Survival horror would be vastly different.
We would not have Silent Hill, and my heart would break.

Another pleb filtered by high Lynchian kino, unfortunate but far from uncommon

Harry Mason is my favorite Silent Hill character.

That's the same gameplay of all the other classic Silent Hill, I always ignore the monsters and run past them when possible honestly, no need to fight them

It was a big seller though, you're looking at it from the perspective of modern sales standards. The industry was smaller in the late 90s, initially all a game needed to be given a "Greatest Hits" was 150,000 copies sold after a year, though it was later raised 250,000 copies. Silent Hill sold about two million copies, it was a big seller for 1999/2000 standards.

They're not the greatest models but I really don't see why people think the SH1 models are bad, I guess maybe up close they look a bit rough but that's most character models of that era. A lot of people really don't appreciate how much attention went into Harry's animation. At the start of the game in the neighborhoods you can walk up a few steps on a platform and fall off, Harry has a unique animation for walking forward and back off, running off, side stepping off, and jumping backwards off where he falls right on his ass. Literally no reason they needed to add them but they did.

I don't know why you replied for me but i agree, it finally feels like a Silent Hill game, probably the last one to be so.

Actually the objective of that title was to explain what happened before the events of every SH, thus introducing the cult and Alessa in the most direct way possible; the best part though is that this doesn't exclude the introspection factor, Travis is an important character and the focus is often on him, although in a veiled way. The Butcher himself is what is Pyramid Head for James, and it describes very well the inner nature of this new main character. If you don't like how the Otherworld works, that's debatable; me too i prefer how it was handled on the first three titles, but i also bet that it could've been a lot worse.

Nah, fuck Shattered Memories, that game was ass. The only thing i liked about it was Akira Yamaoka and the impact of your decisions towards the enemies faces, but that's something way too trivial if compared to the bigger scene: the gameplay itself is a monotonous, repetitive mess that is never fun, i wouldn't recommend it to no one... Funny thing, it even dares to "reimagine" the best chapter ever, like if a success so well received needed something like that.
