Yeah, I noticed that too. Apprehended or not, the guy murdered his wife EVEN in the good ending! I'm not aware of a Silent Hill protagonist who's that bad regardless of the player's in-game decisions.

@@LuxAeterna22878 I mean technically he did it to put her out of her suffering, in which considering what she actually got in terms of illness, she's sure to die anyway, albeit slow and painful. But aside from that, yeah, he's still a murderer.

Does it matter what the protagonist did? I mean we are playing a game we're not affected by the characters storyline and life besides the events unfolding through but still a character is a character and not every one of them needs to be a hero to enjoy it's narrative

That's exactly where my mind went. Even in the good ending where he did it because he couldn't stand to watch her suffering, there are bits and pieces of the game that don't exactly make him out to be 100% a nice guy either (a lot of objectification of women going on in his mind there, don'tcha think?).

@@masterdanx9335 Their point was Silent Hill already had a criminal protagonist, and protagonist for maybe the most critically-acclaimed game in the entire franchise to boot.

From a legal standpoint James murdered Mary but from a technical standpoint it was a mercy killing/euthanasia.

Noah Spears He admitted to her that he was bored of having a wife he couldn’t fuck around. It wasn’t a mercy killing. Play the game.

Actually that was a fool descission from the studio. I mean as you say James, Heather /Alessa, Alex (maybe the death of his brother was an accident, but at the end was the direct responsable). So maybe the studio doesnt know how silent hill works in some ocations.

Dude! Spoiler!

@@SamsarasArt I know this is an old post, but you misunderstood the ending. He was framed by Sewell for all the deaths, hence the “I’ll see you in hell, cupcake” line. He didn’t actually kill his son, the narrator in that scene is reading a report, one clearly made by Sewell. Sewell was already known for being corrupt. If you want to see how you’re ending tied in, watch one of the videos with all endings, it will make more sense.

That's because they actually got Stan Winston to do the designs for The Suffering.

@@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253 I think The Suffering makes it work, as Torque is said to not remember anything. Instead of just cutting away and you find out later, you know as much as the main character does at the time you start and you build off from there. Is he a heartless killer? Is he innocent? Is it something in the middle? You find out as soon as Torque does, and getting an answer that you deserve for your behavior.

@@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253 Whether or not he killed his family, he was still a gang member who killed other people at least. In the beginning one of the death row inmates states that he shived a bunch of skinheads at his last prison.

Hey Nitro

Opinions, opinions. Personally Downpour was a very unfornate game in all aspects, because it had the potential to be one of the best entries of the series, but Konami doesn't like things well made, they want them made quickly.

I loved the concept of someone accidentally getting onto another mortal's Silent Hill. If you get my drift. Since most of the game undergoes our protagonist being in someone else's version of the town

@@Arielo140 Wws

Conceptually, I love Murphy and Ann’s story and how their nightmare worlds are so intertwined. Too bad all that potential crashed like a drunk train guy.

And somewhere in our minds we all imagined ourselves as the pisses off denizens of Silent Hill. Wanting to tear Konami to pieces.

And when Hideo, Del Toro, Junji Ito and the rest of the team came by with their PT ambulance to try save it, Konami shot a rocket launcher at them.

@@yamihikarilightdark9 The way you describe that scene makes me think of Nemesis from RE3.

The Mayans prophesied the fall of Silent Hill franchise

@@SamsarasArt I truly hope you re wrong, Resident Evil 7 and Re 2 Remake give re a lot of good will, so its not impossible, but Konami doesnt care about games anymore, for all its faults EA, Activision and Capcom are gaming companies at their core, the same cannot be said about konami, at least not anymore.

oof, yeah...I try to forget that game existed. How about tapping into Dead Rising 3 while he's at it

Peter Mamaev ikr dr3 was great

@Peter Mamaev it's the black sheep because it's not in a mall.

Layne Gat I forgot that game even existed

There was a 4th one?!

Thank you for this #FucKonami News update. All the news that's fit to make you say "Fuck Konami".

ditto here

what is an LP?

@@aaronsound Let's Play. I watched RadBrad's let's play

Yeah this is the man who had to talk a team off a cliff because they wanted a DBZ-style Super Saiyan fight featuring Pyramid Head. The series fell on its face, but Tom was one of the few trying to catch it.

Holy shit, I never heard about that one. Yeah, Tomm was REALLY trying not to let things go too far, and knew fans would hate a lot of the stupid shit Konami was allowing. Hell, he fought to keep SH2 remaster's original voice work, because, again, he knew fans would hate the redubs. He's basically going, " well, this is going to suck, but let's at least try to make it suck less". Twin Perfect is the main reason the dude gets such a bad rap, but at least Fungo has turned around and apologized to Tomm for all the venom TP spewed at him.

@@Lunchbox224 and then Konami threw him under the buss to face fandom ire

He made the whole game himself, right? No team of writers, producers, artists, etc. It was all Tomm Hulett alone making every little design choice?

@rick minton err he didn ot have near as much power as you seem to think he had to fight tooth and nail to stop things from being worse as it is

Holy shit it’s been 5 YEARS?

It's like the gaming version of remembering 9/11. Rest in Peace, Silent Hills. You were too good for this world.

The news is old but the hurt is fresh.

@@NelStone1 Finally, we can rest.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I know for a fact no such thing exists

HEY MATT, I GOT A WHAT HAPPUN IDEA...

@@sugarveins survive story actually is pretty simple. It was a cut mgo3 dlc (mgo3 was supposed to be supported way longer similary to mgo2) that was made stand alone. It was then delayed for almost a year to add a single player story mode and some new things, while still having a small budget because of the project. In no ways does survive really hint on the future of the serie and can be judged like a main game (would be like comparing metal gear acid to mgs3 back then) , the game actually had a pretty good supports from the dev (even if some things were never implemented in the game brcause they probably knew the game wasn't going to be popular.) In the end, survive is just a small spin off and that's it. It's not a main game and didn't "killed the serie".

and yugioh duel links

fearful harmony That too. But if there’s one thing EA and Konami love more than burying franchises, it’s Football/Soccer and Money.

Konami: tries to milk Metal Gear with massive departure nobody asked for. Also Konami: refuses to port the games people do want to current gen. Also Konami: ports the worst Castlevania game in an otherwise amazing collection when there are many other excellent games they could've gone with. Konami logic makes Capcom logic look genius in comparison.

@@zeroattentiongaming820 Also Konami: Short prints cards in Yugioh sets and overprints cards that I'm pretty sure nobody wants. See the Battlewasps in Battles of Legend Heroes Revenge.

@@NisseDood Indeed Capcom has turned things around, but still has some questionable logic. DMC 5 being the most succesful and widely praised in the series after only a few months, but not worth getting DLC for example. Despite completely exceeding Capcoms own unrealistic expectations. The one time Capcom refuses to make DLC is the one time people are demanding it. Maybe all these collections mean Konami is trying to pull a Capcom and see what properties and gameplay styles are worth bringing back. Or maybe they are just trying to piggyback on the Bloodstained hype with the Castlevania ports.

He also had a Hellraiser movie under his belt, so when he was announced as the new Silent Hill composer I was not concerned.

HOLY SHIT HE DIED!?

The fact that they came out, dick swinging, and made a Dark Universe logo for that movie is the funniest shit in the world to me.

I hate they didn't get to the Wolfman that was the one I would have liked to see. But it is what it is

I thought Dracula Untold was the first movie in the series? You know... that Dracula movie no one remembers?

Gaming with Phil227 Nah, it was a great movie, just not enough sequel material.

Let's not forget how Tom Cruise tried to take control of the project.

Yeah, this game AT LEAST tried to move forward instead of banking on the movie like Homecoming

Yeah, i enjoyed Downpour a lot more than Homecoming overall. It definitely had some major issues though, like all of the Otherworld chase sequences, should have made more of an effort to personalise it to Murph's situation. Same as the monster designs being lazy. Atleast they didn't just go back to sexy nurses so that's a bonus i think. They missed a trick by not being with sexy demon policewomen instead though haha. Would have been cool though if Downpour's otherworld was more prison like. I also feel the story had major issues because of the entire branching paths thing, while all Silent Hill games have loads of different endings in general the characters and storyline follow one path and then a few select choices nearer the end decide what ending you get, or depending on what optional side things you did. While in Downpour it felt like they couldn;t tell a proper story or develop a strong lead character because they had to always a account for all of these choices you made.

@@LuisSanchez-yv4ct Yeah, it just makes me angry how lazy some aspects of Homecoming were, "oh look... it's Pyramid head *rolls eyes*". I will say Homecoming had cool boss/mini-boss visual designs though, it had at least that.

I don't think you're giving evil within 2 enough credit, it's such a tightly woven package. Downpour has a lot of flaws that can't easily be fixed even if it feels close to being a good game. The story is the biggest disappointment for me and I doubt that would've changed. It was a neat idea having the part change depending on your actions but it makes for a story that's so much weaker and less focused, not to mention the morale decisions are really lame.

Downpour needed more attention and polished. There were a lot of decent ideas put into it It’s no Silent Hill HD Collection...That was just bad

it hit a puppy...which is why its father built a control room to take revenge on all who enter the town's borders.

Plus make it scary.

Its not a bad game. Buts its a really bad game for a silent hill game.

@@xHinaichigox it's a terrible horror

@@xHinaichigox it's not a bad silent hill game neither

More what?

Or A dungeon crawler like Book of Memories

Pretty sure the main reason resident evil: dead aim isn't liked is because it's a light gun game

Let Andromeda die like it deserves

Dead aim is kinda good.. If you use light gun

Add I Am Alive to that list, too.

New Gundam Breaker

The prison theme could work if they made Murphy more of a hardened life-long criminal, and a bit of an asshole. And the story could be completely reworked into how he became that way. As it is in the actual game, Murphy basically chose to go to prison, and was more or less a regular guy before that. Which holds no weight. For it to work, it’d have to have commentary on how and why people become criminals. Murphy could still be sympathetic this way, but having truly terrible things. Themes could include poverty, abuse, desperation, all things that contribute to a person likely growing up to become a criminal.

Ill look into it! Thanks!

Wow. That profile pic made me get a sense of deja vu. Then I go to the channel and saw that FNAF video. Amazing thing.

yep

@Gabriel Knight that actually happens a lot to murders so not really

@Gabriel Knight yes. One of the ones who can be understood on a rational level, but killing your sick wife because you can no longer deal with caring for her is murder. (Edit: typo)

Was a bad guy, but you knew he was a bad guy in the very end of the game.

Strawberry cheesecake Murder, but not what I would call evil in that situation. Still, not liking a game because you are controlling a bad person is just plain stupid...

He was framed though, and that's Capcom not Konami lmao. Don't worry, I confused them sometimes too.

@@8Kazuja8 He covered L.A. Noire, a game that was received well and sold decently, so I doubt that mediocre games are out of the question. Plus, it might be interesting to see what happened that turned BK from a platformer to a, rather disrespectful, open-world racing game.

Actually Junji Ito wasn't attached to the Kojima Silent Hills game. www.gameinformer.com/2019/05/11/horror-manga-creator-junji-ito-speaks-about-his-involvement-with-cancelled-silent-hills

@@valletas and cloud ended up in smash instead, ironic.

Which isn't fair, because it was a good game, and Superbot did their best at it. SSM and every other company did everything they could to make it fail

@@scarlettbandit2803 It was entertaining, but the mechanics were flawed, it had a ridiculously small roster, plagued with DLC for costumes, uninspired cutscenes, awful balancing issues and no option to make the kills depend on damage. They forced the special moves kills, and many of them were unfair, as they were unavoidable. It could have been great, but the end result was poor.

@@ubermenschmexa But they were when you learned how to play them... Or precisely when you were good enough to lock someone into a kill. It took a lot more patience to master than just hit people enough times so they'll fly off stage, like in Smash. I think it was a great alternative that had loads of potential if SSM and other companies gave it a chance.

It could happen.

Placing bets it'll be some shitty money grab spin off on mobile.

Considering who Konami is, that's unlikely to ever happen, unless another massive studio offers to take it off their hands for an attractive amount of money.

@@un-capital3666 I think something like that will happen. Probably not anytime soon but Silent Hill is a big name and I can't see it fading away forever.

@@thekingsean92 Probably the best bet will be either Sony or Microsoft buying the ip and making it a exclusive to their consoles.

@@thepickles8833 I partially agree with you that it was odd for Murphy Pendleton to encounter the Doll enemies, despite their symbolism being heavily linked to Anne Cunningham... However, let it not be forgotten that protagonists in the past have encountered similar/relative creatures or monsters linked to someone else's psyche... This can be said about James Sunderland battling Angela Orosco's Abstract Daddy, the multiple iterations of the Nurse through almost every entry as well as creatures tied to the Red Pyramid and it's other appearances in Arcade and Sinner's Reward, namely the Butcher from Origins and both Bogeyman entities from Homecoming and Downpour, etc. Sure, many of these creature appearances can be chalked up to the creature design teams being lazy... But it's been a common occurrence even when Team Silent worked on the franchise.... I'd be lying though if I didn't say the monster design had definitely felt lacking, if the design team behind Origins or even Homecoming had come back to work on Downpours monsters, I feel that they'd been better received. And as for the technical side of Murphy fighting Anne's creatures: the game had originally been envisioned as a co-op multiplayer game, where Murphy and Anne would've worked together to escape Silent Hill... Obviously, the ambitious nature of this game for Vattra was killing them, and it'd been scrapped early on, opting for the scrapped DLC mentioned in the video.

I think the same. It's a great game, a pretty good Silent Hill, and it had awesome ideas (that were captured better in Evil Within 2)

Is a good game, but as Konami ordered VAtra on so much things, that much of the game they had literally to beg to be put on, that Matt for some reason didn't wanted to say. wasn't so that well executed

And more importantly relying on stereotypes of what they think Western fans are into. Often resulting in a worse project when they focus on that instead of telling a good story and making a fun and enjoyable game.

Back in the early 2000s Japanese game companies thought that they would sell more copies in the west by trying to copy common Western game mechanics, Western stereotypes and Western story cliches. But all it did was make things worse. These brands were already established so fans were then alienated and no one from outside the fanbase really even care about the game. We are left with fans that aren't going to want to play the game because it's different now and trying to go after a market that's not going to play it in the first place.
