IGN - Silent Hill: Downpour Needs More Work

IGN - There's potential here, but the development team needs more time.

chidori6665342d ago (Edited 5342d ago )

no suprise..

Team Silent, please come back...and make Silent Hill games. These amateurs don't know what theyre doing lol.

Ser5342d ago

All I hear is "Team Silent" this..."Team Silent" that...

They aren't the only ones that can make a decent Silent Hill game, they just set the standard. I'm pretty sure Vatra Games can do a good job if they aren't rushed. I do miss the greatness of the original Silent Hill games, but Penumbra and Amnesia have replaced Silent Hill for me this generation.

GillHarrison5342d ago

The issue is that the studios they choose to make these new Silent Hill titles are usually small minor studios who haven't created anything even close to a major AAA title.

This is not good. I keep hoping we will get a great silent hill game but doesn't look like it will happen. Hopefully downpour turns out for the better but one thing really bothered me when watching a clip. Why when you can interact with things they are glowing? That does not fit in a silent hill game. If downpour sucks... then O well still got the HD collection to look forward too

"but there was just no feeling of impact when you connected with an enemy body part..."

Oh man... I hope they can fix that. Give them weapons some POWA!

Edit: looks like the game was pushed to March 2012, according to those IGN comments.

Blacktric5341d ago (Edited 5341d ago )

Agreed. Melee weapons shouldn't suck in a game like Silent Hill unless we're talking about firearms.

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.

bfrye26919d 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_drake919d 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.

CrimsonWing69918d ago

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

bfrye26918d ago

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