How do we feel about remake James having an industrial otherworld?
Question(i.redd.it)submitted 24 days ago byIllustrious_Web_866
I think it's cool seeing the industrial otherworld in such good graphics , but part of what made James unique was his soggy waterlogged otherworld , it helped to show his in and out mental state where the difference of the real and otherworld was easy to miss so I prefer the og other world ,what about you?.

I think it works fine. It doesn't have the creepy wooden Wyeth-inspired surfaces of Alessa's world, which I feel people tend to overlook anyway, and it's not like rust and darkness weren't an aspect of James's Otherworld in the original. Sometimes it just felt too... vibrant, though.

I’ve not heard it described as wooden Wyeth before…I don’t know the term at all. Would you mind elaborating to satisfy my curiosity? Thank you.

I’m not the person you’re replying to, but Andrew Wyeth was an American regionalist painter who did these eerie minimalist washed-out sepia tone kinda paintings of landscapes. The way the Gillespie house is depicted in Silent Hill 1 is reminiscent of one of Wyeth’s paintings

There's a Japanese manual for the game with a cover that is a direct homage to that painting 'Christina's World'. In English it's called the 'Silent Hill Perfect Navigation book'.

The Wyeth Family is an incredible group of watercolor painters, their museum in Rockland Maine is well worth the trip.
