Walken
Why god? WHhhy did I read the plot line? Now I semi-know how I think it ends....NO!!!!
BurnSide
Really? I didn't get THAT much info from it.
Walken
It gives you the skeleton. I only wanted a finger nail sad.gif
BurnSide
haha, good way of putting it.
Walken
It is, isn't it?

I'm VERY special happy.gif
jpalz
Yay!! Thanks Burns, u rock!! thumbsup.gif
BurnSide
Yeah, i know. original.gif You're welcome.

God i'm DYING to see some monster sketches.

What do you guys think of the actress who plays Cybil? I think she can pull it off.
jpalz
Deborah Kara Unger? I've got faith on her.

I also believe Radha Mitchell will make a good performance, though I've only seen only one movie in which she acted ("Pitch Black")
BurnSide
I think Natasha Henstridge from Ghosts of Mars would have made a much better choice though.

Uuuuh.... where's the pic? I can't see it
BurnSide
For some reason i'm having trouble posting the one i wanted to.
Hold up, i'll get another one.
BurnSide

Not a very good pic.
But whenever i watch the movie, she always reminds me of Cybil.
seeking
i like angelina jolie....but i dont think her playing the lead would be "realistic" as she is not so average looking, if you get what im saying, excellent finds BS, i absolutly can not wait for this movie to come out
Shakezulah
yeah ur right BS, Natasha Henstridge does look a lot like Cybil. she would be great to play her in the movie, but o well. man i havent watched GoM in so long.
BurnSide
Also added to the cast, Sean Bean! Boromir.
jpalz
Groovy.... this keeps getting better and better yes.gif
Walken
Yup. He's quite a good actor too, if you look beyond the mainstream, that is.

I'm actually thinking more and more about how it might not be too bad. It won't be the masterpeice I'm sure it could be, but it will be good to watch. I'm just worried they'll pull a RE on it.
BurnSide
I seriously doubt it, and i'm quite skeptical to videogame movies.
I mean, they haven't made a good one yet, so it's any wonder. laugh.gif But i seriously think this will be done well.
Walken
Well SH gives them the ammunition, of course. yes.gif
BurnSide
Indeed, but Resident Evil game the movie makers the ammuntion too, and they turned it into blanks.
Walken
Ah, now that is a good metaphor tongue.gif thumbsup.gif
Feenix Fire
hey all! I haven't had the chance to play SH2 in a while (i've been out of town) but last thursday my cousin went out and bought me Silent Hill the first one! w00t.gif I can't play it yet though. I can't find my PS1 memory card! mad.gif
BurnSide
Yay for SH1! Hope you get to play it soon, it's a really awesome game, once you get past the outdated graphics. thumbsup.gif
Walken
Yup. But remember, at the time the graphics were pretty awesome. And the FMV's were way ahead of their time.
BurnSide
No kidding. The FMV's still are pretty awesome even for todays standards.
Walken
Yup, I downloaded them all. Some are compare-able to FF10 in quality.
ChrisC098
I borrowed Silent Hill 1,2,3 and the RERemake today. Time to hang a blanket over my window and turn off the lights. sad.gif tongue.gif
Walken
You'll enjoy them, most certainly. But pay extra attention to SH 1 + 2 and ignore 3. yes.gif
ChrisC098
Just because it's not the greatest doesnt mean it doesnt need love. Ignore 4. tongue.gif
Walken
Lol thumbsup.gif Ah, touche.

Saying that, 3 isn't all bad. In fact some of it is compare-able to SH 2. yes.gif
BurnSide
I've been playing through 3.
The first 3 areas are sucky. The hospital is much better than the previous hospitals, it's downright scary!
Shakezulah
i thought the amusement park was quite scary the first time around. i dont remember the hospital in that game much tho.
BurnSide
The haunted house!
Shakezulah
o yeah! that place was chessy, but i jumped a lot there. and that death cloud of gas was dumb.
BurnSide
Yeah that was lame, but both the body falling down and the ceiling coming down were both very unexpected and really neat.
Shakezulah
yeah those 2 things really made me jump, and so did the growling noise from inside that one room where the dog was sacrificed.
ChrisC098
Spoilers


BS could you explain why James killed Mary it's always confused me.

Also in video and on the back and such you can see something that looks to me like hundreds of maniquins/leg monsters squirming around. Do you ever see this in the game? If not any ideas on it?
BurnSide
No you dont, but it is Mannequins and stuff.
Walken will be able to give you a better summary of them. thumbsup.gif

James killed Mary for two reasons, as he states when he watches the video.
Firstly, and less of all, he killed her because he did not want to see her suffering anymore. Mary had a disease which slowly ate away her brain and insides, and over the course of 3 years, causing Mary extreme pain to which the only end could be death. It's a horribly slow and painful way to die. So James finished her quickly.

The second reason being, that James was suffering himself. James married a woman who was beautiful and kind and a joy to be around, but since she got the disease, the last three years James had spent alone, in torment, seeing his once beautiful wife as now a hideous disgusting monster who would only scream profanities at him whenever he went to visit. Marys disease was killing James inside as well. So, for reasons of selfishness, anger, etc he killed Mary, to put her, if you will, out of HIS misery.
ChrisC098
Woah. Another question. Does doing maria's story do anything for the main story?
BurnSide
You mean her 'mini-game' Restless Dreams?
It explains how she was born, and what happened to her before meeting James, that's all.
Walken
The haunted house was cool but they could have done a lot more. And that red smog thing was lame.
seeking
that body in there thoughy freaked me out, i loved how you had to fight that thing on the carosel while it was moving...to me that was just so "silent hill"
BurnSide
You mean the 'Memory of Alessa'?
That ruled.
seeking
^thats exactly what it was, i couldnt remember, and the horses were real horses....good stuff
BurnSide
Yeah, just impaled on sticks.
Walken
But I didn't like the idea of fighting her with lots of weapons other and other again.
BurnSide
'Over' and over again, not other and other. tongue.gif

Yeah that was kinda silly. But important to the story nonetheless.
Walken
Myyyy Mistake. Yup.

I didn't like sub machine guns being in the game either. In went all action-y on me.
BurnSide
I completely agree. Too, well, Resident Evil. It works well in a survival horror with onslaughts of zombies, but in Silent Hill? No, the weapons should be limited to the very bare essentails, and things that you would normally find. Handguns, maybe a rifle, knifes and poles, etc.
Walken
Yuppers.

Over-the-top-ness works well in GTA and RE, but in SH it's just tacky. Especially when you're unloaded a sub machine gun into a monster three times your size....
