Mechanically 4 was a mess but narrative wise it is amazing. Think about how Silent Hill torments Henry. Everyone who gets killed comes back aa ghosts who can go through doors even locked ones... the town is literally telling him let us kill you and you can be free. That is twisted even for Silent Hill
I just took it as Henry is a bit of an asocial shut it. Pining for human connection but unable and unwilling to put in the work. I played this game when I was 16 and started to call my friends more often to keep my social life more active

For me, the thing about the Japanese Silent-Hill games was that the real-world locations always seemed so life-like. They actually felt like places where someone might live or work. Rooms were furnished in ways that felt believeable. Objects were placed around the world in a way that felt believeable. Everything seemed to be the right scale. Texture-work was amazing. I don't know why, but in SH 1-4 you actually felt like you entered the worlds you visited in. For some reason the western sequels have been unable to recapture this. They all look and feel like video games by comparison.
I agree. And while personally I thought the stories in Silent Hill 1 and 3 were really dumb, they were also bizarre enough to add to the sense of being trapped in a nightmare. Meanwhile the stories of games like Homecoming and Downpour are also dumb, but not in a surreal creepy way, more of a bad Hollywood movie sort of way. And I actually liked Downpour, and I think it came the closest to recapturing the vibe of Silent Hill, but the story was both bad and forgettable.
@@sean8102 It would've been perfect if Konami would've hire the team behind the mod, letting them develop an enhanced edition mod for silent hill 3, and release both games on gog and steam. But who am I kidding? It's Konami we're talking about.
Literally the only Silent Hill game I ever played and one that had me getting up for sunshine breaks every hour. I barely remember if I won. I think I did but the villain got in and took a nap on the couch while moaning "mommy" so that didn't FEEL like a win for me.
Silent Hill 4 has multiple endings based on how well you do in the last level. You have to do this thing in a ritual circle (I forget what exactly) and keep your escort girl from taking too much damage. I used her as canon fodder to distract enemies so she killed herself.
Walter Sullivan is probably the most interesting villain in the whole Silent Hill series imo. I actually started empathizing with this guy learning more about him...
Actually the whole game felt less like a typical Silent Hill psychological horror and more of a "detective story through hell" And I loved it for that. It's great in its own way.
Silent Hill's human antagonists have never been great imo, but I never actually played this one. I have it, but I haven't gotten around to it yet- been playing 1, 2 and finished 3 a short while ago. I always found the town the best antagonist, the nightmare itself as the villian, but I like me a good human villain every now and again.
PopTartNeko I think that Walter isn't an antagonist as much as he is the actual protagonist of the story. Henry is just the fake protagonist through whom you discover the details behind the events. Everything revolves around Walter, while Henry barely has any story in the whole game.
CopyZer0 Walter is not a protagonist by any means. Yes, he did not deserve anything that's happened to him, and that's exactly why he becomes a serial killer. Henry is more or less the player, the observer, receiver of wisdom = the protagonist.
CopyZer0 Walter is most definitely the antagonist. The protagonist of the story isn't necessarily the one around whom the story is centered. Take, for example, Bram Stoker's Dracula. Dracula is one of the most infamous examples of an antagonist: evil through and through, manipulative, charming, scheming, etc. Yet the story revolves around him. Yes, there are heroes who rise up against him, such as Jonathan Harker and Abraham van Helsing, but they are not the focus of the story. Just because Dracula is the focus of the story does NOT make him the protagonist. In the original novel, the role of the protagonist is pretty much evenly split up among Harker, Van Helsing, Dr. Seward, etc.
"a hole in the wall, leading to a series to bizarre nightmare worlds where he keeps witnessing people get murdered who then turn up dead in real life" That sounds a lot like Persona 4 plot

I want to like SH4 since it is probably the scariest game I've ever played but between the limited inventory, invincible enemies, and overly long level design makes the game such a chore to play through. _The Room_ really is the definition of a flawed masterpiece.
I realized that I typed he he he not tee he he after the fact but hoped that no one would notice. Thank you oh representative of TH-cam commenters for showing me the error of my ways.
Stonechewer I really was just teasing, which is why I misspelled loser, so you could shut the smug smarminess down. But then again, there are so many jerks who can't grammar but still correct others it's kind of impossible to tell. Thankfully, you've fixed the blasphemy (:
Ian Rocco I've been EA free since ME3 and I've never stopped playing videogames, nor I've ever ran out of GOOD videogames to play. EA may win, but not thanks to me, that I can assure you.
SH4 was one of my favourites, and the scariest for me. The sense of entrapment and the actual survival horror aspect of unkillable ghosts made it a difficult and scary game. And all I have to say after that is - Eileen's head. Nightmares.
Splappy boom blappy? Well, let’s see if Yahtzee commits to this monstrosity of a joke for the whole video... no way, he’d never do th... my god, he’s doing it... ugh
I'm so impressed by this review honestly! You get exactly how I feel! So many people bash it but you've just perfectly explained why it deserves a bit more than that.
Anyone remember the room in the hospital where if you walk forward the camera switches to a creepy massive head of eileen? Man that shit was freaky for my mind
"Spunk Gargle WeeWee" will never be topped by "Splappy Boom Blappy" Unless Konami releases a Silent Hill game with a first-person shooter section and even clunkier controls for $60
aah, i remember when sh4 came out, most players didn't like it, and then at every new western entry in the series, people started to love it more and more lmao
when the last jedi came out, people only focused on its flaws, which there are of course, but when the last jedi came, jesus christ episode 7 just became a masterpiece.
Every time I saw a review of this game they always shat on it and declared it the worst SH game ever so I just assumed that was the general feeling toward it
I honestly thought this game was fantastic when I played it, in fact (heresy alert) I personally enjoyed it more than Silent Hill 2. Sure it had rough edges but it has the best premise and creeping horror design in the whole series. Ironically this is the one game that really would benefit from a really well thought out remaster. Someone find the genius who did REmake and beg him to give SH4 the same treatment...
I tend to not give much thought to what an old classic would look like remade, even imperfect games, but SH4 is such a perfect case of missteps concealing the brilliance underneath that I can't not imagine it: monster sound design that's as unsettling as the level sound design, monster visual design that's uniformly creepy (instead of only the ghosts and baby faces), fidelity that allows way more propwork and thus even more contrast between the mundane room and the bizarre nightmare worlds, character microexpressions that would let the cast stay quiet and off-putting but instill more connection, a second half that takes advantage of repetition by innovating the level design and updating the visuals, and of course refined combat and escort AI. Goddamn does it suck that this game will never get its due (I know this is a very old comment, but we're deep in coronavirus quarantine now and something about being trapped in my urban apartment watching the world outside has me thinking about SH4, hmmmmmm no idea why)
You do not "use" a Yahtzee love pillow, you make sweet sweet love to it so it can criticize you later. And you don't stop cuddling it to watch a ZP episode, you do them both, at the same time
It's a small Comfort to know that it doesn't matter how much Eileen gets damaged because you can completely undo all the harm done to her right before the end of the game.
Spencer Trumbore Get to the part just before Eileen runs off after you pick up the umbilical cord. Position Henry and Eileen as close to the umbilical cord as possible but don't pick it up. Put down a candle and wait till it's just about to burn out. Just before it burns out pick up the umbilical cord. You'll know you've done it right if Eileen isn't yelling at you during the cutscene. I've had to do it every time I've played the game and it always works. Keep in mind I haven't played the game in years and I might be a little bit fuzzy on the details so you might want to look it up online to be sure. I know it works though.
WarLord Era Try Saving right before you do it so you can keep going back to it if it doesn't work. I also looked it up right after I posted that comment and I saw someone on TH-cam placing several candles around Eileen and it healed her pretty much completely. I've never tried it myself as a matter of fact it's the first time I've ever seen it done that way.
On my first playthrough I thought she was invincible. Then near the end I was like "Hey there's a lot of veiny shit on her that wasn't there before... oh." It kinda worked, though, because getting the worst ending is also a challenge. You have to navigate around all the possessed crap in your apartment, some of which are containers you interact with, and never clean anything.
Brandon Powell SEVERAL CANDLES?? I had a hard enough time saving the one for Eileen! But I'll try again one of these days, it's kinda frustrating for two playthroughs to end that miserably. 😁
SH4 is officially on PC on GOG now. I’ve been playing it these last couple of days and its a great port. You can even use any game controller you have with a bit of tweaking.
My biggest problem with Silent Hill 4 was it had the perfect idea for its gameplay flow and all the writers had a stroke. You take Eileen to the room, this is the point where the game starts to be an escort slog. They were so close to realizing ... you should have just brought her through the hole to the room. The endings depend on the the amount of hauntings, and Eileen's level of corruption. Guess what? Could've kept Eileen in The Room, no escorting, and you would've just had to heal both Eileen and The Room when you return, perhaps she gravitates toward hauntings you ignore and comment on them? Just about the only loss is the strange writing in Forest World. Well... maybe Henry can write it down for her with a notepad item? *CALLBACK* It would've been so easy to fix SH4 if the developers thought just a bit more.
Was that a positive review to a game a lot of people seem to dislike? Yahtzeey my love! Praise be to you! I've always loved the SH series and I look forward to when Konami loses the rights to it in some back alley bar. The series would be so much better in literally anyone else's hands.
Well to be fair, it's hard to be worse in any way imaginable to abandoning the series in almost all possible ways and making Pachinko machines out of it.
Silent Hill could have dominated so much in this current era of gaming. Silent Hills alone changed a lot of facets in gaming with a short demo and it's unimaginable to think what that game could have done in its completed state. This could have easily put Konami back at the top and brought back a series so beloved. But some things in life just dont seem to work out all too well. Regardless, I still have high hopes that Silent Hill will some day make a real comeback in honest hands.
While I'll personally give the gameplay a bit more credit than you did, I can't really disagree with the points. Really like the game because it's such an outlier, and while being an outlier somehow encapsulates that Silent Hill-feeling even better than some of the games actually taking place there.
"The Point of buying games is to support the creators. Buying it second hand is only supporting the previous owner meth habits" - Yahtzee 2018. And i'm totally going to use it when debating piracy with my coleagues.
Wai... what? How does one even do that, and... why? Don't prebuilt computers come with a license? At least here in Brazil, it always has pre instaled in any prebuilt we've bought so far in my household. '-' My only guess is that people are trying to squeeze every coin for it's value...
Sounds very incovenient. But i guess if i look further into microsoft's business i would find some duds that could justify that course of action. So. Shrug i guess.
GameStop has made a killing soaking up the profits on used games, and any game developer would be more than happy to tell you that buying used from Gamestop just a more expensive form of piracy
Because here in Brazil, we avoid to buy games in stores because they are expensive due taxes and prefer to buy from street retailers which often sell pirated or stolen products which often are associated with other criminal activities. Such as making deals with security transport companies to steal products.
While I do feel guilty for buying second-hand, a lot of the time it's out of necessity. In a world where new console games cost upwards of sixty US dollars to buy, I often find myself torn between paying rent, buying food, or buying a game. Normally, I can usually do two of those just fine, but the third has to go on the shelf. Every now and again, I save up enough to indulge myself in a new game, but then it seems like forever before I can pick up another one. Secondhand games cut that time in half. It's like buying cars - I still believe that people who buy brand new cars are either rich or idiots; probably both. There's always a recall on airbags in like two years, and the second you buy the fucking thing its value goes into the drain. Same with games. The second you buy the disc, it's worth a quarter of what it was before you bought it. As for supporting the developers - fuck them. Especially in today's market. Hell, they'll make ten times of what I'd have given them just by selling the average consumer things that should've already been in that sixty dollar game.
I find myself legitimately unsure about the subject of horror. I generally stay far away from horror games and films because I'm not keen on self torture but I absolutely love games like Subnautica even when they're making me jump out of my skin. "The Room" sounds like something I wouldn't want to experience. x_x
Shame we’ll never get a good Silent Hill game ever again. Such a shame, I never got to play any of them and I probably never will. Oh as long as Konami holds the rights the beloved horror survival game series is dead in the water like a rotting fish carcase... *breaks down laughing as I hold up a news article about Sony buying the Silent Hill IP* I’m sorry! I couldn’t keep that up!
HEY! Extermination wasn't bad, well I'm not sure, never got to complete it because my dad broke it in half and threw it behind the dresser while I was playing it.
MachonyLeeoun not exactly, older consoles allowed you to continue playing the game without the disk. This is because the console loaded that segment of the game and didn't need to read the disk until it got to the next loading screen
The moment I lost respect for SH4 was back in the day one time I was fighting a monster then Eileen came with her heels bandaged face and cast and started patheticly swinging a chain with one arm trying to help me. My mom was passing by witnessed that scene and burst out laghing. After that there's just no way to take anything serious anymore
For a while I was thinking this was about Resident Evil 4, and I was entirely lost, as I tried to work out how Yahtzee and I got such different experiences from one of my favourite games of all time.
(spoilers, sort of) I always thought Silent Hill 4 was underrated. You're practically playing through the distorted perceptions of locations of past memories of a dead serial killer, which said serial killer's ghost is stalking you throughout these memory locations. I'm so glad a good amount of Team Silent is working with Kojima for Death Stranding. Who knows what their contributions will be, but I'm excited, nevertheless.
The Room is probably my least favorite out of the Team Silent games but it's treated like the black sheep of the franchise and it deserved so much better.
I thought it was pretty obvious that the first four SH games are seen as basically a different series to the post-Team Silent ones. Even the worst Team Silent game is a thousand times better than any American title.
I’m convinced this game is about social anxiety. Wanting to leave your head, seeing people around you, wanting desperately to interact with them, but not being able to do so.
Downpour wasn’t terrible it was just poorly optimized. It honestly wasn’t scary either. I found doing the side quests actually made it better as they are more disturbing then the main plot. But it was just sort of okay.
This is a game i had thought yatzee would probably never review. I recall it mentioned in a far earlier video where he said he liked it, didn't think he would pull together enough to say about it though. I'm fine with the unkillable ghosts, leaves something to be perpetually wary of if they aren't pinned down.
+Ora Saikatsu Not the original one, that one is ps2 only. The one on ps4(Silent Hill HD collection) only has 2 games and performs really poorly, it's barely an upgrade
At least the escort portion doesnt actually require you to protect her. She wont die, she just becomes more and more unstable the more damage she takes, which doesnt affect you until the final boss, potentially making her impossible to save.
The concept of your hub world becoming dangerous over the course of the game is freaking genius! Unfortunate that it only happened in a pretty bad game
As the only silent hill game I had ever played, yeah, I completely agree, I loved it, but the whole repetition of the first half and then escort quest thing is fucked
@@wilsonkierankitsune here's hoping that silent hill 2 and 3 get a digital release soon. Possibly before Halloween. I hope they put Shadow of Memories on GOG
@@wilsonkierankitsune I'm worried that konami might just port the god-awful HD edition of silent hill 2 and 3 to pc. If that happens, the modding community will fix that.
Fucking loved that game. I normally don't really like horror, but I loved the balance between home and scary world in this, and the way home was taken away. I loved the feeling of the game, and the way I remember it, the graphics were brillant and scary as hell
Ah, Silent Hill 4... Brings back verdant memories of sophomore year in high school going over to watch my friend Joe play. He was the only one with an undying love for Sony and Konami. This was my 1st exposure to the franchise...not a Terrible start to be sure.
This was refreshing! I seriously love the Silent Hill series, and four was one of those I really enjoyed (and I personally enjoyed the fact that Henry's a giant doofus). Also, I loved how most of the endings REALLY DO NOT FEEL LIKE A WIN.
I agree, but I also think I got lucky, cause my ending showed Henry limping away from the apartment building, and arriving at the hospital to see the injured but healing up Eileen. I don't know how I did it, honestly. It was my first playthrough, and it was the very first Silent Hill game I've ever played.
I tried to play 3, but lost my save at the hospital. I tried to play the first one, but got stuck on a piano puzzle. The only one I finished was 2, and I thought it was exellent.
Victor Kruger I would recommend going back and giving them a shot. The piano is the hardest puzzle in the game and you could always look up the solution online. Even though 3 is my favorite I do have to acknowledge that 2 is the best and the most accessible one especially for people who haven't played the series before. If you do go back to play the others try to avoid the HD Collection. The less said about that awful mess the better.
I don't get how people find the piano puzzle so hard. Once you read the poem and get the clues, it's all really obvious. I wish more games had neat little puzzles in them like that, instead of stick item here or match shape there.
Bluemoon in the Daylight I don't want you to misunderstand me. I wasn't lobbying for the abolishment of these kinds of puzzles in video games. I think it's also fair to say that just because something is easy and obvious for one person doesn't mean that's going to be the case for everyone. Despite the fact that I do think it's the most difficult puzzle in the game and often have trouble with it I enjoy solving it none the less.
I agree with that (though 2 is a close second). Heather is my favorite lead character of the series and the horror is relentless in that game, kept me on the edge of my seat playing it.
I liked Silent Hill 4. Only time the gameplay really got me was when Eileen wouldn't stop attacking unkillable monsters. I ended up taking her weapons away so she'd follow me instead.
Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid have some VERY similar traits, though the genres and fanbase differ. By all accounts, the joint effort presented by MGS 2 and 4 create one of the best stories gaming has to offer, though it's VERY wordy and could have used a little bit of polish. MGS2 holds, arguably, the best gameplay of the entire series, with incredibly detailed concepts and environments, even by today's standard, and with controls that are still sharp as a tack. MGS4 certainly has the benefits of being just as imaginatively bonkers, but falls short on the gameplay department, with stealth being about as useful as a blonde at a science convention. That said, MGS3 looks fantastic, plays a bit better, and has a unique atmosphere and execution all its own. Similarly, Silent Hill 2 and 4 hold the best stories of the lot, with SH2 delving miles deep into psychological trauma and guilt, while maintaining the expected amount of loss-of-control you'd expect from a helpless situation. SH4 certainly has the more "interesting" story, but the gameplay is... well, you saw the review. SH3 is unique in its switch from psychological horror to making the environment itself look and sound as utterly violent as possible, making me, personally, more scared to play it than any other SH game on the market. Like MGS3, it holds a unique atmosphere and presentation in comparison to the rest of the series. In short, play both series, and sorry about the long comment. If you read this far, thank you. Also, Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers. Also also, stop reading this, you insufferable cunt. Also also also, sorry for the insult. - GREEN
It is pretty funny how Silent Hill and Resident Evil both experimented with their respective fourth entries, as you can kind of see the two ends of the spectrum both games landed on. RE4 redefined the series (and by extension, the genre) for the next several years until only recently returning to a semblance of its horror-heavy roots, whereas SH4's attempt at restructuring itself saw Konami wrest control from the original team and get a bunch of western teams to just catch the same bolt of lightning SH2 had masterfully snatched between its grasp back in the early days of the PS2.
I'd say the gameplay of Silent Hill 4 is a mixed bag. The combat is perfect, it feels good, it's fun, and it works with the tone of the game and communicates things about your character. On the other hand, unkillable enemies who hurt you by just being near you, and the second half of the game is an escort mission largely done through a bunch of areas you've already explored, and now you can't go back to your apartment to heal.
Silent hill 4 is just one of those trippy games that i cant ever forget , it may not be as good as the others but it definitely wins on the weird factor
If ur saying bad shit about Silent Hill 4. I'll lose my shit. This is my favourite Silent Hill game. I know everyone will tell me Silent hill 2 us the best of Silent Hill 1 because it was one of it's kind n how amazing it truly was to play when u never play a game like that before. The emotion was fly to the moon n back. Silent hill 4 re revolutionize this whole title. How coastraphobic the room was. How amazing the puzzle was. How terrifying the whole game was. Gameplay was freaking amazing. Those creature n the sound they make will haunt u. When the room start to swallow u (not literally EMOTIONALLY). U will feel true video game horror. What Silent hill PT n Resident evil 7 did perfectly to capture those emotion.
The best thing about SH4 is its extended trailer. It's my favorite game trailer period Everything else is Eh. The characters are really really weak in comparison with 2 and 3

I think that Walter isn't an antagonist as much as he is the actual protagonist of the story. Henry is just the fake protagonist through whom you discover the details behind the events. Everything revolves around Walter, while Henry barely has any story in the whole game.
CopyZer0 Walter is not a protagonist by any means. Yes, he did not deserve anything that's happened to him, and that's exactly why he becomes a serial killer. Henry is more or less the player, the observer, receiver of wisdom = the protagonist.
CopyZer0 Walter is most definitely the antagonist. The protagonist of the story isn't necessarily the one around whom the story is centered. Take, for example, Bram Stoker's Dracula. Dracula is one of the most infamous examples of an antagonist: evil through and through, manipulative, charming, scheming, etc. Yet the story revolves around him. Yes, there are heroes who rise up against him, such as Jonathan Harker and Abraham van Helsing, but they are not the focus of the story.
Just because Dracula is the focus of the story does NOT make him the protagonist. In the original novel, the role of the protagonist is pretty much evenly split up among Harker, Van Helsing, Dr. Seward, etc.
He’s only the second classical villain the series ever had, so

The game is called "The Room" and not one Tommy Wiseau joke?
That explains all the tommy wiseau quotes in the comment section.
You are tearing me apart(ment), Henry!
Every so often Yahtzee avoids going to the low hanging fruit
You can read literally ever other retro review of this game if you’re that hungry for stupid hack shit jokes like that
SH4 was one of my favourites, and the scariest for me. The sense of entrapment and the actual survival horror aspect of unkillable ghosts made it a difficult and scary game. And all I have to say after that is - Eileen's head. Nightmares.
Splappy boom blappy? Well, let’s see if Yahtzee commits to this monstrosity of a joke for the whole video... no way, he’d never do th... my god, he’s doing it... ugh
"Somewhat unqualified for action" - maybe, but you gotta admit, Henry has the best stomp out of all the protagonists.
I'm so impressed by this review honestly! You get exactly how I feel! So many people bash it but you've just perfectly explained why it deserves a bit more than that.
Not gonna lie, I do have a soft spot in my heart for this game
Anyone remember the room in the hospital where if you walk forward the camera switches to a creepy massive head of eileen? Man that shit was freaky for my mind
Trapped in my flat
Only my memories for company
Trapped in my flat
Hoping someone will come and rescue me!
I was looking for this in the comments section, was not dissappointed.
Yahtzee made a video about it on his own channel.
Yes, that was the point.
Please buy my games. Meth is expensive!
Holy shit. I thought it would never come.
Im sure thats what Yatz girlfriend says that constantly.

Silent Hill 4 has one of the best trailers ever. Even more so if you consider the extended trailer.
YES. It's my favorite trailer and by far the best thing about the game
Inriri Best spent 9 minutes of my life.
"Splappy Boom Blappy" is the new "Spunk Gargle Weewee".
"Spunk Gargle WeeWee" will never be topped by "Splappy Boom Blappy"
Unless Konami releases a Silent Hill game with a first-person shooter section and even clunkier controls for $60
Spunk Gargle WeeWee is generic, bald-head, brown-colored FPS games. Spappy Boom Blappy is specifically the Silent Hill series
no, that's Jiminy Cockthroat
aah, i remember when sh4 came out, most players didn't like it, and then at every new western entry in the series, people started to love it more and more lmao
Brunn0121 Also known as Return of the Jedi syndrome
that will soon change to the force awakens syndrome LMAO
Brunn0121 not sure i got that one
when the last jedi came out, people only focused on its flaws, which there are of course, but when the last jedi came, jesus christ episode 7 just became a masterpiece.
Nah, I continued to hate it and all the later sequels. The first three are the only ones worth playing, as far as I'm concerned.
5:15 “Sadly, it’s practically abandoned ware”
I can only imagine the egg on Yahtzee’s face when it was released on GOG before 1, 2, or 3.
1 was never on PC tho.
It’s not like he’s clairvoyant
I'm so glad I'm not the only person on earth who loves this game, and one of the only other people is the hardest critic ever
TheGoldenRaptor i too love this game
I love it, still have the cd rom around:)
Why do people keep thinking like they're the "only" person? Of course you're not.
Every time I saw a review of this game they always shat on it and declared it the worst SH game ever so I just assumed that was the general feeling toward it
TheGoldenRaptor Ahh gotcha.
Did Yahtzee basically imply that we should pirate/emulate the game at the end there?
RE4VER I think he just doesn't think that buying a game second hand is better than pirating it since both don't give money to the people who made it
I honestly thought this game was fantastic when I played it, in fact (heresy alert) I personally enjoyed it more than Silent Hill 2. Sure it had rough edges but it has the best premise and creeping horror design in the whole series. Ironically this is the one game that really would benefit from a really well thought out remaster. Someone find the genius who did REmake and beg him to give SH4 the same treatment...
I tend to not give much thought to what an old classic would look like remade, even imperfect games, but SH4 is such a perfect case of missteps concealing the brilliance underneath that I can't not imagine it: monster sound design that's as unsettling as the level sound design, monster visual design that's uniformly creepy (instead of only the ghosts and baby faces), fidelity that allows way more propwork and thus even more contrast between the mundane room and the bizarre nightmare worlds, character microexpressions that would let the cast stay quiet and off-putting but instill more connection, a second half that takes advantage of repetition by innovating the level design and updating the visuals, and of course refined combat and escort AI.
Goddamn does it suck that this game will never get its due
(I know this is a very old comment, but we're deep in coronavirus quarantine now and something about being trapped in my urban apartment watching the world outside has me thinking about SH4, hmmmmmm no idea why)
_"Oh, hi game. What's new with you?"_
This was the one that got me into the series. Awkward gameplay.... a resounding yes. But everything else makes up for it in near spades!
"That's when you know your buttocks have been splashed with the cold, toilet water of omen."

You do not "use" a Yahtzee love pillow,
you make sweet sweet love to it so it can criticize you later.

lol and GOG just re-released it in 4k.
It's a small Comfort to know that it doesn't matter how much Eileen gets damaged because you can completely undo all the harm done to her right before the end of the game.
Spencer Trumbore Get to the part just before Eileen runs off after you pick up the umbilical cord. Position Henry and Eileen as close to the umbilical cord as possible but don't pick it up. Put down a candle and wait till it's just about to burn out. Just before it burns out pick up the umbilical cord. You'll know you've done it right if Eileen isn't yelling at you during the cutscene. I've had to do it every time I've played the game and it always works. Keep in mind I haven't played the game in years and I might be a little bit fuzzy on the details so you might want to look it up online to be sure. I know it works though.
I tried this twice and then learned that it's a bug that doesn't work 100% of the time. Oh well, who needs good endings.
WarLord Era Try Saving right before you do it so you can keep going back to it if it doesn't work. I also looked it up right after I posted that comment and I saw someone on TH-cam placing several candles around Eileen and it healed her pretty much completely. I've never tried it myself as a matter of fact it's the first time I've ever seen it done that way.
On my first playthrough I thought she was invincible. Then near the end I was like "Hey there's a lot of veiny shit on her that wasn't there before... oh." It kinda worked, though, because getting the worst ending is also a challenge. You have to navigate around all the possessed crap in your apartment, some of which are containers you interact with, and never clean anything.
Brandon Powell SEVERAL CANDLES?? I had a hard enough time saving the one for Eileen! But I'll try again one of these days, it's kinda frustrating for two playthroughs to end that miserably. 😁
SH4 is officially on PC on GOG now. I’ve been playing it these last couple of days and its a great port. You can even use any game controller you have with a bit of tweaking.
you fart you seppuku
I feel like silent hill 4 would've been a much better game if Eileen was the main protagonist.
A review of Silent Hill 4: The Room? ಠ_ಠ
YOU’RE TEARING ME APART, YAHTZEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
No Spappy-Boom-Blappy game will be better than Spappy-Boom-Blappy 2.
Mark Lumsley I agree that 2 is one of the best games ever but we should not limit ourselves you know
*Splappy-Boom-Blappy
4 was my first and by far my favorite Silent Hill game.
I bought this at the beginning of the pandemic. Isnt that hilarious.
My biggest problem with Silent Hill 4 was it had the perfect idea for its gameplay flow and all the writers had a stroke. You take Eileen to the room, this is the point where the game starts to be an escort slog. They were so close to realizing ... you should have just brought her through the hole to the room. The endings depend on the the amount of hauntings, and Eileen's level of corruption. Guess what? Could've kept Eileen in The Room, no escorting, and you would've just had to heal both Eileen and The Room when you return, perhaps she gravitates toward hauntings you ignore and comment on them? Just about the only loss is the strange writing in Forest World. Well... maybe Henry can write it down for her with a notepad item? *CALLBACK* It would've been so easy to fix SH4 if the developers thought just a bit more.
Was that a positive review to a game a lot of people seem to dislike? Yahtzeey my love! Praise be to you! I've always loved the SH series and I look forward to when Konami loses the rights to it in some back alley bar. The series would be so much better in literally anyone else's hands.
100% agree
Well to be fair, it's hard to be worse in any way imaginable to abandoning the series in almost all possible ways and making Pachinko machines out of it.
Silent Hill could have dominated so much in this current era of gaming. Silent Hills alone changed a lot of facets in gaming with a short demo and it's unimaginable to think what that game could have done in its completed state. This could have easily put Konami back at the top and brought back a series so beloved. But some things in life just dont seem to work out all too well. Regardless, I still have high hopes that Silent Hill will some day make a real comeback in honest hands.
While I'll personally give the gameplay a bit more credit than you did, I can't really disagree with the points. Really like the game because it's such an outlier, and while being an outlier somehow encapsulates that Silent Hill-feeling even better than some of the games actually taking place there.
"The Point of buying games is to support the creators. Buying it second hand is only supporting the previous owner meth habits" - Yahtzee 2018.
And i'm totally going to use it when debating piracy with my coleagues.
Wai... what? How does one even do that, and... why? Don't prebuilt computers come with a license? At least here in Brazil, it always has pre instaled in any prebuilt we've bought so far in my household. '-'
My only guess is that people are trying to squeeze every coin for it's value...
Sounds very incovenient. But i guess if i look further into microsoft's business i would find some duds that could justify that course of action. So. Shrug i guess.
GameStop has made a killing soaking up the profits on used games, and any game developer would be more than happy to tell you that buying used from Gamestop just a more expensive form of piracy
In which way? Because the logical conclusion of that statement is that pirating any game that you can't get firsthand is perfectly acceptable...
Because here in Brazil, we avoid to buy games in stores because they are expensive due taxes and prefer to buy from street retailers which often sell pirated or stolen products which often are associated with other criminal activities. Such as making deals with security transport companies to steal products.
Pachinko!
While I do feel guilty for buying second-hand, a lot of the time it's out of necessity. In a world where new console games cost upwards of sixty US dollars to buy, I often find myself torn between paying rent, buying food, or buying a game. Normally, I can usually do two of those just fine, but the third has to go on the shelf. Every now and again, I save up enough to indulge myself in a new game, but then it seems like forever before I can pick up another one. Secondhand games cut that time in half.
It's like buying cars - I still believe that people who buy brand new cars are either rich or idiots; probably both. There's always a recall on airbags in like two years, and the second you buy the fucking thing its value goes into the drain. Same with games. The second you buy the disc, it's worth a quarter of what it was before you bought it.
As for supporting the developers - fuck them. Especially in today's market. Hell, they'll make ten times of what I'd have given them just by selling the average consumer things that should've already been in that sixty dollar game.
I find myself legitimately unsure about the subject of horror. I generally stay far away from horror games and films because I'm not keen on self torture but I absolutely love games like Subnautica even when they're making me jump out of my skin. "The Room" sounds like something I wouldn't want to experience. x_x
Don't diss Extermination, the voice acting in that game gives me the chills.
Shame we’ll never get a good Silent Hill game ever again. Such a shame, I never got to play any of them and I probably never will. Oh as long as Konami holds the rights the beloved horror survival game series is dead in the water like a rotting fish carcase...
*breaks down laughing as I hold up a news article about Sony buying the Silent Hill IP*
I’m sorry! I couldn’t keep that up!
HEY! Extermination wasn't bad, well I'm not sure, never got to complete it because my dad broke it in half and threw it behind the dresser while I was playing it.
Mr.Death
Well, you weren't playing it anymore if he physically took it out of the console to break it 😂
MachonyLeeoun not exactly, older consoles allowed you to continue playing the game without the disk. This is because the console loaded that segment of the game and didn't need to read the disk until it got to the next loading screen
It was great because you could take out the game and put in a music cd and it would play that music instead.
The moment I lost respect for SH4 was back in the day one time I was fighting a monster then Eileen came with her heels bandaged face and cast and started patheticly swinging a chain with one arm trying to help me. My mom was passing by witnessed that scene and burst out laghing. After that there's just no way to take anything serious anymore
This game still gives me chills 10 years later
"bizarre nightmare worlds" WELCOME TO LEICESTER...
For a while I was thinking this was about Resident Evil 4, and I was entirely lost, as I tried to work out how Yahtzee and I got such different experiences from one of my favourite games of all time.
Bad Request also one of his favorite games of all time
Resident evil 4 is on everyone’s list of favorite games of all time
I replayed played this one on my streaming channel recently. The Escort Mission aspect of it made it nearly unplayable... from a patience perspective.
The first 4 SH Games were amazing everything SH4 is Bad
Oh boy, how I love my 5 minutes of Yahtzee's articulate, entertaining and funny rants
(spoilers, sort of) I always thought Silent Hill 4 was underrated. You're practically playing through the distorted perceptions of locations of past memories of a dead serial killer, which said serial killer's ghost is stalking you throughout these memory locations. I'm so glad a good amount of Team Silent is working with Kojima for Death Stranding. Who knows what their contributions will be, but I'm excited, nevertheless.
The Room is probably my least favorite out of the Team Silent games but it's treated like the black sheep of the franchise and it deserved so much better.
I thought it was pretty obvious that the first four SH games are seen as basically a different series to the post-Team Silent ones. Even the worst Team Silent game is a thousand times better than any American title.
Silent Hill 2 > Silent Hill 4 > Silent Hill 1 > The Rest
Maybe 4 & 1 could swap places, but whatever.
I’m convinced this game is about social anxiety. Wanting to leave your head, seeing people around you, wanting desperately to interact with them, but not being able to do so.
Please do one for Silent Hill 3 Yahtzee!
That's my favorite part in the series, even more so than 2!
Downpour wasn’t terrible it was just poorly optimized. It honestly wasn’t scary either. I found doing the side quests actually made it better as they are more disturbing then the main plot. But it was just sort of okay.
It wasn't scary, but I actually liked the plot itself.
This is a game i had thought yatzee would probably never review. I recall it mentioned in a far earlier video where he said he liked it, didn't think he would pull together enough to say about it though.
I'm fine with the unkillable ghosts, leaves something to be perpetually wary of if they aren't pinned down.
I still have my Silent Hill Collection on ps2. Came with 2,3 and 4. Better than the ps4 version
Ashuraman Is the Silent Hill Collection on PS4?
+Ora Saikatsu Not the original one, that one is ps2 only. The one on ps4(Silent Hill HD collection) only has 2 games and performs really poorly, it's barely an upgrade
Ashuraman I didn't know the HD collection was on PS4 lol I just thought it was PS3 only
+Ora Saikatsu You are correct, my bad, it's ps3 only.
At least the escort portion doesnt actually require you to protect her. She wont die, she just becomes more and more unstable the more damage she takes, which doesnt affect you until the final boss, potentially making her impossible to save.
The concept of your hub world becoming dangerous over the course of the game is freaking genius! Unfortunate that it only happened in a pretty bad game
Finally witnessed someone else other than myself like Silent Hill 4, I thought I was alone (we all are). Subscribe
Knowing that Yahtzee will one day review *HuniePop*
it fills me with determination!
Paradox Acres That's quite the mixing of fandoms you've got there.
knowing that you will die at some point makes this okay
I read this many times now. Since when do you try to convince him to review this game?
*Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.*
Yahtzee might be biased since it's an anime game. Of course I could be wrong since he gave DDLC a decent review.
As the only silent hill game I had ever played, yeah, I completely agree, I loved it, but the whole repetition of the first half and then escort quest thing is fucked
You really, really owe yourself of playing 1-3.
I'd recommend emulating 1 and playing PC ports of 2-4 with the new fan-fixes.

Fucking loved that game. I normally don't really like horror, but I loved the balance between home and scary world in this, and the way home was taken away. I loved the feeling of the game, and the way I remember it, the graphics were brillant and scary as hell
This is such a good review since he is clear and direct with what made the game so good and what it did right and wrong.
Ah, Silent Hill 4... Brings back verdant memories of sophomore year in high school going over to watch my friend Joe play. He was the only one with an undying love for Sony and Konami.
This was my 1st exposure to the franchise...not a Terrible start to be sure.
This was refreshing! I seriously love the Silent Hill series, and four was one of those I really enjoyed (and I personally enjoyed the fact that Henry's a giant doofus). Also, I loved how most of the endings REALLY DO NOT FEEL LIKE A WIN.
I agree, but I also think I got lucky, cause my ending showed Henry limping away from the apartment building, and arriving at the hospital to see the injured but healing up Eileen. I don't know how I did it, honestly. It was my first playthrough, and it was the very first Silent Hill game I've ever played.
I love SH4 but it has the same issue as DMC4. It goes downhill after the second half because they didn’t finish the game.
My favorite Silent Hill is Silent Hill 3. Everything is fine.
I tried to play 3, but lost my save at the hospital. I tried to play the first one, but got stuck on a piano puzzle. The only one I finished was 2, and I thought it was exellent.
Victor Kruger I would recommend going back and giving them a shot. The piano is the hardest puzzle in the game and you could always look up the solution online. Even though 3 is my favorite I do have to acknowledge that 2 is the best and the most accessible one especially for people who haven't played the series before. If you do go back to play the others try to avoid the HD Collection. The less said about that awful mess the better.
I don't get how people find the piano puzzle so hard. Once you read the poem and get the clues, it's all really obvious. I wish more games had neat little puzzles in them like that, instead of stick item here or match shape there.
Bluemoon in the Daylight I don't want you to misunderstand me. I wasn't lobbying for the abolishment of these kinds of puzzles in video games. I think it's also fair to say that just because something is easy and obvious for one person doesn't mean that's going to be the case for everyone. Despite the fact that I do think it's the most difficult puzzle in the game and often have trouble with it I enjoy solving it none the less.
I agree with that (though 2 is a close second). Heather is my favorite lead character of the series and the horror is relentless in that game, kept me on the edge of my seat playing it.
I liked Silent Hill 4. Only time the gameplay really got me was when Eileen wouldn't stop attacking unkillable monsters. I ended up taking her weapons away so she'd follow me instead.
Funny as always Yahtzee!!
I definitely have nostalgia goggles for this one. It's not the best gameplay but the concept, story and atmosphere really intrigued me.
Silent hill 4: the room
Staring Tommy Wiseau😄👌
Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid have some VERY similar traits, though the genres and fanbase differ.
By all accounts, the joint effort presented by MGS 2 and 4 create one of the best stories gaming has to offer, though it's VERY wordy and could have used a little bit of polish. MGS2 holds, arguably, the best gameplay of the entire series, with incredibly detailed concepts and environments, even by today's standard, and with controls that are still sharp as a tack. MGS4 certainly has the benefits of being just as imaginatively bonkers, but falls short on the gameplay department, with stealth being about as useful as a blonde at a science convention. That said, MGS3 looks fantastic, plays a bit better, and has a unique atmosphere and execution all its own.
Similarly, Silent Hill 2 and 4 hold the best stories of the lot, with SH2 delving miles deep into psychological trauma and guilt, while maintaining the expected amount of loss-of-control you'd expect from a helpless situation. SH4 certainly has the more "interesting" story, but the gameplay is... well, you saw the review. SH3 is unique in its switch from psychological horror to making the environment itself look and sound as utterly violent as possible, making me, personally, more scared to play it than any other SH game on the market. Like MGS3, it holds a unique atmosphere and presentation in comparison to the rest of the series.
In short, play both series, and sorry about the long comment. If you read this far, thank you. Also, Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers. Also also, stop reading this, you insufferable cunt. Also also also, sorry for the insult.

More Judging by the cover!
It is pretty funny how Silent Hill and Resident Evil both experimented with their respective fourth entries, as you can kind of see the two ends of the spectrum both games landed on. RE4 redefined the series (and by extension, the genre) for the next several years until only recently returning to a semblance of its horror-heavy roots, whereas SH4's attempt at restructuring itself saw Konami wrest control from the original team and get a bunch of western teams to just catch the same bolt of lightning SH2 had masterfully snatched between its grasp back in the early days of the PS2.
I'd say the gameplay of Silent Hill 4 is a mixed bag.
The combat is perfect, it feels good, it's fun, and it works with the tone of the game and communicates things about your character.
On the other hand, unkillable enemies who hurt you by just being near you, and the second half of the game is an escort mission largely done through a bunch of areas you've already explored, and now you can't go back to your apartment to heal.
Silent hill 4 is just one of those trippy games that i cant ever forget , it may not be as good as the others but it definitely wins on the weird factor
If ur saying bad shit about Silent Hill 4. I'll lose my shit. This is my favourite Silent Hill game. I know everyone will tell me Silent hill 2 us the best of Silent Hill 1 because it was one of it's kind n how amazing it truly was to play when u never play a game like that before. The emotion was fly to the moon n back.
Silent hill 4 re revolutionize this whole title. How coastraphobic the room was. How amazing the puzzle was. How terrifying the whole game was. Gameplay was freaking amazing. Those creature n the sound they make will haunt u. When the room start to swallow u (not literally EMOTIONALLY). U will feel true video game horror.
What Silent hill PT n Resident evil 7 did perfectly to capture those emotion.
The best thing about SH4 is its extended trailer. It's my favorite game trailer period
Everything else is Eh.
The characters are really really weak in comparison with 2 and 3
Damn! I thought this review meant there was an HD remake of SH4 that I somehow missed. I know I'm a sucker... I just love SH4!
I thought Downpour was actually all right.
Oh my god, calling Henry Townsend a Thunderbirds puppet might be the greatest gaming revelation of the 21st century
Just finished mog world really enjoyed it
Don't post a comment here where no one cares about it, post a review (on amazon, for example) where it'll actually do Yahtzee some good.
Josh Martin maybe I did maybe I was just telling all the nice comment people that I enjoyed it so maybe they will too now crawl back in your hole and think before you type puddin
