Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

" Rebellion Against Tyrants Is Obedience To God"

Is anybody excited for his TV show based on that trilogy of books above?

Really ? Man I didn't know... But well, I can't download anything anymore, and it's not likely to be broadcasted in France...

wow +1 again.    Youve been answered numerous times for why others are excited, and its clear you obviously have something against him and some of his work. Other people do like his work and a heck of alot are very excited.  You dont need to be excited about every game,  I have zero interest in some games that other people would be day zero.   its really interesting why you want to put so much effort to try and convince people they shouldnt be excited about a game they like.  all this does bring to light a very big question.  What did he do to you to get all this hate.?


Another person not reading my posts, you didnt even read the post you replied to. What fucking anwsers? Telling me that he directed(its fair that some people dont know what directors do) some movie is not an anwser. I thought both Hellboys, Blade 2, Pans, Pacific Rim and probably other movies he has screenplayed or executive produced are fine movies. How does this translate to making a better Silent Hill(and to get it through to you the anwser is not he directed Hellboy)? Just because he is good at something doesnt mean hes good at everything. The skills he has in hollywood are great, but where do they transfer to in game design.? I am excited for this game being Silent Hill in itself and I want to get extra hyped like everyone elses.

Someone posted some books based on a GDT idea. He had a horror idea that he had someone write some stories about, I didnt know that, that adds to the discussion. Pictures of Pans creatures(his design); adds to the discussion. Telling me directs movies or collects cars or is a pingpong champion means nothing cause it has shit to do with making #1 games #2 a Silent Hill game. You not reading my posts making assumptions off of the things you arent reading doesnt do anything.

edit: Ive been trolled good one BWest



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

He didnt write those but had the concept, its good to know he still dabbles in the gnere.

Can't find any sources stating that he just had the concept and did not co-write the actual story. Considering he has written/co-written scripts, it would only make sense that he co-wrote the book and not just provided the concept.

He's the co-author... That might be a tiny little bit more than "having the concept" and/or "dabbling", don't you think ?
