Didn't expect LOG to get such high scores.

Good job Konami... I am so looking forward to SH4.

33?...I was hoping Silent Hill 4 would get a higer rating.

You should be happy with that, SH has never really been popular in Famitsu. They've always been a RE favored mag (REOutbreak got a 36 from them for example).

What did the previous Silent Hill games get in Famitsu?

BTW.. good scores.

Don't forget BioHazard's 39/40 and BioHazard Zero's 38/40... both games got the scores they deserved.

They basically all get gold awards. I'm not sure about SH,, but SH3 got a 9, 8, 8, 8 and SH2 got a 9, 8, 8, 9. Which is low for the best survival horror game to date. Although it's much more respectable than PSM's absurd ranting about how SH2's plot made no sense.

Feel curious about how if the final engine used in SH4...From the screens it seemed worse than the SH3 one...Well, I think Maskrider will confirm this to us soon.

LoG's scores are very surprising to me. I had it pegged as a minor update of Seta's N64 golf title.

I agree. From what I've seen of Silent Hill 4, it just doesn't look as impressive as part 3. Either way I'm getting the game, as SH is probably my favorite series of all time.

Even the nicest pile of shit's still just a pile of shit.

From some movies (QuickTime MP4, needs QT 6.5) posted to silenthillforum.co.uk (320x240 only) of the E3 demo (the guy - df0 - has it), it is pretty neat.

Thanks to df0 for posting the movies, the thread is here

Not long now, just about a week and I will be playing SH4.

The Silent Hill 4 engine is the Silent Hill 3 engine with some modifications, which was the Silent Hill 2 engine with modifications. Silent Hill 4 is running off an old engine, but it still looks great.

Actually I thought SH3 and SH4 were developed in parallel by two different teams, and both used the SH2 engine as a starting point?

After looking at the movies in the link maskrider posted I don't see how anyone could say the game doesn't look atleast as good as SH3. It actually seems to be better due to the texture quality that's bumped up a bit. The animation also seems to be a bit smoother now. I only watched 2 movies though (the first prison one and the first one from the forest). I don't want to find any spoilers.

Just downloaded the first movie...I guess they weren't kidding about the peeping aspect of the game.
