haha, if that pic scares you you're in for a rough ride Boff.

Oh...I know...god I know. I still remember trying to get through SH2..

sh2 was my fav

i loved that game, i hated the having to run for what seemed like days just to get from place to place though

You've got to admit though - It did wonders for the atmosphere.

yes it definetly did, made you scared to get from place to place...whats gonna crawl out from under that car up ahead, or whats going to swoop down on me around that corner...

I love silent hill games I got the room and omg its disturbing but amazing. I’m in the jail at the moment and omg some of them monsters are so disturbing lol try playing it in the dark on your own

That's the beauty of SH.
Although SH4 was a far cry from how frightening the previous games were.

Well, we manged to get to the "The Store Complex Revisited". I must say though I was very dissapointed when I first found out I was doing ALL the levels..again. *sigh*. When that part happened it was real downer for me.

While I think I have a grasp on the story, I dont think Im gunna end up beating it. Since my friend rented it I let him take it home, and hes to scared to play it. hehe.

From what I played though, I loved it. Freaky, awsome, and very SH. Though it did get kinda anoying travelling back to the apartment so often. Though it was fun to check your peephole to see whats going on.

So Mr. Burnside, could you explain to me the story of the game? I wanna know how close I was to what was going on, and who better to explain it?

Cant wait for the movie .

I most certainly can, although i am terribly busy at work right now, so once i get off in about 5 hours, i'll post it and you can read through. It's an excellent story, much better than SH3's anyway.

Everyone was dissapointed that you have to go through twice, believe me i was. But after awhile, i kinda started to like the idea, it makes sense in terms of the story, and the areas are changed enough to at least be something new.

I will look forward to it! And I was sort of getting into it again, but it still just felt to..repititive. I didnt have the real driving force to play it, since I knew what the next level was. Though I am happy they werent as long as they were the first time, now THAT would have been anoying. .

Trust me, there are still some very distrubing suprises in store. Replaying the apartment is completely chanegd to the point it's entirely new, and oh man, now THAT is good, freaky stuff.

As someone who completed the game I can confirm what my bud is saying

Well after reading through my own adventure while playing silent hill 2 (way back in this thread..around page..6 or something) I had to run to my friends and get the game back. I had to beat it, and beat it I did. I'll admit I had to use a walkthrough to finish because I dont have a ton of time. Im heading out to Calgary tomorrow, and gotta be up at 5...*sigh*, still gotta pack to! But I've beat it, and im happy. Even though I got the bad bad ending! hehe. I was just to freaked out to try and do alot of the things. But I had to see how the story unravalled. I must say im very satasifed.

Funny how last time I was playing a SH game I had to leave for another city as well.. hope im not making some sort of crazy boff style silent hill of my own.

Cant wait for your write up burnsy, hopefully you can do it tonight so I can read it before I leave, either that or its waiting till sunday till I get back for me.


I also should say im entering my "everything is creeping me out" phase after playing a SH game. Like I had a bag hanging off my door handle and forgot about it, came into my room and it swung out in front of me. I swear I must have jumped 20feet. Oh sleep shall be fun tonight .

Give me 1 hour and 30 mins, and i'll have your write up.

Alright Boff, here it is. In basic form, the whole thing will take me all night to write.



At South Ashfield Heights, Room 205, a woman in her mid 20's is in labour, giving birth.
She is, along with her husband, in a financially difficult place. No money, rent is due, there is no way they could keep this baby.

After the baby is born, the mother and father decide to simply flee the room, leaving the baby exactly the way it came out of her, Umbilical cord and everything.
This is Walter Sulivan.


The superintendant of South Ashfield Heights, Mr Sunderland, discovered the abandoned baby in room 205 shortly after and cleaned it up, and took it to Ashfield hospital. For reasons unknown even to him, he decided to keep the Umbilical cord, keeping it in a box in his room.

Baby Sulivan is kept at the hospital for several months and eventually transfered, while still a baby, to an Orthanage on the outskirts of a town called Silent Hill. Wish (Hope) House, a completely enclosed community devoted to raising orthans and teaching them religion, schooling them, etc. At least, on the outside..
On the inside, Wish House is a second of an infamous Silent Hill cult called 'The Order'. They raise children with their own demonic religious beliefs, torturing the children if they even misread words in paragraphs of their holy book. AT the top of this section of The Order is a woman named Dahlia Gilespie, who is also raising a child there called Alessa.
Unknown to the public, The Order also has a secret tower set far out in the middle of the always-foggy Toluca Lake, where misbehaving children are sent to be starved and their bodies disposed off.

Walter Sulivan grew up here at Wish House, learning the ways of the Order. Dahlia told him when he was still very young that his mother had abandoned him in room 205, and Walter would start to have fantasies of visiting Ashfield and visiting his mother at room 205.
He had a father figure at Wish House, a man who was nicknamed 'The red Devil' due to his large red pointed hood he always wore. This man, i forget his name, was a Priest in the highest order of Valtiel, and taught Walter the Decent of the Holy Mother, and the 21 Sacraments. Walters interest in these scriptures grew.

There was one other man in his life at Wish House, i also forget his name. He is the man who runs the Water Prison, starving the children, watching them, and torturing them, and disposing of the bodies. Walter learned to fear this man very much, he was fat and evil.

Eventually as the months past, Walter would start sneaking out of Wish House. Each time he would go further, until one time he even got on a subway straight to Ashfield, and got off South Ashfield, just outside South Ashfield Heights. One time he met a friend, a little girl called Cynthia, but she was very mean to him.

Young Walter, still only 6 or 7, got even braver with each trip and started sneaking into the apartments. He was seen sometimes by the superintendant, who was very kind to him, and by a very mean man called Braintree, who always chased Walter out of the apartments.
Walter started visiting the door of room 205. He became obsessed with his mother, thinking at first she was trapped in the room, and then starting to believe the room was his mother altogether. A symboinic relationship grew between young Walter and room 205, who he thought of as his mother.

On one of his trips, Walter met a young girl called Eileen, who was very kind to him. She gave him a teddy bear.

At Wish House, Walter grew steadily into a young man. He continued to study the Decent of the Holy Mother, and the 21 Sacraments. In using these scriptures, Walter learned that he could see his mother again and make him talk to her, make him love her. The Red Devil continued to fuel Walters desire to use the 21 Sacraments, pushing Walter, torturing Walter if he did not study the Sacraments. Walter became deeply fixated, possesed even, with the idea of completing the sacraments, and being again with his mother.

There was a man living in room 205 now though. Josepth Scribbler. Walter saw him as an invasion on the relationship between him and his mother.






That's all for now. I'll write more shortly. This is taking much longer than i expected. I always go into details.

Anyone, questions, comments, or error fixes?

You know what, on second thought, just read this. Trust me, it'll probably be shorter than my Plot Analysis, and more indepth and accurate too. Enjoy.

I will of course continue if you request it so, but i think this would be better.

I love it so far! Thanks Burnsy! Things are now starting to make a bit more sense .

*edit* Thanks for the link! I'll get to reading now

Uuuuuh, Burns, the link isn't working. That's because Gamefaqs says "you can't post directly to the FAQS". Twats

wtf. Never had a problem before. Why wouldn't they allow direct linking to a file?? It's free for godsake. Bah, fine.

Go to here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/game/919554.html and click on the first 'Plot Analysis' link.

Well i think its really freaky actually i think silent hill 4 is more scary than forbidden siren .

I think Silent Hill 4 is lameo braino in terms of scariness. It's really more of an action game and does not live up to the standards set by Silent Hill 1 and 2. Even 3, which was horrendous as a game, but still worthy (even if it was not worthy to stand aloneside SH 2)

I think silent hill 2 was the best but yeh honestly it freaks me out

I liked Silent hill 3 and loved Silent Hill 4 the 1st half only I was so disappointed by the second half I took the Game Back, I don't know what went wrong. Anyone else feel thtaa way I thought the creepiest part was that Hospital that had all the rooms and you had to line up the floors that was eerie, In three the part that changed into blood was pretty good too, These are definitly scary games. I didn't play 1 or 2

1 and 2 are MILES better than 3 and 4. Alot scarier.

I'll have to check them out they both are good some are saying 2 is better????

Do you know anything about another Silent Hill 5 I thought I heard something about it being made .Maybe not. In 3 I thought it was too dark the graphics not that great, I only know playstation did you play on that system? I'm sorry if my questions are dumb I've never met an adult who liked Silent Hill or RE even my kids won't play these games (if you are a kid I apologize.

I'm not a kid.
I have them all on Playstation too. Yes i would say that SH2 is better, the best actually. Mostly for the storyline, it's incredibly done. I haven't seen anything like it since.


Silent Hill 5 has been confirmed, for a next-gen system, most likely PS3. No information has been given about it though.

Did you ever play Dino Crisis or Fear Effect I know this is Silent hill but those were good games the graphics not so good but the stories were great and they were fun? I'll check out silent hill 2 and let yu know what I think. I'm not a kid either I hope I didn't offend you.
A friend Sheri

You didn't offend me in the least.
I love Dino Crisis 1 and 2, 2 is one of my all time favourite vid games. never played 3 though, couldn't be bothered. Never played fear effect either.

Me too I loved loved loved Dino Crisis I had heard that they were bringing out another one Dino Crisis is that what you are talking about??Fear Effect is Playstation 1 its old theres 1,2,& 3 never found 3 but I have 1 and 2 if you can come across them some day they are very good Its based on 2 female spys that are sent on missions type of thing the theme is very Adult ofr a playstation game
excellent story line and so many puzzles very very cool.

I got Silent Hill 1 for my emualtor on a rom today.
It works out really good.
I'm surprised with how contained and sound the stroy is.
Takes you very deep.

Good stuff.

Sherri, Dino Crisis 3 came out a couple years ago on PS2.

Neo, so it works well on the emulator eh. What PS emulator do you use? 've been looking for a decent one.

I'm using PSXeven.
The emulators are easy to find it;'s the roms that are tricky.
I had to get mine from a friend.

Here is the link if you want it.
http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/psx/

Thanks.

Good luck finding Roms for it though.
It's unbelievebly hard.
All these false links and garbage sites.
Let me know if you find a FF7 roms ok.
Been looking for it.

Well i wont be looking for one since i have the game, but i'll let you know.

Dino Crisis 3 came out for the Xbox as far as I know. And yeah, Dino Crisis 2 is AWESOME!!

Ah Sherri, I played Fear Effect 2. I liked it very much, once I got used to the controls.
3 never came out so that's why you've never been able to pick it up. What a shame But that's not the worst part of it: the bad news is that Uwe Boll wants to make a Fear Effect movie

Yeah it's on Xbox too.

As far as I knew, it only came out on Xbox.
Correct me if I'm wrong

I wasn't aware. I don't have info on if it is or not, so if you say it is, i'll take your word for it. Thanks.

Wonder why that is?

Yes, Dino Crisis 3 only came out on Xbox. Which sucks. Cuz i never got to play it. Then again, i never play my copy of 2 either. The only time i played it was when i...uh..."bought"...it.

Yup, just looked in Gamespot. Only came out on the Xbox. Why? Beats me , even more than how in hell movie producers give Uwe Boll money to make make movies

I love that game.

I hear that jpalz.
Obviously game development companies have really stupid people making financial decisions for them.

Burnside are you sure on that I swear that Got by me, I heard that it was coming out and then we never saw it????

Yes thats right you had to get used to the contols,Did you play one too???

I do swear that it came out. Xbox only though apparently.
Don't worry, all reviews say it was terrible. It was set in the distant future and all the dinosaurs were half-mech and it was on a giant spaceship that kept changing shape, or something.

Mmmm, nope, haven't found it yet





Now THAT is an unexplained-mystery don't you think?

No. It's just stupidity.

this is totally off-topic but i just have to say...my bro and i just finished Silent Hill 4...



...i dont think i got scared once.

its really sad, i kept waiting for a really scary DARK place...but there was none all the freakin lights beautifully lighting up every corner of the screen...

hardly any sound effects or scary music...
stupid monkeys...
just plain annoying slugs things...
lack of the rusted blood effect...

very sad.

disappointing and i hate to say that because i LOVE silent hill

Yes Nordic i'm afraid everyone agrees that SH4 lacked horribly on the scare factor. They put too much work into the story of this one, and they figured that the story itself would be enough to give you that awful unsettling feeling, but alas it was not.

Of course, there was none of that 'rusted blood' effect because this game had nothing to do with Alessa, so her world was not a part of the game at all. It was Walters world we traveled through in this game, and Walter's subconcious wasn't half a scary as Alessa's.
