This is the kind of mentality that gave us the load of bullshit we have today. If faggots that had failed at being anyone of worth in other industries hadn't come to videogames we would still have the non-serious take on vidya that was all about fun and entertainment, because videogames are fucking games.

Remember, anyone that talks about videogames as an art to be appreciated and contemplated seeks nothing of good for you or anyone who actually enjoys the medium for what it has to offer over movies, books, etc.

It looked like shit from the get go. It took Silent Hill and made it into a walking sim with 2spooky imagery. Honestly, it looked like a game for the twitch crowd with some decent atmosphere but that was about it. It certainly didn’t look like Silent Hill, and considering how much Kojima has cucked, we really didn’t need him tainting SH any more than it had been.

Did you actually play PT? What makes you think that Kojima would deliver? Kojima is a hack, Del Toro hasn't made anything good in years and Ito's style is really hard to translate to anime, let alone videogames. If the teaser was anything to go b,y then it's clear Silent Hill would've been just another youtuber horror game, only jump scares and run around figuring out what the fuck to do, so scary. No decent direction and symbolism, the only thing I'll give it is high production values, so yeah if that's what you want style over substance then you're a casual faggot that doesn't know shit about videogames.

From the very beginning it always bother me that PT was supposed to be a Silent Hill despite the fact that it didn't show any hint of being connected to the series. Also, fuck that of having a guest start, the point of the protagonists of SH was to make them every day persons, Konami just needs to admit that they would never recreate the magic of the first games. At least not without Team Silent.

Is less the game's fault and more about the pseudo-artists that got it all wrong about the game, they began to spew the whole psychology, amnesia and sexual themes without any kind of real context, furthermore and as usual they never liked the occult stuff which meant they would rather read Freud and not the Red Skin book.

That’s the hard part. Devs try to do that all the time but now of days it comes across as pretentious. The fun thing about Silent Hill is that, for the most part, they symbology was never rubbed in your face and was very, very subtle most of the time and often required you to do a little research after playing to get it all. Hell, a lot of people miss that Henry in SH4 was an actual shut in who likely had Anthropophobia, yet the game really only mentions it once and that’s if you pay attention to the paintings in one of the rooms.

But, P.T. was a shit Amnesia clone that only gained recognition because of it's graphics (Which were only impressive to anyone who hadn't played Crysis 7 years prior), Kojima, and Cuck Toro; and had as much to do with Silent Hill as Batman does with Marvel Comics.

Could I just take the time to say that Silent Hill 2 is one of the most overrated games of all time. It's been a few years since I played it, but it just left no lasting effect on me. There's very little that's actually interesting about the game, but people just cannot seem to shut up about how "moving" the story is when iy boils down to simply James failing to move on aftet killing his deathly ill wife. And, it's always the story they talk about. Never the gameplay. Seriously, answer this:

Which of the four (five counting the GBA visual novel) Silent Hill games had the best gameplay, and why is this never discussed?

If they had actually taken the time to work on it just a little bit more I'd honestly say SH4. But considering what we got I'd have to say gameplay wise the best is probably still the original game. All of the weapons are geared towards the enemies you will be fighting and all of the enemies (with the exception of maybe the raptor things) are geared toward Harry and his range of movement and usually evenly spaced in the areas they're in so you don't fight with the camera as much as opposed to the other games. Also Harry's the best fighter out of all the protagonists.

Defending Kojima unconditionally? Bullshit

The closest I've ever seen anything resembling that is reposting this. Every time it's the same small circle jerk that responds to each other and every other poster in the thread without fail. There is no small number of Anons and everyone else generally agrees, it's always been a small group and everyone else just stopped responding entirely because they never actually changed their talking points. You think that doesn't happen cause you haven't had to put up with that shit for nearly long enough.

Both are first-person adventure games where an amnesiac wakes up in a room and must investigate the haunted environment to solve the puzzle, meanwhile there are signs that much more sinister event happened in the location prior to the player appearing, and there's some "spooky" monster trying to kill the player.

Because Team Silent didn't go directly for the psychological stuff, they wanted horror to go deep with the usual fear of the strange and unknown, as you know they went and did some research in demonology and the occult, they also combined those elements with some Japanese horror, basically they really wanted a wider audience not just for numbers as other companies do nowadays.

What you mention is truly pretentious because they got for the psychological stuff and twists from the start, is not something they build up, a lot of us make that mistake when trying to come up with a story, even if it is an outline, I am guilty as charged, we tend to make the ending first and then go in reverse, most of the time we are stuck in the middle, the results are what you have seen a few times already.

The answer to that is actually very simple. Post-Cuckjima, Kikenami has made absolutely nothing of value or interest, thus there is nothing for their fanboys to shill about. If there is noone shilling in Kikenami's favor then why should anyone bother to start shitting on them? In case you haven't noticed, all the anti-Cuckjima shitposting is always contained within threads where the OP openly tries to praise his Nipnong ass or to revive interest in his shit works.

>There's very little that's actually interesting about the game

I think there's plenty interesting about it. Especially the characters and their backstories. The way the town fucks with you and James in general. The Silent Hill historical Society and underground Prison are the highlight of the game when it comes to interesting shit.

As for why the gameplay is never discussed I think that just boils down to the game being a horror game. If James had perfect aim and could swing a bar or piece of wood faster than his slow ass animation then I don't think I'd feel any sense of helplessness as I mow down enemy after enemy. Although to be fair the monsters in SH2 are easy as shit to kill hard mode makes them bullet sponges though, which is gay

Jesus tap-dancing Christ, this fucking argument again. Video games are not art, they're something far, far more important that deserves the same First Amendment protections for the exact same reasons.

Video games are a form of expression.

Every artistic medium is nothing more than a form of expression. A canvas does not become art until you put paint on it, but not every painted canvas is art; food on a plate can be artistic, but you don't get a work of art at McDonalds or Red Robin, even if they claim that presentation matters.

Video games are the exact same way. Not every video game is a work of art or a masterpiece. Art takes time, effort, and most of all, soul to create. Video games like Castlevania and Super Metroid are works of art, where even the flaws are recognized and cherished as part of the experience. These days, the 'art' is nothing more than mass-produced anti-consumerist trash, nothing more than a digital Big Mac with DLC for secret sauce.

It's far more important for people to recognize the difference, because these hack (((journalists))) just sit here and point at Chrono Trigger as an example of why Battlefield Vagina is fucking art is fucking stupid and every single person out there should be pointing and laughing at these worthless wastes of biomass. Professional critics were a fucking mistake.

What makes it so special in comparison to what Harry, Heather, and Henry had to experience (As well as the secondary characters in the games such a Cybil, Dahlia, Kaufmann, Angela, Eddie, even Maria, Douglas, Vincent, Claudia, and Eileen)? The only thing I've actually heard as far as the developers take is that Silent Hill 2 dealt with "sex and death" and focused on the horror primarily being "claustrophobic" (And, they countered that aspect by making Silent Hill 3 go in the opposite direction of being more open).

>If James had perfect aim

cc262e  No.16021735

Silent Hill 2 just has the most places I love (The apartments, The Prison, The Maze, The Hotel). And despite the bad voice acting there's really something charming about it and just makes the game feel like it's a dream. Especially with those FMV's that run at 60fps.

>Silent Hill 2 dealt with "sex and death"

Well you're not wrong but I'm pretty sure there were more things in the games themes besides those two. I just love how not "in your face" the game is about them unlike nu-horror games that try so fucking hard to be 2deep.

>What makes it so special in comparison to what the other characters had to experience

I don't really know man. I guess that just comes down to which one is your favorite. I do like Silent Hill 3's enemy designs and bosses more though.

The vast majority of horror games involved ways to defend yourself. Amnesia became the poster child of the modern horror style of having to hide in lockers to avoid a monster. The PS1/PS2 era of horror is entirely based around resource management and using your limited ammo to create tension. In terms of modern horror RE1 defined the genre, then RE4 then Amnesia. We're still in Amnesia's influence with Triple A games (SIlent Hills and RE7) taking more influence from it than any other game. RE7 may have broke the mold slightly by adding guns back in and could be the now representative if you don't count the PT inspired walking sims which are just amnesia on a single map.

Your examples exist but they were niche, not mainstream horror. Survival horror had been the mainstay of the genre until Amnesia took off. From RE1 up to Dead Space. It was all survival horror. Now the genre is gone unless you include The Evil Within every few years which everyone forgets within a week, while outlast, RE7 and Soma are all over the place.

Why would video games and anime want to be considered art? Besides the fact that those who love them already think they are…

Look at what the "art world" has become. It's soulless at worst, and a money laundering scheme at best. Even the worst deviantart user puts out better pieces of art than whatever modern/post-modern human trash does.

I will say this. There are far fewer games that could be considered art these days, thanks to the AAA companies and the agenda driven marxist ideologues (the latter of whom infest the "Art world" to the brim).

It's not considered art because actual art is beyond a game's scope. You can't create art and left everyone else play with that art how they see fit.

To put it in simple terms. Can a colouring book be art? That's what games are. Colouring books. They give you an outline and then you play within those lines until you complete the picture they want. If anything it's less than a colouring book because games don't allow you to go outside the lines (mods excused here)
