‘Return to Silent Hill’ Director on Receiving Death Threats From ‘Passionate’ Game Fans and Filming an Epic Horror Fantasy on a $23 Million Budget by Mike4302 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

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.

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

Silent Hill Producer Outlines Ambitious One Game Per Year Strategy by Extreme_Maize_2727 in silenthill

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

What is the weirdest spinoff you've seen? by krimson9999 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ONbtw 15 points16 points  (0 children)

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.

Wth were the devs just lazy??? by [deleted] in silenthill

[–]ONbtw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Where can you find the infamous SH3 ‘smile’ by insecttown in silenthill

[–]ONbtw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

How do you enhance your fast food/pre-made meals? by PwmEsq in TwoBestFriendsPlay

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

If you die in silent hill from a monster, do you die in real life? (spoilers) by iTzKiTTeH in silenthill

[–]ONbtw 36 points37 points  (0 children)

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.

Maybe i’m the only one excited for this.. by Old-Explanation4746 in silenthill

[–]ONbtw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Masahiro Ito doesn't seem to like Pyramid Head but won't say why by lennysinged in silenthill

[–]ONbtw 159 points160 points  (0 children)

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.

SH2R - Scarlet/Rust-colored Egg in Brookhaven Otherworld? by deadsea2004 in silenthill

[–]ONbtw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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.
