Silent Hill 5 baby

Screens look awesome. Too bad I\'ll be traveling the world during SH H\'s launch.

So demented. Can\'t wait. Makes me want to give SH4 another try.

Doubt any of those are bosses as SH3 had similar sized/shaped unholy though non-boss critters.

Review is out, 7.7 /10

Not bad.....that score seems to be the average for this game.....I plan on getting this & dead space for christmas....as bad as i want to buy it now, i\'m just gonna wait...in the meantime...i might pick up Fallout & maybe Tomb raider or prince of persia when those games drop to keep me busy.

It looks like the combat might have made the game a bit less scary...we\'ll see,..i did think it made since for alex to be more capable since he is from the military. I\'m still getting this regardless.

Uhm...has anybody played this game yet? I could easily purchase it, but i want the wifey to get me this & dead space for x-mas..*yes i\'m still a kid at heart*.......but i know there are some horror heads up in hurr that must\'ve played it by now.....thoughts?

Had a little start session with the game today.

I need to get a bit used to these new controls & camera ; it feels pretty fluid.

Combat ; I got owned by a trio of nurses. Playing it on HARD.

Too early to draw real conclusions now. Will post upon more play.

Ahhh, i know that i could at least depend on you knotter,....since we both kinda frequent that "other" site......damn when i say that i feel like i\'m cheating on this site with another one......keep us updated on your progression, but uhm no spoilers please!!...

Alright, this game is a bit addictive.

Progress has been step by step, but that\'s because the game really is hard, playing on hard mode. I\'m past the 2nd bossfight atm.
Monsters actually pursue you through doors. Once they notice you, they\'ll barrage you, which makes the game more fastpaced. Even some of the nurses are no pushovers anymore. Shooting goes pretty well. Limited ammo of course.

Shepherd\'s Glen has it\'s own atmosphere but when you do reach Silent Hill, that SH feeling partially shines through again ; and I think it\'s a good thing it\'s not the same, for a change.

The background music is predominantly more \'clear\' instead of muddied/distorted. The monster alert mode does feature distortion background music though.

Character & plot development is good so far. Alex is a likeable lead.

For a game which had to be made on a tighter budget, you can see they did their best. Only \'lesser\' character model so far is [COLOR="Black"]Judge Holloway[/COLOR]. Lighting & shadowing is great.

Enjoying the game so far.

Let me ask you this,..have you spotted PH yet? and if so, does he have a significant role or is it just fan service as we\'ve seen in that clip where he just stares at alex and then moves on.

Dead Space > Silent Hill 5

Dead Space > Silent Hill 5

you completed both already ?

PH spotted, like in the clip ; I guess his relevance will made clear later in the game.

**slight spoiler**

PH [COLOR="Black"]does only a cameo role, [/COLOR]a sacrilegious breaking of SH law according to some would-be Silent Hill bible scholars, or as I like to call them, nut jobs.

I found SH5 a more than worthy addition to the series. Don\'t think any sequel can ever top the first SH but this one, at times, does a remarkable job bringing to life that hellishly corrupted world like never before.

Dead Space > Silent Hill 5

I could be alone on this- spent a few hours with Dead Space and don\'t consider these two games to be in the same league. Outside of the frequent pop scares the thing I feared most playing Dead Space was the idea of being stuck on that plain ugly ass spaceship for several more hours.[COLOR="Black"][/COLOR]

Afaik Dead Space\'s got it\'s own thread on this board - if not ; he should create a DS thread. He didn\'t need to come bringing in DS into this SH H thread.

I have only played SH2 & SH3 until SH Homecoming. So far, SH2\'s still my favourite, but I\'m having pretty good times with Homecoming  atm. Loving the ambient music in the Sewers.

Nope. Just my personal opinion.
