Why did the movie adaptations turn out so bad?
>>219283423Because these games are plagiarized Hollywood films like Jacobs ladder
>>219283423nobody played themSilent Hill are some old cult horror games still stuck on the PS2, most current "fans" have never played any of them (no, that gay remake doesn't count)
>>219283423Because games work as games, not movies. Any game that prioritises story is a shit game.
>>219283423I've played silent Hill 1 like a hundred times and never understood (or care about) what was happening plotwise during my teenage years. I've later searched the plot and i was actually amazed how retarded i was (i have alzheimers now and i don't remember the plot) that's your average silent hill gamer
i lked the first movie, havent seen the others. it was about what i expected from hollywood, if not a little better. decent enough.
>>219283423They didn't? Solent Hill movies are good
>>219283423They fundamentally fucked up the first one by de-personing Harry because the director didn't think a father would look for his daughter like that.

Movie people hate how videogames took the spotlight and try to sabotage all adaptations as revenge
SH3 could've been a little better. You can tell it had a shorter development time than 1 and 2
>>2192841873 is the worst of the team silent games
>>2192842962 is just fart huffing pseudo intellectual shit with no real substance or connection to 1 or 3.
>>219284330trying too hard
because hollywood kikes think they can do better
>>219283735to be fair, sh1's plot is a weird mosaic of ideas that feels like it was pieced together over a vague framework by writers who were only minimally communicating with one another (this is one reason it is uniquely excellent)
>trying to condense hours of lonesome walking around in nightmarish environemnts, filled with unnerving creatures and noises into a 90 minute movieI don't think it was ever going to work, the first half of Phantoms (1998), one of silent hill's inspirations, kind of works
>>219284330And it's the best one.
>>219283735japanese plots are THE dumbest fiction
>>219284451The one thing the first one does best is visual style. I played it as a a kid and got stuck on the piano puzzle, but even back then I could appreciate it. And even if you replay it today it holds up on that basis alone.
>>219283423Because the only video game movie that accurately uses the source material is Postal. The sh2 extra disc is wild btw. They built a theme park in Europe for it
Because if they were to make the games into movies, they'd just be plagiarismBecause the games were literally made by retarded japs copying american movies
>>219284478This. I could see it work as a, memes aside, slow-burn A24 type film or maybe a 10 episodes series, but they never get video game adaptations right and especially not for something that requires nuance like SH.
>>219286994>a 10 episodes seriesthis would probably be the best solution
>>219283735I played SH2 as a teenager and spent hours reading plot analysis on it. I've played all the first four as well as some of the other ones like Shattered Memories and Homecoming, and they're fine, but the second one is a notch above the rest.
>>219287168SH3 is better
>>219287179Graphically yes, but story wise the second one is better. I prefer it overall. 3 is good but doesn't have as much depth and attention to detail as the 2nd one.
>>219287270SH2 ruined Silent Hill with "muh personal trauma", so fuck it
