Games Like Silent Hill That Are Probably Better Than Konami's Remake
A series of seemingly veracious rumors and leaks have been swirling with regards to new, official Silent Hill content from publisher Konami. While many long-time fans of the franchise are excited that the series may be getting rebooted, others are more skeptical, as there is reason to believe that Konami will not be successful in bringing the franchise to anything close to its former glory. As the spirit of the classic games lives on, though, plenty of indie gamers have been pulling from the Silent Hill well for inspiration, with many of them publishing games that could be better than Konami's rumored upcoming attempts.
The long-time Silent Hill developer and publisher has been floundering for years, and Konami's buggy and unfinished eFootball doesn't exactly inspire confidence from gaming audiences. The company's much-publicized split with gaming auteur Hideo Kojima, while a few years past at this point, is also not the best sign, as it suggests that Konami isn't particularly concerned about artistic talent in gaming. The post-Kojima era of Konami has also been less than stellar, with the company squandering the rights to not only Silent Hill, but other beloved series such as Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania. Now that there are murmurings of not only a new Silent Hill game but also an episodic spin-off and remake of Silent Hill 2, it's reasonable to be concerned about whether Konami understands the art, intention, and vision behind the franchise.
