I saw maybe 2 jump scares and I did say it's /closer/ to SH1-4, not like them. It's made in the style of one of those crap indie horror games, but it does fuck with your head nicely. (As in, it builds a good atmosphere of oppression and helplessness.)
Where can I download it? Google doesn't get me any links.I have to tell you honestly that if you don't feel SH vibes you probably watched a video of this rather than play it yourself. Which is sad, it's a good experience, a bit like The Room.
Oh, right, I must have been thinking of MGS5 having a PC version.PS4 only, so far.
And yeah, there are jump scares. But I think jump scares are fine as long as that's not all there is, and it seems as if they're aiming for mood too.
Hasn't Silent Hill always been open world to an extent? The first three games at least are primariily you wandering through the township itself from point A to point B, with the game openly encouraging you to search every nook and cranny for supplies and weird shit (i.e. the "THERE WAS A HOLE HERE, IT'S GONE NOW" wall is seen in a building which isn't necessary to enter in order to progress through the game).Open world Silent Hill. Good or bad idea? Discuss!
I hear Shattered Memories is alright, though it's barely a Silent Hill game and it isn't scary by any stretch of the imagination. Downpour is sub-par and Origins is shit.This game looks like boring scare jump crap. Not interested.
But is any SH past 4 worth playing? I loved SH 1-4, but totally lost interest afterwards. I played Homecoming later, but it was boring.
Same as SH2 biggest clishe in gaming namely amnesia. You don't know about it until like half of game or more.
As for western releases, creators simply don't know source material they are working with. They see Piramid Head, they see in it cool monster but not SH2 only monster. They don't know that each monster in each game is actually differnent and all of them have their own place is each one SH nightmare. Like for example nurses.

To an extent I agree and disagree. They know what they're working with, it's just that they see Silent Hill 2 as the apex of the series and the quintessential example of what Silent Hill should be, and thus endlessly crib off of it. It's why every single game they've done has an amnesiac protagonist (or in Downpour's case, in denial, which is essentially handled the same way story-wise) without understanding what made it interesting in Silent Hill 2, and how every single game they've done has some character who tries to get the main character to come to terms with their 'guilt', often carrying a giant weapon around and wearing some kind of head ornament (though not in Shattered Memories, where this role is taken by Dr. Kaufman), and how every single time it's revealed that the amnesia is the result of the death of a loved one to the main character. To them, Silent Hill is a spooky ghost town and all the Silent Hill games are about is coming to terms with guilt. This simply is not the case.Same as SH2 biggest clishe in gaming namely amnesia.

Actually those two nerds proved in their videos that they (devs of new games) don't know their source material. Not only they don't know their source material but also lie about knowing it repeatedly. They didn't even watch superb Silen Hill making off doc which is especially visible in HD remakes of voices as all quirks of characters which were put intentionally are gone and are ly down like for dumb people by SH creators.
