I wrote a piece recently about how Hideo Kojima’s playable teaser for Silent Hills, although pant wettingly terrifying at first, fell flat after an hour or so. It didn’t really work as a game - saying this seemed to anger some people, despite the demo having the word “playable” in its title. It was presumably developed in the same way as a game, too. It even uses the same engine that’s going to power Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Yes, a “game engine”.
So comments like “hurr, hurr, this book doesn’t work as a game”, are a bit misplaced. You see, books are just dead trees with words on, they aren’t moving pictures on your telly.
P.T. may never be coming back in any official capacity, but fans of PlayStation game Dreams might be in luck this spooky season.
I have to emphasize that this is an extremly well made remake, it's the full game with all the content and features plus more. Visuals and sound is very close to the original, this version was recently published. I know there's a lot of predjudice against Dreams, which is a shame and not really deserved, the tool is much more capable than many think.
Just a reminder that Dreams is free on PS+ Premium... if you have it, go download it, and thank us later. It's a truly fantastic game.
TNS: “Nightmare fuel to say the least, check out the 10 most terrifying Silent Hill monsters, and what they symbolize.”
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.
