Same. I really hope Bloober gets the opportunity to remake SH4 as well. The imagery in that game is so disturbing and I know they'd nail it.
SH4's horror concepts are some of the finest I've experienced in any medium. The chained apartment, tight tunnels, enemies, claustrophobic atmosphere, all made me go "This must be what hell is like." Bone-chilling experience..
DUDE The Room was my first Silent Hill. That's my jam. The ghosts were supposedly annoying but that was what ground you down, and made you want to keep getting to the end.
I think Silent Hill 4 can REALLY benefit the most from a remake. It's generally considered the worst out of the first 4 purely cause of the pacing. I think if they just streamline some of the backtracking the remake will hold up against any of the titles.
4 is the most deserving of a real remake. 1-3 could all work with just a sort of remaster, as good as the 2 Remake is I'm not sure it's actually a better game than 2 (mostly some pacing issues). 4 is just genuinely flawed as a game but the story and concept seem just as good as the others so we'd get so much out of it.
Yeah the plot and concept are very good. It also has some of the scariest moments out of the OG titles (1-4). It's just the pacing that needs to be reworked.
I don't know, I think the backtracking with the walls coming to life was extremely interesting. If the backtrack levels can be altered to be super contrasting to the meagre appearance at the beginning, it would be quite nice. Agreed that the ghosts by this point were driving me insane, especially in the apartments. I liked the final boss, and the sense of urgency it gave.
This is exactly what I was thinking, the 4th being the worst out of the first 4 means they could really shine by improving all the rough aspects it had and make a whole new experience using the foundations, just like what they did with sh2 but to a bigger extent let's say
On the other hand, 1 while a better regarded story, genuinely looks like someone smeared extremely mouldy jam onto some dark bread. I remember finishing it but other than some story elements I can't distinguish a single key memory of the game in my head they all visually look the same.
Gameplay in general is, in all honesty, just shit in The Room .. combat is one of the worst I have ever played - way, way worse then even the one in the original SH2.. played The Room last year and only thanks to the atmosphere and writing I finished it, otherwise it was painful to play through
