

>>381170274
I wouldn't mind seeing another SM, but remaking SH3 or SH4 in it's style would ruin those games.

>>381170514
I don't think it would. It didn't ruin SH1.

>>381170619
Oh, you mean reimagining, derp.

Would kind of lose the appeal when you know the gag.

>>381170264

How do I get over my intense fear? I seriously can't play for more like 10 mins without wanting to run away from the computer.

Why are horror games like silent hill appealing to people? Is it because we long for an adventure away from it all? Away from the rat race? Just us alone in an abandoned town facing our fears and conquering them?

>>381170902
why would you play a horror game if you don't want to be scared? what's the point?

year of the ladybug never

silent hills never

this style of horror never

>>381171670
thats some deep shit.

>>381169021
I like Shattered Memories for the soundtrack, the atmosphere and the pretty cool story.

>>381171821
Death Stranding never.

>>381170274

I love Shattered Memories.

90% of the reason it worked was because it completely ignored the other games and has it's own stand-alone version of Silent Hill the town.

>>381164828
Apparently the director was a huge fan of the games. Pretty detailed too. I guess the wife alone had like 30 different versions of the one outfit she wore throughout the movie.
