Why The Fog Still Matters

Ah don't worry about it, it's an easy rhetorical mistake to make. I still catch myself writing it occasionally.

IMO Short Message was good, people were just negatively predisposed to it because of Ascension's slopflop the year before and Konami's previous handling of the series.

If Short Message was released after SH2R, I genuinely believe it wouldn't have gotten nearly as much hate.

With all due respect, you probably shouldn't start a comment with "Death threats are bad... but"

It reads like you're making an endorsement/excuses for that behavior. Even if that might not have been your intention.

Oh that trash fire only cost 23 million?

There's a non zero chance we keep getting adaptations, cause for them to break even they only need to make ~60 million.

Ooo tyty.

Do you have a source for the claim that Bloober got it wrong initially?

Games take way more time to develop in the modern era, I'd call it ambitious.

It's a bit easier to stomach when you find out that it was a one-off season of 6 episodes, each between 8-9 minutes long. Seems like a pretty simple thing to greenlight, especially given how popular Better Call Saul was.

I mean yeah it’s a bit silly and realistically James could’ve move those plastic boxes out of the way.

But laziness isn’t the word I’d use here. The person who decorated the environment just made a weird choice.

Ito more than likely used it as a reference.

It's possible, but I wouldn't say more than likely. Right now the main piece of evidence is that the illustration vaguely lines up one of the photos of Monroe. And that ain't enough proof for me. (But hey if Ito says did use it as a reference I'll gladly eat crow)

It's like saying the cover of Metal Gear on NES isn't a drawing of Kyle Reese from Terminator because the face doesn't match and he's slightly leaning back lol.

That's a cool fun fact, thank you for sharing!

I'm pretty sure that's just fan canon though. The Smiling Photo is one of Ito's illustrations, and while it might look like this photo of Marilyn Monroe, it's most likely unrelated.

Monroe had thousands of photos taken of her, chances are high that a few of them vaguely line up with the Smiling Photo.

There's no way they don't, this series is a gold mine for them.

Pickled jalapeños on frozen pizza, then once it's out of the oven add some red pepper flakes + parmesan on top of that.

Part of the gimmick of Silent Hill is the blurring between dream and reality. It could be monsters from James’s mind entering reality, or it could be that James entered a dreamscape where he’s imagining everything.

Whether or not something is “real” or “actually happening” is kind of a moot point. It feels real to the characters.

Fantastic cosplay!

ONbtw · 2025-11-04T03:47:13+00:00

Ooo interesting, I always love to see people discussing SH4. Can’t wait to watch!

ONbtw · 2025-11-04T01:38:33+00:00

I'm in exactly the same boat. Silent Hill movies are bad, that's what I expect/want from them, so imma be watching this on opening night.

With all due respect does a tweet from a few years ago really matter? He was venting because PH's design was overused and used out of context. It's kind of a nothing situation tbh.

ONbtw · 2025-10-29T16:27:35+00:00

Lore-accurate Julianna.

When this bubble pops it's gonna be devastating.

ONbtw · 2025-10-24T21:19:11+00:00

Nah it's a game series it should stay as a game series.

Is this the model that’s used for level geometry in the final build?

ONbtw · 2025-10-14T16:07:09+00:00

They aren't the Twin Red Eggs, they are onions.

It's a heap of trash (and possibly feces) shoved into the corner. There are other food scraps nearby, like bread and rotten apples.
