Today is definitely a day of relief for owners of Silent Hill: Downpour.
A breakdown of the best Silent Hill Characters that inspired and frightened gamers.
The sirens are sounding again, beckoning you back to the foggy ghost town as we rank all the Silent Hill games, from the chilling classics to the misguided missteps.
I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.
Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.
Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.
silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.
for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.
No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.
GF365: "Silent Hill 2 is the sequel to 1999's Silent Hill, and it was released in 2001 by Konami. Here's why Silent Hill 2 is one of the best survival-horror games of all time."
i played a couple of months ago for the first time.
i agree that its a great survival game, but i think the minute u realise you can "kill" them, its takes alot of the initial fear out of it.
the same thing happened to me in Siren Blood Curse.
but its definitely one of the best games, when you start looking into the lore and the symbolism
Never played it. I had moved on from PlayStation since then. So looking forward to the remake. Hope it’s not too cheesy tho.
I've just brought the silent hill collection for the ps2 and absolutely loving it
Cool, glad they improved on Silent Hill: Downpour with the patch
Awesome. Glad I waited a bit before getting too far into SH3. Now I can beat it after I patch it and move onto downpour.
Ps3 coming at a later date.
if the PS3 patch drastically improves the game's performance. Downpour is one of my favourite games of the year, but it was really blighted by the myriad of technical faults and glitches that were inherent throughout. If the frame rate is kept sturdy and the subway glitch is fixed, I'm happy to play through it again during this Halloween season.
Damn, why the wait for PS3 patch?
Could'nt they have used 2 teams to simultaneously apply the patches?
I sure would've liked to play this just before Halloween...
