        It played it safe bc the japanese seethed for 2 being so different from 1. There was way too much upper management meddling. The actual writer of 2, Sato, wrote the plot and themes for 3 but due to disagreements he left konami so that was scrapped. Then owaru wrote a whole different story for heather, but konami had other ideas and they made him rewrite it. While 3 is noice, and I digged Valtiel, the rest just wasnt interesting to me -- mostly forgetable characters like douglas and claudia. The most interesting about it was a joke from vincent which amounted to nothing. Still, I'm not saying it's bad, mind you.

    >2
    A massive leap forward, no cult bullshit. Pyramid Head has been ruined by how over-hyped it is and the ending is so well known even people who never played Silent Hill knows James killed Mary.
    >3
    Does everything that Silent Hill 1 did but better. Since Heather is actually a focal point of the story and isn't a bystander. Also Heather in general is such a fresh take on a horror game protagonist. Although I think the game is bought down a bit by it's inherit japanese origin, that seeps in from time to time.

      SH1 is the best game in the series, and calling it "janky" instantly undermines 2-3 as well, as they play exactly the same.

      2 and 3 suffer of terrible, restricted world design with next to no real replay value nor challenge.
      3 especially is just a pipe runner with no town to explore whatsoever, and only 2 endings.

      And obviously a nu-SH2 gay would pull out "muh cult!!" bullshit and shit on the observer role in the story.

          Yeah, but that's not a flaw, they have specifically chosen it. You are meant to feel like you've randomly stumbled in Hell. If it was Harry's story directly it wouldn't give that feel. It's Sheryls story, and the way you experience it through Harry's perspective amplify its effect.

      SH 1 is a really clean game that plays great even today. There is no padding and the game rewards you for exploring the down with different endings. It's really solid I feel like even a modern zoomer could enjoy playing SH 1 in the 4 hours max it takes to beat it.

      Unreachably subwormic post, as anyone who played 1 and 2 knows that first two things you notice is 1 plays the best of all games in the series, oddly enough but I guess that is what you get when you have a director that cares about gameplay even during experimental times of PS1 and second is that there is a lot of care put in the direction. The thing you can argue about is soundtrack which is really close as both games have iconic tracks and you can argue about the story/atmosphere side which is different and great in both.

      SH1 is about child abuse and so is the whole series. Even SH2 is really about that with Angela and Eddie. James may not have even killed Mary it may just be his guilty feelings that SH takes advantage of. Not that anyone ever acknowledges that. And SH3 is basically an answer to the abuse.

    I came into this thread expecting to see a lot of 4 hate, and have been pleasantly surprised. It’s always been my favorite, somehow managing to be even more dreamlike than its predecessors, and I love all the interesting things it does with the room and how what it is to you changes over the course of the game. Back in the day I was a bit unfair to 3 because I hated how much more mainstream it seemed, having poppier music, costumes, a plot revisiting 1 instead of something original. I should really replay it again and try to give it a fair shake.

              Until Dawn has exactly the same scenario of the player talking to a psychologist asking them questions and the answers the player gives effecting the game, and the twist/final boss taking place in the psychologist's office.

            Angela is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. She has a sad backstory - that's it. She has no development, no arc, no relevance to the overall plot and story.
            She has a defining trait and that's it. She's well done for what is there, but its very little.
            Maria and serves as a macguffing for the mystery. The only complex character in 2 is James. Almost everyone in 3 is as complex as him, and I would say even Douglas is at least as good as 2's characters beyond James.

              she's trauma eating away a person, giving up and running away from its eventual engulfing. she's the opposite of james which manages to battle his demons; there's no arc because she's falling and falling.
              >Maria and serves as a macguffing for the mystery
              the maria/mary dynamic is interesting by itself no matter how linked they are to the protag. along the way maria is a thoroughly fascinating and memorable character.
              For a character to be such there's no definite rules like arcs, etc. Stop forcing that.

                That's my whole point. The characters in 2 exists mainly to prop up James arc. By themselves, while well executed, they don't have much going on.

                I don't find Maria interesting on her own at all. IMO the domestic situation between James and Mary, while cool in the sense that we don't get much of those in games, isn't anything special either. IMO the strength of 2 is the mystery (internal) and how its unraveled, not the details themselves.

              Every character one way or another reflect the themes of guilt, redemption and punishment, each dealing with them in different ways and with different outcomes. Unlike 3 which everyone is centered around the incubator, 2's characters are individuals -- all being relevant to James' ordeal would be contrived and idiotic. You're critiques are of a 3's fanboy.

                No. If you dig what 2 has going on you are correct that all its characters serve to prop up James arc. This is good or bad depending on how invested you are in James and the story.
                In 3 each character has his own goals, motivations, worldview, and is an independent actor in the world, and on top of all that the came weaves all of them together in a cohesive overall narrative. And since Sheryl is the most interesting character with the story with the most depth and emotional resonance, 3's story and character's are better.
                Also I'm not a fanboy of 3, it has terrible level design and pacing. 1 is the best game.

                Because the world doesnt revolve around James in 2, it only ends up echoing how guilt takes many forms. In Sh3 it revolves around solely the incubator. Remember that SH2 and 3 have different rules -- in 2 the town plus each one's psyche creates their own personal hells. In SH3 only the incubator does it (much like alessa) but this time with a bit of influence from claudia

                No it doesn't. The story in 3 revolves around past and how you deal with it in the present. Incubator is a macguffin for that theme, its not the driving force.

              James Eddie and Angela are all linked. They're all killers, and Eddie/Angela reflect different angles of the crimes James has commited. Eddie is the sociopath who is totally responsible and owns it, Angela is someone broken by abuse and is arguably the least responsible (but can't live with it, ultimately, and takes her own life).
              James is a character who stands between the two. Seeing how Angela and Eddie deal with their trauma gives James room to work through his own baggage and how he needs to accept what he's done.
              They aren't characters who come across new trials/tribulations and develop, it's not that kind of a story. The big inciting incidents of the story have already taken place, and we're very much in the aftermath. The development is seeing where they're destined to end up. You're not meant to look at them as different characters, hell even the puzzles in the game tie them together.
              Honest to god anon, this is all on the screen, evident in all their cutscenes, it's genuinely not difficult to parse.

            I guess I never really understand the detest the game receives. I'm not saying it's a perfect game. However, it still has incredibly atmosphere, a 'cozy' rundown town setting, amazing ost, solid enemy designs, including some of the best boss designs/fights the series has to offer. I enjoy the story for what it is, and the twist at the end (even if predictable) worked well.

              Yeah, it may not be as bad as the Downpoor, but it's still far below average as a SH game, and wouldn't be even discussed any more without the title.

              That just means that you started "playing" them after The Movie or something. Team Silent never used him as a mascot for anything, that was Robbie's role.

            Funny that (you) say that because Team Silent literally made a Visual Novel version of SH1 with multiple story routes and endings. Shame that they never made more visual novels based on SH2,3,&4. It's also really tragic that Cybil route is incomplete to this day and will probably remain on some dusty Konami's hard drive forever because nu Konami doesn't give a frick about re-releasing any of the Silent Hill or Metal Gear games, they only reased Castlevania collections for some reason.

          It's an alternate version of 1 with different or additional characters. It's pretty good. It has an enjoyable horror TV show vibe with "Previously on Siren Blood Curse..." recaps and previews, but in some ways it suffers from being released episodically. You have to run through the same maps as different characters a few times. The American version is censored in some way so you might want to import a PAL copy.

    sh4 is actual peak schizo vidya, its just a shame that the game feels so "incomplete" especially on the second half of the game, because i think the first half is genuinely incredibly solid.
    But even with that there's alot of shit that i like on the second part, having a psychotic human following you around in strange worlds instead of a monster like pyramid head was a really cool and interesting concept, the ghost hauntings that show up in your room were fricking kino aswell, there's alot to love in this game and i will always embrace it even with all of its flaws.

    Silent Hill 4 is the good last entry in the series and I'm tired of pretending it's not. The story is great, the atmosphere is fantastic, songs like Room Of Angel, Tender Sugar, Your Rain, and Wating For You are one of the best and most beautiful pieces of music that Akira Yamaoka ever composed in his entire carrier, and the whole game is just incredibly original, unique and creative. It's the last game in the series made by Team Silent and it really shows with its fantastic way of presenting symbolism, storytelling, and atmosphere. The whole game has that one-of-a-kind style that only the original Team Silent could have created. It's really rushed in a lot of areas because of a split in the team at the time and because it only had like 1,5 years of development time thanks to Konami's idea of turning the series into a yearly franchise because of their ever-growing corporate greed but it doesn't change the fact that despite all of it SH4 is still a good game.

    Henry is a great anti-social NEET introvert protagonist that you don't see very often in video games, and Elieen is best girl in the series just behind Heather.

            In first 2 games the town is the main character but 4 deliberately avoids it. I'm not the anon proposing it's not SH in any regards but the whole "Silent Hill 4" part of the title doesn't work since it doesn't play like previous 3 nor takes place in that town. Simply calling it "The Room" or "Room 302" would've been better, like a spin-off of sorts.

                But are you saying that's a bad thing? Consequent (western) SHs did the foggy town all the time ie never approached 4's interesting take nor kino experience. Team Silent did it thrice, with the 3rd game being in direct response to SH2 being hated in Japan. By the 4th entry they figured that for it to remain interesting and fresh (especially for them) some motifs would have to go away or at least mutate.

    4 was the worst of what I played.

        Hm. Also, Heather was raised by a single father. All girls I know that are such are conservative af and Tomboy--ish, so pants would make more sense. Girly ones that paint their hair and wear short skirts and all raised by single moms. Interesting observation, anon

    1 and 2 were great. 3 was just kind of meandering around, re-treading old ideas. Still better than most games though.

    I actually just beat SH 1 2 3 and 4 in a row in that order with no previous experience with the series so let me break it down for you.

    2>1>3>4 is the correct rating of the games as overall experiences and anyone placing 4 placing 4 above any of the others either hasn't played it but thinks it "sound good on paper" or it was their first SH and they have unwarranted nostalgia for it.

    1-3 are all great games and I would accept any ordering of them (3 could be the top because it is actually the scariest for instance) but frick anyone who thinks 4 is a hidden gem or some undervalued master piece.

    It has NO puzzles (core SH gameplay IMHO) the water prison is literally just lining up holes and then there is the phone number from the billboard. that's it. They require no thought or effort to figure out. The actual GAMEPLAY is somehow worse then the first 3 which lets.be honest play pretty rough. They give you TWO guns and they both suck. You have to abuse iframes on melee weapons and it feels terrible. The ghosts are not scary at all. They are a minor annoyance at best and are animated so terribly. All the monsters are just awful and lame. The sounds they use for most of the game are lifted directly from a "jungle animal noises" CD someone borrowed from the library. You only hear the good songs maybe THREE times in some cutscenes. Walter is non threatening and can be easily beaten up if you ever get harassed by him. He glitches out frequently and runs in circles or get stuck in his gun raising animation. THE LEVEL DESIGN IS AWFUL COMPARED TO THE FIRST 3. The water prison is just circles, the woods of silent Hill is like...8 square rooms that are basically copy pasted. The hospital is 1 floor connected to a long hallway filled with wheelchairs(lame not spooky). The subway is probably the best level in the game and it's still repetitive and shitty. The apartments are just boring.

      The inventory system is awful. I like the idea of limits but the fact I can't just throw away things to pick up other things makes no sense and creates more backtracking in a game full of back tracking.

      The murder victims are LOL worthy. Richard getting fried in the chair had me dying of laughter.

      Henry is the worst protagonist ever. You joke about autism but he has literally no emotional reaction to anything. He is worse than a Harem protagonist. Eileen is the actual compelling character in the game and I will say she is easily the best character there.

      Speaking of Eileen, we all know about the back tracking. Actually PLAYING the areas again is awful and boring. There is nothing new. You have to visit Wells in the forest and...I think that's the only revisit with a different mechanic. Eileen is actually pretty competent too as an escort character she can't die and can actually do good damage but they really just make you walk back through 4 terrible levels slightly slower.

      There are no bosses except the last 2 which I thought might be nice because bosses are not the series strong point. Really though the wallman is just a puzzle and Walter is once again not threatening and easy to cheese with iframes. The only tense part is being fast enough to save Eileen for the good ending.

      The story is also super weak. the entire meat of the plot is told through memos which there are 52 of and half of them just get handed to you under your door between levels. You barely see any other character except Eileen. Walter is the second best character but really his motives are held together with dental floss but I'll let that pass as cult stuff in the entire series is kinda stupid when you look at it closely.

        Now the actual first person Room part. People say that's amazing and they love it. It's not amazing at all. It's so boring. Half the game you just heal in your room and save. then the "hauntings" start which are just lame little jump scares. OH NO MY COUCH IS COVERED IN BLOOD! AHHH MY SHOES MOVED!!! UH OH THE CLOCK IS TICKING!!! Absolute garbage "horror" moments. The first person parts are stupid and awful but they give you a break from the even worse third person parts so maybe that's why people think it's so amazing. Seriously 4 is such a shitshow game reading the reasons people like it in this thread make my head spin. Someone said it was subtle or had good symbolism? No it did not, you're thinking of silent Hill 2 or even 3. 4 is just such a pile of garbage there is no reason to like to better then the first 3 it does NOTHING better then any of them.

    What’s the debate?

    They’re nothing alike, each of them is really good for game specific reasons.

    1 is my favorite, 2 is probably the closest to a “perfect” game, 3 has the highest highs; 4 is The Room.

    [...]

    Douglas has as much to his character as characters in 2 - he has a backstory. I think him even helping Heather based on his past makes him having more of an arc than anyone besides James in 2. Even the weakest 3 character has more going for him than anyone outside of James in 2.
    Yes, his backstory isn't as interesting as Angela, and since 2 focuses more on the internal/psychological, its not explored in as interesting a way, but in the end if the day if you compare based on writing and what is there, rather than what is implied/abstracted, even Douglas has more going for him from a craft of writing/narrative perspective. Not to mention he actually has impact on the plot, which most of 2's characters don't.

          It's nowhere near comparable. You unravel Angela's story through interesting, memorable encounters and notes sprinkled throughout the entire game. Like Eddie, her story and personality serve as a perfect foil to James', showing the different outcomes that similar issues can lead to in different people. Getting to peak into Angela's pocket of Silent Hill through the Abstract Daddy boss fight and the burning staircase not only results in some of the most iconic, impactful scenes in the game but also illuminate further on how exactly the town's magic works. The same can be said for Eddie's scenes, but they aren't quite as effective.

          Douglas on the other hand is essentially just along for the ride, not really doing anything but serving as a helper character for Heather until at the very end of the game he gives a brief exposition dump about his son. Unlike Eddie and especially Angela, Douglas' backstory doesn't really have any bearing on the story of SH3 as a whole, it's just a lore blurb that gets dropped in an unimportant scene that isn't terribly memorable. His "backstory" is nowhere near as fleshed out as Angelas. his role in the immediate plot is totally inconsequential, and the manner in which his story is delivered is lackluster. It doesn't help that he's the most cliche "hardboiled detective" archetype imaginable. I love SH3, but it's story is just "okay" and nowhere near as good as in 1, 2, or 4.

            None of what you describe about Angela is interesting or meaningful to me. Not to say Douglas is high literature - they are the same to me, the distinction is in the focus of the execution for me.

              Obviously how interesting it is boils down to subjectivity, but its an objective truth that Angela is far more fleshed out and relevant to the story as a whole.

      What do you mean by polish? I don't think any other game is as polished as 1. Especially in terms of level design and environment, and I would argue even animations during gameplay.

      The thing that separates 1 from the rest, and from other games in general imo is that 1 is an actual work of surrealism, while the rest of the game merely have an influence or moment here or there.

      This.
      SH1 at least attempted to make the TOWN one major draw of the game. Actually getting to explore a believable looking small city resulted much less linear approach and plenty of replay value. The sequels toned down the actual town-roaming a ton, and we've yet to return to the Old Silent Hill areas even once.

          It's not as good as I remember it, it's peak aesthetics, but the plot is kind of a mess and not in a good way, I think it was trying to strike lot's of serious emotional chords and it falls flat on most of them. Tim Robins is still great

    3 is a hallway. Only marginally above movie game. While we're on movies, they all ake influence from them but 3 gets it from Japanese goofy pulp horror instead of kino.
    It would be rightfully rated the worst of all four if not for the waifu-bait protagonist. Yes, Heather is waifu bait the same way as "anti-heroes" are just a subcategory of heroes.

          To each their own, I love the aesthetics of decrepit Japanese mansions like the Himuro Mansion and the Manor of Sleep, and narratively these games have a more historical focus than a psychological one, it's more about learning the ins and outs of regional rituals and how they went horribly wrong. I think it's as good, it's just very different in its quality as they end up quite oppressively dark and depressing in their own way.

            SH2 and FF2 are both overrated but mostly because they're the easiest games of their respective series. Both of them are polished and accessible starting points and the only real thing to hold against them are homosexuals saying they're the best ones because they got filtered or didn't even try the others. But on their own they are both very good games, just not the best ones.

          I liked Spirit Camera and honestly, it was my first Fatal Frame. That said, it is basically spooky Face Raiders and it's only 2 hours long. The worst thing about it (aside from it reportedly starting as a FF1 remake before Nintendo intervened) is that the 3DS camera is so shit that you basically have to play it in daylight so it can read the AR book. But as a game I liked it for what it was.

      Pitting them against each other is completely moronic. Beyond both being fixed camera survival horror there are no similarities. That being said, FF 1-3 are great. The sequels improved on 1s foundation but I feel like 1 was a lot creepier, the ghosts were weirder and less human and they kind of lost that in the sequels.

            This. Since the silent hill games are not available on anything current except for the old port of SH4 on GOG no zoomers are playing them. I hope that SH2 and 3 come to GOG. I don't have my old pc CD ROM copy of 3 anymore and I'd love to see 3 get an enhanced edition patch like 2 did.

            she was unmemorable as frick, the only thing i remember about her is Harry fricking her on a boat or some shit
            [...]
            SH1: emulate it on Duckstation
            Reddit Hill 2: google the Enhanced Edition
            SH3: download it from IGG or some other website and read it's PCgaminwiki page for the patches ad fixes you need
            SH4: get the Gog version legally or illegally
            Origins: emulate it on PPSSPP
            Homecoming: same steps as SH3
            Shattered Memories: emulate it on PPSSPP or PCSX2
            Downpour: emulate it on RPCS3

            Homecoming is on Steam btw. But for some reason you have to play it on 720p or it fricks up. Not really worth it tbh. Doesn't have the vibe of the original games. Way too Americanised.

            The plot of Jacobs ladder is boring af. Everyone only remembers it for the hellish iconography of the interiors that SH3 ripped off pretty well.

            That's because every single SH thread is

            We are never getting a new SH anon. Hideo Kojima fricked it with too much hype at the wrong time.

            God I love American writing.

            Shattered memories was a decent game aside from those Reddit tier sections where you have to run away from monsters and get a flare out.

                Survival horror is an interesting genre in part because the mechanics AREN'T the most important part, tone and atmosphere are. SH in general has shitty gameplay but that's in service to the narrative of everymen stuck in a nightmare scenario. James Sunderland isn't Chris Redfield and neither was Harry Mason, they literally aren't fit for combat. In a survival horror game, it's okay for combat to be shit so long as you have alternatives to solve problems. Unfortunately, this generally means the boss battles are shit but eh, that's a genre wide problem and not just Silent Hill.

    SH1 is the only game that actually lets you explore the town and visit a great variety of places. The otherworld town feels really oppressive.
    Coming out of that SH2 feels like a game cut in half, specially because there's barely any sense of progression until the Hotel.
    Then SH3 comes and does horror the best with sound effects that unnerve the shit out of you and amazing graphics for the time, really pushing the PS2.
    SH4 is a great game, but it is a graphical downgrade from 2 and 3, which is much more noticible because of the first person perspective. The apartment was a great ideia, but it lacks random events, in a way that you are forced to return for inventory management even though there's nothing new to be seen until a location is cleared. It is the game that would benefit the most from a remake.

    Why do Silent Hill threads always turn into shitflinging and comparing everything an anon doesn't like as Reddit?

    For the games, I don't really have a favourite as they each do their own thing extremely well.
    SH1 still scares me with those fricking dogs and I love the slow uncovering of the cult
    SH2 is a masterpiece in interactive psychological examination with top tier music to boot: Mary's letter still makes me tear up
    SH 3 has a spunky protagonist and much more emphasis on movie style cutscenes and characters.

        I found SH4 unplayable, you can call it filtered, but the basic game mechanics are jank to play with. I also didn't enjoy doing escort quests, and having such a limited scope of environments.
        All of this makes sense though from the lense that SH4 was its own IP until around 80% through the developement process where it got kicked into being a SH title.

      People who like SH4 literally never say that it's "the best game in the series" or even that the game is a "masterpiece". They just say that SH4 is simply a good game worth playing and that people who say that it's "trash" seriously over exaggerate all of its flaws and claim that it's 30 times worse than it actually is.

          Nitro rad is nowhere near as popular to be considered an "e-celeb" and his SH4 review is genuinely fantastic.

                I find it funny that people act like SH2 started the enemies reflecting the subconscious thing when SH1 did that. All of the monsters and enemies come from Alessa's nightmares and past. Just because you are a third party exploring her nightmares doesn't make it any less deep. And yes SH3 has that too but it is Alessa again basically who IS Heather.

                Yeah I think people give all the credit to SH2 because they see it as a criticism of a seemingly "good guy" who is really a DIRTY KILLER. Even though in my opinion it isn't certain if he truly killed Mary or just felt guilty for his feelings when she was sick. Some people just love shitting on good guy characters I guess. They love writing long essays about how James is a pervert and Pyramid Head is his inner rapist. Personally I saw Pyramid Head maybe as a representation of someone who raped HIM not as his own rapist tendencies. I find it funny that James always has good morals even through the end but people act like he is a secret rapist killer?

                Originally Owaru wrote SH3 to be more about her growing up before said Birth. The timeskip made it hard to associate Heather as a person directly with the monsters seeing as now the game had to explain first what she went through her life then the whole deal of incubation, how to go about it and stop it. Hence also why most characters in it fall flat like Douglas and Claudia. And Vincent has only a good single line that leads nowhere.

    1 and 3 are almost interchangeable. They are both super good and do different things well. The one thing that maybe gives 3 the edge is Heather. Great character.

      the problem is that 1 does everything in terms of gameplay far better than any sequel, especially 3. The exploration of the open town and especially the different "levels" are significantly better than any other entry, especially 3 which mostly features repetitive hallways that constantly reuse assets. I still love 3, but the subways, otherworld office building, and church are insanely repetitive areas that feel like the same 2-3 hallways over and over, and the hospital is shamelessly copy pasted from 2, although it gets more unique in the otherworld section. I still like 2 best for it's story and atmosphere, but 1 is all killer no filler, and in strict game design terms, easily the series best.

        3 was in dev hell from a while. first its original writer left (the one that wrote most of 2) and then konami wanted a totally different genre, and then they got owaru to write a propper SH but then they asked them to rewrite most of it. hence why it feeling so samey
        >Silent Hill 3 was originally planned to be a rail shooter, not a direct sequel to the first Silent Hill game, as a result of the initially slow sales and fan criticism of Silent Hill 2 in Japan. According to Masahiro Ito, this decision wasted considerable development time and part of the game's budget.

          Considering how SH3 still turned out pretty great, I'd have killed to see it without all Konami's cringe meddling

            if there was no Konami meddling then Sato would've have written its plotthemes again so it would've been closer to SH2 i.e. he wasnt interested in the cult stuff. if Sato still left and Owaru took the reins, what he originally had planned was to go way more into Heather's life; iirc even her growing up.

              Just boiling it down to "cult stuff" is stupid. There's any number of things you can do on the backdrop of the cult. Silent Hill 2 still involves the cult. SH3s plot was kind of trite and a bit silly in how it handled the cult, but 1 did it really well and I don't think its story gets enough credit as a result of the dated presentation. They could dive deeper into occult themes in a really interesting way, just because it involved the cult doesn't mean it has to be pulpy horror bullshit.

                I was just explaining what sato liked to focus on. in his interviews regarding 2 and 3 he appears to prefer leaving the cult in the background as vagueamorphous as possible, and solely focus on it's effects on regular folk with hidden demons. So I'm infering that his SH3 wouldnt eg deal with valtiel nor incubator (at least as it did)

          I know. It's interesting how different 3 and 4 turned out given how rushed and troubled the dev on both was. 3 is much more polished but is extremely short and rather "safe" leading to it being kind of boring after 1 and 2, while 4 is has some really interesting, totally unique ideas but is by far the roughest, jankiest game in the series. Personally I think 4 COULD HAVE been the best in the series if it got the proper time it needed, and I'd have strongly preferred to see their original idea for SH3, instead of just retreading 1 but not as good. A lot of people laser-focus on the post-SH4 games and don't realize that KONAMI was completely fricking over the series as soon as SH2 shipped.

        1 also, to my knowledge, is the only game that does the non-working radio fakeout, which is peak 'shit gets real' horror. It also has the best industrial freakout music.

        Great points. Discussing this series is really hard because 1-3 are so fricking good. I would agree on 1 being the best in design. Exploring the town is an unforgettable experience, which none of the other games come close to. The combat is tense and the puzzles are fun and actually make you think.

        2 is my favorite for all the little things it does. The extremely oppressive atmosphere, James' personality and the way he acts seems weird on the first playthrough, but comes together great when you get the details. The biggest flaw would probably be not continuing the exploration from SH1.

        Also, 1 feels more... ill intentioned? I don't know how to describe it, but the ideas explored in 2 and 3 about you killing ¨monsters¨ are even worse in SH1, you walk the streets killing dogs, then go to a school and shoot children, then say frick it! and go to a hospital to smash nurses and doctors. I know about the lore and shit, but the stuff that's implied only in gameplay in SH1 is fricking DARK

          It was always planned to be a silent hill. after SH2 konami divided the team and one began developing a different take yet still same genre called Room 302 while the other began developing an on rail shooter that eventually became SH3. Silent hill isnt a fixed thing, it can take many forms and the first team played with that idea -- it eventually became 4 the room.

            Meh okay but the original form of SH 1 - 3 is what makes it so special. There are tons of rail shooters out there but not as many classic survival horror. I guess rail shooters are dead too now but still.

              Konami later went back to the rail shooter idea with Silent Hill: Arcade. Despite 2 flopping in JP it was a success in the west so they immediately tried turning it into a huge franchise like RE. Like another anon said, people shit solely on the western devs but Konami was already fricking everything up for team silent since 2001

      Nah, I love SH1 because it's very disorienting, it doesn't give you any plot until near the end of the game, and it does the most to destabilize the player out of the series. I'm always a little disappointed that exploring the town that is actively trying to kill you is never really a focus again.

      All the small moments make it special... remember in the otherworld school entering one door just teleported you to a different part of the map? So many things like that just completely put you out of your comfort zone, you never know wtf is going on and no other game quite pulls that off. The sequels do, but only in moments.

      I love SH2 symbolism too I just think everyone sees it as a character criticism of James. I am tired of that perspective in EVERYTHING. Actually in Silent Hill the world itself is essentially a character too. That is part of what makes it so wild. The world around you feels alive and does strange things like add a floor to a building that wasn't there before. Yet everyone seems to read SH2 as James being evil and bad even though the world of SH is alive and clearly very bad... it is tormenting James using his greatest weaknesses. You even get the bad ending if the enemies damage you too much for too long. But everyone ignores that to talk about how James is a rapist killer.
