Oh my gosh. Silent Hill 1 TOTALLY needs a remake more than 2. Now I'm not holding my breath that the remake will be that good (the OG being lighting in a bottle and all that) but if it is, that's great. But Shattered Memories taught us that that there is so much potential with the original's premise. Let's see it!
Rather than having YET ANOTHER beloved classic remade, I think it'd be far better to simply make enhanced ports the original game for modern gaming platforms that have some quality-of-life enhancements, but is otherwise completely faithful to the original in terms of content and presentation. Basically, give us better frame rates, internal resolution, simple stuff like that. No need to go overboard because, as you said, the original game was already lightning in a bottle. The problem with many older games that have gotten remakes is that the original games are no longer being sold in any capacity on modern platforms, which includes Silent Hill 1. Unless you sail the seven seas or are willing to spend an arm and leg for an aging physical copy, you're pretty much S.O.L. if you don't already own a copy of the game. Remaking games while doing nothing to make the original game's they're based on available on modern platforms just feels like we're just replacing classic games with newer games that have a shinier coat of paint on them. In that sense, these games might as well be no different to disposable toys rather than pieces of interactive art that many people like to state they are. All that being said, I don't care if fans remake games because they're not the ones who are able to distribute the original games on the current market. They can do whatever they want for all I care. Besides, they're more likely to make something that's actually worth playing since their remakes are made as passion projects rather than easy cash grabs for companies. EDIT: Comment got posted before I was finished writing it, so I had to edit it to remedy that.
@Cyraxior Well I can certainly understand that desire, wholesale. I'd love to just have a good Silent Hill game made again rather than a mediocre/crappy entry that misses the mark across the board. It just seems like these series just can't get a good modern entry to save its life. I'm pretty much at the point to where I just simply want games to stop being made for the series altogether so it's legacy doesn't get watered down even more than it already has. The most recent entries are complete jokes to me, and what I currently know and have seen of the SH2 Remake so far is NOT filling me with confidence that Bloober Team is going to stick the landing with THAT game, either. I know I'm VERY jaded on the present state of Silent Hill, and NOT enthusiastic towards what's on the immediate horizon, so I know some people are going to ignore what I say about things like the upcoming SH2 Remake by virtue of my words raining on the more optimistic fans' parade. But at the very least I don't think most people would be against the original Silent Hill games being made available for modern platforms so people can go play those without needing to jump through some extra hoops if they want. Having that is certainly better than having no option to play them at all.
Konami lost or accidentally deleted the original Silent Hill data. So i heard. So that's why we never had a port or it being added the ps3 collection which only had 2 and 3, but where also not great ports😅. I do agree its been so long we heard anything about Silent Hill until that PT was stopped and now SH 2 remake. We do need a proper remaster of the og Silent Hill. Thankfully i still have my ps1 game as well download on ps3 if i ever get that itch to go back to that town.....Silent hill😱
@stark5679 Yeah, they likely no longer have the source code for SH1, so that option for creating a port of it for other platforms is effectively gone. However, a program was recently created and released for the Nintendo 64 emulation scene that allows users to decompile and recompile N64 roms and create fully functioning PC executables of your own N64 games using the C programming language, and people have already started using it to begin creating enhanced PC ports of several notable N64 games, adding support for higher internal resolutions, higher framerates, true widescreen, and other quality of life enhancements and features. The program in question that creates these decompiled roms is very easy and quick to use, so even a beginner could create playable PC ports of their N64 games within a manner of minutes. I bring this up because I can easily see someone eventually coming along and creating a similar tool for PSX games, even if it'll still take some time to see it happen. For Silent Hill 1 specifically, using a tool similar to the one I just mentioned and just decompiling and recompiling the game could allow users to create an enhanced port of SH1 without ever needing to get their hands on the original source build for the game which Konami no longer has. It's still possible to make ports of SH1, enhanced ones at that, but like I said, we'll have to wait until an easy method to decompile and recompile PSX games comes around like it recently had in the N64 scene.
14:31 Cybil originally says "don't go blasting me by mistake" which is foreshadowing the boss fight way later in the game. You are not supposed to shoot her, lest you want the bad ending.
Thanks so much for sharing the demo ^^, I'm a follower of your work (Fan of Resident Evil and Silent Hill so of course I would follow a channel called "Ink Ribbon"!). To answer some questions you had : - Yes I worked on this alone (only on my weekends when I was working at my former job) - I released this demo a year ago (worked on this for a year and a half as it was my first time doing a fully playable game - This explains the few bugs and the lack of polish/ optimisation). - I never was contacted by Konami to shut down the project, it was always intended as a free playable demo (and I never wanted to have any problems with Konami) - This was made so that I can show people what I could do on my own to work on my own IP afterwards (Right now working on a playable demo of the original Metal Gear Solid, but this will be my last "fan-made" project :) ) For those who don't know there are few more objects and easter eggs hidden in the demo, I won't spoil the fun for every one as there's a riddle to find an alternative appearance for Harry ;)
I tried this game a while ago, literally unplayable on keyboard & mouse, and I didn't have a controller. Hope you can fix the keybinding in this game to be more like RE2 remake. 😢
15:06 I think this is EXACTLY why everyone skipping SH1 and playing SH2 kind of ruined the lore. Everyone thinks that Silent Hill is this place that punishes people for their sins, a kind of purgatory. It isn't that at all. SH1's story is very cryptic but reveals that Cheryl was just projecting her pain onto the town with the help of its power and her psychic abilities. Cybil was just an unfortunate bystander with no "guilt" or lesson that she needed to learn. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Also, thanks for giving SH1 its flowers, I TOTALLY agree with you that it needs a remake more than 2 and (unpopular opinion) I think its the best in the series.
If you watch any of the SH1 documentaries (there are numerous on youtube) you'll notice that team silent just copypasted Steven King's "Myst", which, in turn, was created during all the craze around mystical stuff. In a nutshell, SH1 was just a fever dream. SH2 was an attempt to make something more original and universal in a way, and they succeeded. Also, you could easily argue that Silent Hill is indeed a sort of purgatory for sinners, especially if you deem the ending where Harry is dead after the initial car accident as a canon ending.
@GugureSux Yes, but I wish they remade it during the PS2 era like Capcom did with the first Resident Evil. There was a big graphical jump from the PS1 to the PS2.
@@Mr.Ditkovich. SH was released in 1999, RE OG was in 1996. Probably too soon to remake it on the PS2 which was only released a couple years later. But maybe PS3 era, they have left it too long and then skipped it by remaking SH2 instead 🤔
@CL-Filmz No, if it was made during the PS3 era, it would have been one of those generic over the shoulder 3rd person action horror games. I just want it to look better without changing the gameplay and camera (basically just like SH2 and 3). It took Capcom only 6 years to remake the first game and probably would have taken them less if they didn't add all the new things.
The camera moved while in the alleyway is so good. I hope many horror game do this. Change the camera from 3rd person to "fixed" camera perspective for some moment instead of just 3rd person only.
Yeah, too close of the character, you can't see the full scenario. At least an option of 3rd person should be mandatory in every survival horror game like SH and RE.
@@isimioyekunlemarktaiwo3643 I love shattered memories, but that's just way too far removed to be a remake of SH1. Besides, if Konami wants to also eventually remake SH3, they need a proper SH1 remake because the story of SH3 will not connect to Shattered Memories.
@osamafart it is, but it is also way more advanced than 1 and has aged much better. Just like how RE1 was remade first and only decades later 2 was remade although it was more popular. Plus given that they want to also get new fans on board 1 is the best installment to introduce Silent Hill. My opinion though let's see what happens 😁😁
You seriously want to butcher all the games beyond repair and recognition?? Get lost! Play the Team Silent's original games. Their atmosphere and design beat the living hell out of this sort of UE5 slop.
@@GugureSux Yeah, but why play the video game interpretations at all? Stay true and just watch the original Jacobs Ladder movie or read The Mist over and over again. F*ck progress and reimagination! 😄
To answer your question (15 min in), the theme of the protagonist’s having demons that are represented in the world starts in 2 (which was a surprise back in the day). Cybil and Harry are just caught up in Alyssa’s representation of the town, so the other world and its representations are her trauma from being the Gods vassal and being burned alive.
That's actually a great question that you brought up about Cybil, and I'm glad you did. I'm a huge fan of the Team Silent SH series. It's been ages since I played the first game. To this day I'm still discovering things about this series that I never knew, and I don't think I've really ever asked myself if Cybil has her own personal reasons/issues for being in Silent Hill. You can't really say that she was put there to be Harry's protector cause they're constantly separated, plus she doesn't even see the Otherworld like Harry does.
Iirc she does see it eventually, it's talked about in a cutscene fairly far into the game. As for Cybil (and Harry) not having personal issues would be because it's all about Alyssa's psychic powers creating a nightmare world, after SH1 things were quietly retconned and/or added
Portishead posters in the cafe was a nice touch. They're a 90s triphop band. Basically the main innovators of the genre and the games after this one all had triphop style music for the OSTs.
We really do need a silent hill remake. I remember playing it for ps1 and it was the hardest riddle based game where we couldn't just Google the answer. Lmao I still remember the final area was like a maze and I couldn't figure out the riddles with all the names in the classroom and I was stumped for days and just couldn't beat it. Then I finally figured the riddle out and beat the game like it was one of the best survival horror games of the 90s
@@cloudfoxdie no dude, they Grey children are an invention of the film, they have different names in the game Larval Stalker, Stalker, Mumbler, Clawfinger Clawfingers replaced the mumblers in the censored versions
It's made by fans but the polish is quite decent! I loved the actual preservation of the camera angles too, tthey were a great touch. I really wanna see a SH1 remake.
Exactly where are all these Fan Project RE3R remakes that many people started lol There are just two people that still working on it but they taking a bit long...
About Cybil, she doesn't have any demons. In original game, she couldn't see monsters nor Otherworld because she didn't have any trauma or demons inside her. Same with Laura from Silent Hill 2, reason why she was unharmed and couldn't see any monsters is because she is pure of heart. In Silent Hill games, characters perceive everything around them differently due to their demons, trauma and emotions. In Silent Hill 3, Heather saw anyone who was part of the Order as the monster (Missionary, Leonard Wolf and ''monsters'' you find in hidden church) due to her hatred for Claudia.
I feel like gaming was more of an immersive experience, and therefore more scary, back in the 90s, because we didn't have distractions like we have now. No phones, tablets, social media. I remember just sitting in front of the TV, playing SH and being totally scared but wanting to keep playing. Had to play with the lights on and I ended up not being able to play it on my own lol.
@15:15 - I think Cybil is a collateral damage in all of these. She happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. But yeah, without her, no one will give Harry the gun he really needed.
It's amazing that a small group of people made this remake. Definitely seeing the love and dedication they put into this remake. Let us hope that Konami's Silent Hill 2 remake will be as faithful as this fan made game.
*10:55** No hope, the map change and you're trapped. Amazing Fanmade Remake, these guys are super talented. BTW, hope you get some nice sleep.* *11:26** nice details in the Portishead posters, that band was a huge inspiration for Akira Yamaoka.*
A sheriff department can deputize civilians in an emergency, but Cybil is probably just a regular traffic cop. Even then they usually don't distribute weapons.
15:35 same here. In fact i think i will start learning little by little so hopefully by the time im old enough to retire, i can make my own remake of my favorite racing game ever. R4: Ridge Racer Type 4
Small detail. They need to add the foot steps. And the music in the cafe when you first meet cyble was eerie. They should have added that to. Excellent vid tho G
I think there's logical explanation why Cybil gave a gun to a civilian: She encountered dreadful creature on the way (that caused her to crash her bike) and thought it'd be impossible to escape without a weapon. She can't stop Harry from going, but maybe she could help him survive. He's the only person (yet) she met in this town after all.
Excellent Demo! Fans really bring wonderful projects, If they have studio and money they could bring modern games with the old spirit ones. Congratulation for them. Undoubtly Silent Hill 1 deserves a REMAKE, but one thing we need understand is that enterprises have marketing view and Silent Hill 2 is the most popular SH of all the games and because of that was the aim of KONAMI for the first REMAKE (could be beyond that because SH2 not have conection with the lore of SH1 and 3). I'm very sure Silent Hill 1 will be the second REMAKE that KONAMI will bring, if they not working on a SH 1 Remake right now "out of cameras". You could put the link to download this DEMO bro. *Who want play the DEMO search for the vídeo in the Maxime THOMAS LE DEORE channel, have the download link in the description.* NO VIRUS
This brought back so many memories. I was a young kid when this came out and my little bro was even younger lol. He really wanted to watch me play so I tried to make the story sound a bit goofier. I can't remember the name of the actual cult or evil dude cuz I always referred to him as Sam I Am and how this whole thing was a large, tortuous trap to force Harry into trying green eggs and ham. It is absolutely hilarious to me that I played games like that as a kid but I won't let my own kid play one at the same age or watch me play one. I didn't do myself any favors giving myself a primal fear of school restrooms after playing Silent Hill lol. That is still one of the creepiest parts of any SH game I've played. It's honestly up there with the mirror from SH3. Think it just hits harder when you're a kid. I'd love a full remake of this.
Tge flying bat thing was actually a creature from the OG on the gamecube and it would roam around in free roam looking for you 😅 I was 9 when me and my friend first encountered it lol
To answer your questions in the video. #1. If you ran past the Grey Children in the starting area, you would eventually be blocked by a fence that spranf out of nowhere. #2. Cybil does have a backstory and a reason for being in Silent Hill, but its only clarified on the play novel for GBA. It's honestly a lot to go over, so I suggest looking into it yourself. It's honestly a sad story. She does have her own demons though and Silent Hill does take advantage of them in Play Novel.
this is 🔥🔥🔥 Silent Hill 1 needed this wayyy more than 2. It made me such a fan of the franchise that I wrote a book on 1st game which included a chapter or 2 telling Cybils perspective and included elements of Shattered Memories but bulk of it from original. I only wish I had resources to get copyright permission and officially publish it.
technically and visually it is amazing, it needs to be finished and it needs character mapping, combat, etc work to be finishable. I have only seen the version that ends where the ps1 demo ends.
I always wanted a Silent Hill 1 remake, it was the first game that set the tone, and the fogged town concept is super creepy, I especially remember when the town changed, the floor changed too, that's was freaking scary to me as a kid, as if you can feel but can't see through what's beneath, like bottomless. But yeah, if they remake this would have to give a better reason for Harry to get a gun, it's so odd for a cop just hand over a gun to a total stranger like that.
the ritual didn't occur in that far away house though, like origins said, it actually occured in her house's basement which is located in the commercial district of silent hill, the fire got out of control and burned 5 other houses in the process. But cool begining anyway cybil's bike was on the side of the road because she was pulled to the fogworld of silent hill as cheryl entered silent hill and both sides of alessa reunited. the four people that are in the fogworld (Harry, Cybil, Kauffman and Dahlia) are there because they are involved in alessa's pain somehow, but in the case of cybil, she was just too close to cheryl when they recombined and was pulled. Many doctors and nurses in alchemilla hospital were also pulled straight to the otherworld because they were closer to alessa's body and were involved with the cult indirectly. The puppet nurses and doctors are actually real people who were infected with the parasite in the otherworld, just like cybil was.
0:13 dude same. I'm also extremely pale, i don't tan i burn. 😂😂😂 Loving this fan remake, i hope they do eventually make the full game. I get why SH2 was remade first as it's more popular, but i hope we do eventually get a propper SH1 Remake.
I remember playing silent hill 3 when I was kid couldn’t even get pass the start with amusement park saw one monster and nope the hell out since then I’ve watched let’s play of other RUclipsrs
fuckin a this is great, also i think cybil was investigating the doctor, and his drug smuggling ring. there's something about that in a collectible from one of the other games. Not sure which one.. anyway this release is it the full game or just a segment?

God the facial animations are very impressive. It's kind of got that late 90's ps1 asthetic in a way I can't put my finger on.
Despite being a indie one person project, this is much better looking than the SH2 remake by a long mile.
Harry's wife was clearly modeled after Zoey Deschanel
We really do need a silent hill remake. I remember playing it for ps1 and it was the hardest riddle based game where we couldn't just Google the answer. Lmao I still remember the final area was like a maze and I couldn't figure out the riddles with all the names in the classroom and I was stumped for days and just couldn't beat it. Then I finally figured the riddle out and beat the game like it was one of the best survival horror games of the 90s
in the original you can't runaway from the grey children because the way you came through is blocked by fence
correct but remember the Gray Children are from the stupid movie, in the game they're Mumblers
I looked it up, and the mumblers are those brown versions that show up later, and gray children are the ones at the start.@GothMermaidGamer
@@GothMermaidGamer the grey children are the original uncensored enemies, the mumblers are there as censorship
@@GothMermaidGamer
Okay first : the SH 1 movie is GOATed, second : grey children are in the game, just not every version
@@cloudfoxdie no dude, they Grey children are an invention of the film, they have different names in the game
Larval Stalker, Stalker, Mumbler, Clawfinger
Clawfingers replaced the mumblers in the censored versions
No, sir. You can't run away from them. If you manage to slip pass the the tiny giggling nightmares, your way back is now blocked off by a fence
This actually looks quite well made tbh and I would love to see a Silent Hill 1 remake
It's made by fans but the polish is quite decent! I loved the actual preservation of the camera angles too, tthey were a great touch. I really wanna see a SH1 remake.
Path from the alleyway is blocked off in the original if you try to escape.
Man, this is insane, level of care and dedication to this is god tier
Is crazy to see how far fan games have gone, like, this fan made game looks like a early seventh-generation triple A game (maybe better)
Oustanding facial animations and pretty good voice acting
Totally agree. This needs the remake. SH2 is fine as it is.
Can we get a fan remake of RE3R so it’s not shit?
@@pauls6416 there was a Brazilian fanmade RE3 remake but last time I tried it it was an alpha
idk what the state of the game is right now
Exactly where are all these Fan Project RE3R remakes that many people started lol
There are just two people that still working on it but they taking a bit long...
It's not shit. It's just too short.
@@whistlestopwonders yep, what's there is great, it's just not enough
@@Keyboardeater1 shame they made that RE online mode and didn't lengthen the campaign and add mercenaries:operation mad jackal.
About Cybil, she doesn't have any demons. In original game, she couldn't see monsters nor Otherworld because she didn't have any trauma or demons inside her. Same with Laura from Silent Hill 2, reason why she was unharmed and couldn't see any monsters is because she is pure of heart. In Silent Hill games, characters perceive everything around them differently due to their demons, trauma and emotions. In Silent Hill 3, Heather saw anyone who was part of the Order as the monster (Missionary, Leonard Wolf and ''monsters'' you find in hidden church) due to her hatred for Claudia.
I feel like gaming was more of an immersive experience, and therefore more scary, back in the 90s, because we didn't have distractions like we have now. No phones, tablets, social media.
I remember just sitting in front of the TV, playing SH and being totally scared but wanting to keep playing. Had to play with the lights on and I ended up not being able to play it on my own lol.
Looks super decent, aside from the story additions and Harry talking to himself out loud when we had text in the original.
Too bad Konami couldn’t put together something like this 🙂
They could but don't want
I'm glad they still caught that Twin Peaks aka Lynchian feel in the diner scene.
My god this is awesome. I still own my PS1 version of the game on disk.
This has "nintendo hire this man" energy
Harry looks like Bill Pullman from Lost Highway.
15:05 About Cybil...I never thought about that! 😯
Love Portishead poster behind Harry in the diner that is so cool. I would DIVE on a SH1 remake for sure I really hope they do one.
@15:15 - I think Cybil is a collateral damage in all of these. She happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But yeah, without her, no one will give Harry the gun he really needed.
The Harry voice actor is actually really good for a fan game!
10:52 - In the original you can't run away from them, as soon as the cutscene starts, a fence spawns and blocks the alleyway you came in from.
It's amazing that a small group of people made this remake. Definitely seeing the love and dedication they put into this remake. Let us hope that Konami's Silent Hill 2 remake will be as faithful as this fan made game.
Silent hill 1 is underated its deff more aggresive than silent hill 2
I remember playing the demo when it first came out. Those sirens freaked me out. Made it feel like the end of the world was happening
*10:55** No hope, the map change and you're trapped. Amazing Fanmade Remake, these guys are super talented. BTW, hope you get some nice sleep.*
*11:26** nice details in the Portishead posters, that band was a huge inspiration for Akira Yamaoka.*
I been saying that for years we need silent hill one remake it’s a gem
No, we don't. Leave it alone.
A sheriff department can deputize civilians in an emergency, but Cybil is probably just a regular traffic cop. Even then they usually don't distribute weapons.
Pretty cool seeing the Portishead posters in the diner, seeing as the title theme of the original actually sounds like a Portishead track.
How am i getting in touch to the developers and tell them to finish this.
What a remake SHOULD BE! 😊❤
15:35 same here. In fact i think i will start learning little by little so hopefully by the time im old enough to retire, i can make my own remake of my favorite racing game ever. R4: Ridge Racer Type 4
Small detail. They need to add the foot steps. And the music in the cafe when you first meet cyble was eerie. They should have added that to. Excellent vid tho G
I think there's logical explanation why Cybil gave a gun to a civilian: She encountered dreadful creature on the way (that caused her to crash her bike) and thought it'd be impossible to escape without a weapon. She can't stop Harry from going, but maybe she could help him survive. He's the only person (yet) she met in this town after all.
This looks so good!
And I think they won't make "another" SH1 remake because we got Shattered Memories (although it's not exactly a remake but yeah)
Excellent Demo! Fans really bring wonderful projects, If they have studio and money they could bring modern games with the old spirit ones. Congratulation for them.
Undoubtly Silent Hill 1 deserves a REMAKE, but one thing we need understand is that enterprises have marketing view and Silent Hill 2 is the most popular SH of all the games and because of that was the aim of KONAMI for the first REMAKE (could be beyond that because SH2 not have conection with the lore of SH1 and 3).
I'm very sure Silent Hill 1 will be the second REMAKE that KONAMI will bring, if they not working on a SH 1 Remake right now "out of cameras".
You could put the link to download this DEMO bro.
*Who want play the DEMO search for the vídeo in the Maxime THOMAS LE DEORE channel, have the download link in the description.*
NO VIRUS
In the original game, the alley part in the beginning will block you off with a fence when the grey children spawn.
This brought back so many memories. I was a young kid when this came out and my little bro was even younger lol. He really wanted to watch me play so I tried to make the story sound a bit goofier. I can't remember the name of the actual cult or evil dude cuz I always referred to him as Sam I Am and how this whole thing was a large, tortuous trap to force Harry into trying green eggs and ham. It is absolutely hilarious to me that I played games like that as a kid but I won't let my own kid play one at the same age or watch me play one. I didn't do myself any favors giving myself a primal fear of school restrooms after playing Silent Hill lol. That is still one of the creepiest parts of any SH game I've played. It's honestly up there with the mirror from SH3. Think it just hits harder when you're a kid. I'd love a full remake of this.
Tge flying bat thing was actually a creature from the OG on the gamecube and it would roam around in free roam looking for you 😅
I was 9 when me and my friend first encountered it lol
Cybil was there to investigate drug trafficking in the city
The fact they kept the og music is really giving me nostalgia and anxiety x/
To answer your questions in the video.
#1. If you ran past the Grey Children in the starting area, you would eventually be blocked by a fence that spranf out of nowhere.
#2. Cybil does have a backstory and a reason for being in Silent Hill, but its only clarified on the play novel for GBA. It's honestly a lot to go over, so I suggest looking into it yourself. It's honestly a sad story. She does have her own demons though and Silent Hill does take advantage of them in Play Novel.
This brings me so nostalgia
It's unreal
I would gladly sit here and watch an entire playthrough. This was great
Remake Dino Crisis next
That heat wave is no joke! It's 115 degrees where I'm at
To see this level of talent form fans make my heart happy, gaming came along way
You mean, re-remake one, don't forgot about Shattered Memories. And yeah, this fan game looks beautiful. Konami, come watch this, lol.
Wow this is truly amazing i wana get this one. I played the 1999 version ps1
Damn, I'm catching all my faves early today!!
this is 🔥🔥🔥
Silent Hill 1 needed this wayyy more than 2. It made me such a fan of the franchise that I wrote a book on 1st game which included a chapter or 2 telling Cybils perspective and included elements of Shattered Memories but bulk of it from original. I only wish I had resources to get copyright permission and officially publish it.
I honestly don't know if Harry's face or voice is better, this is insane
This is something incredible. Can't believe it's a fan game.
You look more and more buff, Kai. Great progress.
The demo looks awesome. A SH1 remake would make a lot of people very happy.
For a fan made game, this is really impressive
The characters look really good, Harry is so handsome!
BTW this playtrough is so chill!
This is an awesome fan remake! And I love watching you play these types of games
Koonami shouldve hired these guys,this was incredible what they fonr for an infie team.
Lisa's death scene in a remake is going to make me an emotional wreck.
Surprised we haven’t heard from Kai regarding the gog resident evil releases.
It's fricking well done.
Awesome.
Hope they remake this for the original fans.
technically and visually it is amazing, it needs to be finished and it needs character mapping, combat, etc work to be finishable. I have only seen the version that ends where the ps1 demo ends.
I like how she totally flags him with the pistol instead of handing it over grip first.
I always wanted a Silent Hill 1 remake, it was the first game that set the tone, and the fogged town concept is super creepy, I especially remember when the town changed, the floor changed too, that's was freaking scary to me as a kid, as if you can feel but can't see through what's beneath, like bottomless.
But yeah, if they remake this would have to give a better reason for Harry to get a gun, it's so odd for a cop just hand over a gun to a total stranger like that.
the ritual didn't occur in that far away house though, like origins said, it actually occured in her house's basement which is located in the commercial district of silent hill, the fire got out of control and burned 5 other houses in the process. But cool begining anyway
cybil's bike was on the side of the road because she was pulled to the fogworld of silent hill as cheryl entered silent hill and both sides of alessa reunited. the four people that are in the fogworld (Harry, Cybil, Kauffman and Dahlia) are there because they are involved in alessa's pain somehow, but in the case of cybil, she was just too close to cheryl when they recombined and was pulled. Many doctors and nurses in alchemilla hospital were also pulled straight to the otherworld because they were closer to alessa's body and were involved with the cult indirectly. The puppet nurses and doctors are actually real people who were infected with the parasite in the otherworld, just like cybil was.
This looks pretty nice, just wonder if they would remake SH 1, would be lovely!!
0:13 dude same. I'm also extremely pale, i don't tan i burn. 😂😂😂
Loving this fan remake, i hope they do eventually make the full game. I get why SH2 was remade first as it's more popular, but i hope we do eventually get a propper SH1 Remake.
I remember playing silent hill 3 when I was kid couldn’t even get pass the start with amusement park saw one monster and nope the hell out since then I’ve watched let’s play of other RUclipsrs
When characters of an Indie game have more facial expressions than all characters of the Dark Pictures Anthology reunited xD the game looks amazing !
fuckin a this is great, also i think cybil was investigating the doctor, and his drug smuggling ring. there's something about that in a collectible from one of the other games. Not sure which one.. anyway this release is it the full game or just a segment?
Looks like it could be a great remake. They got the radio noise wrong tho..
In addition to static noise there should also be a ringing sound.
