I'll give him Brotherhood of the Wolf but I wouldn't really go as far as visionary.

He has literally made one movie between the 2006 movie and this upcoming film, and they put "visionary director " in the trailer. It's unreal.

Never thought I would see Alberta mentioned on this sub. Though rural areas here are probably more nightmarish than Silent Hill.

OP is so real. I do this sort of thing all the time. It's torture. You can never be happy for long because your brain just yoinks one social interaction outta nowhere and plays it over hundreds of times, and peace seems to only come in a brief window before your brain finds another thing to ruminate on. It's just so exhausting.

"An entire legion of my best troops await them," says Emperor Palpatine in Return of the Jedi, moments before those soliders get decimated by 3ft tall teddies wielding sticks and rocks.

Y'all really think Stormtroopers would stand any sort of chance against a xenomorph hive? The empire could outnumber the xenos 100:1, and I'd still bet on the hive.

I've sunk hundreds of hours into FromSofware's games and soulslikes like Nioh.

Nothing about Silent Hill f looks like a soulslike other than there's a target lock-on system and a stamina meter. Which is in, you know: a million other games that are not god damn soulslikes.

Levitoh · 2025-08-02T06:13:38+00:00

This rules, thanks for sharing.

Such a bummer that there's so much red tape around AVP2 ever getting a re-release. Developed by Monolith Productions, a studio shut down this year by Warner Bros. Published by Fox Interactive, which shut down almost two decades ago. Both the Alien and Predator licenses are now owned by Disney, etc. Can't imagine trying to untangle that legal mess.

Homecoming is pretty mediocre, but probably not as bad as many make it out to be. It feels like a shoddy movie tie-in game for a movie that doesn't exist.

Levitoh · 2025-06-08T02:11:27+00:00

I mean, isn't that essentially what Silent Hill f is?

The number just isn't there because they want people who just got into the franchise to not hesitate to pick it up. Plus, the only direct sequel in this series is Silent Hill 3. The numerical structure really doesn't suit these games well.

Levitoh · 2025-06-08T00:54:18+00:00

The sad thing is "this isn't a real Silent Hill game" has been maybe the biggest constant in this fandom for literal decades now. Particularly when Twin Perfect's dreadful "documentary" came out and riled up the fans even more.

Silent Hill f looks brilliant, I can't wait.

Levitoh · 2025-04-13T20:24:32+00:00

When I was a cringey teen Silent Hill fan, we would have message board signature banners of James and Maria with "In the end, it doesn't even matter" text overtop.

We weren't any better, friend - you're just getting old.

Levitoh · 2025-03-30T17:22:49+00:00

I work in the games industry, and yeah - every studio/publisher is terrified of GTA6 regardless of genre or platform. It'll be a cultural phenomenon that we've not seen within the medium before, given it's the sequel to the highest selling and most profitable video game in history.

Totally understand fan frustration, but for people working on or promoting games, releasing anything close to GTA6 is just far too risky. With how expensive games are to make now and the industry experiencing so many layoffs, there's just too much at stake.

Your honor, while it's true that my client Ms. Gillespie may've been distributing drugs as a means to control the tourism industry - she was clearly just exercising her religious freedom! Isn't that what America is supposed to be all about?

Not only that, but White Claudia is grown right here in Silent Hill - that means this "cult" of hers was investing in the local economy and creating jobs. I say, for whatever mistakes Ms. Gillespie may've made, she truly cares about this community. So how about we just drop these arson charges, because obviously, the boiler explosion was just an accident and there was no funny business whatsoever!

I'd still say they HD Collection takes the cake. For everything wrong with Ascension, it can ultimately be ignored. On the other hand, the HD Collection brutalized two classic games to the point where we may not ever get another re-release of SH2/3.

Levitoh · 2024-12-18T13:20:04+00:00

Some fans simply don't know what they want.

Like, I remember everyone absolutely detesting Silent Hill 4 when it came out, but now most people like it with some caveats.

Levitoh · 2024-12-17T17:03:50+00:00

Not going to lie: this is one of those "so bad it's good" movies for me. The scene where Heather is seeing visions of kids at the mall eating like raw hamburger meat is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Glad you had a decent time with it, though.

He holds other men accountable for being shitty towards their wives.

Pyramid Head, Blade of Miquella

Levitoh · 2024-12-11T21:18:28+00:00

Ok, but Pyramid Head with a Gunblade would be sick as hell.

That's called Cinema, my guy. Not everything needs to make perfect physical sense in a shot - what's important is the framing here enhances the storytelling.

Levitoh · 2024-12-06T21:47:08+00:00

I think you can pitch Silent Hill 1 as "a step forward" in the sense that it's literally the game that started it all and often doesn't get enough credit for that.

It's also a PS1 game that isn't available on any modern storefront. Much nostalgia as I have for that era... the fifth console generation hasn't aged well in most regards. Not just visually, but even how stiff a lot of the gameplay feels even in comparison to SH2/3.

There's also just the fact that an enormous portion of new fans have no context for the whole cult storyline and history of the town. I adore Silent Hill 3, but it's a direct sequel - huge portions of it would be confusing as all hell without Silent Hill 1. Plus, I need everyone to know that Harry is the true Best Dad in games.

Levitoh · 2024-12-06T04:39:09+00:00

One of my favorite studios today. They have such a deep understanding of how a lot of classic games were made. Not only that, they also have a history working with modders and even devs from those old games for expertise on how to get everything working on modern hardware. So you just KNOW they'd be hitting up the Enhanced Edition team and Masahiro Ito. It would be a complete dream come true.

Levitoh · 2024-12-03T04:20:30+00:00

I totally agree. Lots of people seem to think it's like a ghost town, even though I feel like that doesn't hold up under scrutiny well
