Some new Silent Hill 4 images

Syed Fawad · March 31st, 2004

there you go. Multilayer texturing at its best on the PS2:

ShadowDancer · March 31st, 2004

Is the grainy look an effect? I don't like it but I guess you have to play it to appreciate the look I suppose.

Phoenix · March 31st, 2004

I've never liked such noise effect. Leggy nurse though

, look at those jaggies in the second screenshot. The 20th screenshot look like a RE environment.
Anyway this game looks creepier than the previous ones, graphically still promising from what I can watch here.

Carmofin · March 31st, 2004

its looking very fresh and creative, much unlike its precedessor.
im starting to get really interessted about this game!

Yes, the grainy look is any additional effect, which you were able to turn off in SH2 and SH3 and most probably SH4. I am not sure, but removing it gives cool graphics and adding it gives another of taste of environment.

I'm not sure if you knew this already, but IIRC you can no long just pause the game by going into your inventory. It's do or die. If you don't have weapons when you need them, you're screwed. In other words, the inventory menu is now "real time" Still I can't wait for this game. I just wish RE4 was released for PC. I also hope this comes to PC though I'm quite sure it should......I hope

i bet i can still hide in the map though ;>

I hope they change the inventory layout then....
I hope there's some more "weaponless" combat. I mean, this guy should be able to kick and punch, like we saw Leon in Re4.

Phoenix · April 18th, 2004

Actually such feature would be great, I don't know if you adventured through the nasty RE remake mode where the items in the box were no longer linked, that's a good way to plan what you'll be using for the next stages of the game. Now regarding SH this would add huge amounts of pains in the arse thus enhancing the fear factor and the gameplay as well.
I second that the inventory layout should be improved/changed, now thta you mention it, it's ugly and kind of hard to use, not "easy going" menus neither.

Violineb, I'm still waiting RE remake and the other games to be ported to PC, maybe someday.

Violineb · April 19th, 2004

Well if Capcom were anything like newegg.com then emails would easily sway them into porting RE back to PC. I complained to newegg, as well as like a gazillion other people and the prices have finally went back down somewhat

Now if only RE4 wasn't going to be a GCN exclusive. I can't stand Gamecube.....for no reason really. I just don't know why. I think it's the controller.

jareg · April 19th, 2004

Nice

Always liked Silent Hill and always will

Syed Fawad · April 20th, 2004

Hmmm. I am thinking about getting into Silent Hill gear and start something in the games discussion. See ya all there

kr0n0s · April 20th, 2004

Capcom has laid off their PC development division due to poor finance. You probably won't see any PS2 port to PC games for a while. As for the Silent Hill series, it looks promising but I think they have run out of fresh ideas. I hope it doesn't come to RE series whereas the games keep using its old ideas and one simple story.

Old ideas and simple story. Sorry but I don't see that happening in the SH series, not at least in SH4.

Phoenix · April 23rd, 2004

Simply SH is developing/polishing the story, it's still a young/exploitable franchise, still has a lot to offer while RE needs a great finale.

Syed Fawad · April 24th, 2004

Great finale you say? I think Capcom has other ideas.

I mean, Leno seems to be in a totally different place with totally different ppl (may be). It has I guess something to do with brainwashing.

In the trailer I saw, at the end a gong ranged and everyone left Leon alone in the village. What's that about?

Phoenix · April 25th, 2004

Well I was thinking about the finale some time ago, after watching the trailer, I cannot assume anything, after playing the game definetely the whole RE concept can has its revolutionary change.

I just watched the trailer, I'm really impressed about the new game features added on it, it really increased my curiosity about the game, seems that the good stuff is about to come after the villagers ran out of there Fawad, who knows?.

And did you saw the monsters. Not very REish I say. The boat part looked utter cool though.

Phoenix · April 26th, 2004

Yeah, specially the acuatic worm, it remembered me Dino Crisis 2 blowing out the dinos. But the atmosphere created by the trailer is damn good, just look how the heads blowing up with the shotgun

, maybe what is intrigating is the fact that there's no zombies around.
WTF with that Sherry Birkin photo?

Sherry Birkin...remind me, I forgot this one...

And that huge hulk thing, that just can't be a mutation, can it be? It was TOO "neat" for mutation
