Silent Hills Thread

[Kreekakon]

I'm sorry but this line reeks of weeaboo

Have you done research on how well-received each game in the franchise was, and how that correlated with who was developing it?

As Googl said, Team Silent (From Japan) has developed the first four installment, and save for the fourth one, they are all very highly praised.

Later installments were developed by other foreign companies:

Silent Hill Origins: Climax Studios (UK)
Silent Hill Shattered Memories: Climax Studios (UK)
Silent Hill Homecoming: Double Helix Games (USA)
Silent Hill Downpour: Vatra Games (Czech)
Silent Hill Book of Memories: WayForward Technologies (USA) (I'm sure if this one should even count)

I have not played any of these games, except for Homecoming, but I have heard of their reputations. Except for the ones made by Climax Studios, the other game have been considered more sub-par when compared from their Japanese predecessors.

So, yes it is perfectly reasonable for Googol to have said he liked Silent Hill better when Japan was making it, and definitely not weaboo fanboy move.
