The estrogen is reaching high tide in this thread.

It wasn't in reply to any of your posts, you can hush now.
Then start making sense, you didn't quote previous posts so that was directed at me.

I know that this article is sensationalist click-trap speculation. But I have the feeling it's the sort of speculation that would nonetheless get some of you squirming, and isn't that what you really want from a thread talking about raping classics?

[Kotaku] Is the new Silent Hill a First Person Shooter?I gotta say, though, it seems they've really started putting sensationalist titles on everything they can of late. Unless it's always been that way and I'm just getting crankier. But, among my usual address bar denizens, they're still the gaming news site with the most and quickest updates. Anyone know any alternative sites with a similar updates flow?

Well, all things considered this probably isn't the best place to suggest that a first person game can't be scary. You know, with system shock, stalker, and even those levels in thief.

Oh Christ. Really not sure what to say to this one.

Oooh-kay.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's a tacked on MP component where you can rank up and an unlock upgrades for weapons. Plank of wood can be customised with nails, another unlock makes those tetanus spreading rusty nails.
Getting a kill streak of 10 will let you become Pyramid Head for a short period of time.

Holy shit, dethtoll is speechless? Me too, really. Knowing the way franchises are raped these days, this has a hard road to climb.

I want a Silent Hill text adventure, personally. Until then, I'll just play Anchorhead. Or write my own uninspired, late in the day can't be arsed version.
Like so.
Dark Alley
Fog belches from out of the grainy darkness before you. Murky shapes seem to shamble at the edges of your vision, but disappear whenever your eyes try to focus on them. A horrific screeching is starting to issue from your radio.
>TURN RADIO OFF
Okay. But it's your funeral.
>TURN FLASHLIGHT ON
Your flashlight's tight cone of illumination does little to peel away the dark skeins of night before it.
>WIELD PLANK
You heft the 2x4 in your hands. The end with the nails in looks pretty frightening, crusted as it is with rust and what looks like dried blood.
>NORTH
You set forward resolutely into the dark.
You fall into a pit. Ouch.
After dusting yourself off and making sure nothing's broken, you check your surroundings. The pit's walls are sheer. Looks like there's no way up. But something else attracts your attention...
There's a hole here. Hrm.
> JUMP INTO HOLE
You fall. There's another one before you.
>AGAIN
And another.
>AGAIN
Right. Guess what's here?
>AGAIN
Concrete breaks your fall. And cracks your torchlight. There seems to be something scrawled on the wall.
>READ MESSAGE
"There was a hole here. It's gone now."
>THAT WAS ENLIGHTENING
It's a metaphor for things that you don't notice until they're gone.
>THANKS
Np.
>FORWARD
You bump your head on a wall and drop your torch, which promptly smashes into a hundred plastic shards.
>OH LET ME GUESS
It is dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Hahahahahahaha. I like it.

Thanks! I would've put some real effort into it, but I'm bone tired right now. I think I'll just go loll on the couch now and watch an undemanding movie featuring chakats.
Wait, scratch that. Only got one with some foxes and George Clooney doing a VO for one of them. Guess it'll have to do.
