Silent Hill: Downpour

[tittiemcnuggets CLOSED ACCOUNT]

Staying true to the franchise's original roots, this eighth installment of the Silent Hill franchise returns with an all new thought-provoking horror storyline. Players will once again find themselves face to face with their deepest sins and fears in the strange world of Silent Hill.

The survival horror experience begins after a prison transport vehicle careens off the road, leaving lone inmate Murphy Pendleton stranded in Silent Hill. Gamers will encounter mind-bending puzzles, as well as horrific creatures and other world terrors using everyday objects from wooden chairs to glass bottles to fend off their enemies. The natural response, fight or flight is left to the player as they unravel a dark, thought-provoking storyline which will appeal to fans of the early, classic Silent Hill series, as well as anyone who enjoys a deep, psychological horror experience. In addition to the main storyline, players will also be presented with variable side quests along the way that can change depending on their play style, revealing unknown evils within the town.

Never liked SH tbh. :/
The only one i played is 4 and it looks like the games arent for me after playing that game.

Absolutely loved Silent Hill up to The Room. I think I will just wait this out until it is $20...and a dry season.

[Shirayuki Mizore]

Well I played a few Silent Hill and I really wanted this one.

It got a 7 out of 10 by Game Informer though. My friend [a huge SH fan] said the combat system sucks ass.

So I'm going to wait until it lowers.

Totally almost bought it today, but got Mario Party 9 instead.

Totally almost bought it today, but got Mario Party 9 instead.

Mario Party and Silent Hill are pretty much the same game anyway.

Watched a couple video reviews and they all just complain about the combat, but since was combat that great in SH? Maybe Downpour does not bring the franchise back to prominence, but maybe I should not be jaded by reviews. But so many other great games on a higher level are coming out.

Being a huge RE fan, it's practically my duty to hate Silent Hill games, but I am a shame to the RE franchise and actually like a few of the SH games.

I would pick it up, if Operation: Raccoon City wasn't coming out Tuesday and taking over my life.

[THE JOHNNY ROOK]

There was something about when the original came out that had a spookier edge over RE for me. That atmosphere was to get lost in.

i remember my friend told me that silent hill 2 was like the scariest game he had ever played and he knew i was all into re games so he said i should get it, so i got it and was kinda disappointed. it wasnt scary at all. can someone tell me if the silent hill games got any better since then?

[Empress]

I've honestly never played a SH game(besides the demo to the first game ages ago). I am interested in this one. Maybe I'll play it eventually. I also want to get the revisioned original for the wii.

[TesusJits]

If it's a horror, I AIN'T PLAYIN'. I love games like this but I never have the guts to play them. I always YT a play-through and take it from there.

I was going to get this and the HD Collection, but both have received a bunch of negative reviews. Too bad, I really wanted to play SH2 in hd. Book Of Memories also looks quite awful. WTF is wrong with Konami?
