While rumors have been floating around that Silent Hill producer Akira Yamaoka has resigned from Konami, OSV has received word directly from the composer/producer himself that he has left the company. Many are wondering what will become of the Silent Hill series that he has produced and composed for in recent years. The upcoming Silent Hill: Shattered Memories will be his final soundtrack release at least as an employee of Konami.

I found Haunted Grounds still sealed at a Salvation Army store, but it's the PAL version lol.
I grew up in a country where we didnt have the majority of consoles you guys had in the rest of the world. My consoles were a Sega 16, and a Microgenius (which I think was a knock off Nintendo NES), I traveled to UK once as a child and bought a Sega Mortal Kombat game, but it was a Sega Genesis (or whatever it was called), and the damn game wouldnt fit into my console. I resorted to cutting the edges of the cartridge to get it to fit in my desperation (imagine that)! Lol
Needless to say it wouldn't run it.
Damn lol! Our first home console was the Sega Master System! Played the controllers to shambles, the console is still live and kicking though!
I have some of these games but I have played them. Still worth a good amount though and they’re in great condition.
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.
Farewell Silent Hill, we hardly knew ye.
That sucks. But in all honesty, it only marks the departure of the last remnant of the old Team Silent. The series has already been reshuffled into the hands of Western devs for a while now. For better or worse, Silent Hill is right now a completely Western franchise.
The game itself was amazing enough...
...but he did all of the music also!
Somebody needs to pick this guy up. I'm thinking Euda and his team, possibly?
I'm done with SH
I think Silent hill was going already going Down Hill (pun intended)so no loss.
