So the question:Is the sillent hill still waht it used to be:Yes! Read for more information.
Gameplay.The gameplay changed from the past Sillent hill games,even though the game received a mixed critical reaction due to deviations from the original Silent Hill style,i think that the gameplay actually improved and that the change was needed in the gameplay.Gameplay is centered on the Henry's apartment, which is shown through a first-person perspective and contains the only save point. The other levels of the game are reached through holes formed in the apartmentFor the first half of the game the room will also heal the player. In the second half of the game, the room becomes possessed by hauntings that drain Henry's "health".U chave limited inventory which can be managed by leaving unneeded items in a chest in Henry's room.
Graphics:Are not improved since the previous game,in some points it looks even worse than SH3,the textures are blurrie,which is kinda disapointing.But the realistic shadows and good effects are still there.the textures are blurrie
Sound:
I think that name Akira Yamaoka tells everything,Awesome!(music is great aswell as sound effects)
