So Silent Hill Downpour looks to be great, but fans of the series have been fooled before with good graphics and have been trapped with lackluster controls and bland plotlines. With a new team looking after this Silent Hill installment, there are just as many high hopes as their are reservations. Hopefully, Downpour will not only revive the survival horror genre, but it will also bring the Silent Hill franchise back to its former glory. Here are some of the expectations that G3 has for the forthcoming game.

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.
Hopefully it's similar to SH 2 or 3.
I won't judge the game until I'll play it myself.. people were bashing SH: Origins, but I really liked it :) so it's a matter of taste..
I think Silent Hill is going to pass up the FF series soon. What number is this 7-8?
