One of the best plot twists I've seen in a game. This song fit the scene perfectly it captures the mood of the scene and makes you nervous as you find out the truth behind everything. I like the leitmotif in the evo version of Silver Will, but the original is really great too.
I think the OG feels a bit more claustrophobic, what with Joshua’s past closing in on himself. He feels cornered by these revelations. I also agree with you on the whole forward facing portrait thing, it really manages to convey how menacing Weissman is. It’s honestly amazing how such a small change does so much.
Ooh claustrophobic is an excellent descriptor to use! Yeah those portraits really did their job. Even all these years later they're still stuck in my head. Sadly something 3D models can't really replicate too well.
From the way I was not paying attention, I would say the OG is more dreadful and the Evo version has more of a somber tone to it. But this scene is really so damn good. I can not wait until the other guy gets there and cries himself to sleep until he buys SC. That scene was so impactful despite the fact I already knew it existed. But seeing it play out in real time was just insane. Poor Joshua. My boy. Estelle really was the best thing that ever happened to him. I feel like this scene puts Joshuas actions in SC into another light in that he does the things he does, because he wants to protect Estelle from Weissmann. Like damn, my poor boy Joshua. Just wait until the other guy gets to his backstory. Manly man cry at these revelations. Even me.
Trick or treating is definitely an American thing. It started to spread in Europe in late 90s early 00s, but yeah it didn't last long and it's been at least 15 years since I last saw one kid doing this. Back to the OST Idk I like both pretty much. But I feel like my nostalgia is always screaming to put the original at the top just because.
It's definitely getting phased out, or at least it's not being done how it used to. Which is kinda sad to think about. Nostalgia is always a hard mountain to overcome. Why do you think I called it "Nostalgia Drive" xD double meanings, away! 🦸♂️
