Start your review of Silent Hill Omnibus, Volume 2. Mar 14, S. Lindberg rated it really liked it Shelves: reviewed-by-secomics-and-graphic-novelsweird-fiction. Then it got abruptly cancelled. Here's my review of Omnibus 1 The Silent Hill Omnibus omnibus 2 comprises 3 more installments of the comic adaptions for the Silent Hill game franchise from Konami. The art in this one Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2 more clear and understandable, yet remaining "weird"; in a good way. Expect cameos from your favorite creatures; characters always being drawn into a ghost town to confront their past. The last two Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2 provide some extension of background story for the Postman and Anne featured in the game Downpour. The comics will not replace what-could-have-been the experience promised in Silent Hills plural, the gamebut they are a worthy part of the "Hill"; Recommended for Hill fans. SH is one of my all-time favorites, I'm a hardcore fan of the original quartet in particular. They're more like in-depth interactive artwork than games, more like Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2 experience. People just don't make things like that much anymore, sadly. It's nice to see some of the comics finally Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2 it justice. It would be better if you were familiar with the series' nature already, I think, bu Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2 is one of my all-time favorites, I'm a hardcore fan of the original quartet in particular. It would be better if you were familiar with Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2 series' nature already, I think, but I believe these would make sense if you weren't, though to a lesser degree. I would have preferred it if they had just made comics based on the original, but the spin-off stories are still pleasant to read, and are worth getting for the art, particularly in Past Life. Holy crap, that art is quality stuff. The art in Anne's Story reminds me somewhat of the Sandman series. Sinner's Reward is alright - the drawing style is really unusual - it looks photorealistic. It fits the mood well. I thought the "mystery" in S. Aug 31, Joey rated it liked it. Pretty spooky. Although all storylines were different, they were Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2 written by the same author and have similar underlying themes related in some way to the functioning of Silent Hill in our collective psyche. Three different artists kept the book varied, and menton3 kills the western dark art. Nov 18, Carly Nicholas rated it it was amazing Shelves: books-i-own. It is one of the best survival horror videogames series ever made. This graphic novels is similar to the volume 1 ominbus which is a collection of short stories or a graphic of a series of comic books in one book I read all of it today, it was good but I was a bit disappointed yet again by the lack of use of the creatures from silent hill, the mythology or well known characters in the series of videogames. I would rather read an graphic novel adaptation of the videogames since Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2 aren't already novelizations of thr first three games that have been published, so it would be nice if they were republished in English, since I would like to read them! I don't really like the way the omnibuses are put together, they both contain random stories that are connected to Silent Hill directly, which is annoying. Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2 would have ednjoyed reading the omnibuses more if, the nurses, pyramid head or the other lesser known creatures were in the graphic novel, it would have made it more entertaining to read, since they Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2 only in one or two of the stories. I did however lie the last story since it was based on the videogame Silent Hill: Downpour which is a good game, somed of the plot was different but I liked reading this story. Pyramid head, thenurses and some type of zombie dog similar to the zombie dogs from resident evil were in the first story, but if they were in the graphic novel more often then, I would have liked this, it's annoying that this series and resident evil aren't scary anymore, it's just bland and mediorcre. The second story was okay, but I don't understand how the stories or characters in either omnibus volumes 1 or 2 are connected, so I find it annoying that there are not any reoccuring characters that I like or know about, that would have made it more interesting. Even though it's disappointing to read, I guess people should appreciate that there even is an omnibus graphic novel of Silent Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2 graphic novels after the viderogame franchise getting butchered and now cancelled after the Silent Hill playable teaser P. It would be nice to see a graphic novel based on the videogame franchise sometime in the future, because it is really creepy, a lot is not really explained well or at all in the viderogames, so more detail could be added in a series of novelizations or graphic novels. This is obviously a must have instant buy type of item if you are a huge fan of Silent Hill like me, but don't expect to see pyramid head Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2 the nurses on every other Silent Hill Omnibus: Volume 2, because you will not be satisfied unfortunately. May 16, Tim rated it liked it. Pretty meh. The first two, Sinner's Reward and Past Life were pretty much the same story. I did like Anne's Story, as it cleared up a bit of Downpour.

  • PT, Freud, and Psychological Horror
    Press Start Silent Halls Silent Halls: P.T., Freud, and Psychological Horror Anna Maria Kalinowski York University, Toronto Abstract “What is a ghost?” “An emotion, a terrible moment condemned to repeat itself over and over…” —The Devil’s Backbone (Del Toro, 2001) This paper analyses P.T. (Kojima Productions, 2014), a playable teaser made to demo a planned instalment within the Silent Hill franchise. While the game is now indefinitely cancelled, P.T. has cemented itself not only as a full gaming experience, but also as a juggernaut in the genre of psychological horror. Drawing from Sigmund Freud’s concept of the uncanny, the aim of the paper is to address how these psychological concepts surface within the now infamous never-ending hallway of P.T. and create a deeply psychologically horrifying experience. Keywords psychological horror; the uncanny; Freud; game design; Press Start 2019 | Volume 5 | Issue 1 ISSN: 2055-8198 URL: http://press-start.gla.ac.uk Press Start is an open access student journal that publishes the best undergraduate and postgraduate research, essays and dissertations from across the multidisciplinary subject of game studies.

Kalinowski Silent Halls Introduction The genre of psychological horror is a complex one to navigate through with ease, especially for those that are faint of heart. Despite its contemporary popularity, when the sub-genre first began to emerge within horror films, it was considered to be a detriment to the horror genre (Jancovich, 2010, p. 47). The term ‘psychological’ was often used to disguise the taming of horror elements instead of pushing the genre into more terrifying territories.

  • P.T Game Pc Download Punity
    p.t game pc download Punity. Punity is the Windows adaptation of the brilliant game P.T., the Silent Hills technical demo by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro that so thoroughly amazed and terrified players on Playstation 4. In this tribute to the Konami classic, players walk through the legendary terrifying hallway. The game system in Punity is very similar to the original P.T. Players can walk up and down the sinister hallway and take in all the details. The sounds, bumps, and strange movements you'll start noticing are what make this game amazing. The game has very similar graphics to the technical demo mentioned earlier. Most surprisingly, it uses the versatile motor Unity, so if you have a powerful operating system and can set the graphics at the highest settings, you'll be able to enjoy this spectacular terror even more. Silent Hills' P.T. teaser is now playable on PC thanks to fan remakes. P.T. was the playable teaser for Silent Hills—the reboot of the Silent Hill series that was cancelled in 2015—and even though it was short it still ranks among the best horror games of all time (and certainly one of the scariest). It never made it to PC, but thanks to a couple of fan remakes you can now give it a whirl on your mouse and keyboard. The first remake is called Corridors, and is a recreation of the game in Unreal Engine 4. It's still very much a work in progress (expect bugs), and creator SmoggyChips plans to update it with more levels in the future.

The purpose of this research is to adapt the approaches used by prominent and influential writers and artists in the American superhero/action comic-book field to create an engaging Australian hero comic book. Further, the aim of this thesis is to bridge the gap between the lack of academic writing on the professional practice of the Australian comic industry. In order to achieve this, I explored and learned the methods these prominent and professional US writers and artists use. Compared to the American industry, the creating of comic books in Australia has rarely been documented, particularly in a formal capacity or from a contemporary perspective. The process I used was to navigate through the research and studio practice from the perspective of a solo artist with an interest to learn, and to develop into an artist with a firmer understanding of not only the medium being engaged, but the context in which the medium is being created.

  • Restless Dreams and Shattered Memories: Psychoanalysis and Silent Hill
    B R U M A L Revista de Investigación sobre lo Fantástico DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5565/rev/brumal.182 Research Journal on the Fantastic Vol. III, n.° 1 (primavera/spring 2015), pp. 161-182, ISSN: 2014–7910 RESTLESS DREAMS AND SHATTERED MEMORIES: PSYCHOANALYSIS AND SILENT HILL Ewan Kirkland University of Brighton [email protected] Recibido: 25-01-2015 Aceptado: 18-05-2015 Abstract This paper applies psychoanalytic frameworks to the survival horror franchise Silent Hill, a series which is itself informed by psychoanalytic themes. Concerns include the construction of game space as maternal womb, cinematic sequences as primal fanta- sies, and the representation of memory across the games within a psychoanalytic con- text. The horror genres’ preoccupation with monstrous mother figures is evident in boss battle adversaries, the depiction of gamespaces as bloody «maternal caves», and in narratives concerning characters’ searching for their parental origins Distinguishing between videogames’ playable sequences and cinematics as conscious and sub-con- scious aspects, cut-scenes are analysed as reproducing primal fantasies, serving to ex- plain protagonists’ backstory and situating play within narrative contexts. Such mo- ments intrude into the game, marking transformations between the ordinary world and the abject Otherworld, or heralding the emergence of psychoanalytically-resonant monstrous creatures which the protagonist must destroy. Finally, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is examined as a game which, even more than others, foregrounds the series’ explicit reference to psychoanalytic preoccupations, engaging with contemporary un- derstandings concerning the relationship between memory, media and fantasy. Keywords: Silent Hill, survival horror, psychoanalysis, videogames, memory. Resumen En el presente artículo se aplica el marco de estudio psicoanalítico a la serie de survival horror Silent Hill, ella misma basada en temas psicoanalíticos.

    Building and Reconstructing Character. A Case Study of Silent Hill 3 Petri Lankoski Hypermedia Laboratory FIN-33014 University of Tampere +358 3 3351 7883 [email protected] ABSTRACT Characters are in an important role in many games. A good player character is likely to leave good lasting impression about the game. It has been argued that creating the personality for a player character is problematic. However, there are multiple methods used in games to inform a player about the nature of a player character: predefined functions, goals, possible and impossible actions, and more traditional audiovisual means. In this paper the player character of Silent Hill 3 is analyzed using presented categorization. This paper shows that the classification is a useful analytic tool, but it needs to be developed further to include belongings and space as elements describing a player character. The categorization also highlights aspects that need to be addressed when designing player characters. Keywords Game characters, interpretation, computer games INTRODUCTION Characters have an important role in games (when a game has characters). For example, game designer Steve Meretzky [13] argues that a good player character is the most likely feature in a game to make a positive impression on the player. Games use multiple methods to affect how a player character is experienced, traditional audiovisual and game-specific. In this paper, I will provide an analysis on how the player character in Silent Hill 3 (Konami 2003) is built. I will use the character classification I have earlier presented in [11]. This shows how a character is influenced by the goals and sub goals, possible and impossible actions, prede­ fined functions present in a game.

The side of the paper shown as the “colored side” will be the color of the helmet. The “white” side of the paper will be used for the body and clothing. The shape of the helmet and clothing are based on the movie and/or Silent Hill: Homecoming versions of the character. Begin with the paper white side up. 1 2 3 Step 1 – 3: crease the paper as shown, and then fold the top tip down to the center. Fold the sides down behind. 4 5 6 7 Step 4 – 7: lift the colored tip outwards and fold the model in half. Asymmetrical squash fold and fold the new flap down. Asymmetrical squash fold again at a different angle to the previous fold. 8 9 10 11 12 Step 8 – 12: fold and unfold to make a guide crease, then fold the tip of the top flap to the crease made in step 8. Fold the edge over again to the same crease, then fold back along the crease itself. Fold the upper flap down. This flap will become the arm. 13 14 15 Step 13 – 15: repeat steps 8 – 12 on the other side of the model. Spread squash the flap going from the tip of the arm up to the top left corner of the model. With most paper, this spread squash should not go all the way up to the top left corner (to avoid strain that could split the paper unexpectedly at later steps), but may be better left going only close to the corner.

  • One Neoliberalism, Many Resistances by Dennis R. Redmond
    Copyright 2012 Dennis R. Redmond VIDEOGAME CULTURE AS TRANSNATIONAL MEDIA: ONE NEOLIBERALISM, MANY RESISTANCES BY DENNIS R. REDMOND DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Angharad Valdivia, Chair Professor Isabel Molina Professor Antoinette Burton Professor Paula Treichler, Emeritus ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes two best-selling videogames, Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid 4 (2008) and Square Enix' Final Fantasy 12 (2006), as sites of contestation between commercial media corporations on the one hand, and communities of artists, consumers and non-commercial digital users on the other. I argue that Metal Gear Solid 4 rewrites the stealth espionage thriller into a critique of neoliberalism's financial speculations and neocolonial wars, while Final Fantasy 12 rewrites the fantasy role-playing videogame into a critique of the colonial and neocolonial legacies of fantasy and role-playing fiction. Using the tools of critical communications theory, postcolonial media studies, and digital media scholarship, I argue that these videogames narrate the struggle between neoliberalism (i.e. the ideology of late 20 th century market fundamentalism which exerted global hegemony during the thirty years from 1975 to 2005) and a wide range of anti-neoliberal social movements, developmental states (especially those of the BRIC nations, i.e. Brazil, Russia, India and China), and non-commercial networks of digital production, distribution and consumption. I also argue that these videogames frame the politics of transnational media production and transnational audience reception in productive ways.

  • Silent Hill - Restless Dreams”
    Case study: Emotional Design of the Videogame “Silent Hill - Restless Dreams” Dr. Doris C. Rusch (Institute for Design and Assessment of Technology, University of Technology Vienna, Austria) A brief history Before I plunge head first into this case study, I would like to clarify the background to this paper: When I stumbeld over Ed Tan’s work on “Film as an Emotion Engine” (Tan 1996), I found his psychological approach highly promising for the analysis of digital games and decided to try it on a game that has been on my mind and Play Station for a long time: Silent Hill – Restless Dreams. In the beginning, my intention was solely to finally understand, why this game had such an impact on me, why I played it not once, but several times and did not stop thinking about it, even when I had long put the controller down. Why did it stick to me in a way only good books or films had done before? And why did this game manage to couple rules and fiction in a way that is still very rare in current computer games? And so I sat down to study the case. The result was never intended for a stand-alone publication. But I showed it to some colleagues and they seemed to find some valuable insights in it and when my friend Pilar Lacasa suggested that I should submit it for our MIT5 panel, I did. Introduction Categorized by its game-play, SH2 is a single player adventure game that includes exploring, collecting and examining objects, as well as some fighting and puzzle solving.
