He was in there for a second towards the end.
Watching just the trailer was freaking me out enough as it is! hehe*pounce kat*
No, really. Holy shit.
I can't believe they slipped in the old opening music there at the end.

You should at least play SH2. You need to have the sound of Pyramid Head's knife scraping against the ground as he drags it burned into your memory.

I'm getting psyched, too.
I'm almost considering going back and playing SH1 again... or if not that, at least going and finding the ones I never played.

Which ones haven't you played? Whichever they are, save SH4 for last if you play it at all. While it nails atmosphere better than probably any of the games in the series it just isn't very enjoyable gameplay-wise.

the most memorable parts for me were:
The Tv, in the first apartment, first it was off, then on, then it was covered in blood and there was a corpse in the lounger.
When you first get a flash light and the mannequin starts kicking around everywhere.
Hiding in the closet watching pyramid head eating a mannequin out of the sink then almost breaking in.
And finally in the freezer with that gun wielding, fat, crazy guy. That character just left me with chills."
I played 4 in a room of like 11-12 people. Even knowing that a ghost may be around freaked some people into screaming out. DrPaintThinner fucked around with this message on 01-20-2006 at 04:07 AM.

I've only played the original.
EDIT: Another trailer (much shorter) is here. Also a higher quality version of the first one here. Both are quicktime format. Arttemis fucked around with this message on 01-20-2006 at 10:16 AM.

You forgot the hallway chase scene with Pyramid Head in the hospital and watching the video in the hotel

Couple of things I noticed with the clearer and new trailers.....
1. Sean Bean is playing the leading male and after thinking about it, its a pretty good fit. -postroliphophus- fucked around with this message on 01-20-2006 at 02:08 PM.
2. Saw the pyramid head that I couldnt see in the other one.
3. Noticed how the camera angles that are being used are identicle to the ones used in the game.
4. I need to change my shorts.

Oh god the hospital. Oh god why.
So far, the trailer looks incredibly promising, and with no Uwe Bole in sight it makes it that much more interesting.

Wonder if they have clips of these scary scenes anywhere so I could see why they freak you guys out so much without having to get the games.
It really wouldnt have the same effect as playing the game and being suprised by these images. I suggest get SH2, its only like a 15 hour game anyway.

Picture this:
The entire world is covered by darkness. You have a tiny bubble of illumination around you, courtesy of your flashlight, which gives you a glimpse of the rusted-metal, blood-coated hell in which you are currently trapped.
As you creep forward, the oppressive silence is broken by a strange crackling on your pocket radio. Somewhere in the blackness ahead--or behind, maybe to the sides--is a demonic monstrosity shambling towards you. You stop, ready your gun, walk slowly on. The radio's crackling grows more urgent; in the distance, you can hear the gutteral chatter of a demon.
You recognize the sound; it's a kind you've seen before. It's short, almost like an infant, but lacking skin, hair, or eyes. In its small, sickly grey hand it holds a rusted knife with which it tried to hamstring you before stabbing you to death.
You shoot blindly, praying you can kill it before it reaches you.
Incredibly, you do. You faintly hear the impact of your bullets, clearly hear a dying moan from the abomination and its impact on the ground.
But your radio is still crackling. Louder.
You hear a strange, infantile coo behind you. You wheel around just in time to see three of the small demons stumbling towards you, wildly hacking the air with their knives.

There was much rejoicing when Sakkra said this:
I'm curious why they went with the woman instead of Harry if they're basing it off of SH1.
my thoughts exactly. That aside, i'm still likely to go see it anyway

I'm curious why they went with the woman instead of Harry if they're basing it off of SH1. I greatly hope it's for something more significant than the cliched "Mommy will save you! Nothing is stronger than mother's love!" crap, but I'm jaded to the point where I'm guessing that's about it...
The more I think about it, they could do this as sort of a prequal to SH1. Then the sequal can be SH1 where Sean Bean is the main character trolling through the town looking for Cheryl.
I'm in the mood to find a game that will scare me shitless, much the way that the Haunted Hotel mission in Vampire was the most frightening thirty minutes of my life. Which SH game is the best?

If you dont really care about the story and are going for scare factor alone, its SH2.

Probably the first, but if it's not readily available go ahead and skip to the 3rd. The 2nd is good if you like a constant atmosphere of dread and creepiness with fewer "boo" scares. The 4th is such a pain in the ass it detracts from the scariness, which is a shame because it probably has the best atmosphere of all the games.

Snoota had this to say about Robocop:

My personal favourite is SH2, because it's a great standalone story that you can appreciate even if you don't know the underlaying mythos of the town that's covered in 1 and 3. It also has the best atmosphere in my honest opinion.
The scariest one is definately SH3, but it also plays heavily upon the storyline established in SH1, taking the mythos of the town even further.

That mission scared the hell out of me too (though that first part, getting stuff randomly thrown at my head annoyed me more than it scared me)... did you think you'd find body parts in the dryer, after reading the paper, like I did too?

That wasn't bad, but it was short. The Cradle in Thief 3 was a better scary stage because it had an actual backstory.
System Shock 2 is still worth playing to this day.
