I once asked him about this on jewtube. This was almost two years ago.

I think I sent George a pm asking him about it, but he never replied.

Nathan was kinda meh anyway.

He made a few funny jokes in the Wasteland LP if I recall, though he was obviously more popamoler out of the two and the took the game less seriously.

Saying Nathan was 'meh' compared to George is an understatement. Nathan was a couch-dwelling amateur, and while that can be alright, he didn't really meet the standards of the Bunny Hop that followed.

Don't really miss him. Like I said; the only review I watched of his on SBH's channel was the DmC review, which was basically the stock "IT'S GREAT WHO CARES THAT IT WAS DUMBED DOWN AND THE PROTAGONIST AN UNLIKABLE FUCK OLD FANS JUST HATE IT BECAUSE OF THE HAIR" routine that every supporter of the game was using at the time, which I thought was way below the normal quality of the show, even during George's early days.

it's easy to make pt sound dope, which is why it's so shocking how boring and shitty it is when you play it

That was kind of my take on it from the bits and pieces I had seen about it before it was being expunged from the record. I don't have a ps4 anyway so it's a moot point, but eh.

Hopefully this is the last video we get on the subject. We get it, a lot of people are sad about PT, move on already.

There are some solid points to PT: the atmosphere is good, the graphical detail is good (according to Kojima they had to downscale that quality to make it look more like an indie game), but it's hardly the second coming of jesus like most people act it is. I'm sure most people were only crazy about the team behind it rather than it being a Silent Hill game. It's hard to get excited about a game we never knew any actual details of. While it surely would've been better than the stuff after Team Silent, it is a low bar when you think about it, wouldn't have been that hard for Kojima to do.

in the dude's defense, this is one of the first videos i've seen that moves past "oh the ethics of it all" and more into the cultural relevance of this endangered thingie

To be fair, after 10 years of The Silent Hill IP being essentially prostituted out by Konami to D-list deveopers, you can hardly blame people for getting excited about a Silent Hill game headed by two people who actually know what they're doing.

On the contrary, I'd say that is one huge reason (besides Kojima and del Toro's involvement and the fact that it's a SH game period) why so many people got so excited and are so heartbroken about this. Since they don't have any information they let their imagination and expectations run wild.

Funnily enough, when that same thing is applied to gameplay it usually is one of the marks of a good horror game.

I feel that is a bit debatable. Maybe it's just the sadness of it all that makes people say they wish Kojima and Del Toro would do a kickstarter now so that they can still kind of make Silent Hills under a different name, but it seems that people were excited more by the collaboration between them and Norman Reedus than the prospect of a good Silent Hill game. Not that that is a bad thing, but still, the most common comment I've seen among people is "I stopped playing after 3".

I meant that one more personally, and in regards to people who didn't jizz all over PT. I wanted to get excited over it, but there were no concrete details about the game for me to do so.
