thats weird version of the original twewy iirc

I don't think it is/was on Apple Arcade (there'd be an entry called TWEWY+ or something like that), wish it was though as Square never puts it on sale and it's likely the easiest way to play the game for me (I have a 3DS but don't want to look for a copy/really dislike playing anything on that).

The one I was thinking about was this one

Yeah I figured once I checked it up.

That got released on steam months ago too but has nothing to do with it.

you can try a bad port of the original on iOS or Android if you cannot get a DS or a Switch.

Switch/Emulation perhaps?

 

[Mivey]

The "Valve suggested" Euro price seems a bit strange, given how weak the Euro is right now against the dollar. If anything, translating it 1:1 is actually Square being nice. 60$ is currently about 61.5€.

 

[prudis]

fascinating project

, especially now ehrn they rebooted it from action game to first-person debt collectior RPG

GTA The Trilogy Possibly Headed To Steam Soon

Rockstar Games may be bringing GTA The Trilogy over to Steam sometime soon, based on the latest information.

twistedvoxel.com

A member of the GTAForums discovered that the Steam configuration had been added to the Engine.ini file of the PC version of GTA The Trilogy in update 1.04.5.

NEW SILENT HILL IS WRITTEN BY THE GUY WHO MADE HIGURASHI????

 

[Alextended]

I mean. It looks fine. Bit pointless to remake a game that still looks fine (then again they haven't managed to make a good port/remaster still, right?). But it's fine.

Edit: I mean the 2 remake. There's more games? Time stamps please?

 

[ExistentialThought]

Yeah, mixed thoughts on this one. Could be really cool, but definitely out of left field for me. I was just coming here to comment the same.

Silent Hil l2 Remake at 10:00

Silent Hill Ascension at 38:00

Silent Hill F at 43:00

Yeah, mixed thoughts on this one. Could be really cool, but definitely out of left field for me. I was just coming here to comment the same.

It's definitely an unexpected choice, reminds me simliarily of Kojima who was also fairly unexpected for this kind of game

 

[Alextended]

And what's Silent Hill: Townfall then?

 

[NarohDethan]

I'm sorry but the remake looks like absolute dog shit. Fucking Bloober.

Silent Hill f tho...

 

[STHX]

MARY, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?

 

[NarohDethan]

MARY, WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?

Marty McFly dad ass looking guy

 

[Durante]

Ryukishi07? That's actually interesting.

 

[Hektor]

Okay so

Silent Hill 2 Remake - Bloober Team, PS5 (And probably PC, if i understand the japanese right)

Silent Hill Townfall - by No Code Games (Stories Untold, Observation)

Silent Hill F - NeoBards Entertainment, Writer of the Higurashi series

Silent Hill Ascension - Bad Robot, Behavior Games, Genvid, DJ2, a live action series in which fans can interact with the show through social media

Also a new movie.

Yeah on the console screen it says *also on PC.

You understood Japanese very well, fandango.

 

[Mivey]

Seems like a fairly faithful remake, at least the trailer showed a lot of famous scenes from the game.

I guess seeing the town with modern graphics is kinda interesting, but everything regarding the plot, the characters and story is already so well known. What's the point in revisiting it? Really doesn't strike me as anything interesting.

 

[Kyougar]

I loved Higurashi and Umineko, but don't remember any notable VN after that.
BT's death had left a big hole in 07th expansion.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Yeah sure, Silent Hill When They Cry, why the fuck NOT

 

[Knurek]

He wrote the best parts of Rewrite
Also this game:

 

[Alextended]

I think the remake looks good, just pointless for people who played it or can play old games without caring about their technical qualities or potentially clunky (read: not the same as every modern action game nowadays) gameplay. Of course I'm sure people who want it to be 1:1 will find many faults, like say, character faces, mannerisms, but whatever. I won't play it, but can see it being the way new players prefer to experience it vs playing the original in some botched port

 

[Hektor]

Silent Hill F definitely looks the most interesting out of these projects.
Higurashi Writer is cool, the modern+traditional japan setting is a great choice, even it's far removed from the actual town of Silent Hill.

The live action series with community choices looks like a really interesting project on its own, but it probably won't end up being great because either the writing quality will be compromised or the choices will be fake, also behavior games lol

Silent Hill Townfall will probably be pretty great, the dev knows who to make good horror atmosphere with little effort.

Given that there isn't a good port of Silent Hill 2 to any modern platforms, excluding the PC fanpatch, i think its a fair choice to do a remake of it in a vacuum. Primary question being, if bloober of all things can pull it off.

Knowing Bloober, Mary's letter's gonna say that she's sorry she didn't give James some ass at the hospital while dying of cancer and that it was good she died.

 

[Alextended]

So the only full game type thing that is coming any time soon is the remake? Then f whenever it materializes? The rest fluff pieces to further the IP's reach? Townfall not going to be a traditional game but some kind of whatever experience type thing? So they basically chose Bloober to spearhead the IP's return?

 

[lashman]

 

[Hektor]

Before Bloober Team

After Bloober Team

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[lashman]

agreed, 100%

 

[Kal1m3r0]

More like Boober Team

 

[Hektor]

This gives a lot of hope for Silent Hill 2 Remake

 

[Sobatronix]

Man, I'm so happy that silent hill is back. Wished they announce like a collection with 1-4, but it's ok lol

 

[Alextended]

 

[toxicitizen]

I know Bloober have a reputation but hopefully they stick to a faithful remake and deliver. Haven't played anything of theirs yet so I'm going in with an open mind. If we somehow get another compromised version of SH2, though, then that game is fucking cursed for real lmao.

 

[Mivey]

I'd actually be more interested in a remake of the first Silent Hill game. The old PS1 titles seems visually the roughest, and there's be plenty of opportunity to bring it more in line with Silent Hill 2, both visually in terms of the town and gameplay wise.

We already got a SH1 remake and it was pee pee poo poo

 

[xinek]

So, I never played the Silent Hill series. Do I need to play the first one before this 2nd one? Also, why are they releasing the 2nd one on steam and not the 1st one?

Edit: oh, now I remember that remake coming out a while ago. I don't see it on Steam, though? Didn't realize it was pee pee poo poo.

 

[Alextended]

Stand alone stories so no. First one as usual is considered too old by the companies and modern gamers to be fun, being originally on PS1 (of course they could have remade it but 2 is probably the more famous of the two games and the one considered more ground breaking for whatever reason, I like both the same). You're probably thinking of the 2 remaster/port that came out, outside PS2 they've all been kinda botched technically, the first PS1 one hasn't been re-released.

 

[Hektor]

Silent Hill 1 is 100% worth playing on an emulator or an actual Playstation, it's a game made by very talented artists that understand how to work with the limitations of a medium in such a way that the game even today is insanely atmospheric.

The whole Silent Hill Fog that the franchise is iconic for only exists because of the limitations at the time and the way the devs used these limitations to their advantage for example.

However, Silent 2 can be enjoyed fully standalone, it takes only place in the same city is all.

Silent Hill 3 is a direct Sequel to Silent Hill 1 tho, but that's not the one being remade (yet).
