No quests, you just follow the plot. At the moment there is a bit of exploring to do as I'm in a scary town where I needed to find particular people and places.
I've always been a big fan of HP Lovecraft and used to play the Cthulhu RPG 20 years ago . The game is great so far. I was waiting to be turned off by half arsed controls and shonky graphics but its all really good so far, superb mood and superb detailed graphics, effects and locations. infact reminds me of halflife 2 so far
Yeah same here, especially with it being a budget title.
Anyway, played a bit more this evening. The health system is pure genius! If you take a couple of hits, either you've been clobbered with something heavy or you've been shot, you will begin to lose blood and if you don't treat the wounds sharpish it quickly affects your vision and movement. Also if you fall from a height you can break your legs (not a nice sound at all) which obviously affects your movement.
You also have to keep an eye on the sanity of your character. There was one particular section which sent the guy completely bonkers! His breathing became irratic and he kept thinking he was hearing things. It really puts you on edge.
The game has just been getting better and better and I've not even picked up a firearm!
just seen through the window! Also that moth that climbs the wall and flies round the candle and casts shadows is just beautifully animated in the poorhouse.Infact there has been loads of great little details in here. An Edge 4 wtf!!!
Not every critic is the same. Metacritic offers aggregated game reviews from the top critics, and our own METASCORE pinpoints at a glance how each game was reviewed.
One of those 'development hell' games. Apparently vital team members were assigned to different games at key points of development, which really screwed up the schedules. From what I hear the publisher saw it had a potentially decent game on its hands recently, and paid a group of lasting members to work overtime until the game was ready.
I just want to echo the comments on here so far - it got a good eurogamer review - I paid my 18 quid to Play on Thursday and it arrived today - the couple of hours i've played so far have been very compelling with excellent production values - hopefully this will at least enjoy some cult success...
it successfully expands upon the FPS element from silent hill 4 - and i'm a certified fan of SH1-3... (bit dissapointed with 4)
