Hell Descent: Gone with the working title of Silent Hill 8; Silent Hill: Downpour has been revealed to be the latest entry in the horror series. Newcomer developer Vatra aims to make this title new, but stick true to classic Silent Hill formula. Game Informer has had exclusive time with a demo of the title, and their February issue contains a 5 page article filled with info. We have summed up the new gameplay features in Silent Hill: Downpour below. Hit the jump for the full list.
A breakdown of the best Silent Hill Characters that inspired and frightened gamers.
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.
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.

Again, seen this coming from the start, glad I already bought everything I wanted over the years 👌
This happens to every retro console, there's a tipping point, this is ps3's tipping point
Stil remember selling ps3 titles to buy a PS4. but i keept the ones i liked more. Did the same with the titles of the PS4 to get a PS5.
Silent Hill can potentially come back with this title
Seems good..so far, Shattered Memory is my favorite in the series. That game is amazing.
LOL@shatter memories
game was terrible compared to 1st 3. 2 attempt 2 remake sh1 is one of most awful mistake by crapomi.
this look good tho, this look more potential than sh: homecoming for very sure.
wow what a mediocre name for this silent hill psss , can homecoming getting worst yeahhhh is downpour
"Enemy chase scenes similar to Silent Hill: Shattered Memories return."
"The ability to look over your shoulder and knock down objects to slow enemies returns from Silent Hill: Shattered Memories."
"Combat is similar to the classic titles, but with an Origins-like limited weapon durability."
"Boss battles contain Quick-Time-Events."
"No weapon inventory."
They really are trying to make the shittiest game ever, aren't they?
Also, why are they recycling the worst things from Origins and Shattered Memories? Sequels, in general, are supposed to improve on what the previous game/film/whatever did, right? I don't see any improvments here.
