I'm not the one who posted that- get on his case if you care. All I'm saying to him is that I do hear the similarity. :geno:

Listen to the Half-Life 2 one through the whole thing, and then listen to the SH one. Theres a lot of similiarity.

The only thing I noticed was the pattern (1 is lowest tone, 3 is highest)

1, 2, 3, 2, 1.

In Half Life 2 it sounds grainy-ish, in Silent Hill it's like soft 'dings', so to speak.

Yeah, the HL2 Beta looked so much more creepy and awesome, can't wait for Missing Information to be done.
oh yeah if it counts. The Stalkers in missing information, because they remind me of those spooks in the FEAR expansions :crying:

I hate to break it to you but Missing Info shifted their focus from an accurate remake of the E3 version to their own interpretation of the plot the original game was going to follow. They're going to be changing quite a lot I hear.

Damn....

Don't worry, I know what he meant. Plus, I already have all the sounds from half-life 2 extracted, I mod the sounds a lot.

EDIT:

Good god, what the heck is teddy.wav? i'm gonna get nightmares from that. (don't reverse it)

May you please upload the "teddy" thing on youtube? but reversed? I don't know how to reverse something and all I got is windows movie maker...

All i know is, i want to have a scene or a video where we can see people being turned into the four zombie types. That would be gruesome, and it would show just how dark Half Life is.

There's a part like this in "Water Hazard" when they're shelling a rebel station. It doesn't exactly show the person becoming a zombie, but it shows the headcrab beginning to take over as he emits zombie screams.

Moments like that make Half-Life 2 really unnerving, especially after I had developed a feeling of gratitude towards the rebels.

Teddy.wav is the sound when you pick up one of the torn apart baby dolls.

[radioactive]

Guys, you're over speculating. This is how they make synthesized sounds for everything. If you made these sounds the proper way, it doesn't sound right. But if you do it with other methods such as reversed screaming and free use sounds, you can create the right effect.

[Trainbike]

Another part I just remembered that was equal parts gruesom and hilarious that could also constitute "mind fucking" if it catches you off guard; that part in HL1 where a bullsquid is dragging a dead HECU marine into a hole in the wall and he wont quite fit so it ends up breaking his leg. That crunch sound was pretty sickly but the scenario was pretty funny.

Yeah, i know that (that has actually scarred me. Yes, a video game scarred me) but what im talking about is watching a zombie's rib-cage pop, and its arms grow, watching a fast-zombie rip itself to shreads, listen to a zombine freak the fuck out, and watch a poison zombie burst out of its skin. Yes, it would be gruesome, terrifying, but it would open peoples eyes to what the combine are doing to people in game, and they would have sympathy for what they are killing.

What freaks me out the most is the fact that Gordon pulls the pin of his grenades, and then puts them back in his pocket.

What, when you go to throw them? He hoists them over his head if you left click and lowers his arm for a small toss if you right click.

Pull the pin on the grenade, change weapon.

Also, does the crows/birds have anything to do with G-Man or what?

I'm assuming they're just incredibly frequent storytelling devices.

In L4D2, on the parish(I think) where there is a grafitti on the wall showing tally marks under two stickfigures, one zombie the other human really freaked me out.

That, and the fucking houses off of the road in highway 17. Those were creepy as fuck.

The entire underground part of Episode 1 was creepy.

The one that spawns a poison zombie right behind you after you pick up some grenades and crossbow ammo is worse. Everytime I go into that one I know he will be there once I pick it up, but it always manages to make me jump still. Probably because there's two different doors he could come from so you never know which it will walk through. It's the two story house right before the bridge if you haven't seen it yet.

[Beetle179]

I tried making a quick video of teddy.wav forwards and backwards, but I can't get any good screenrecording software that also captures sound, so I could upload it quick to Youtube.

Oh well. But it really wasn't interesting - teddy.wav is only ~0.58 seconds long, and backwards it's just a bad sounding scream. Not really scary, or creepy.

protip: on a real grenade, pulling the pin doesn't trigger the explosion, it's flipping the handle. the pin just acts as a kind of safety mechanism.

It's made so much scarier when the first few times you play through it you didn't see it and then one day you play again and it's right there.
