I noticed a lot of cool things watching the HD version I didn’t before 🙂

The neat!
1) The monsters are pretty creepy. It looks like Murphy DIDN’T shoot the other inmate. From what I can see it looks like the female monster mauled and bit him. He was way too bloody from a single gunshot.

2) When the little girl jumps into frame there’s also a little boy in the doorway. The man she pushes is wearing jeans and a green button down shirt and not a prison coverall so it could be a flashback. Maybe the boy and girl are related to Murphy in some way. His kids…his siblings…random ghosts from that apartment? Their clothing did look dated next to the man in jeans.

3) The man on the TV seems to be black

4) Murphy is in a prison cell when the world shifts to the other world. I really like how the other world becomes like a vortex/blackhole and sucks all the stuff away.

5) Overall the world had a lot more color. Everything looked pretty gray and washed out before but I can a much more detailed Silent Hill now. If anything it really reminds me of the Blue Creek Apartments area of Silent Hill 2. The brief glimpses of fog look really good in my opinion. This could be the most “realistic” version of the town yet. Nice rain effects as well!

6) Great voice acting from the little we hear. I also like the music!

Not So great

1) Murphy looks pretty blah and plasticy…especially his hair. I’m really hoping he gets more detail on his character model.

2) Some animation does look stiff but I’m sure it will improve!

Overall I’m pretty DAMN excited 🙂 What about you guys?

My screencaps!

    There is a Youtube video with even better quality, check it out on the SHMemories site: http://www.silenthillmemories.net/

    It’s actually the same video.

  3. Basically, the town has seen the biggest change/improvement. And generally it looks good. It has many new elements regarding SH but I think many copies when considering other games. What I don’t like is that it looks like there’s too much exterior gameplay, the character models that lack detail, the music which I find fair and the Otherworld shift (kind of). And I like what all the fan theories imply about the story. 🙂

    P.S. The monster at 3:30 looks like a giant Rawshock…

  4. The environmental effects are also good.
