Man, Silent Hill used to be so good. That run from 1 to 3, and to a lesser extent 4, was unbeatable. Team Silent was one of the best horror studios to ever do it. Then Konami shut it down and started outsourcing Silent Hill to Western developers who didn't really get the series. Shattered Memories, an experimental remake of the original game, was great. But the rest felt like poor facsimiles of the Team Silent games. Bad cover versions of songs you love. Silent Hills, a cancelled sequel, could have turned the series' fortunes around. I mean, it was gonna be helmed by Hideo Kojima, Guillermo del Toro, and Junji Ito. What a supergroup! Alas, Silent Hill remains basically dead, and Konami doesn't seem to know what to do with it. RIP to a real one.
