They definitely had an affair, and she got pregnant from it. Whether it was consensual or romantic is left ambiguous. The husband forced her to get an abortion (the fetus in the sink)

As for the rape, I remember reading a really convincing analysis. I'll see if I can dig it up for you guys.

[ANIMAL MOTHER]

I think you're overthinking it.

the fetus wasn't aborted, she was pregnant with the manager's baby when he killed her

[Slim Charles]

it's too much of a effort to be scared of fiction

[Conely]

video games will probably never be scary in the way almost all survival horror games aim to be tbh. that's why silent hill 2 works so well because instead of directly frightening you it's just completely disgusting and in many ways difficult to process

[Tycholarfero]

I think she was really well done, regardless if she's scary or not.
I wish I'd were able to experience P.T., but watching analysis vids and the like surprisingly didn't kill my interest in it, i.e. Marszie's playthrough and analysis video.

By the way, Dexter as a Polish TV show from the 80s

I think when Masahiro Itō came to designing monsters he wanted to evoke more of a feeling of "What the fuck am I looking at" rather than "OH GOD I'M SPOOKED" and the more you find out about the story you find out why the monsters look like they do (in sh1 it's alessia's nightmares, in sh2 it's james being a weird guy)

[editline]5th March 2015[/editline]

R.I.P Team silent and proper Silent Hill, regardless of how 'scary' Del torro's and Kojima's 'Silent Hills' is it's quite clearly from what we've already seen not going to be in the same vein and atmosphere as the originals.

I mean SH1-4 had barely any jumpscares it was always slow boiling unsettling atmosphere. in P.T. if you die you get a jumpscare though I won't deny it's got a pretty good atmosphere.

[ANIMAL MOTHER]

The PT isn't connected to what the actual game is gonna be though. So I don't think you ought to feel let down already.

[Slim Charles]

Nobody has been able to recreate Team Silent's Silent hill, I don't expect Kojima and Del Torro will. It's not necessarily bad that it's something new, but then why didn't they just make a new IP?

[b]Dinero[/b]

From what we've seen of the designs of the monsters already they're worlds apart from Ito's creations much more in your face and less subtle.

What made old Silent Hill good? It was subtle.

[Conely]

the only consistent thing with the team silent games is that they're in a scary place that anthropomorphizes your fears and psychological problems. that's the point of the IP and why 4 wasn't just a separate one and also why Silent Hills isn't a separate one, it's not just about recurring names but also a recurring idea behind each game and its design. it's kind of like your Final Fantasy for example

[Slim Charles]

yes but you're forgetting one thing, all the silent hill's made by team silent the spooky going on's in them was caused by the occult (even in sh2 it just took a backseat.)

In silent hill 1 it's about the cult and alessa, in silent hill 2 the things the cult did cause silent hill to manifest and bring certain people to it, silent hill 3 is a actual sequel to 1 and silent hill 4 is about the cult manipulating this dude to become a huge weirdo.

also you're wrong, in silent hill 1 and 4 the monsters aren't representations of bits of the player character's characteristics & past, in one they're spooky monsters from alessa's nightmares, in SH4 it's just ghosts and monsters related to how Walter Sullivan killed people and him being batshit insane.

only silent hill 2 and 3 play that card really, it's a common misinterpretation. And I'm not even going to mention anything past 4 because in my eyes they aren't Silent Hill, Silent Hill died alongside Team Silent.

well you know what i mean don't you, i meant "your fears" in the general sense of them being based on SOMEONE's psychological issues. the monsters that don't mean anything are unambiguously the worst ones in the franchise (see downpour)

and the plot of Silent Hills is literally completely unknown right now so i really don't get the why you're saying there's no cult stuff, it strikes me as extremely premature for a game that literally has no known plot details to speak of other than being a silent hill game. it could be even more occultist than sh3 and we wouldn't know, plus given how few references the cult got in 2 Kojima could probably get away with just a couple minor notes. i just really don't understand why you're being so quick about this?

[ANIMAL MOTHER]

I bet you they're gonna make a child class for DarkRP with that.

[FlounderBox]

The cult stuff in all the Silent Hill games was stupid as hell. I hope that Silent Hills abandons that premise all together.

I feel the idea people have about silent hill being all about giving your fears legs and teeth is wrong, none of them really do that except 2, and even then it's not James fears, why do you think the lying figure looks like a person in a condom, not because james is afraid of condoms, because of james as a man with a terminally ill wife has sexual urges that his wife cannot fulfill, they were mostly symbolism of James's character flaws not his fears.

[editline]5th March 2015[/editline]

Silent hill traditionally, and I'm talking down to the roots of SH1, was about the occult, cult's, satanism etc.

The director for it loves cults, he went on to make Siren after all, and what's that all about crazy cults!

[Conely]

[QUOTE=TheGoodDoctorF;47264992]The cult stuff in all the Silent Hill games was stupid as hell. I hope that Silent Hills abandons that premise all together.[/QUOTE]

it was originally done with the finesse you would expect from team silent but it's worth mostly cutting it out just because it's become so unbearably dumb and cynically brand-essential, it's been incorporated into the same theme park attraction as Pyramid Head. when you're asked to make a Silent Hill game and you're creatively bankrupt you just reach in the box and take out the Halo of the Sun and a Pyramid Head action figure and you can just spend the rest of the development funds on pizza rolls

i would say that falls under traumas. dead wives are very traumatic

[Slim Charles]

Yeah but the monsters aren't what James fears, they're all like visual representations of his subconscious thoughts that could be considered 'bad'.

Also I'm not saying P.T./Silent Hills is a bad game cunt, I'm saying it's not going to be like the original silent hills because nothing is.

it was the brainchild of a collective group of people that no longer work alongside eachother.

[editline]5th March 2015[/editline]

what I'm saying is I think konami should axe the Silent Hill IP but god knows that's not going to happen gotta get that fangirl and fanboy cash.

men can't get raped right???
[/QUOTE]

My girlfriend holds that belief. She thinks "Rape = penetration"

Anyway, I'm playing SH2 right now and it is so much different than nowadays's horror games. There's only one or two jumpscares in the whole game and the constant contrast between creepy ambience and loud silence constantly unsettles you. I'm in love with it. Wish I played it sooner

[Slim Charles]

but if it's a woman raping a man it's still penetration.
