With Silent Hill Homecoming due out next week, composer and producer Akira Yamaoka discusses his role and direction for the title. He says that the team is looking to create a "new kind of fear." He also confirms a soundtrack release for the game, and comments on his collaboration with singer Mary Elizathabeth McGlynn. Lastly, he hints that his next project will be his biggest yet, exceeding even the Silent Hill series.
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.
The thing I hate about silent hill games is this; they're always spooky, eerie, creepy and unsettling at 1st. Then, as the game progresses, all of them too, they get more unscary and just typical. Like, the town silent hill is eerie enough. it looks pretty good... what I hate is when it turns into hell or whatever it's suppose to be. With the metal grates and stuff. It's stupid and it's boring. all silent hill games do it too. They'll start off looking really sweet, expect for 3 which to my knowledge the whole game was set iin hell or whatever. Lame.
I always turn off Silent Hill games when they make the transition from normal to hell world. boring, bland, uninteresting.
