@@DarkwaveMistress Here, both parts. This might blow you away a bit. Especially the last part of part 2, with all the visual references - ruclips.net/video/G7phu5XNKwg/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/M-FTLLzvYD8/видео.html
I flipped my chair after finding my screenshot of the unused room at 5:15 I discovered it after my colleagues made model exporter, for SH1. I'm so glad we could contribute to this documentary 😊
I love these videos, you've clearly put a lot of work into them. As a devote Silent Hill fan since 1999 I applaud you for bringing these unsung heroes to light.
Weird. I didn't receive any notification for this video and It isn't listed on the main page either. I only find It after checking up the playlist "Silent Hill" by accident. I wonder if it is meant to be this way or something went wrong?
it's cool to see a video that actually makes note of so many of the real-world references that the game designers chose for the game world. when i last played the game, my head turned big time when i saw bruce willis's face in the darkness of the otherworld!
Brilliant work as always! But OH MY, the way I FREAKED when you mentioned Shadow of Destiny. No one I know has heard of that game and it hurts me. I played that game over and over growing up! Thank you for validating me in that moment lol
it's quite ironic that at the time games still weren't considered something mature and also so violent they "caused" violence, there were so many complaining about the lack of blood in SH1, it makes me wonder what would've been the reception if the game really had a greater focus on gore... these things are really interesting to think about years later
Another great video! Thank you for making these videos, it gives me an even greater understanding and appreciation of this game series! Also, I’m loving the Chopin in the background!
Great work! I can tell you have a real passion for this series. think I caught you at the end of the premiere and recommended DreadOut 2. They're both good (to me) but the 2nd one is much better. If you enjoyed the Fatal Frame series, it may be right up your alley. Best wishes!
@@scopeadope Ooh, hard to explain. Let's call it a mystery by story, investigation and puzzle by gameplay. It's one of those games that's deeper than it appears. At the time I played it there were multiple people in my family also playing and we'd all straight up leave the house when the others were playing to prevent spoilers, we all wanted to figure it out ourselves. Haha! Still have my copy somewhere, too, just can't play anymore...
wonder how much Hellbound: Hellraiser II influenced Takahashi for Silent Hill or if it was just the first Hellraiser. I see so much proto-SH imagery in Hellbound!
Amazing video series. Very informative. But I have one curiosity, what do you trying to achieve when you convince us that "there's no Team Silent"? What difference does that make? There's no denial that first 4 entries was the best of SH franchise. I don't say the others are garbage, but there's definitely some things missing in the hands of western developers. I don't try to make a negative criticism, as I said, very informative video series, we get to know every member up close. This is just a matter of curiosity.
It's something I've very passionate about, for a lot of reasons, but the short story is that it hurts both eastern and western developers. I've seen 'Team Silent' devs on twitter being bothered to the point of begging people to stop interacting with them because of this 'please return to the glory days of team silent!!!' mentality. It reduces them to one function, and often ignores the fact that dozens of these people left Silent Hill willingly, never planning or desiring to return. It ignores all the other great work they've done, which I hope to share in this series. And of course, the harassment campaigns against western devs like Tomm Hullett have had huge impacts on people's livelihoods and mental health. It comes from an unhealthy obsession with the past, and a lack of the full picture, which I hope to elucidate further in more videos to come.
@@thegamingmuse thank for taking time to reply me. I know what you're talking about, some fans are incredibly toxic towards western developers and obsessing about Japanese devs. I think Ito is the only one who embraced it to the fullest, but sometimes I stumble his some tweets that he's tired of this s*** already. The franchise is dead and Konami has no intention reviving it.
There is a Team Silent. Everyone who worked on the original four is a part of it. It wasn’t a name made up by the fans. It was at the end of one of the SH2 trailers shown at E3.
Ugh the Demon's Souls "remake." I paid $1300 for a PS5 when it dropped (gougers) so I could play it without waiting a year or two for PS5s to not have a stocking issue. It's the same game as the first one, which I'd already beaten and done about everything in. How can you call it a remake when it's the same game with nicer graphics? That would be a remaster. The only stuff they added was a new class or two and some new swords (there are hundreds of swords in Souls games) - they could have at least added some new worlds or bosses or SOMETHING new to justify the word remake.
I'm so in love with this series. You really are bringing something fresh to the fandom. Thanks for the hard work!
You may want to check out the "Silent Hill inspirations" videos on Twin Perfect channel. In case you haven't already. Pure awesomness.
@@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253 I'll check them, thanks for the recommendation!

Chicago, who knew? No wonder I sometimes get that vibe of being in Silent Hill when I look out the window on a foggy day.
Another great video! Thank you for making these videos, it gives me an even greater understanding and appreciation of this game series! Also, I’m loving the Chopin in the background!
As a lifelong Chicagoan and almost life long silent hill fan, I had no idea about this. Another awesome thing I've learned from this series.
Loved this. Proper in depth and engaging!! :)

- The Book of Lost Memories
I've been looking for this🙏
Now my love has deepened like never before..for years i'm searching for some good sh knowledge..and you..area mazing
Loving the series, Muse. Keep up the good work.
how the hell am i just learning they took a trip to my city and took inspiration from it , Silent Hill is inspired by chicago made my day
What an amazing video! New subscriber here.
This is gold. Thanks!!
I like the 2 girls 1 cup esque music playing in the bg
Nice, this series is just great. :)
Groovy video.
I miss Shadow of Destiny. I wish fervently that it'd be re-released without a single frame altered. That game was the best.
What genre game was it?

@@Zagadka06 okay. Ima check this game out. I remember the game from back then, but it was totally forgotten about. Lol thx.
@@scopeadope Hope you can get your hands on it and enjoy!
Was wondering why the title was: « There’s no Team Silent »
What did you mean "they wanted the character to climb the walls?"
Lmao! I think maybe a jumping animation not really climbing like Spiderman. Haha. Lost in translation.

At time marker 8:45, the crucified bodies throughout the game weren't emaciated, they were butchered.

I think you missed the point
I was replying to the message at the end of the first video
@@seizurebeaver9480 You could've said it in that video
I had to go out so I didn’t have the time. This video showed up in my recommended which reminded me so I just commented here.
So here is the question. Did he leave with Toyama to start BOKEH?!?!?
Silent hill is immortal
oh ^_^
14:20-14:32 where room???? Thanks! F**K Konami...Silent Hill FULL? NO! Silent Hill Lite???
These designers need to return to help revive the franchise. But its a dream I'm afraid.
These designers need to return to help revive the franchise. But its a dream I'm afraid. By the way there is a Team Silent. Saying no is a crime.
