It's been a long time since anyone set foot in the relentlessly punishing town of Silent Hill. Games Radar's most recent preview dates back several months, nearly back into 2007, and no other outlet has seen or heard much since. What horrible shapes have been lurking in the darkness since the last time Konami offered a peek? Games Radar have got the answer, spread across three days of exclusive Silent Hill: Homecoming coverage.
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.
Ther guys jacket looks really real in some lights, but the rest of the time, the game looks very basic. The Water looks like mercury...
is gonna come out of the water and grap you.
doesn't look as good as i thought it would, love the silent hill games, hope this one ends up nicey nice. gotta love the radio static!
yeh this has a ps2 multiplatform release look on it...you'd think silent hill would be able to push graphics...it was one of the best looking last gen in opinion...and this looks exactly like that...
Definitely better than ps2 graphics, but you can tell there is a ton of work to be done on this title. Still it looks like these new devs are going to retain the creepiness of the franchise, which is the main concern.
