Silent Hill 3 - dissapointment in store
« on: May 04, 2003, 05:35:00 PM »
Just some hands on time with SH3...those who was all hyped up about the hi-res graphics in this game..well, good and bad. the texture does seems more varied than the usual PS2 games (although I don\'t like the colour scheme as it was all too brownish...but I guess that\'s the artist direction)

The BAD news...the ridiculous "grain filter" from SH2 is back to mar the graphics...i don\'t really know why they still want to do that!!! Also, the animation of the main character isn\'t up to expectation...kinda stiff.

I haven\'t really play this game so no comment on the gameplay.

Anyway, it was a dissapointment.

It gives a "i\'m doing shitty graphics so I better grain it to hide the flaws" sense...

I believe the PC version of SH2 has the grain removed..(correct me if I\'m wrong).

I think it\'ll look 10 times better without the grain.

The PC/Xbox/PS2 Greatist Hits versions all had options that let you remove the grain.

I believe SH3 has that option as well.

But I think it\'s awesome.

Besides, the grain has been in most of the screenshots.

look you can switch the grain filter on and off in SH2 and i\'d imagine it will be the same with SH3, so quit yer bitchin\'.  SH3 had some of the best graphics on PS2 and SH3 looks like it is at least as good. show me one other title which has characters and faces that detailed in game. most games put better graphics in the enviroment and forget about character models, so they come out blocky or just bland, with SH2 and 3, you can the wrinkles on people\'s faces. the only other games with models this detailed were Shenmue 1&2 on the dreamcast and xbox.
i like the grain as well, it makes it feel less like a video game and more like a film.

:o Ugh... The game is getting 90 + scrores in magazines as we speak. Also, like all others here, the grain really adds in a positive
way. Yes, without it the engine looks really good too. LOL can\'t imagine it took a step backwards after SH2 :rolleyes: . This is not a crystal clear horror themed action game like DMC, SH3 is like all SH games about style and atmosphere and getting into ppl\'s miinds. Such a in progress demo in a shop won\'t do it justice. You gotta play the final product late at night in a low lit room.

Wrinkles?? err...that\'s only in the cutscene which looks like FMV.

And no, I don\'t see any grain filter...i don\'t believe there was one in SH2(PS2 version) either. And it doesn\'t feel more like a film...just a very grainy looking game...reminds me of oatmeal and wheat bread or something..Ha!

Dude, Im confused. Where did you get to play this? Or did you only get to see a vid of it or something?

I thought this game was still a fair way off before release.
