Despite having melee options that you can get through most of the games, the series is known for having plentiful ammo. I'm wondering: why?

I don't know if it's a wider audience thing, or if it's just a fail safe. The most efficient way to dispatch a foe is to down it, then kick it to prevent it from getting up. This however, counts as a "killed by fighting" rather than "killed by shooting". Have you ever tried to actually down enemies with only gunfire? You waste a lot of ammo. So players learn the more efficient method. but the game's ammo is balanced around using only firearms.
>>
>>11340130
>You waste a lot of ammo.
You can't "waste" ammo in SH3 as the game has a dynamic ammo system that gives you more ammo if you use it up. Saving up ammo is detrimental in SH3.
>>
Konami wanted to compete with Capcom in the survival horror genre, so their design philosophy on Silent Hill was to make the opposite of Resident Evil:

RE has pre-rendered backgrounds so SH is full 3D
RE uses static lighting so SH has dynamic
RE takes place on one estate so SH is an entire town
RE is gothic/scifi horror so SH is psychological
RE has anime characters so SH has real life ones
RE has limited inventory so SH has unlimited
RE has no melee so SH is melee heavy
RE is tight with resources so SH gives you plenty
the list goes on…
>>
>>11340130
>the series is known for having plentiful ammo
No.
>>
>>11340514
Yes. I typically have 100+ pistol ammo at the end of these games.
>>
I was watching a buddy play this and he somehow ended up at the church with almost no ammo and zero health items.

It's possible to struggle with resources, all of you just play more conservatively.
>>
>>11340214
That's only in a couple spawns that are possible to miss. This isn't RE4 dynamic drops like you make it sound.
>>
>>11341206
This is very common for SH3, especially playing on Hard difficulty. I’ve done it myself, and I’ve seen multiple people end up in that same spot. The fact of the matter is there’s barely any ammo pickups post-Hospital to the end of the game.

OP is full of shit and probably played on Normal difficulty at the hardest, and/or explored every nook and cranny for items ,in which case yeah, of fucking course you’re gonna end up with plenty resources

SH1 and 2 seems to have had more plentiful ammo, but still casual players on Hard mode are gonna have to conserve. SH4 was NOT plentiful on ammo and also had limited inventory.
>>
>>11340428
Interesting theorum, if I do pontificate myself.
>>
>>11341206
I've seen people say they ran out of resources in 4. By the end of the game I had far more supplies than I ever even used throughout the game.
>>
>>11341968
For 1-2 there is so many resources on the city streets that people gloss over. I have only beaten sh3 once, but I would imagine the situation is the same for palevale. So players zip around from one dungeon to the next, and skip over the hidden ammo which bites them in the ass for hard mode.
>>
>>11341995
The first half of SH3 IS just zipping from one dungeon to the other. The only outdoor sections are before the office and after the office, half a road each.
>>
>>11342035
Yeah, but halfway you get to Paleville which has ammo all over. Hard mode makes bosses tanky so you need to actually scrounge for ammo in these modes.

I have replayed 2 countless times do I know you visit paleville twice, which resets ammo. I double checked maps, and both outdoor areas are laden with ammo. I can’t find sh3 outdoor maps and can’t confirm how much ammo is there or if it resets.
>>
>>11340130
imagine how ridiculous they'd make her look in a remake
>>
>>11340130
Silent Hill is like a twisted purgatory, whatever entity or entities are controlling it are manifesting the ammo themselves, or perhaps even the ammo is a manifestation of the player character's willingness to survive. As long as you search for it, some appears. It surely doesn't make sense why there are boxes of ammo everywhere therefore you can safely assume it's part of the manifestation.

Just as well, if the game was melee only it would be pretty drab, and the characters are regular people like you or me, so you need to give them some edge against the horrors they fight.
>>
>>11340428
>Konami wanted to compete with Capcom in the survival horror genre
Then why did they shitcan Team Silent and outsourced the series to Western studios?
>>
>>11340130
>the series is known for having plentiful ammo
Considering that melee wasn't really a reliable option in SH1, I'd say there isn't enough ammo. SH2 gives you just enough to get by imo. More if you manage to do the side quests/optional puzzles.

If you're down on bullets but doing good on health items, you have to resort to using melee weapons. If you are running low on health items, then you avoid getting hit by shooting at enemies from a distance. That's how the resource management aspect of the game works for me at least.
>>
>>11343540
>melee wasn't really a reliable option in SH1
Did you even play the game? You get a Donkey Kong hammer in the hospital the fucking obliterates everything in your path.

>>
>>11343525
Because the games flat out didn't sell.
>>
>>11343540
Melee is plenty viable in SH1. The steel pipe is a tremendous upgrade over the knife, and the game may as well roll the credits by the time you pick up the Hammer - nearly every enemy outside of bosses won't be able to lay a finger on you.
>>
>>11340214
Huh, thats interesting. Just done replaying it and thought it got pretty stingy with ammo and health pick ups at the end, to the point i killed God with only a few handgun shots left, but i guess i was just not playing efficiently.

>>11343715
>>11343959
Post a webm of you BTFOing dogs, hobos, and pterodactyls with the hammer that takes 5 hours to swing NOW. Talk is cheap.

I forgot all about this when I made my original post but SH2 has the insane neck snap which lets you kill enemies after 2-3 shots on normal difficulty, so I'm forced to agree with OP. SH1 has this too but it only works with a handful of enemies and it takes more to knock them down.
>>
>>11343876
The original trilogy sold well for the market at the time wtf

The only one I beat was SH2 on Normal, and by the time I got to the final boss I had tons of healing items and ammo. I think I may have focused too much on the "survival" element of survival horror and been increadibly conservative with resources.

Meleeing on hard takes awhile as well. I’ll have to count again through an earlier save but the schoolkids took at least five steelpipe hits to take down, and that “melee hit” has a small window.

I am digging more into hard mode. I believe the people who whined sh2 was easy only played normal and normal is gimped to be easy. Final boss and pyramid head fights both have a whopping 20k health on hard. Enemies seem more aggressive.

Also, you bump into walls more and the pipe has a new attack and the row boats need both sticks? It seems they used hard for ideas they weren’t certain if but wanted to try out.

My hard run led to me burn all my ammo on the pyramid head fights.

I'm starting to feel the same. I was someone who not only ran around on 'normal' wailing on everything in SH2 but also with "2D controls".
>Also, you bump into walls more and the pipe has a new attack and the row boats need both sticks? It seems they used hard for ideas they weren’t certain if but wanted to try out.
The last week or so was the first time I heard about these differences in difficulty. A big one for melee: On beginner and easy, you can attack without having to be in the "ready" melee stance.

Hard mode in 2 turns enemies into damage sponges, so you have to counter this by scouring levels for ammo.

Yeah, there's a lot of subtle changes that most fan wikis and gamefaqs have not documented but these old guides did. Like there it says that melee weapons on Hard are much easier to make contact with walls and bounce off.

Also you can guard? I thought that was a feature that SH3 added! I think I randomly guarded and didn't put much thought into it.

My take is that hard mode is them putting in features that are experimental and they feared might alienate players. It has a lot of subtle mechanics people ignore.
>>
>>11340130
Compared to the rest of the series, SH3 is really stingy with bullets. During my last playthrough of the series, I remember not getting much ammo from the hospital up until the Alessa fight.

So enemies have Stamina and Endurance. Stamina is their HP, Endurance is how much damage they take before falling to the ground.

There's also "revival" rate depending on action level. Is this referring to respawn rate?
>>
>>11344224
>MGS sells, SH doesn't
One million sales IS really good for that era. You have to remember devs didn't waste a trillion shekels on mo-cap or realistic visuals back then.
And if Konami had stuck with it, they would've been able to fill a very profitable niche once Capcom had shifted away towards more action-oriented RE games. Word of mouth about the old SH games (SH2 in particular) has spread to the point where there's millions of zoomers today who've seen extensive JewTube video essays on the matter

For two decades now they refused to actually capitalize on the series' legacy and instead tried to turn it into something it's not. They still refuse actually because the remake is ass
>>
>>11344602
>One million sales IS really good for that era.
No it wasn't. MGS did something like 7 million. Resident Evil 1 sold around 5m on Playstation alone. Even smaller horror games like Parasite Eve and Dino Crisis were doing 2-3x that amount. SH3 and 4 couldn't even clear the paltry 400k to get a Greatest Hits release.
>>
>>11344614
You could still profit from games that sold a million copies. You'll never be able to convince me that Konami didn't take a huge risk on Kojima's gay ass
>There was no budget issues at all - in fact the producer specifically comments that Konami gives them an unlimited budget with no questions asked.
And that was for Metal Gear Solid 2 by the way. Konami finally decided they've spent enough after investing like $150 million into MGSV
>>11344541
>There's also "revival" rate depending on action level. Is this referring to respawn rate?
That's enemies coming back to life after you've finished them. You'll see it happening a lot after clearing crowds in the hospital

>>11340130
So what I’m seeing in this thread is when I finally play these games I should use as much ammo as possible. Despite seeing and loving the movie and the constant discourse online I really have managed to avoid pretty much all story spoilers. I’ll be honest, I haven’t played them because I don’t like emulating games I haven’t played on real hardware when it comes to major titles. It’s a quirk I have. Anyway, these games look amazing. Outside of 1-3 and the room, is downpour or any of the other retro titles any good? Or was it just 1-3 and then some people enjoying 4?

Just play right now in order. 1-3 are essentials. 4 is uh... experimental and half the team left so it shows. A lot of the main talent went to make Siren, which had 2 games on the PS2 and are sadly stuck there.

Play on Normal which is your standard experience. Hard is actually hard. 2-4 have PC versions but SH1 is stuck on the PS1. There is a slow decomp project in the works. Ammo is pretty plentiful and flows like water and there's no item limit.

RE7 had a similar gimmick because they copied it from PT. Countless recent horror games, including recent Silent Hill suicide game, have copied it. Blooper team was ripping it off years before they got to remake SH2.

I dont give a shit about PT, never played it, didnt like it or Kojima for SH and dont really like Kojima in general. Youre still retarded.

It was a huge critical success that influenced tons of horror games over the years. That free SH game about suicide and sakura flowers clearly apes a lot of it, and the people who made the remake of 2 started off ripping off PT just like tons of other horror game makers before moving on to rip off Resident Evil remakes.
>>
>>11345040
>RE7 had a similar gimmick because they copied it from PT
RE7 was in development before PT. I'm pretty sure both Kojima and Capcom were inspired by the Amnesia games that were popular at the time.

PT was trash and had nothing to do with Silent Hill
and it was unoriginal slop copying the horror walking simulators without fighting back (which were trendy back then) such as Amnesia and Outlast
and if Kojima alone being responsible for Silent Hills was not enough to tell it was going to such then having the face of that faggot actor all over it was a bigger proog
also RE capitalized on that PT and Silent Hills drama with making RE7 a first person pseudo-walking simulator slop and it fucking sucked far worse than RE5 (the worst RE game since Code Veronica) so i have no doubt Silent Hills might have ended being worse than fucking Homecoming

we dodged a bullet when Kojima was fired, sadly it only lasted for 8 years and now Konami went back to raping Silent Hill with their nex projects
>>
>>11345045
>I dont give a shit about PT, never played it, didnt like it or Kojima

>>
>>11345059
Development for RE7 began in 2014 the year PT came out, they even hired people from PT/Silent Hills to work on it. They both were copying the Amnesia stuff though. SIlent Hills wasn't even going to first person supposedly, they just did that for the teaser.

I don't think you'd have to throw much out at that point, especially not with both using the first person view as it was the style at the time. Hard to play 7 and even certain parts of 8 and no see the PT influence there almost as much as stuff like Outlast or Amnesia.

>Konami shills putting all the blame in one developer for destroying a franchise that he never made a game of.
SH had been fucked since when they fired Team Silent. Their last game Downpour before PT was full of glitches because of how they rushed developers. And PT had been the scariest game the franchise ever got since SH4 and it was only a demo.
>>11345103
>It's not Konami's fault

Konami is the one who owns the franchises. Konami who hired Kojima and other retards that ruined their franchises. If Kojima is a hack that is mainly Konami's fault because they hired him.
>>11345103

Developers don't own franchises. Stop using a developer as a escape goat for retarded company decisions. Konami killed their franchises because they planed to focus on making mobile games and pachinko machines.

He left because he didn't want spend his life making cheap mobile games and remakes. His walking simulator sold more copies than their MGS3 remake. Konami is struggling to make money by recycling old games ever since he left.

SH2 also had nothing to do with the original story and turned out great. PT wasn't like Team Silent's SH but still brought a better horror experience compared to all the other western developed SH games.
>PT was a walking simulator like Amnesia and Outlast
PT wasn't about open world exploration, was about remaining in the same place and finding something new every time you look again because the game was a small demo but still had many easter eggs and secrets that would take days to uncover , it wasn't about walking but finding things in one place.

>rape of Silent Hill?
PT was never a rape like the remakes from Konami that we see now. PT presented something new to the franchise, that somehow Konami couldn't pull off without Kojima, otherwise they would have continued the project without him, but that company haven't been able to succeed without their hack ever since.

I'm not sure about the other games but SH3 has a system where when you enter a new area, the game checks your inventory and some of the ammo and healing items only spawn if you have a less than a certain amount
Pic related is from the official guide (other pages have maps showing where and what those "conditional supplies" are)
Basically sometimes it can be advantageous to waste some some ammo or healing items before entering a new area
>>
>>11354365
That's a new system for SH3 and it's unique for that.
>>
>>11354365
>Brady guides
Real reliable
>>
>>11354660
Plenty of people have discussed the dynamic difficulty in several different threads. It absolutely is a thing in SH3
I can't guarantee the numbers in the guide are exact but the mechanic is still real
>>
>>11354373
That system is almost the same as cheating.

Will silent hill 1 ever come down in price? Horror and jrpgs are expensive but fighting games are cheap (got soul edge for $10)
>>

>Horror and jrpgs are expensive
Because few people buy and then get too attached to it.

J-horror series with a lot of clout and limited print runs? Collector's items.
>>
>>11356009
I still own my SH3 copy that I got 20 years ago. I payed as low as 3$ because it was pirated with a cheap printed cover and is probably rotten by now. I remember playing flawlessly with fast loading times back in the day.

>>11340130
I beat all 3 of the good SH games and never used melee. People need to git gud. The ammo is ABUNDANT in this game and you shouldn't be fighting enemies outside.
>>
>>11357606
If you use only guns then first person is the best way to play >>11354058

>>11351629
Its not a bad thing, but it shouldnt be considered a basic playthrough. Completionist exploration will result in many more resources than the norm, and the norm is what you should judge difficulty by ie. a basic playthrough.

>>11355352
Do you see any other expensive retro games come DOWN in price? No, it won’t go down in price until the people that grew up with PS1/PS2 start to die off.

>>11356009
Some fag probably took that picture to show the oUtRaGeOuS prices, but didn’t realize he could flip that SH3 and make $100 for free
>>
I always thought you pronounced "Heather" like "Ether" but with an H sound.
>>
>>11358841
That's funny cause that's how you'd pronounce "Heathcliff"
>>
>>11340130
not silent hill in retro gaming! the game isn't even 30
>>
>>11358841
H has no sound in my language. In english the sound of H would equal the sound of double R as in churros.
>>
>>11359315
Old enough to get a remake. It's a new retro. You're getting old.
>>
>>11359897
That's pretty interesting, anon. Which language? A Central Asian one?
>>
>>11361862
Both spanish and portuguese apply that rule, and even french seems almost similar. The letter "h" used in "hero" when in spanish or portuguese has no sound as is not there, don't even know why they add "h" in their words. If they would have to wright "Heather" in order to make the same sound in english they would go as "réter" because "r" makes the "h" sound in their language. The translation from the word "laugh" in portuguese would go as "rir" and sound exactly like the word "here" in english.

>SH games over 100$
>FPS games less than 10$
Unpopular games are the most expensive because less people bought them, not because people like it.
>>

>Will silent hill 1 ever come down in price?
Just pirate it yourself, burn on DVD, print the cover, it will be brand new and a lot cheaper.

Come again?

>>11341974
I'm playing 4 right now and it seems like you don't wanna waste your ammo when you can get hit and go back and use the pipe. Maybe this changes but it seems pretty fool proof.
>>
>>11344995
Not him but he's right. SH4 has got some great stuff but it's got some of the worst stuff in the entire series. The 2nd half of the game that's a terrible escort mission? The lack of interesting characters? The amount of stuff that is funnier then scary? Don't get me wrong, the game is probably still worth playing for the prison alone, but jesus christ shut the fuck up
>>
>>11364381
fuck off poser you all keep parroting the same reddit talking points
>Le second half if Le bad!
no it's better than the first half, not my problem you were filtered by an actually challenge in a horror game, this isn't a walk in the park showering you with ammo and health potions like in Reddit Hill 2
>The lack of interesting characters
Walter alone was more interesting than anyone in Reddit Hill 2 (the raped bitch, bullied fatso, ugly loli.... all of them arre shit)
>The amount of stuff that is funnier then scary?
the fuck you talking about? every cutscene in Reddit Hill 2 was cringe-comedy with that terrible voice acting and shit like James shoving his full arm into the toilet or the pizza scene
>>
>>11363940
I did pirate it, but its annoying to load tony hax
>>
>>11340130
I legit almost ran out of ammo on the final boss of 3 when I replayed it this last month. Shadow Heather took almost all of my resources and I didn't find shit in the church. Probably my fault for not exploring the amusement park well enough.

Silent Hill 2 made this anon cry and he is coping.
>>
>>11344043
Shithead panchiko execs wanted to ape the market not compete head to head. They wanted it to blow up like Castlevania did not merely be on par with the rest.
>>
>>11366159
reddit hates SH4chan, youtubers brainwashed them to skip it that's why redditors like >>11344959 always say the ''SH trilogy'' leaving out 4 something a real SH veteran would never do
>>11366497
yeah it made me cry because of how bad it was lol
byt seriously the only thing in Reddit Hill 2 that almost made me tear up was the letter reading at the end however because it dragged for longer then it should i just became bored and thinking ''when will this bitch finish already''
the endings in the other ''superior'' games were much better
