Why did they put Angela instead of Maria on the cover?
should been ur mom instead
It's a still from one of the fmv movies. Probably no spooky looking Maria ones.
>>10879921>i was ''Le Raped'' and now am depressed and suicidal: the charactershe is a prototype for all the shitty characters you see in the ''psychological'' indie games
>>10880208True
>>10879921Why did they put Laura on the PAL cover?
>>10879921And why do nips prefer abstract covers?
>>10881407such a shitty low effort cover
>>10879921The OST had Maria on the cover but I think it would give a weird impression about what this game is about.So the answer I believe is that they wanted to have a cover that looks interesting that didn't reveal too much about the game (as in, not show the most important characters).It's kinda neat to have a side character on the cover, it's different to what most other games do.
One thing that always bugged me is how in the FMV that plays if you let the game sit in the start menu (or does it play every time you start the game? I forgot.) there is a short clip of James carrying presumably Mary in the prison, which doesn't happen in game. I always thought maybe there is a super hidden ending but there isn't. And they used a screenshot of that clip for the US manual even, although it is a bit hard to see he's carrying someone.So is it an ending that was scrapped last minute?I am amazed I never heard anything about it in all the interviews and videos about SH that I watched.
>>10881432I think they did this because it looked cool. If I remember correctly there's also a short clip of red pyramid thing dragging a lying figure away in the apartment but it doesn't show anywhere in the actual game
>>10881432>>10881463There are a few shots in the opening movie that don't appear in the game. Other than the ones you guys listed, there's also a shot of Angela running through a house and Laura sitting by a van off the top of my head.
>>10881421What did you expect from EU covers?
>>10881483I forgot about those.I wish we knew what things they had planned but scrapped last minute because of time constraints (presumably).
>>10881483I don't remember about Angela running through a house so I'll definitely have to take a look (or maybe I just forgot about it).>>10881539I read a rumor about how we were supposed to get a new scenario/game playing as Angela as some sort of Director's Cut but the project was eventually canned. I don't remember if we got Maria's scenario as a replacement for Angela's or those two scenarios were supposed to be entirely different things. Is that an actual rumor or did I imagine the entire thing?
>>10881421Every single Silent Hill cover is shitty, somehow the JP ones are the worst. If anything I think the PAL SH2 cover is the least shitty, albeit still quite shitty.
Enjoy, OP
>>10881558In my opinion all of the SH1 covers are good except for the original JP one. Pic related, however, is my favorite
>>10881595Another SH cover that I like is the JP SH4 one. It just screams early-mid 2000s horror, really makes me nostalgic for various Asian films and their shitty US remakes
>>10881635Would have been fine without Jared Leto and a bunch a stock photo textures sets to 50% opacity overlay but Konami have no fucking clue what they're doing
>>10881646and somehow they managed to make the US cover even worse
>>10881690>chains around door are transparent>chains on door are solid>perspective is completely fucked>red door = scary doorSuch vision
>>10881483The first game also has unused shots in the opening sequence, like Dahlia running away in a temple. They could be red herrings or scrapped scenes.
>>10881501lol
>>10881880Right looks like an artistic painting.
>>10881501SH3 PAL cover looks better than NTSC
>>10881635Despite the fact that it looks it was made by someone who was learning how to use Photoshop, I like it.Same with the E3 trailer, it looks cheap, but I love ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrU_NabHp-c&t=160s
>>10882407>artistic painting.As opposed to what?
>>10882729An Autistic painting.
>>10882437I had a slip cover version that was exclusive to virgin stores in the eu. Looked good.
>>10880208>and homicidalYou missed one>>10881414Hated these fucking red squares. You'd think a country that's world-famous for causing kids to glitch out from bright flashing in their anime would know better than to make a nighttime-oriented horror game that includes save points in the form of silent flashbangs.>>10881582That's Mary, she's just dressed like Maria here.
>>10879921All this time I thought that was James. I haven't played in a long while but I recall Angela was a direct foil for james, This could also be based on the shot where you walk in on her contemplating a knife, which would fit the suicidal overtones >>10881407Laura is thematically important and the main the main theme is named after her
>>10881421for a shitty low effort game
>>10883332(You)
>>10879921I kinda wonder how James's or Angela's lives would have been if either of them just decided to run away instead of committing murder. Like... what if James just called an ambulance and then just drove away from his house, with Mary still being alive in there. Or if Angela just ran away from her family instead of killing them. Well... both of those have the potential to end badly for them if you think about it. James could end up being charged with criminal negligence or something for just simply leaving his terminally ill wife (though that's still miles better than being charged with murder, so he has little excuse overall). Angela would have risked her family finding her and making her life even worse. She has much more reason for what she did, really.
