Quote:I think with this film, we'll see a more true-to-game story. But I have a feeling that they're going to go outside the 'It's all in your head' structure. Which as far as story goes in SH games is the only reason I enjoy them.
Exactly.
I love this series to death. I've played through SH2 more than 70 times. I'm novelizing the game for fun, and I've written almost every bit of it totally from memory. I have a very good understanding of the series and its various storylines.
This game is definitely based heavily on SH1. I love the concept of the snow actually being ash, that's long been a theory among SH enthusiasts. The ash is supposedly from a fire that devastated half of the town, and it may or may not be related to the character Dahlia, whose house also burned down.
I did not like the idea of Rose being able to contact the outside world with a cell phone. That's a breaker. (Besides, SH1 took place in 1983, they didn't have phones like that back then).
The Hell of Silent Hill is actually unique to whichever person is creating it (as each Silent Hill's alternate reality is SOMEBODY's creation). In this case it's supposed to be Alessa's... I really love how they captured the look and feel of it. I ESPECIALLY love the shot of the army of demon nurses, frozen in motion like that. That was some hardcore attention to detail.
All in all I am guardedly optimistic about this movie.
