NEW SILENT HILL 4: The Room screens!

I playied a demo of the game today.Actually I am impressed
Graphics are certaintly a lot better than SH2 now that I ve actually tried the game.Not as good as SH3 but still very nice.But it has some very cool looking effects that werent present in such a degree or in such way in SH3
Also it\'s way too twisted.And its just the beginning of the story.Very interesting.It absorbs you.Its very interesting.You get the chance to return to his room in some areas and sometimes you get to find small differences in his appartment like something that is written on the wall that wasnt before etc.
You explore both his room (in first person mode) and the "other world" and both are very interesting.But especially his room.
The game so far still doesnt seem as sinister as previously IMO.But its still nice from what I ve playied.But thats just the beginning.
The new "dog monsters" suck IMO btw though.The good think is that they are way too fast but their looks sucks.And so teh sound they make.They sound like panthers.I didnt finish the demo yet.Its harder than the other games.I didnt find any health drinks at all.I had to return to the appartment to gain health and you get to return to your room only in some areas of the twisted world.

Not to bad news. Reading this and watching those videos actually have me a little more interested.

hmmm..interesting. this article gives off the vibe that they are getting tired of the series..could be that they are just talking about japanese players...i don\'t know..i hope they don\'t can the series,..as i feel american players have a far more greater interest in it...

Tired of the SH series?What about the Resi series?We ve got more than 6 Resis

nobody coped this yet?..gamespot gave it a 7.9...ign 8.0...the scores a little low,..because it\'s more of the same..which is fine by me actually..i really get the silent hill joints for the story anyway...but what i don\'t like is that you have to keep goin\' back to the room to drop off items..ala res evil..that was a bad idea..yea i know it\'s kinda unrealistic to be carrying all those items, but now it seems you\'re just gonna be goin back and forth..couple that with ghosts that don\'t die..and i think this silent hill is probably a bit more difficult than the rest....

i applaud them in a sense for trying something new...but that aspect of running back to the room to drop stuff off is just going to end up being a tediuos chore..i\'ll probably still pick it up tho...

Kind of the same?Judging from the demo I ve playied SH4 has more differences compared to previous SHs than what Resi:Code veronica, and a few others had compared to Resi 1 and 2.Pfft

I just read some more previews and reviews like on Gamespy. I\'m getting a bit to play it !

True, but if you havent been paying attention, Res Evil 4 looks like it will bring a whole new experience to the table. Though i wont be playing it just because I dont have a GC and dont feel like puchasing one just for it.

Yeah I know.Thats why I didnt mention specifically Resi4.But games like Code Veronica, Zero, Resi1 remake etc got high reviews depiste not offering anything remarkably new.

^^^yea i thought code veronica was pure garbage...the one saving grace for silent hill has always been the atmosphere...and the fact that you know you\'re almost always going to be playin as a new character with some type of shady past, as opposed to the res evil universe where you know you\'re goin to be playin characters of past titles...yea i know that both titles go for different types of scares, i guess you can say i prefer silent hill\'s pyschological (spel) scares moreso than res evil\'s shock scares...

Silent Hill 4 is awesome, but I would say it\'s so close to being as good as Silent Hill 2.  IMO, I thought the third installment was good, but not as good as 2, or 4!  You should buy it or rent it for a few days.  If you are a die hard fan of Silent Hill it\'s a must buy.  I hope they continue the series.  I love KONAMI!:D

I just bought this game.   I\'m at the forest area now and it\'s getting twisted.   The floating ghost is really freaky.  I\'m freaking lost now. lol!

This game feels more RE then Silent Hill I think because of the big open areas but still the Silent Hill eerie is there.  Great game!

Its true.The surroundings are more open this time.Visibility also stretches farther.No fog, no flashlight from what I ve seen from the demo.They shouldnt have taken these out.But still I enjoyied the demo a lot and I believe SH4 worths playing

Did you notice in the SH4 manual, A candle as one of the items? I hope thats light.  I\'m at the Water Prison level and just killed two 2 headed babies.  :eek:

Nope because I only tried a demo version if you are talking to me.I am definetely buying it thats for sure
