not too many glitches honestly

a couple times the audio cuts out, thats about it

im a bitch for that shit, and i still didnt care



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

SH: SM is pretty terrible. Barely interactive world, linear, looks terrible (on my HDTV anyway - plenty of Wii games look good on it), the 'combat' if you want to call the shaking off that is terrible and the enemy balance rather stupid with then running faster than you and teleporting several feet onto your back.

...what?

 

So being linear automatically drops it's score? I guess you hate most games that are not WRPGs? I'm also confused on how you think it looks bad? I thought it looked phenomenal. I mean, a little drop in framerate with the flashlight in bright areas but good nonetheless. 

 

T_T; Did you not understand the point of the chase scenes? And why did you not mention the story at all?

 

 

I think it's silly to called SH:SM a terrible game. Maybe one that doesn't suit your tastes, but terrible? Far from it.



Heavy Rain is better!

The ps3 is awesome =)



the best RPG's are coming 2013 !!!! oh my god, this is perfect for RPG-GAMER = ) Ni No Kuni - 25 january, Time and Eternity, tales of xillia (PS3) and the maybe best game ever: metal gear solid ground zero


@kylie

theyre all linear. also try addressing the question instead of trolling all my threads.

Heavy Rain becuase Silent Hill was good but way weak next to Silent Hill 2 and while different a little too close to the plot of Silent Hill which I've clearly already played, plus the combat (or running away) while good in it's use of the Wiimote felt a little lame to me and not properly 'Silent Hill' enough.

For me Silent Hill peaked with 2, was okay in 3, better than given credit for in 4 then crashed afterwards although Shattered Memories is better than the recent PS3/360 outing.

Heavy Rain I found much more intense by comparison (to be fair having played all the Silent Hill games I probably suffer from overexposure to that franchise with HR obviously feeling fresh and original). Also, as a parent the very real tension from the premise in HR obviously felt more immediate and realistic than a fantasy involving monsters, etc. - much as I clearly like that fantasy, particularly if it's called Silent Hill 2.

TBH, I want a great HD Silent Hill on PS3 that emulates the mood of SH2 with amazing, hi-res visuals for the otherworld and the monsters and Konami screwed the pooch on that, and I'm not forgiving them just because another developer did a decent job on Wii with the franchise.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I don't think the number of people that actually played Silent hill Shattered memories and Heavy rain is very big right now...

Most people haven't even finished Heavy rain, or even bought it.

Silent hill didn't got that many sales.

And they are not on the same platform.

A new, re-vamped SILENT HILL would be a wet dream!

I'd love to see the dense, psycho-sexual style of SH2 return in a similar premise - forget the Western preoccupation with trying to 'explain' the mystery, reasons, etc. - take an apparently normal guy like James from Silent Hill 2, and take us on another dark decent into the heart of someone's broken psyche.  And do it in HD with amazing visuals.

Off topic - I'm really enjoying HR but I played it while way too tired last night and accidently made a different choice than intended.  I'm going to live with it, but in a way I was really impressed with how it worked and my sudden sense of having abruptly interrupted the normal flow of the game.

I see that is lists chapters, does that mean you can replay them within the current narrative later or do you have to start a new story each time to try for a different play though?  I dove straight into the game and actually didn't even look at the manual (I made my origami though!) so haven't a clue what options I have in that regard.

SH: Shattered Memories was like this sublime macabre on ice.

I'd like to play Heavy Rain, but would rather wait, and pray, for Shenmue III; King of the QTEs!
