Wich "otherworld transformation" do you like the most?

You know, for someone who has so much insight on Silent Hill, it's pretty sad that you misspelled Alessa. XD

You broke Randomwab? Cool.

When the debirs settle I say we go see who else we can make self destruct.

I personally like the first Otherworld, since it was essentially a physical manfiestation of the shattered physche of a tortured woman and that's a powerful thing to visualize. Especially Nowhere at the end.

I'm going with SH1 overall as well myself, although SH3 has my fav transformation ever in it.

The one where you go into the room with the camera facing the mirror, and the mirror world gets taken over and Heather, and then eventually it crawls through the mirror and if you stay in the room after that it begins slowly killing you. It's really awesome.

[Darkmoon]

That was excellent, especially when I found the door was locked and started crying. It took me a while and a couple of healing items to work out how to get out again.

See, it's because of things like that, that I think Silent Hill 3 is by far the scariest Silent Hill game, even above 1.

Toss up between SH1 and SH3. Silent Hill 1 had overall the best "Otherworld" in the series that was so unique in design that it made the game all the more scarier. The environment scared the shit out of me alot more than the enemies ever did. Rusted, bloodied mesh with nothing but darkness behind them, disembered bodies randomly strewn and so on.

SH3's other world was like this, only far more detailed and elaborate, and dare I say "alive". What with the pulsating walls and such. The final section of the game serves as a great testament to atmosphere.

I just had a revelation about the SH2 Otherworld that makes me think it's the best even more. We were talking about how the architecture could be part of James' imagination, right? Well...

The prison/labyrinth/graveyard/freezer can't exist, at least not with the rules of reality. To prove my point:
You go into the historical society and down the staircase into the prison. You go through to the labyrinth, the graveyard, the freezer in James' grave (which makes no sense in itself). James is thought to be hundreds of feet underground now. Yet when you exit the freezer after the events that take place (won't spoil), you're maybe a story down at the historical society's back door. From hundreds of feet in two giant areas to the back door of a building the size of a normal house? That only strengthens the fact.

Btw, did anyone else realize that it changes from Dark Silent Hill (not Otherworld) to Foggy Silent Hill? When you enter it's dark, and when you exit it's foggy.

[Biohazard EX]

You just realized all that now? Well, I guess I had more time.

I've only played Silent Hill 2 but I've seen the movie and if I had to say, I liked the movie's a little more. You could feel that something horrible was happening in it, while in SH2 you just exited a room(?) and everything was dark. Don't get me wrong, though, I loved SH2's otherworld. Like Canas said, everything seems to change to subtly punish James for what he did and that was awesome. It's just that SHM has that sense of panic from seeing everything breakdown.

[Biohazard EX]

Yeah, but it wasn't just darker. There was this weird drapery over the doors. Everything looked very different. Just not mesh different.
See, the way I see it is, in SH1/3, the dark world looks like something out of hell. Something that's been burned, rusting the metal. Etc.
With SH2, it's the other way around, it's like the whole place has been drenched in water to the point where the wood started to rot and things start falling apart.

My favorite SH Otherworld would be my own version, truth be told:

The most unforgiving, gritty, disturbing, tormenting, horrific, dark, moody, intimidating, yet beautiful place I would name "Gehenna". Gehenna is a place from the holy bible. Not a nice place at all.

[Biohazard EX]

But... It wasn't in any Silent Hill game either... So It's technically not an SH otherworld.

[Twist]

Thats because it's my own version, heh.

But as for real SH Otherworlds, I'd go with which ever was the most horrfic/gritty.

[Canas Renvall]

I had a dream about SH that I keep forgetting to tell everyone about. XD That Otherworld transformation was really sweet. So Heather and I go down this ladder to a concrete hall and all of a sudden the ceiling starts melting. As it drips to the floor, where the droplets hit you can see the Otherworld. The walls started melting away into the Otherworld too... It took about a minute, but then the Otherworld had completely revealed itself.

Scared the pants off me.

[Gradon]

If I had Silent Hill dreams, it'd turn into nightmares.
Oh wait...Ive had some before, I just cant remember right now.
They were all about 1 though, I always remember watching my older brother play it when I was 6....
