Silent Hill 5 is under large rumors lately because of the lack of communication between Konami and the fans. Electric Shock magazine have had the chance to speak with Masashi Tsuboyama, the cheif director, about the next Silent Hill game.
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.
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.
"Tsuboyama-san: Like I said, we only have ideas but we have been assessing next-generation consoles such as Sony's Playstation 3. We have looked at other consoles too but they exact limitations which could delay progress. We have not decided the console yet."
Smells like Silent Hill might go PS3 exclusive. lol
It it would be a given that Silent Hill would be the scariest game out on the new systems (Not including Res Evil since it was more jumpy and blowing things to bits than pure scary) but with Alan Wake coming out it's gonna have some darn stiff competition.
Give ps3 Silent Hill and let 360 have Alan Wake and LET THE BATTLE COMMENCE.....
I'll get both anyway <3
well its old news, dude. Nothing new, people have debated this topic through a number of times now.
This kinda confirms that it will be on the ps3..regardless..
Edit : My best Friend Mart...Read it a little more when they start talking HD graphics and space..from that perspective you can see that they are clearly talking about blu ray and the standard HDD thats ps3 again..Im pretty sure that it will appear on 360 also but wat he says most favors the playstion...( LOOK MART)
"but we have been assessing next-generation consoles such as Sony's Playstation 3."
CONSOLES SUCH AS
It's more then one console and it's 'such as'.
@ Xbot_Killer (above)
Read what you want to read dude:
"We have not decided the console yet." and "The Xbox 360 is definatly a candidate."
Which implies, it could be 360 exclusive also, no PS3 version. MOAHAHAHA
Plus, the PS3 sells like sh!t also in Japan, thus, there is only one thing to know:
PS3 just over 3 million users out there.
360 in June they'll reach the forecasted 12 million units sold
That's about 4 times as much consumers to buy the game.
SH5 will be multiplatform for sure
@ Truthhurts (below)
Sorry to burst your bubble dude:
"but stop saying it because of the numbers of 360s, that can change quickly."
How is that possible with the PS3 selling 130k two months (feb/march) in North America, while the 360 sold then between 200k and 300k. The 360 never hit anything close to 100k like the PS3 did.
Plus, april, the PS3 hit an alltime low on 89k a month in NA, 32k in Japan and Europe will be about what NA sells. That's what, 200k world wide.
The 360 sells that about every month in NA alone.
How will the PS3 be able to get even with the 360, if it sells less world wide?
Plus, the 360 now has a lead of 7 to 8 million. You can count, I may hope so. That's 7.000.000 to 8.000.000. Count with me. The PS3 must outsell the 360 for straight 2 years with at least 300k a month world wide to catch up on THE CURRENT 360's sold. The 360 ofcourse also keeps selling units in the mean time, so the difference will even get higher.
Tell me Truthhurts. If the PS3 sells about 200k world wide now. The 360 sells more then that (with NA alone between 200k and 300k monthly)... You really believe it'll catch up?
Sorry to say, the 360 now has the position the PS2 had last gen. First out, most units out, more interesting for developers, thus getting most exclusives and most multiplatforms
EASY. Done case. If you don't think so, give numbers, calculate how they will catch up
@ fenderputty (below)
Another comment that says nothing. Come with facts, counteract. Read up what I wrote. It's not paste copy, 7 to 8 million units to catch up, how long does that take? Even with higher PS3 sales when some games will be released? Try to get a real, smart comment please, because all you do now is putting the head in the sand and say: I don't see anything, I don't hear ya
EDIT fenderputty at last someone at least tries
"BTW: 7-8 million lead? 12 million units sold? Where do you get your numbers."
Logic dude. The 360 SHIPPED 10 million half november when the PS3 launched. Shops don't keep large stocks anymore. They get in and sell. Thus, those 10 mln. were shipped shortly after that. At the end of 2006 or at least beginning 2007, 10.4 million were SOLD.
VG charts are just as dumb or good as nexgenwars.com.
The 360 sells between 200 and 300k a month in NA. That means, up till now, 5 months x 200 to 300k only NA. THat's 1 to 1.5 mln. Get Europe, rest of the world with that, another 1 to 1.5 mln. That'll make 12 to 13 mln. sold.
The PS3 had a good launch, especially Europe. I'd give you that. But after launch it drops. HARD. I shouldn't have to go there again, should I? Read above. About 200k a month world wide is a JOKE
Wait another couple of months and my view will be clear. The 360 outsold and outsells the PS3. Especially seen the 360 had 6 months shortages, the PS3 doesn't... THERE YOU GO
@ Bhai (below)
Devs say nothing like that. Yeah Sony 1st party. Lets take 3rd party, like Epic, asking MS to use 512 MB unified memory on 360 to get Gears running. Ask John Carmack, producer of many good games and the new Quake, he prefers the 360.
There are many, many more.
Plus
"MotorStorm = Great graphics + Awesome physics
Lair = Great Graphics + Insane physics
Heavenly Sword = Insane graphics + great physics....... "
Motorstorm: nice game, but scored just above 8. Lair, Heavenly Sword both not released.
Gears great graphics & physics dude. Many many other games also. All multiplatform games about best on the 360
You just proved nothing. Games prove every day that the 360 is the best choice and Sony only talks about the future. Already for years
EDIT AGAIN
Truthurts
You say, the PS3 is selling in other area's more. Which then exactly? Japan it is selling poorly also. 32k a month. The 360 sells about 10 to 12k a month there. They both do poor there.
Europe, the 360 and PS3 sell about even. What's left for the PS3, Mars maybe?
Plus, Namco Bandai loves the 360, Ace Combat 6 of them is at least (timed) exclusive on the 360
