AH! (sigh)! What a shame! I expected sh5 to have heavy rain kind of graphics: more suited for the series atmosphere! And what we have now? Nearly PS2 graphics! Even SH3 looked better than this! I used to love the SH series!

If you love the series you would love it for the symbolic stories and atmosphere not just for the graphics. Your not a true SH fan.

PLASTICA-MAN5726d ago

I swear to GOD that silent hill is my second best series of all times after mgs! But those guys really ruined the game, they tried to clone the movie which is crappy! And the atmosphere in sh is all about graphics and sound, if you don't mix it well, you have the sh soul all gone in the air! All the silent hills were about graphical effects that were well translated which made the series unique and now we have a second bad experience like the film!

Arsenic135726d ago

I agree that the graphics aren't top notch like Team Silent used to do with the previous games. But its looking pretty well done so far. The story is quite interesting and i could see how ur skeptical with Double Helix making this game, but im more than sure they consulted the original team from time to time to help stay true to the series. The previous games have a lot of inspirations from films throughout the years, why shouldn't they take a bit from their own film? PH and the nurses have the movie look to them but whos to say that their appearances wont be justified? PH is James creation of what the old executioner of Silent Hill would look, but im sure DH will have a very good reason hes still strolling around with more muscle mass. Don't knock the game till you try it buddy. Im hoping as much as any other fan that this game will be as good and true to the original 4 games.

I actually liked the monsters design, but having just play SH origins(which is developed by the same team), I have to say my hops for this game are low, could Sh3 be the last proper SH we will ever get?

Arsenic135726d ago (Edited 5726d ago )

Origins was made by Climax Studios, Silent Hill Homecoming is being made by Double Helix, who were formerly The Collective.

PLASTICA-MAN5726d ago

I found Silent Hill Origins GREAT but very short!
I hope SH5 won't disappoint at least series basic wise!

Rock Bottom5726d ago

Oh! thanks for the note, guess I was wrong.

Arsenic135726d ago

Its alright dude. Climax is making a secret Konami project tho. Rumors of a Silent Hill remake have been floating around since the project was made aware off. I could only wish for a current gen Silent Hill remake!

PLASTICA-MAN5726d ago

SILENT HILL 1 IS THE BEST OF THE SERIES! I completed it 7 times in all the endings, it is the real soul of SH! PLEASE DO A REMAKE OF IT!

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.

bfrye26181d ago

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.

gold_drake181d ago

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.

CrimsonWing69180d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26180d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!

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.

Auron539d ago

Pyramid head? please.. whatever was in that silent hills trailer is #1

Gardenia538d ago

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.

I had no idea Binary Domain was backwards compatible. I know what I'm downloading.

JayRyu657d ago

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.
