Wesley Ruscher: "Silent Hill: Downpour is Konami's latest attempt at reviving the surreal feeling their series was once known for. Let's face it: the franchise has been off its stride with its past iterations, but after getting some hands-on with Downpour I think I might just need to play this one with a friend on the other end of my headset."
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.
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.
The Ghetto Gamer has been predicting and tracking PS3 prices over the past year. The last few months have seen a massive spike in the pricing of PS3 games, and it may be too late to pick up some of the more rare and hard-to-find ones at a reasonable price. Some of these are nuts.
Again, seen this coming from the start, glad I already bought everything I wanted over the years 👌
Stil remember selling ps3 titles to buy a PS4. but i keept the ones i liked more. Did the same with the titles of the PS4 to get a PS5.
A lot of demo previews are calling this game a pile of fail cause it's 'linear' but I was watching the preview on G4 with the directors and as far as I can tell from the creators themselves, it's an open world game simliar to Arkham City where you can go anywhere to explore and you have a variety of side quests too. It's got a robust survival system for weapons and the inventory system is redone. I think it looks cool. Graphics are decent but we are in a need for something scary. It makes me think it's feel the void of Alan Wake's turn for linearity.
agree or not, but I love linear games more than open world
Hard to do an open world survival horror game. Linearity works best for this genre. However, I'm much looking forward to this game. And the HD Collection comes out the same month a this! Good time for Silent Hill fans regardless how this one turns out.
sounding like it could actually be good... but they have to nail the creepy atmosphere.
Dead Space and Dead Space 2 were "linear", so what? Those games were great, great I tell you!
