Nope, in fact the guys who wrote the story (one of whom is also directing) had to personally convince Konami that they knew what they were doing before they allowed them to make the film.Durandal wrote:I'm going to venture a guess and say that Uwe Boll had nothing to do with this at all.

Hubba Hubba Hubba Pyramid Head actually shows up in all the Silent Hill games, but played a major role only in SH2.Erik von Nein wrote:The only thing I'm confused on is why Pyramid Head exists here. I thought that it was only a representation of the main character's guilt (or some such) from Silent Hill 2?
Hey, wait ... so, he was in the first game, too? And the third? Weird. I totally missed that.DPDarkPrimus wrote:Pyramid Head actually shows up in all the Silent Hill games, but played a major role only in SH2.
What was he doing in them all?No, I think you had the right of it... to the best of my knowledge, Pyramid Head has never appeared in any Silent Hill game besides SH2. DPDarkPrimus might have been thinking of Valtiel, who was introduced in SH3 as one of the God's attendant demons (and who is supposedly one of the town's Old Gods, at least according to some fans).Erik von Nein wrote:Hey, wait ... so, he was in the first game, too?

The Wikipedia article
(Being Wikipedia, you might want to take it with a grain of salt, such as it is.)
Would it not make sense then that Pyramid Head would appear in all the Silent Hill series, if only briefly? Since everyone is bound to feel some guilt about something they've done. It's just that he had such a big role in SH2 because of the huge amount of guilt that James would have.Erik von Nein wrote:The only thing I'm confused on is why Pyramid Head exists here.

There are people hung up in steel frames, which is what Pyramid Head does to people and things, but the Man Himself doesn't appear. He wasn't designed until Silent Hill 2.In the first Silent Hill, there are a couple Pyramid Heads hung up on the walls.
I've only played SH1, but I assure you, it was far superior to RE 1, 2 & 3. It's been a while since I've played it, but what really sticks out is the atmosphere, in the school, hospital and just running around the town, it was fantastic. I'd advise you to go pick up a copy of SH1, you should be able to get a copy of the Platinum edition secondhand in GAME or somewhere for less than a fiver.Admiral Valdemar wrote:Having never played these games (though I have often wanted to) and only knowing that they're a supernatural competitor to Resident Evil, is the town and all the goings on and monsters down to each individual's mind? So if they make a sequel and follow a second character as with the games, it's a similar concept, but with different things within Silent Hill?
:)There're 5 endings in SH1 to keep you happy for a bit, and I think there are atleast 4 in SH2. As to a box set, who knows? They may do when the film comes out on DVD.Admiral Valdemar wrote:They could do with bringing out a collector's set with all the games in one bundle, because I doubt I'd just be content with SH on its own.
The RE remake is certainly different, but then 6 years advancement in technology makes it better atmospherically. RE2 is about surviving more than creeping you out. The SH games would be more akin to the Alone In The Dark ones for psychological horror more than survival horror, if a distinction exists.Dorsk 81 wrote:Well, nothing from RE1 or 2 stands out in my mind the way the atmosphere in SH does, even though it's been about 8 years since it came out, and nearly 7 since I played it. I certainly don't ever remember having to play RE with the lights on.
That's what I'm hoping. If the film is a success, or even running up to it they release a special edition of the original, perhaps on PS2 along with the first sequel like some book adaptations have reprints when a movie comes out.There're 5 endings in SH1 to keep you happy for a bit, and I think there are atleast 4 in SH2.

I haven't had a chance to try the remake of RE, never bothered with a GC. There's definatly a diffence with the psychological horror and survival, I never felt anything underlyingly sinister with RE like with SH. A review I saw on Amazon put it best I think, saying SH wasn't Survival Horror, it was Survival Terror.Admiral Valdemar wrote:The RE remake is certainly different, but then 6 years advancement in technology makes it better atmospherically.

I had a quick hunt around, and I doubt there'll be a full boxset, because it looks like there'll be a SH5 for the PS3, although it has yet to be officially announced.That's what I'm hoping.

A plague would be shit scary if you didn't know what was going on, but it's also highly possible. Suddenly finding yourself in a town that shouldn't exist and with random dimensional shifts featuring creatures of an unknown origin, well, that's shit scary and something Mulder and Scully should look into. The unknown works on you more mentally even if hardly anything really happens (how many modern horror movies have bored people because you see the monster as often as possible as really obvious, if expensive, CGI?).Dorsk 81 wrote: I haven't had a chance to try the remake of RE, never bothered with a GC.

At least that means if I get hooked I have a nice franchise to go through for a while.I had a quick hunt around, and I doubt there'll be a full boxset, because it looks like there'll be a SH5 for the PS3, although it has yet to be officially announced.
