Seriously? The only thing that really looks off about that is some of the animations are a bit clunky (the part where someone is trying to kick down a door looks like it has no impact whatsoever). As far as Korn songs go that is pretty accessible and is so far past their point of relevance that it isn't going to matter.

Only other real downside is that The Suffering kind of beat them to the punch on that kind of plot. Silent Hill might be able to explore it a bit more maturely of course, but it might lose a bit of its punch in the review circuit because of it.

Unrelated, aside from also being Konami shenanigans, Silent Hill Downpour's TGS Trailer.

I somehow expect Alex/Andrew rage.

The rage, I assume, being directed at the choice of using Korn as background music for the trailer?

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #502 on:** September 18, 2011, 05:03:39 PM »

I think the problem is more that it's just not a very good trailer. Too long, lacks any quality direction... the song is pretty decent, actually. Damn near good compared to everything else in the trailer.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #503 on:** September 18, 2011, 09:42:51 PM »

Moreso it's not a very good trailer for a silent hill game and looks like a generic action-horror game. Use of Korn thoroughly supports that conclusion.

As a complete outsider to the series...no, it didn't to me. There wasn't a single scene of blowing a zombie's head off with a shotgun. For the first 80% of the trailer, it felt to me like it might just be the main character going crazy and just imagining demons in his head.

Themes, and the return of games made by academia rather than made by for-profit companies. Particularly in a genre I enjoy.

Anyhow...

Answer questions (warning: a lot of questions), get told what you would be if you were a D&D character. Apparently I am a True Neutral Human Sorcerer...with the following stats:

Strength- 9
Dexterity- 12
Constitution- 11
Intelligence- 11
Wisdom- 9
Charisma- 9

That's right, a sorcerer that can't even cast spells due to negative charisma. So basically it's pretty accurate.

Apparently I was bored enough to answer 130 questions. Yay weekend.

Lawful Neutral Elf Wizard (within 1 point of Good, Human, and Half-Elf)

Yeah I dunno about that 12 str.
