RockXLight said:So why is that Western devs nowadays can't seem to match the character modeling prowess that was on show 8 years ago in Silent Hill 3?
Silent Hill: Homecoming: Looks like ass.
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories: Looks like ass
Silent Hill: Downpour: So far, it looks like ass
It's not just Konami, but it seems to me that nearly all American and European devs
totally suck at making appeal 3D models of human characters. The characters are never as visually appealing as they are intended to be, and the lip-syncing of the characters--even of games that were written in English--is usually atrocious.
Meanwhile, Remedy spent years developing Alan Wake, and it's as ugly as sin. What hope does the Silent Hill series have of ever looking as good as it with Silent Hill 3 and 4 if Konami Co. doesn't start developing it in-house again?
Grisby said:To you maybe. I think all of the recent SH games you listed look great. What they did with 3 was impressive but 4 wasn't in my book.
And Alan Wake ugly as sin? Thats some opinion based shit there.
It's not opinion based, it's the truth. Have you seen Alan's facial expressions? Have you seen his wife and how she looks when she talks? Awful.Grisby said:And Alan Wake ugly as sin? Thats some opinion based shit there.
How About No said:Even Homecoming? I actually think SM looks good for a Wii game (and Downpour looked good in some earlier shots)
Yes, yes it does.Risk Breaker said:Homecoming doesn't look much worse than Downpour.

Karkador said:Team Silent was amazing, and it's such a shame that they were disbanded. The PS2 Silent Hill games were guaranteed Day 1 games for me, and I always knew I was in for a unique and artistically awesome adventure experience.
I think even SH4, despite its flaws, is better than what the franchise turned into after the first movie came out, and that's because it's still unmistakenly a Team Silent product. I hope that game gets more love as time goes on and people miss Team Silent more.

It's quite a different beast from SH2. Most people tend to fall on the SH2 or SH3 sides for a reason._dementia said:Can't wait to finally play this in the HD collection. I loved SH2, but for some reason never got SH3.
DA:O looked great much of the time.ProfessorMoran said:Dragon Age games are so shitty-looking.
Gentleman Jack said:The 2003 game only had 13 people working on it, too. How big was DA2's development staff?
Jigsaw said:i had no idea the team was that small *mind blown*
faceless007 said:This game was made by 13 people? Christ, there are indie PC-only devs bigger than that. Someone get all them back together and give them a Steam contract to make whatever they want and publish it in the indie sphere.
The control method is still awful, regardless of which mode you choose.Blood Boal said:I though that this was already discussed in other thread but anyways.. You just had to enter the "Options Menu" and change it from 3D (controls like Resident Evil 1-CV) to 2D (IMO this should have been the "default control type" in SH1-3 is sooo much better.. then again is just my opinion). Easy as that.

Mr_Zombie said:Yes, yes it does.
Characters models look ridiculously bad, assets are constantly reused (how many times does that dead body appear during the game?), there're lots of copy-paste work (the entire Hotel), some textures remember the PSX era... The game has its moments, but overall it isn't a looker.
Downpour, from what I've seen, looks much better.
Typographenia said:The control method is still awful, regardless of which mode you choose.
I always go tank controls. oooooh, yeah!

sphinx said:That pic with the dev team looks really badass, congrats to them for creating the SH series.
but I am not sure why people do as if Origins doesn't exist. It's SH through and through and definitely on par with silent hill 2 and very likeable.
Grisby said:And yeah, I thought Homecoming looked pretty good. Not the best looking Silent Hill no, but I felt a lot of areas were decent enough.
That type of free third person control is an annoyance of mine when it inolves fixed camera angles. I still firmly stand behind my belief that there isn't a silent hill game with good controls. There are passable control methods, but none of them have been the "yes, this is how this series should be controlled" yet.Lime said:The control method is the same as every other contemporary third person-controlled game, so I wouldn't call either SH2 or 3's control methods awful at all (unless you really dislike analogue 3rd person movement?)
miraclehappen said:I try to hunt down the Press Kit for the game for ages. If anyone can find either a link, or a copy to get (buy) somewhere, somehow, I would be very very glad for you.
I didn't liked this third game as much as the first two, but I have to admit, that the graphics are insanely good

SILENT HILL NO UTA~viewtifulsub said:Silent Hill 3 also features the franchise's best UFO ending.Though SH2's Dog ending comes so very close

This remake of the intro movie done in LBP2 I just saw was pretty neat
If you can manage to beat one of these games by yourself, you'll pretty much be able to brave almost any survival horror game afterwards. BE STRONG!Kraftwerk said:p.s I can only play it if someone else is with me. ;____;
Oh man, I don't know why I forgot about that! Whoever made it did an incredible job, and I never would have thought you could do something like that in LBP2.FantasticMrFoxdie said:Somewhat off the topic, but relevant to SH3 fans.
