A super meta moment that constantly draws attention to the game's gameiness doesn't inspire confidence for me. The scariest moments in Silent Hill history have worked because the game allowed you to fully immerse yourself, suspend your disbelief and forget that it's a videogame.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I agree. I noticed the demo had some jump scare-ish stuff (I haven't played it myself)... SH has never been about jump scares. So I hope that's not a sign of things to come TBH.

With Kojima involved, you can be relatively secure in presuming that everything will be explained at tedious length... but that none of it will make the slightest bit of sense given more than ten seconds of thought.

Jesus Christ, Downpour was not that bad, and doesn't even belong in the same sentence as Book of Memories. Vatra was given a deadfish of a franchise after Homecoming with a limited budget, limited time frame, and did an admiral job all things considering. The only reason people are getting hyped about this is because…

Sooooo its going to be a ridiculous fast paced giant monster boss game with plots that are over convoluted and comically "murican" while still thinking its super cool and 100% taking itself seriously?

Yeah, Ill stay away from Metal Hill Zero: Alphas Omega Protocol Warfare.

Too bad too, Del Toro is exactly what this…

Nope. The difference is that Surgeon Simulator tries to fit into the larger tradition of video games, whereas Goat Simulator is just an empty bit of twice-removed irony. The joke is on anybody who paid a dime for it.

No, I'm pissed off because valuable resources end up going into the hands of people who make the worst, most cynical shit even in the "indie" realm. Everyone's used to cynical games making all the dough in AAA territory, but I think many of us had imagined that maybe the smaller games development community could be…

Yeah, sorry, Goat Simulator is crap, too. Just because you think you're in on some joke doesn't make the game good.

Kojima seems like one of the worst choices ever for Psychological horror. He's obsessed with exposition dumps, big budget Hollywood fare, A total disregard for any sort of subtlety.

I'm not sure if it's just Delusional Kojima fanboy hype, or SH fans are so desperate for anything.

I love Akiras music. Been listening to Silents hill 2, 3 and 4 soundtracks regularly ever since I played them. But to be honest, I sometimes feels that he way to often gets mention has the core person behind Silent Hill and I don't think he's decision always been the best. Most notable in Silent Hill 4…

Am... I the only one who sees Kojima being tied to this as a bad thing? I know people love him, but what has he done besides Metal Gear? To me, judging only by Metal Gear, he just seems like kind of a hack. As long as he keeps his wacky, "palette cleanser" bullshit out of it, I will be greatly looking forward to this.

This may come off as a downer, but who cares at this point.

Uh-oh, it's tangent time! This is one of my all time favorites. If you get goosebumps when 0:17 rolls around, you are a child of the 80's.

Read interviews with The Witcher 3 dev team and they'll tell you it's completely disingenuous to say that developing for older gens doesn't hinder or severely limit what you can do in the game. That's just a silly notion that doesn't hold any water. And yes when you develop for old gen there are a whole range of…

Mm, I feel Gotham worked in Batman Begins. It had character and it was beautifully designed. After that, it became "generic Chicago pastiche."

The presentation of Gotham in the second and third Nolan movies is one of the largest of many problems those movies have. They completely neutered Gotham, which made Batman stick out like an embarrassingly stupid thumb amidst it all.

Which is funny, because they shot the first two in the same one. I remember seeing some making-ofs or something where they even specifically talked about how they went out of their way to shoot Chicago from all sorts of different angles to make it look different, to suggest that Gotham is so big that no 2 scenes take…

Actually, these are:

This tired argument? Yes, kids are less discerning, but that does not mean that their entertainment should be low quality. Watch a Studio Ghibli or Pixar movie, or even a show like Adventure Time, and you'll understand that a film aimed squarely at kids can still be quality and that an adult can enjoy it on its own…
