P.S: Just to be a little on topic, I don't think the ED graphics are all that great... Maybe that's because I recently pulled Silent Hill 2 out and it reminded me just how pretty some of those indoor enviornments are
Yeah. It looks good, but it's hardly drawing anything. I mean, when you're actually outdoors and it has something to draw it just covers it in fog.

The one great thing that we really saw in this was the particle system.

(And BTW, his name stuck in my head too)

Yeah, and crappy textures and stuff too, I know...

but since you rarely spend anytime outdoors and are only there when you're going to the next "level" (Apartment, hospital, history museum place/prison, hotel), I just consider that kind of like the world map of Final Fantasy games... y'know the graphics were all bland and stuff...

and I like the fog, anyways... it gives it atmosphere...

I wish they used darkness more though... and I mean like outdoors... like in the first one, you shift back and forth between the two "worlds" maybe 4 to 6 times maybe, but in SH2 it's just twice... once to go into it and once to go back... heh...

But enough about Silent Hill 2... uuhhhhh...

"while the voice acting was the icing on the cake and just fortified the whole clip."

I forgot to comment on that...

what's so great about the voice acting? I dunno, I guess I don't really care much wether it's good or not (as long as it's not total crap), so I don't really know what's considered "good"...

I know that people have been saying it had excellent voice acting ever since they got that small sound clip of the guy yelling whatever he yelled (it's at the end of the teaser trailer)... but I dunnos... I guess it sounds kinda like on par with the Soul Reaver/Blood Omen series... which has pretty good voice acting I guesso... and was started by Silicon Knights of course...

Let's just hope ED doesn't get boring and make me wanna stop playing before I actually beat the game like blood omen did

That has nothing to do with voice acting, but still

and with 40-60 hours of gameplay, the potential for bordom and frustration is even higher!

Yeah exactly... blood omen is like looong, but it just seemed like the same damn thing time after time... the dungeons were too similar and stuff... not to mention it was too damn frustrating cuz I kept dying waaaaay too frequently...

Hopefully each character in ED actually FEELS like a different character and not just the same thing in the different time period with different weapons

Almost makes me want to dump RE for it....

It looks good.. nowe someones going to bitch at me for this, but I thought the guy looked a little blockie, I think they could have done a little better graphics wise, I hope they fix that....

No, you win a.. what was it... taco? Yeah, I think it was taco. You win a taco. No you win ten tacos.

I think that was VIN's thing, or him and some others. But I think they're at AGB now.

Before I say, what do you think of her? She's not my girlfriend, so don't worry about insulting me or something (that is, if you would worry about such a thing).

Well, she's just a girl I know and I wanted to try to make my own avatar to see how it comes out. I'll probably replace her with another girl.

Haha. Aziz logged onto his AIM SN and I PM'ed him saying "hi"...

He said "Hi" and signed off. It was pretty funny.
