No matter how many Survival horror games you have played, nothing feels as nostalgic or as fleshed out Psychedelic, bizarre mess as the original Silent Hill on the Playstation 1.
Totally revamped Voice acting (most notably SH3), Re-written Script, totally redone SAVE system are definitely a few of the worthy additions to the already great package.
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.
GF365: "Silent Hill 2 is the sequel to 1999's Silent Hill, and it was released in 2001 by Konami. Here's why Silent Hill 2 is one of the best survival-horror games of all time."
i played a couple of months ago for the first time.
i agree that its a great survival game, but i think the minute u realise you can "kill" them, its takes alot of the initial fear out of it.
the same thing happened to me in Siren Blood Curse.
but its definitely one of the best games, when you start looking into the lore and the symbolism
Never played it. I had moved on from PlayStation since then. So looking forward to the remake. Hope it’s not too cheesy tho.
I've just brought the silent hill collection for the ps2 and absolutely loving it
Here are five worst video game remasters that ruined its original material or at the very least, contributed to tarnishing its good name.
Did people not like the Mafia 2 remake? I got so into it. Thought it was amazing. Never played the original.
Some of these are fitting but I can't help but feel like the author just has nostalgia for the original Mafia 2 here. Dmc Collection on PS4 is fiiiiine its just a collection of PS2 games and the PS3 performance was not amazing. The point is to just have the PS2 games for a new gen of people. Crysis Remastered is also totally fine and has been patched and updated to death since launch. The original version essentially ran on one CPU core and they couldn't fix it let alone get that running on console/switch so they had good reason to do what they did to boost interest in Crysis before the Crysis 4 announcement
Lots of way worse remasters out there lol GTA, THPS HD, that Mario 3D All Stars trash, etc
That's the issue, you haven't played the original.
The new one is slightly better looking but it's bugged af by comparison.
The opening soundtrack, the Haunted school and amusement park, the clearly fleshed-out well-developed characters and voice actors, blood stained piano and rooftop puzzles differentiated the Nightmarish Chaos= SILENT HILL.
DOwnpour really is a big disappointment to the Franchise yet again.
DO NOT BUY THIS COLLECTION! The game is full of technical issues. Just think "Frame rate drop" Collection because that is exactly what it is. Lip sync is way off too.
Totally revamped Voice acting (most notably SH3),"
I sorry, the VA are terrible now =/
If you have any sort of half-decent PC or laptop, get the games for that if you'd like to see them in HD (although I hear 3 suffers a bit). From many reports, this collection is a terrible cash-in designed only to shake a few more desperate pennies from the embattled and weary Silent Hill fanbase.
I haven't played the Silent Hill series before,Should I get the HD Collection or the original PS2 games.
