Podcast: Silent Hill Zero
Whenever a franchise runs long enough, it’s inevitable that you will eventually see a prequel to the original. It just so happens that the fifth game in both the Resident Evil and Silent Hill franchises happened to be prequels. This week Jam and Fred welcome back guest host Vos to delve into the development, release, and reception of both Resident Evil Zero and Silent Hill Origins (known as Silent Hill Zero in Japan).
Podcast: Equal
This week Fred and Jam are joined by special guest Vos from the Future Monkeys podcast to discuss the topic of LGBTQ (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered and Queer) characters and themes in video games. Some may be surprised to know that while not common, they have been around for just about as long as games have. Our panel identifies and discusses the instances that have occurred over history.
Podcast: Silent Evil Gaiden
Special guest Vos joins. Resident Evil and Silent Hill are known for the canonical tales in the numbered storylines, but amidst the biological warfare and haunted towns lies a lesser appreciated series of tales. Enter the “gaiden” or side story. These are the titles on the lesser known consoles, portables, and even mobile phones that surprisingly create unique gameplay and plotlines that, while not as appreciated, are welcome additions to the library.
Podcast: Code Room X
To wrap up our Resident Evil/Silent Hill series (for a while at least), the GH101 team (with special guest Vos) dive into Silent Hill 4: The Room and Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Oddly enough, while SH4 has often been regarded as not originally part of the franchise, it turns out it was always a Silent Hill game and developed by Team Silent but it is a different experience when compared to the games before it. In contrast, Resident Evil: Code Veronica was originally to be Resident Evil 3 and marks the ultimate form of what originally began with the traditional feel and “tank controls”. Fred, Jam, and Vos break down each game and what makes them significant iterations in each series.
Podcast: Silent Hill 3 Revisited
Ever since the 10/01 episode “Silent 3vil” released, we felt one thing was severely missing: everyone’s impressions on Silent Hill 3. In honor of Halloween Fred, Jam, and Vos all got together 30 days later and had a little round table discussion about what we appreciate about the third and final Team Silent installment in the series.
Please Note: This episode is a follow-up to an earlier episode this month (Silent 3vil).
Podcast: Silent 3vil: No Escape
This week Fred and Jam feature special guest Vos5 to discuss the third installment of both the Resident Evil and the Silent Hill series. Where RE3 was more of a side story to try out new mechanics, Silent Hill 3 returned to its roots to be the official sequel for the original and maintained most of the gameplay mechanics. Both have high regards with the fans but are also shadowed by the more popular predecessors.
