It's been a long time since anyone set foot in the relentlessly punishing town of Silent Hill. Games Radar's most recent preview dates back several months, nearly back into 2007, and no other outlet has seen or heard much since. What horrible shapes have been lurking in the darkness since the last time Konami offered a peek? Games Radar have got the answer, spread across three days of exclusive Silent Hill: Homecoming coverage.
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.
Twinfinite: "They said it couldn't be done, be we've tried our best to rank all the monsters in Silent Hill according to their fear factor. Let's go!"
Pyramid Head is my #1 too, despite the fact you don't actually fight him much - and the few times you do are actually super easy. It's all in the presentation & close encounters.
I never thought the monsters themselves were very scary. It was the tension and the unknown, the silent moments that got under your skin that were the most scary to me.
Silent Hill has always been about the psychological horror more than it's gore.
Daily Video Game writes: "Xbox Store has just launched three new digital sales that offers steep discounts on various combat, family, and free to play games for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One, including many Xbox 360 games right now!"
I had no idea Binary Domain was backwards compatible. I know what I'm downloading.
I would like El Shaddi, Afterburner Climax, and outrun 2 please. I am sure that there are other games as well but those came to mind for me right now.
one of the main reasons silent hill was so scary is because of your inability to kill all of the monsters in sight. The game harnessed a level of helplessness that couldnt be found in other games. This game seems to have done away with that and that, to me, is very disappointing.
I am still staying optimistic about this game but it better not turn into a RE game with a different setting.
If this game does not go back to the gameplay it had on first and second time, I think I'll go back to RE again, yes, RE, the one I left when I saw Silent Hill.
ATITD just got dethroned in September for me to make way for the king of survival horror games. My only hope is that they didn't try to ape RE4 too much, because I want the fear that prevents me from completing a Silent Hill game to remain.
This sounds awesome! I really can't wait. I like the early story elements as well.
MGS, GTAIV, Silent Hill and Siren! damnit im soooooo broke this year!!!! and im planning go to Lollapalooza this sucks!!
