I suppose you're right

Really, is it? I could have sworn it was Room of Angel that was playing. I haven't played it for so long...

The one where Cynthia dies? That goes 'Here's a Lullaby to Close your eyes, it was always you that i despised' yada yada?

The music for the movie, in my opinion, will be perfect. Don't worry about it.

When is the movie being released?

April. 28th i think.

Right on, I can't wait for it's release. This is the only gaming series I've ever really gotten into.

That's the one. And I'm pretty certain that, that one was 'Room of Angels'. Maybe I'm wrong

I stand that it was "Fortunate Sleep". Room of Angel sounds when you find Eileen almost dead in her apartment and thanking the kid. It also appears in the trailer that shows up if you don't press any buttons in the main menu.

Sorry dude, i'm pretty sure it is Room of Angel. I found several sites of SH4 lyrics and they all have that song called Room of Angel.

Dude, those are the lyrics of Room of Angel!
Now, maybe Room of Angel appeared in the American version of The Room at the moment you specify, I dunno, but in the version I played (the Japanese version) the song that plays when you find Cynthia dying is called "Fortunate Sleep", and Room of Angel plays when you finish the apartment world for the first time.


EDIT: The bottom line is, yeah, Room of Angel exists and it appears in the game, just not the moment T-Nemesis is pointing out. Now: I'll give ya the link to both songs and you guys compare:

Fortunate Sleep

Room of Angel

I see. In that case, this is simple missunderstanding than anyone actually being wrong.

In NA release, this song plays during the trailer, as you said, and also when Cynthia dies.

Fortunate Sleep plays when Eileen is on the floor in her own bloody gore.
So evidently we have been talking about the same song all along, it's been simply switched in both versions.

^Ah, thanks for clearing that up. I thought I'd gone mad

I think we all did for a second there.
I had no idea they'd switched it for the NA/Japan versions. I wonder what else has changed.

I posted in the other topic, but this is BIG.

First still from the movie has been released!!!! It's Cybil and Rose in a gritty destroyed hallway, looking mighty frightened.

That looks great. A little bright if anything, but great!

Now I just need to see Pyramid Head and we'll be in business!

Apparently he's in it.
Anyway, we'll get back to discussing the game here, the movie in the SH movie topic.

Pyramid Head getting jiggy with the mannequins? That would be quite freaky to watch on the big screen

Uh...that was disturbing enough to watch it in the game. I don't know if I want to see that again if it's in somewhere besides SH2. Not that I WANT to see that, it's just weird and gross, yet kinda cool just for the reasons given.

Agreed, completely.
I don't think they'll include that though. It represented James' sexual desire. If the creators of the movie understand the games properly enough to make a movie based on them, they should know that nothing happens just to creep out the player and therefore should be careful what scenes they recreate.

Apparently PH wasn't doing what we thought he was to those mannequins, well atleast on SHfan sites they say so. I don't how how he couldn't have been doing it?

He was raping them. And then killing them.
It's an exaggerated representation of James liking Mary only when she is pretty and he can be satisfied by her, and once she turned ugly and could do nothing for him, he killed her.
PH = James.
I didn't realise this at first, it was Walken that brought me to my senses.

Im aware of that, but many people over at SHH and SHF seem to think that it's not true, and that he was simply killing them. I'm not sure why, I'll look into it. Same goes for the giant head of Eileen in the SH4 Hospital.

SH4 is different. SH4 DID have things in it just for creep-out factor. One of the many liabilities in the game which made it worse than the others.
I think you don't need much than very basic understanding of the story in SH2 to see that PH wasn't just wondering around killing other monsters for the heck of it. That's just plain stupid.

And THAT, is why i don't frequent SH or RE forums.

Damn, this hasn't been updated since october!

Holy sh**. That's so weird. I didn't think it's been that long. Other than the movie, the world of SH has been very slow.

Yes i has. I'm getting extremely impatient for news on the fifth game. I'm hoping this delay means they're working on something really special.

Yeah. me too. News on it is going to be especially slow if they certainly plan on releasing it for next gen consoles. Let's just hope it's worth the wait.

I expect we'll start hearing more about it once the movie is all done with.

You think they would make a game based off the movie? I mean same scenario.

Also, I have spread the word of the Silent Hill movie through out my school. I've shown all my friends the 'teaser' trailer and they all think Pyramid Head is badass.

No of course they wouldn't. The movie is the first game, with a chick instead of Harry and a few elements from the second game.

While we wait for the movie to come out, here's a streaming applet of the Japanese soundtrack, it's great to listen to.

http://restlessdream.com/common/jukebox/jukebox.php?track=1

Also, this website contains lots of information most other websites apparently don't have; http://www.translatedmemories.com/

It's a very good site to be sure, it helped me fully understand the story of SH4 and enjoy it more than i otherwise would have.

The jukebox site is quite good T-Nemesis, but if you want to download the soundtracks of the games (which I highly recommend it), then go to this page:
Sound of Silence

As for the site Translated Memories, thanks! I always wanted to see a translation of the book with the original images. Thanks alot!!

^Thanks for that link, I know that in 15 years time when Silent Hill is forgotten ( ), I'll kill to get my hands on the soundtrack, might aswell save myself the trouble now.

Is there anyway to download them as a batch? It'll take a long time to download them all individually.

EDIT: Started downloading them, I'm not sure if my Hard drive has enough space to hold them all.

There was a torrent that had the four soundtracks and an extra CD of remixes. Although it doesn't have every single song. Here it is!

Torrent

^Thanks, that should save me a load of time.

Anytime dude!

The making of Silent Hill 3

I haven't watched it yet but It's supposed to be quite interesting.

Oo lovely, i'll take a look when i'm able too.
Thanks.

It's been way too long

The hell you been at man?

I just got through watching the Making of Silent Hill 3 video I posted. It's pretty neat, I can't help but notice Douglas seemed to be quite under developed, maybe I just interpreted it wrongly or they portrayed is badly, but he didn't seem to have much of a basis at all. Oh well, 'tis all good.

Have you played SH3?

I've played it a fair deal, but I don't own it, so I've never played it from the beggining to the end.

How did you know?

Well you seem to not know how the character of Douglas is developed in the game.
You're quite right though, to be honest. He's a decent character, but his role in the game is somewhat useless for the most part. I'm really not even sure what the point of him is in a story analysis. He doesn't react to situations the way a normal person would, he's slow and dull etc. Not a very well developed character at all.

I see what you mean, but in the 'Making of...' video when they run through the characters, they give quite a fairly elaborate insight in to each character, but for Douglas, what they say is just completely trivial, they say 'He is losing his hair; he tries to hide his baldness'. Like I said, maybe I interpreted it wrongly, maybe they're trying to suggest that the baldness represents a weakness, which he is trying to hide.

Nope, he's just a useless one-sided character that doesn't fit into the story at all.

ok i just purchased silent hill 4 on the cheap and have just watched a guy on fire carving numbers into his chest, anyway i've heard that different things in the apartment change during the game, are there any i should look out for at this stage?

You'll know when it happens, it's always extremely obvious. You'll hear things BANG or splash etc while you're walking around the apartment.

Things to watch for the first half of the game are the bathtub, dryer, peephole in door and peephole in wall, and ceiling fan. Not to mention of course the street outside.
In the second half of the game, once the ceiling fan has fallen, well, they're impossible to miss. Check the wall above the bed, the closet in the bedroom, the wall above the desk in the bedroom, the wall above the trunk, the wall above the peephole, the couches and chairs, the door peephole, the shoes, the fridge, the taps, outside the windows, the TV, the radio, etc etc.

I've just been busy. But I'm back now. Not uber back, but back none-the-less.

I was wondering what you guys thought about Silent Hill 3 and 4 in terms of story fodder?

I for one think SH1 + 2 are guarranted Story certifiable. Silent Hill 4 is reliable in terms of the back story and mythology it covers. Silent Hill 3, however, I have never felt to be too reliable. There is far to many contradictions and plot holes when compared to SH1, forcing me to make a dis-is-eon of the two.

Needless to say, SH wins.

SH3, in my eyes, has never been more than a sort of epilogue file to SH1. Just tying up what happens to Harry and the baby and the order and all that stuff. The story is practically non-existant really, i mean, think about it.

Heather falls asleep in diner. She has dream of Silent Hill.
Heather decides to go home.
While going home strange things happen to her that she doesn't react too.
She keeps going home.
She gets home. Daddy is dead.
She vows revenge on Daddys killer.
She goes to Silent Hill and chases down killer.
Killer dies, Heather destroys evil.

The end.

Obviously it's alot deeper than that, what with the god reborn inside her and how she is the Mother of God and the Daughter of God, as creepy as that is, but in the end, bah.





Silent Hill 4 bothered me greatly for the first, i dunno, 3 or 4 playthroughs.
Then i got it, and it completely changed my opinion of the game. I love the story of SH4, although it's so loosely tied into SH that it almost feels that if it was named something else you wouldn't get the connections.

The game itself is lacking alot, but the story is really great. Nothing on SH1 or SH2, but i like it all the same.
