Silent Hill: The Arcade

[TheOrganization]

Ok I didnt even know this existed until two days ago. I went into an arcade and there it was in all it's glory.
I was too excited and couldnt leave until i'd completed it.
It was a good game and had all the monsters and some new ones, even pyramid head made an appearence.
The storyline was pretty cool, it told the story of the little baroness, the ship that sunk on toluca lake.

[Rombie]

They actually released it? Wow. I thought the thing had been buried.

[Gradon]

It has been released in UK?
No, Fucking, Way?

[TheOrganization]

Yep, well i went to the coast a few days ago, wandered into an arcade and there it was in all it's glory

[Darkmoon]

...well screw me with a pole. Huh.

Better ask my wife where the nearest arcade is and how many pound coins I can shovel into this beastie.

[TheOrganization]

well to be fair, i managed to complete the game and it only cost me a fiver

[Darkmoon]

...really? Well, either you're really, really good or it's really, really easy. I'd sorta like the easy option since I need those coins for other games.

[TheOrganization]

I'm pretty good at those arcade shooting games and on this one you can do head shots for instant kills,
on the difficulty level i'd say it was normal

[Gradon]

Well I'll be gutted like a fish.
I'll probably never allowed to play it though. >_>
DAMN YOU NO ARCADES NEAR MY AREA!

[TheOrganization]

Haha there aren't any arcades near me either, i had to travel to the seaside to play it

[Joseph Frost]

I live in venezuela I've seen that arcade silent hill Like in three places It only took costed me 2.Bsf

It was really good well I really don't know because that's the fourth Silent Hill I've ever played

1-Silent Hill Card Novel-GBA
2-Silent Hill Trial Edition (I have it for my PSX emulator)
3-Silent Hill (PSX emu)
4-Silent Hill Arcade

[Darkmoon]

I assume you're meaning you have the real game for Silent Hill 1 and run it via an emulator?

Are there any signifcant differnces between the retail game and the trial edition?

[Gradon]

Apart from the grey children in the PAL demo, thats about it, I think.

[DXP]

It's out o_o damn it there's something to drag my girlfriend on when i visit her again in 2 and a half weeks time xD.

[The Creature]

Good God. I was kinda expecting something like this to happen, as is the case. Resident Evil was made into a shooter, as was Dino Crisis. Final Fantasy has its share o' spin offs, and now Silent Hill. I can almost see something like this happening for Fatal Frame as well. *blinkedy blink blink*

[Darkmoon]

Sweeeeeet. Thank you for that. I'll be watching them later when my kids are in bed.

[The John Doe]

First of all.. What's a fiver? And what's the stroy to the game and how it relates to the other games in the series?

[himher_elle]

First of all.. What's a fiver? And what's the stroy to the game and how it relates to the other games in the series?

In Silent Hill 2 you read something about a boat that sunk in silent hill lake (or whatever it name is)

[Gradon]

First of all.. What's a fiver?

UK Slang for £5's.

[The John Doe]

It's been a year or two since I played Silent Hill : Restless Dreams. What I remember the from the most from what I've read was that whole story about the serial killer. I just remember that the most because of that creepy game show quiz I had to do.

[Mr_Zombie]

If you want to meet that serial killer, play SH4 ;)

[The John Doe]

Hmm really? I have Silent Hill : The Room , but have yet to really play. Just the opening trailer creeps me out. Plus I heard, besides the name, it has nothing to do with the Silent Hill series.

[Darkmoon]

The Room is a bit limited in dealing with Silent Hill, but I wouldn't say it doesn't have anything to do with it. It fills in a lot of backstory. It just doesn't touch much on Silent Hill now. It was meant to be a different series, however, so it doesn't feel the same as the other Silent Hills.

[Mr_Zombie]

Although you don't visit Silent Hill in The Room (but one of the locations is placed at the Toluca Lake), the game is connected to the city and its myths storywise. It's gameplay is a little different than SH1-3 (there's no radio, no darkness, no flashlight, you can carry only limited number of items etc.), but it still IMO has the atmosphere of SH.

[The John Doe]

Still creep me out. But I guess you guys have a point. I may of gotten my fax wrong, with it not intending to be a Silent Hill game and all. So you really meet the killer from Restless Dreams in The Room? Correct me if I am wrong: But didn't he kill someone with a dull butter knife or something along those lines? Anyways. If The Room wasn't intended to be a Silent Hill game, than what was is suppost to be? I mean what was it's real name?

[Darkmoon]

Who knows? Maybe just the room. You can easily imagine how it wouyld have worked without the Silent Hill parts, really.

Walter killed lots of folks in many, many unpleasant ways. I don't remember the butter knife, but I can believe it.

[ShadowLeggy]

even pyramid head made an appearence.

Poor poor PyramidHead. The idea of him was so brilliant, amazing, cool, and scary as shit, the the poor man/monster has been done to death.

Maybe it's just my matter of opinion (SH is a pretty open minded game per individual) But wasn't PyramidHead James' PERSONAL Demon? Like James himself made up PyramidHead because.. he murdered his own wife, and was so subconsciously guilty; Plus; One visit to SH, he saw that painting of the red-hooded executioner? So then he formed all that together and created PyramidHead?

Like I can understand maybe these folks on the boat happened to see the painting once themselves, and for those who actually played, maybe all these people have stuff they're hiding too. But dayum. People differ extremely from person to person, especially mentally. Chances of creating the same exact mental image of a self punisher? Ehhh >_>

And also, of course, the Silent Hill movie. Ugh. Pyramid Head had absolutely no business being there. In fact, I think that's WHY he's even in the arcade game. He had all those bugs and shit just like the movie. It's just like RE4 and U.C. sticking in lasers and Red Queens and shit. It's bullshit.

RIP PyramidHead T_T

Walter only killed himself, for the first time, with a spoon, there were no butter knifes kills

[The John Doe]

That was it! A spoon!

[Nomad9026]

Preaty creative, yeah. SH series is so twisted but I realy like it.
