  • "Side Quest ep 1. SILENT HILL 2"
    Mar 19 2023
    On the first official "Side Quest" episode Michael & Matthew talk about one of the GOATS of video game history SILENT HILL 2. (*SPOILERS*abound in this episode. If you have not played the game, go play it is widely accessible.) Considered one of the very best in the psychological horror genre the game has a remake coming out which looks promising. SILENT HILL 2 is known for its fog, atmosphere, terrifying sound design, iconic enemies (Pyramid Head), pacing and writing that were way above and beyond back in its initial 2001 release on PlayStation 2. They also discuss some of the game's influences like the novel Crime & Punishment, Jacob's Ladder and David Lynch films. The Lynch influence is most felt in the voice acting which is wonderfully "off" and cryptic. They also comment on the Last of Us TV show series finale (which was was 10/10), Black Summer on Netflix, Remakes more broadly and the other entries in the Silent Hill franchise including Silent Hill 3 and Silent Hill 4:The Room.
