Well, I think that answers that. Although it is a bit limited in its options and seems a bit arbitrary. I always envisioned a short vignette kind of scene where you interact with a few meaningful set pieces and the game would construct your profile based on that.

if you read my post above it explains the whole method.

An article in [N]Gamer said that if you have been unfaithful to your partner, the game would throw a bunch of sexy femmes at you because that's your weakness. I could only wonder, "what if you're attracted to men?"

...Then again, they were only theorycrafting, but it's still a potential flaw.

Well, yeah, it's a potential flaw, but I think that the majority of the people that are going to be playing it are going to be straight men. I don't think that there will be a lot of homosexuals and women playing it. But, yeah, good point.

Why would you think that? Every single die-hard Silent Hill fan I know is a woman.

And I think the option to have Harry Mason be a closet case (married but cheated on his wife with men) would be really, really interesting.

As interesting as the concept of feeling out your personality and constructing the most horrifying experience accordingly is, I can't help but wonder if a questionaire was indeed the best way to start it off.

Also, am I the only one severely disappointed by the new Otherworld? They drop the unpleasant blood-stained curtains, rusty gratings, fleshy tenrils, and pseudo-demonic beasts in the background doing all kinds of disturbing things for... ice?

Granted, Silent Hill 3 is the only game in the series I've played, I'm my interest in the series doesn't run particularly deep, but I can't help but raise my eyebrow to this "ice" decision.

Going back to the questionaire, though I can't help but find it an odd approach, at least it is something a bit different. I'd rather the game rely exclusively on examining player activity to conjure the best ways to scare the piss out of them (because that's a damn good idea and I commend the designers for approaching this game in such a way, though not to the extent I'd like), but being that this is the Wii, I suppose there's only so much you can do with the directing A.I. considering the Wii's technical restraints.

I look forward to seeing how this turns out.

I kind of like the ice thing. I'd like to see where the developers take it.

It alters some things at the beggining of the game based on those test results. If you answer one way, you end up at a diner. Another way, and you end up at a bar. After the test, it watches how you play and makes some smaller changes, like the message on the answering machine or the way a certain character looks. IGN has some gameplay videos if you want to check them out.

I wonder what else your personality changes in the game

 

[Logic 0]

Are you scared of dropping your soap in the shower?

If so your going to fight evil in a prison with soap.

I miss the old silent hill forum. Was on there every day from summer 2003 till it mysteriously died without warning. Good times.

Its true that well over half the fans of Silent Hill are female.

The psych test thing is what interests me more than anything else in this game. However I think they would have been better off not recycling the concept of the first game (to an extent) and had the whole thing in first person. If they really want to get in OUR heads they should have made the game about a random person that happens upon silent hill.

That way the story, the ending, and who (or what) you are will be totally mutable. It is an impossible to execute concept that would be no fun possibly, but meh.

I've always been 100% faithful to people that end up not deserving it, so I think I'll lie on the test to get what will probably be a more interesting change. I'm kinda a sex addict, so the game might end up as the first AO game on the wii ^_^

Doubtful

 

[A Weary Exile]

Not part of the series but I will buy it anyway because it interests me.

I have no problem with developers creating original stories using the Silent Hill backdrop.

It is when they attempt to pass these off as part of the series I have a problem (see Homecoming, Origins).

Luckily, these guys have not attempted to do that.

They could have just called it Shattered memories and made it it's own game because it resembles Silent Hill so little with the whole 'Winter Wonderland' theme.

Wow, didn't know that, sorry. But I think that they'll resolve the problem (if they even noticed it) until the final release.

I read a article in Nintendo Power about the game, and they said the demo they played the psyche profiles worked fine.


Q: Are you Lactose intolernt(sp?)

S: You come across a glass of milk. You drink it to refill health, and thn your character dies.

why is everyone ignoring the point I made?

The personality check does more than the questionare, how you act in the game affects it too.

 

[Lono Shrugged]

I'm won't be impressed until it asks some probing questions about my mother and halfway through the game a gigantic monster tries to reverse birth me by dragging me inside it's dilated vagina.

I mean unless the designers have not put that in already.....


I think it would be better if they applied these questions in an overall mean score answered by people living in insane asylums.

Now THAT I'd pay to play

I'm not missing your point, and if you read a bit more carefully, you'd realize that. I just think that the quiz would just not feel right, that it could feel somewhat silly.
