More scary just like Silent Hill 1, 2, & 3, I hope...

Kingdom Come5015d ago (Edited 5015d ago )

...and always will be.

ExplosionSauce5015d ago

Where's Silent Hill 6 and 7? Did I miss something? Lol

Cloudberry5015d ago

.
Silent Hill 4 The Room.

Silent Hill Origins (5?).

Silent Hill Homecoming (6?).

Silent Hill Shattered Memories (7?).

I think.........

ExplosionSauce5015d ago

Didn't know origins counted. I thought Homecoming counted as the 5th game. Shattered Memories was a retake on the first game. I'm so confused!!! Lol
You may have a point with this though.

CrawFail5015d ago

if anything Shattered Memories shouldn't count, with it being technically a remake of the first game brought into the 21st century.
Origins counts as it's a game in it's own right with an original story.

I still maintain though that Silent Hill 1 through 3 were by far the best. The Japanese team and Akira needs to return to the franchise. I hope they can do something good and original with it again as the last few American produced games were total rubbish.

Hitman07695015d ago

Origins was so bad ass for a handheld title.

Etseix5015d ago

am.... Origins its number 0, on japan its called Silent Hill Zero for a reason :|

ExplosionSauce5015d ago

With Shattered Memories not counting, then this should be SH7 would it not?

Also, I heard Akira isn't making the music for this new game :(

Silen Hill has been pretty much gone ever since SH4. I hope this time they'll do it right

Chris3995015d ago

Not my favorite (that would be 1 or 3); but the creepy Oedipus complex serial murderer was interesting. And the last boss was totally F-d up.

5 is where the series really derailed for me. The plot was paper thin (I figured it out in like an hour), the script was terrible and none of the characters were engaging or interesting.

It was the only SH game I didn't play for multiple endings. It just wasn't very scary.

Shattered Memories for PSP/ PS2/ Wii is interesting, btw. Not a traditional SH, more of an adventure game, but kind of cool. Better than 5, for sure.

CrawFail5015d ago

Everything you just said is exactly how I feel.

RIPSKATEDESTROY5015d ago

everybody has a favourite, im sure this one will get theyres too

Natsu X FairyTail5015d ago

Am i the only one that really enjoyed HOMECOMING? The gameplay was a little bit off but the game was Scary!

STONEY45015d ago

Meh, the trailer didn't look very good, and the music sounded really generic compared to Yamaoka's music. I Personally I think 1-3 were amazing, 4 was good, and everything after was subpar.

TheGearsStillTurn5015d ago

I thought the music was good, not scary but good.

Kingdom Come5015d ago (Edited 5015d ago )

I really hope that this game can redeem the franchise, "Homecoming" was a huge insult to the franchise and completely took the fear and atmosphere out of the series. It will be difficult to top Silent Hill 1 & 2, but if the game could achieve close to that standard it would still be one Hell of an achievement. The huge problem with Homecoming was the character, with him being in the military, he was a trained killer, I think with the character in Silent Hill 8 being a prisoner, he will have a huge psychological problem perhaps? Either way, I'm hoping for a much more frightening experience than Homecoming, and let's be honest, it cant be that difficult, I didn't even jump once whilst playing it... but Silent Hill 2, that was a thing of Nightmares. Powerful Stuff, lets hope this can be.

mantisimo5015d ago (Edited 5015d ago )

1-3 were really the pinnacle of the series.

2 was the best of all for the atmosphere/music/story and characters.

4 was OK but I wouldn't really class it as a silent hill, more a distant cousin.

Homecoming was the derailment of the series not very interesting and not very scary either shock wise or phsychologically. (Although seems popular with the newer players to the series)

If 8 does go back to the original creeping character story driven early titles with music/atmospherics to match (even with the new composer)then a day 1 for me.

(I don't want a macho hard head fighter as the hero/antihero either, James was good because he couldn't fight particularly well).

RIPSKATEDESTROY5015d ago

this game will be insane!! i cant wait!!!!!

Batzi5015d ago

I am sure I will love that!

Hitman07695015d ago

Hells yeah I love me some survival horror!

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.

bfrye26176d 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_drake176d 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.

CrimsonWing69175d ago

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

bfrye26175d ago

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

PS3 Prices Have Officially Exploded (and they’re not done)

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.
