Silent Hills Thread

[Kreekakon]

If this new one is great it's not going to be just because of some Japanese magic. It's going to be because Konami is giving it the proper resources since Kojima agreed to attach himself to it.

I'll be honest I don't know about how the internal workings of Silent Hill's development cycle has gone over the years, and if talent, or money had a bigger influence in their quality.

My personal theory is that while money did play a factor, the talent of the development team behind it played a much bigger role.

It's too much of a coincidence that the quality of the games corresponded to what studios were making them. Like Silent Hills 1-3 being great, and Silent Hill Origins, and Shattered Memories being "not so bad".

4 I assume was due to Team Silent deciding take chances to experiment with a new formula for the games. They definitely could handle it given their success with the last three games. It's only unfortunate that it didn't really seem to have paid off.
