Silent Hill 2 Turns 20 Years Today

 

It's been two decades since Konami and Team Silent released one of the best survival horror entries in Silent Hill 2 - a sequel that enhances everything that its predecessor laid out by giving us a much more terrifying experience into the cursed town that the game derives its name from. Released on this day in 2001 for the Sony PlayStation 2, the game introduces us to widower James Sunderland - who is drawn into the mysterious town of Silent Hill due to a letter sent by his wife Mary... Who died three years prior to the events of the game. Exploring the town to find answers, he is instead drawn to the mystery of his surroundings - encountering people with their own problems as well as creatures that are demonic manifestations of a person's own dark nature.

The backstory of Silent Hill is a convoluted case - which is built on the notes and mysterious letters that center on a town that had a cult worshipping a demon and unleashing dark energies that have remained a part of it even after the events of the first game. Silent Hill 2 and the other sequels explore in great detail other aspects of the town and expand on its lore - as well as the poor unfortunate souls like James who are drawn to go there and their "skeletons in the closet" are brought to life because of the dark energies that still reside inside the haunted town. 

Gameplay of course is typical Survival Horror fare - you guide the character through a town and explore collecting items, solving puzzles, and defeating enemies to progress through the story. There are multiple endings for this entry as well - the most out of any installment, and one that is dependent on the choices you make and conditions you set about completing the game. It's this attention to detail and these design choices that among the great aspects of the games Team Silent made, and why this sequel is beloved by many fans to this day.

Happy 20th Anniversary, Silent Hill 2.

Oscar Isaac cast as Solid Snake in Jordan Vogt-Roberts' Metal Gear Solid movie

 

The internet has exploded and we get the fitting "!" sign in our heads, as Deadline has reported that "Star Wars" Sequel Trilogy and "Dune" star Oscar Isaac has been cast as Solid Snake in the upcoming live-action Metal Gear Solid movie to be directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts! The film is currently in development by Sony Pictures, and is based on the Tactical Espionage Action video game series of the same name created by Hideo Kojima that started in the original PlayStation way back in 1998.

Isaac is keeping pretty busy now that he's playing the legendary soldier who was a member of Foxhound. In addition to Snake, he was also recently tapped to play Moon Knight in the upcoming Marvel Studios TV Series for Disney +. This is definitely a good time for the Guatamelan-American actor!

No word yet on when Metal Gear Solid will be released, but we finally have a face behind Solid Snake!

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was released five years ago

Five years ago, one of the most anticipated games and what would ironically be the last collaboration between Konami and Hideo Kojima before the well documented controversy became public was released - as the long awaited "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain" hit stores and shelves internationally on September 1st, 2015 for the Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC. As a follow up to the stand alone prologue chapter that was "Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes", The Phantom Pain was the true full MGSV experience and the first open world game in the series - utilizing the proprietary FOX Engine and putting players in control of Punished "Venom" Snake.


METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN | E3 2015 Trailer [Long] (US)
Set primarily in 1984 and with the theme of vengeance at its core, Snake wakes up from a nine year coma and embarks in a journey of revenge and reestablishment following the loss of the Militaires Sans Frontieres. Reunited with Kazuhira Miller and joining forces with his old nemesis Ocelot, the man with the codename "Big Boss" leads a new mercenary army in "Diamond Dogs" - setting on missions in Afghanistan and the Angola--Zaire Border to track down those responsible for their misfortunes - the XOF, Cipher, and the mysterious Skull Face. Being an open world game, The Phantom Pain utilized familiar mechanics used in past MGS games but also allowed for near flawless movement in the environment - utilizing stealth and plotting your actions carefully to achieve goals and capturing enemies and bases in order to succeed in the mission.

Coincidentally, The Phantom Pain was released on September 2nd in Japan - the day Big Boss' mentor and mother figure was killed during the events of Operation: Snake Eater (MGS3)

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night drops on iOS and Android Devices!🦇📱

In what is certainly the perfect opportunity to capitalize on nostalgia and give fans new and old the perfect complimentary piece for the new season of the Netflix series premiering TOMORROW, Konami has released a mobile app port of the critically acclaimed “Castlevania: Symphony of the Night”!

Known as “Dracula X: Nocturne of the Moonlight” in Japan, this side-scrolling action adventure game was originally released in March 1997 in Japan for the Sony Playstation, before being translated and getting the North American release known to everyone, mankind ill or otherwise (a reference to the original dub haha). Unlike previous Castlevania titles, Symphony of the Night was a departure from the simple whip and go progressive adventures the Belmont clan were accustomed to. This time, the primary adventure put you in control of Dracula’s own son Alucard as he awakens from a centuries long slumber after the current wielder of the Vampire Killer whip, Richter Belmont, mysteriously disappears.

In a style dubbed as “Metroidvania” by fans, players guided Alucard in a non-linear, action RPG styled adventure, unlocking secrets, learning spells, acquiring different sets of weapons and equipment, and leveling up after battling and defeating monsters around the castle.

Produced by the legendary Koji Igarashi and going on to becoming one of the most beloved games in video game history, Symphony of the Night saw many ports and rereleases following its Playstation debut, including a redubbed version first released for the Playstation Portable as a hidden game in “Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles” and then that very version together with its predecessor “Castlevania: Rondo of Blood” was bundled as a digital release for the Playstation called “Castlevania: Requiem”.



You’ll be playing that very same PSP/ PS4 release for the iOS/ Android mobile devices, but with shortcuts and quick presses to make it easier if you don’t have a controller on hand.



Literally SOTN on the go and in time for Castlevania Netflix Season 3! This Mobile Edition of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night retails at $2.99! Add it to your collection if you love playing in your mobile devices and phones!

Metal Gear Rising 2 possibly teased by Sony at Taipei Game Show

It looks like Raiden may be making a comeback once more, with this tease possibly hinting a sequel to the Metal Gear spinoff game that finally had the new Cyborg Ninja at the lead and doing more slicing than stealth tactics!

Teased at this year's Taipei Game Show, this "Number 2" appeared during a sizzle real for upcoming Playstation 4 games. It's not so much a sure bet as it is probably just a deliberate use of the same font, but GameSpot and Bleeding Cool have reported the same otherwise that this could be Sony's way of teasing that Metal Gear Rising 2 may happen!

Take a glance at it via this YouTube link and judge for yourselves.


Metal Gear Rising 2 (PS4) - Taipei Game Show Teaser
Now, that was just a quick glance at a "2" that holds no official confirmation whatsoever that Platinum Games and Konami are delivering another "Cut What You Will" experience, but who wouldn't want another chance to take Raiden out for a spin to cut through his opponents like butter?!
