What improvments do you think they could have made?

The original? No way the Remake was ALOT scarrier.

the original re was the scariest. it was very creepy and i when i was younger i always had to have my big brother in the room when i was playing thats how afraid i was. if a zombie bite me i would freak and turn the tv off and then it would take hours for me to build up the courage to play it again. but i was only like 6 or 7 for gods sake

Exactly, I think the old REs are scarier to us because we were a lot younger then. Many of us were around 10 or so. As for Jamesy, the worship room wasn't scary at all...just a bit difficult. I never found myself being scared at all...tension doesn't equal fear.

aye i know but back in the day it was the scariest game about. i only played the remake for the first time last week and its amazing but for me not as scary as the original was

Yep, the original is scarier because I was younger when I played it and scared more easily. Now, none of them are scary.

yeah i know back in the day i thought that there was never going to be a game better than the original but i played it last month for the first time in about ten years and its not scary anymore and the acting is absouletly horrible

I played the original residnet evil in 2003 when I was 13 and that game by no strech of the imagination is scary.

but if you played it when you were about 6 or 7 you probsbly would have shit yourself

Doubt it

what the hell i never typed in that crap what the hell

Well actually I played Silent Hill 2 without getting scared so don't excuse me of being a wuss. I just don't like the sound of thunder. I am sure there are things that scare you in games KnightCrawler. I am a genuine guy who's honest about my strenghts and weaknesses when it comes to games unlike you crawler. What I find funny is that you excuse of being a fanboy to characters such as Albert Wesker and William Birkin. Well certianly its peoples like you who give a bad word to the name 'fan'.

You make no sense. I just told my girlfriend that you get scared by storms in games and even she was speechless. You may be honest about your strengths and weaknesses, but all I've heard from you are weaknesses...And saying I give "fan" a bad name means nothing if you have no support behind it.

Jamesy Jamesy you need to understand that RE and Silent Hill are two very different styles of games so they cannot be compared or forced into a debate. Have you played Silent Hill 5....without any doubt one of the best they have done and also Silent Hill 1...you mention 2 but that's because 2 would have come out when you were old enough to play it and SH 1 has yet to have it's remake released...now SH1 was true psychological horror.

RE4 i have to say didn't scare me at all.....not one bit and why...because i was way too busy being totally pissed off with that usless moo Ashely to even have time to worry about what was around the next corner. RE5 has a different take on the horror and for me with my flukey version there is nothing worse then being faced with lots of enemies...no ammo and a bunch of Reapers that just don't die...in fact if i lent you my version of RE5 i could guarantee it would panic you...not necesserly scare you...but it will panic you.

ive only played silent hill 1 which was scary as fuck back in the day

Yeah I agree about Ashley the useless broad could not even use a knife.

As far as I am concerned Silent nd Resident Evil are similar, except Resident Evil is more worthwile. I first played Silent Hill 2 when I was only 14 it did not scare me in the slighest. And whats ironic is that it is by far the best game in the franchise.

Riot I have completed RE5 numerous times even proffesional mode and never felt that panicked just pissed at how hard some parts were.

And please NightCrawler change the record, the sound of thunder on a video game can be scary if you turn up the volume on your TV.

I agree that Silent Hill 2 was great. I've only watched it be played, but many people don't even understand it which is a pity.

I'll let my girlfriend answer this one...She says, "Yeah, if you're 3..."

Hell no Jamesy mate you need to play SH 1.....that's where it all began...that was the true horror....or just wait for the Wii version to be released.

SH and RE are only similar in a sense of being horror. RE was more survival horror...SH was more psychological horror, SH relied more on drawing you into things that never happened whereas RE drew you in and then shoved a great hunk of a zombie in ya face. The musics are also very different as well as they playing style...in RE you fight to survive...in SH you fight to keep your sanity....SH also introduced the aspect of an alternate world and a normal world whereas in RE you play in just one created world. Weapons also vastly differed...in RE it is the standard guns, kinves, rocket launchers etc whereas in SH items in your surrounding could be used to effect....so as you can see they are both very different indeed.

However yes Ashely was a useless moo and i never did understand why she couldn't use even a knife or stick up for herself....see shes making me stressed already lol.

nitekrawler is your girlfriend hot

Ashley had her moments, but I felt a connection when she was hiding on my back and I shoot a ganado and she does a motion with her arm....

Silent Hill 1 coming out for the Wii, I will have to purchase it. Even though I am now a bit fan of the Silent Hill games.

Yep SH 1 is being remade for the Wii...it appears that Konami are getting on the back of the bull with remakes too although this one is looking hellishly promising...especially with the addition of a psychological test after each chapter to see how you are coping.......because this remake is going to be an 18 although some are specualting that it may go to far and get itself banned just like Manhunt did all those years ago.......in fact SH5 is banned in several countries already lol.

I find it ironic that Ashley was soooooo super useless until she got to the part where you control her and there was about a kazillion oil lamps around and she killed ganados with one damn hit with them. After that, the lamps magically disappeared. I guess Salazar caught on...

lulz, of course. I don't like uggos.

I played both Manhunts, the first one was pretty great, gorey, but great. The sequel wasn't too good, it had it's moments, but I didn't care too much for it...

i must be the only one on these forums who didnt find ashley that bad. i hated her and all and wish she wasnt in the game but she didnt ruin the game for me. i hated sheva more.altough she could use guns iis just that im my game she is so stupid and many times i was about to put my fist through the screen
