Hell Descent: Devin Shatsky, producer behind Silent Hill: Downpour stopped by our very own forums today to explain how Downpour‘s subway system will work. There has been a misconception among fans that the subway system will actually be operational and Murphy will be hitching a ride on the H train to Hell. This is not the case. Devin clarified that the subway system will not involve sitting on a train, but rather wondering the subway tunnels for shortcuts. The subway system will indeed get you places faster, but at a greater risk of attack.
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.
Great news. Vatra is located in a town with catacombs, I can see the influence going there.
