Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
Well, the Premiere was last night (Halloween, 9PMET/6PM)...
It was definitely rough, which was extremely disappointing, but almost to be expected of a historic event like this. The skeletal structure of this horror ID (Interactive Drama) is strong, but all the guts and even the skin of it are weak.
1.) Please don't spend any money on this "game", it is so obviously a cash-grab. Purchasing cosmetics for your avatar, and then spending even more money for the chance of your avatar appearing in a future installment of the series. Plus, the pay-to-win model of having to spend cash for influence points so you can control the course of events.
2.) The stream itself wasn't the greatest quality, I guess there was a QTE (quick-time event) towards the end of the premiere in which one of the main characters was fleeing a monster, but I didn't even see it, too much stuttering and poor latency. None of the community understood how to perform the actions either which led to the failure of the QTE which is supposed to make it harder for the character to survive.
3.) Ugly game graphics for what is slated as a "show" from a streaming service. People waited 10 years, and it broke pre-registration records, just to be unable to study the monsters or imagery? I think not.
4.) The pacing is way too fast for the story to develop any of the atmospheric suspense or tension from the game series. Bounces between two character plots with no warning, and every minute or so. We have also been given no time to care about any of the characters, we're just thrown into a woman dying and a man's dying wife treating him like shit and supposed to decide these people's fates.
5.) Unmoderated live group chat for a semi-popular piece of pop-culture...nuff said.
Idk, I genuinely want to appreciate and enjoy this very cool contemporary idea. But, if the premiere is any indicator of how the remainder of this is going to go, it's gonna suck and it's gonna defile the legacy of Silent Hill forever. It's supposed to dictate canon, and it could just go so horribly off the rails. I don't think it was what anybody expected. I wanted to play a game with an entire community or fanbase of one of my favorite horror franchises. The only puzzle solving you can do is essentially pixel chasing for more influence points.
Anybody else watch this and have a similar negative experience, and a bad taste in their mouth afterwards?
hello! i saw you mentioned streaming at some point, and i was wondering if you stream somewhere? i tried looking but couldn't find anything. very sorry if i got confused.
sometimes i join discord calls with friends and stream my art or games, but i dont actually stream on any public platforms like twitch or youtube. id love to someday though!!
It's been sitting on Scott's PS4 for 9 years and it's finally time to play it. Blind playthrough of PT but taking very important measures to avoid being scared.
If I don't get my daughter this slime she's going to have a meltdown and embarrass me at the silent hill outback steakhouse I CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN | It's more silent Hill LIVE on twitch!
"Wait, apparently marketing announced the release date being earlier than it was"
"I bet they did"
"A writer in the know who has worked on past games is warning that the remake will 'make people angry'."
"I bet they did"
"Tell me
>Isn't this like your ur-fandom? Why are you so deceased about it?"
"I'm not deceased"
"You are dead on the inside. I know. *I'm inside you*."
"Show me the article?"
"Here, look at this bit."
"Speaking with PCGamesN at GDC 2023, Barlow believes that the Silent Hill 2 remake is a difficult task to fulfill:
{...} It’s also like the biggest poison chalice in videogames, doing a remaster of Silent Hill 2. I mean, good luck to them because I don’t know how you can do that without upsetting people.
"There you go. The biggest poison chalice in video games."
"This is erasing its very source material."
"It's not a poison chalice, it's a ritual chalice"
"I don't care if it's a cereal chalice, I forgot that fucker for two playthroughs"
"We all forgot the chalice. You are seen.
But the point is..."
"That's where you figure it's headed?"
"When was the last time you heard someone go 'Now THAT'S Silent Hill?"
"--about a Silent Hill property, not an imitator or indie game, discounting any canceled projects and commercial tie-ins."
"Take a miracle. Nothing short of a miracle."
"Hey, this is upper motor functioning. You dumbasses hit the polls button."
"So hit it again?"
"Yeah, we tried that, it's not going away."
"Well, what are we supposed to to about it?"
"Folks upstairs are of the opinion that you either make a poll and get on with it, or we're gonna give you synapse wedgies and drag you around the track."

a man self immolated in front of the israeli embassy in washington dc yesterday. not just any man. an active member of the us air force. he live streamed his death, and said that he refused to be complicit in a genocide any longer. he said that compared to what palestinians were facing every day, setting himself alight was nothing.
let me reiterate. an active duty air force member burned himself alive because he was so disgusted by what the us government was openly supporting. he live-streamed his own suicide, so the whole world could bear witness as a man in his military uniform set himself on fire to protest his government’s complicity in the horrors that we have all been forced to watch happen in real time. he became a new horror. footage of the immolation blurs him out the moment the fire catches, but you can hear him. it is over in seconds, really, but you can hear him screaming. he shouts “free palestine” until his body physically cannot make any sounds other than guttural screams of agony. and then he falls silent. a police officer arrives and points a gun at his still burning body, shouting at him to get down on the ground. and it is over.
his name was Aaron Bushnell. he was twenty five years old. and he isn’t here anymore because the political ruling class has decided that genocide is perfectly fine as long as it preserves imperialism. in the coming days, people will try to discredit him. to say that he was mentally unstable. they will try to bury his actions to save face and defend israel’s propaganda. do not let them. aaron knew what he was doing. he knew what he was doing when he put on his military uniform, set up his twitch stream, and made his final walk up to the embassy. he knew what would happen to him when he flicked that lighter. do not let them forget. aaron’s blood is on the hands of the political ruling class.
