Silent Hill is all about fear, and a lot of fear comes from isolation. That’s why it’s so surprising that developer Vatra Games had some plans for co-op multiplayer before ultimately deciding it wouldn’t work out for Silent Hill: Downpour.
TNS: “Nightmare fuel to say the least, check out the 10 most terrifying Silent Hill monsters, and what they symbolize.”
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.
''We have basically tried to do something that was two players playing in the environment, but not in the same place. So they could have a part where they were playing with each other, but they were split up, either by events or their decisions. But this is really like something in the future.”''
They read my mind.
''So co-op isn’t in the works currently for Silent Hill: Downpour, but Konami appears to have it on its mind. Do you think that the series would benefit from expanding the player count?'''
It could be something interesting, or it could end very bad, very risky.
Resident Evil 5....Horror Game....had Co-Op, didn't work turned it into an action game. Fail
Silent Hill....Horror Game.....the same will happen. Fail
Dead Space.....Horror Game....L4D style Multiplayer, might not work but dosen't effect the Single player so it looks like we have a winner.
You bring Co-Op into it and it's suddenly not scary because you etheir too busy talking to your friend to pay full attention the to the scary enviroment or they have your back most of the time.
Probably a good sign, not all games need multiplayer. That being said, if the developers think outside of the box, I am sure that at some point survival horror and multiplayer will be possible.
It's just a matter of doing it right really.
Silent Hill mutiplayer???
Silent Hill is dead to me
