Audible Impressions: Silent Hill Downpour
By 4Player Podcast on March 24th, 2012 (12 comments)
Nick and Bob reflect on their experiences with Silent Hill Downpour, the latest western-developed entry in the cult-franchise. They discuss the reasons why they feel the game is deserving of praise as well as the reasons that the game is not quite as noteworthy as it could be. Is the combat finally improved? Is it spooky? Does it feel like a Silent Hill game should? All of these questions are addressed without any story specific spoilers! Look for volume 2 in a couple weeks to hear our spoiler-filled discussion!

Oh my, a new game I actually own.. Can't wait to listen. Thanks guys! I'm also eager to hear the spoiler-filled one. I'm about 70% through the game myself, but I want to replay as I've missed several things, I know.. And for different endings.
Link / ReplyI've been waiting for this since you announced it yesterday on Twitter :)
Link / ReplyI remember the siren was in Homecoming also. I actually liked Homecoming despite what people say about it. The only real problem I had with it was the pyramid head appearance. I thought the combat wasn't really hard or frustrating and the story was a tad above decent for me. As for downpour, I really want to try this game out. The only thing I'm really hating is the enemy design. But the thing is the enemies shouldn't have been reused or even similar in any of the silent hill games. So I'm glad they're trying some new things but it was the other devs fault that I miss the old style :/
Link / ReplyBy the way all the remastering in the HD collection is optional as far as I know. I heard on Joystiq, or somewhere, that you don't have to add the updated voices or music (no idea why they even bothered redoing all of that).
Link / ReplyActually only the inclusion of original voices are in Silent Hill HD Collection, and only for Silent Hill 2. The HD collection is receiving alot of negative feedback from many fans of the series(me included :T). A good example is the lake part in Silent Hill 2. After finishing Silent Hill: Downpour I can honestly say that it is really good in my opinion despite its flaws. Definitely agree about the throwing weapon thing guys! More then once I threw my melee weapon by accident, and usually off a cliff or during a fight.
Link / ReplyIve been looking forward to this! Thanks!
Link / ReplyGood show guys! It's great to know that I'm not the only one in the world who actually liked Downpour. I love how disturbing the "combat tutorial" is; it's a great twist on a modern convention. Personally, I enjoy the HD Collection. They did change some stuff, but they did release a patch to fix some things.

Link / ReplyOh my bad. Didn't know you guys had it on another list. I thought all the audible impressions would be on the 4 player podcast list.
