So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - Private Hudson - 11th June 2003
..and so far, I'm only about 1 hour into it. But I can say, it already seems much better than #2 (which I found to be overall, lacking). At the moment, the storyline has yet had time to mature to the same level that was present in #2 from near the start of the game, but there have been a few interesting revelations that make you wonder just what the storyline will be about.
Gameplay is largely the same. Knife, pistol, pipe, etc. etc. Though I have been surprised by the almost complete lack of puzzles at this stage in the game. But again, I expect that to pick up as well (although, given how short the game apparently is..)
The graphics are indeed as good as we've seen in the screenshots. WEith amazing textures (for the PS2 at least). Even though the enironments are small, they are impressive. Of course with the lighting systems, there are times you notice inconsistancies. Such as when you enter a sunlit room, your shadow will be on the wall, even if you are pointing your light at it. Also, there really isn't that much difference between in-game graphics, and cut-scene graphics.. other than animations.
Anyways, I'm largely positive about this game at this stage, and while the story doesn't appear to be as good as #2 (which was the best thing about the game - hopefully it'll pick up) the atmosphere is great. I've already had the shite scared out of me on a number of occasions. Although it seems to be a lot of monsters in corridor - run to next room for safety - search room - run back through corridor with monsters - go inside next room. Meaning it doesn't maintain the intensity the whole time.
Anyways, those are my impressions, I'll update once I'm further into the game. :)

I really hope that this is going to be as scary as the first game.

How did you get the game???
So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - Weltall - 22nd June 2003
It came out in Australia before here.
They missed out on Xenogears, so they deserve this much at least.

Ah, now I understand.
I think we're getting a music cd bonus disk and something else if I remember, so it's worth the extra wait time.

One more day until Silent Hill 3.
<i>Can you feel it?</i>

I'll pass this one by for RE4. :p
So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - OB1 - 5th August 2003
RE4 isn't coming out until someone next year, and SH3 is probably better than any RE game released so far so you'd be wise to buy it.

Don't hold your breath. =P
(as much as I love the RE series, OB1 has a point.)
So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - Private Hudson - 6th August 2003
If RE4 is as good as RE1, then it will be much better than SH3.
Still, the games are definately different enough to be interested in both of them.
So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - OB1 - 6th August 2003
But that would mean that SH3 is worse than the first two games since both SH's are better than RE1.
So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - Private Hudson - 6th August 2003
No they aren't.
So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - OB1 - 6th August 2003
Sure they are.
So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - Private Hudson - 6th August 2003
No, you're wrong.
So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - OB1 - 6th August 2003
Nuh-uh.
(let's see how long we can do this)

Well the inevitable has occured. The TC idiotic arguing has at last been reduced to it's simplest form.
So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - OB1 - 6th August 2003
We're joking, stupid.
So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - Dark Jaguar - 6th August 2003
Well guh... I mean... duh.

I totally agree.

No it hasn't!

Yes huh! (OB1, YOU were supposed to say that, but no, you NEVER get my subtle hints as to what your line is!)
So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - OB1 - 6th August 2003
It's hard to tell when you're joking or not sometimes, and I think we've been over that many times already.
So I picked up Silent Hill 3.. - Great Rumbler - 6th August 2003
Yes, we have.

<b>Scare factor:</b>
SH series > RE
<b>Action:</b>
SH series < RE
<b>Puzzles:</b>
SH series = RE (leaning a taaad to SH since they don't require you to run back and forth as much)
<b>Story:</b>
SH series > RE (RE is too night of the living dead-ish)
<b>Difficulty of monsters:</b>
SH series < RE (by a landslide)
They're both equal in my eyes.
