Of course, in recent times information has appeared that suggests that it is very possible that we will soon have news of a future delivery that, even today, nobody knows what company he will develop: maybe Hideo Kojima (because of the fact that he was at Konami)? Or Sony for their PlayStation? What if it’s Microsoft to have a level exclusive on Xbox? Any possibility is open and we will see which one ends up taking shape.
All Silent Hill games
It has to be said that despite that aura of awesomeness that surrounds the franchise, it actually the Silent Hill are a series of games with ups and downs, with glorious moments but others perfectly forgettable, surely because of Konami’s desire to exploit it too much in a very short space of just 13 years.
Then we leave you all the games that have appeared in the saga Silent Hill.
Silent Hill (1999)
Originally released for PlayStation (PSX), it later had versions for PSP and another for Game Boy Advance, far removed from the original. It captivated locals and strangers alike with its approach and superb setting that made a virtue of a limitation of the console: the fog that covers everything and came in handy to the programmers to save the graphics load on the hardware. Still, look out for Konami! that he knew how to read perfectly what the market was crying out for. Here we will know the history of Harry Mason, who enters Silent Hill to look for his daughter although soon he will discover the horrors that are hidden there and the strange cult that unites the real world with that of the dead.
Silent Hill 2 (2001)
The overwhelming success of the first game on PSX led Konami not to wait long for a follow-up on PS2. Now, we will get into the skin of James Sunderland, that he receives a strange letter from his late wife asking him to go to Silent Hill to meet her in a special place for both of them. As in the case of the first game, the cult that has bewitched the entire town and some creatures that are more abominable will soon appear. A year later Konami released Silent Hill 2 Restless Dreams for Xbox that also ended up having versions for PS2 and PC.
Silent Hill 3 (2003)
After the events that occurred in Silent Hill 2, Konami chose to return to the origins and jump 17 years into the future regarding what we experienced in the first title. In this way, the Japanese skipped what was narrated through the character of James Sunderland and we will meet Heather Mason, who is dragged to the town after living a strange nightmare that reveals to her that she is part of the cult that takes place there. The game came out on PS2 and PC.
Silent Hill 4 The Room (2004)
This game was developed in parallel to Silent Hill 3by a different team and at first there were no plans for it to be part of the franchise, but Konami decided against it. Here, the saga is already beginning to twist due to overexploitation that showed signs of not having fresh ideas with which to surprise the gamers. Still, he had some success despite his decision not to set his story in the town of Silent Hill, but rather in South Ashfield.
On this occasion, we handle the fate of Henry Townshend who lives a horrible episode when, in his own house, a dimensional portal appears that takes him to the same scene of the game. A city that somehow seems to be connected with what happened in Silent Hill. It originally came to PS2, Xbox, and PC.
Silent Hill Origins (2007)
It is practically mathematical that after several installments of some success someone thinks that it is a good idea to explore the origins of everything. So said and done: Silent Hill Origins It is a prequel to the first game., which takes us to the same scenario that we saw on PSX but changing the protagonist. A Travis Grady who seeks information about a girl he rescued from a fire and who does not stop tormenting him every day. This game was released for PS2 and PSP.
Silent Hill The Escape (2008)
With the arrival in the last years of the first decade of the 2000s of smartphones, the companies looked for business taking their most celebrated franchises up to them. Proof of that desire is this game that simply moves us through labyrinthine scenarios where familiar enemies from the saga appear. You just have to shoot them and voila. you already have another Silent Hill.
Silent Hill Homecoming (2009)
Originally released for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC, this game puts us in the shoes of Alex Shepherd, a former US Marine who makes the decision to return to his hometown which is none other than… Silent Hill! The story tells us the pain due to a torment that plagues our protagonist and that has to do with the disappearance of his little brother and the circumstances surrounding that event. It goes without saying that, in some way, we return to the origins of the saga and the strange cult that takes place there.
Silent Hill Shattered Memories (2010)
It was not enough for Konami to have released seven games in ten years (not counting compilations and collections) that they did not hesitate to put another one on sale for Wii, PSP and PS2 that was already too much in what had been seen up to that moment. With this Silent Hill Shattered Memories we are almost back to the first gameboth for the protagonist, Harry Mason, and for what leads him to that damned place such as the disappearance of his daughter.
The game is a replica of Silent Hill from 1999 it just places the action in a kind of alternate universe, with a slightly different development that was especially exciting for true fans of the series who did not mind that Konami gave them a new helping of something they had enjoyed before. If you haven’t played it, try it.
Silent Hill Downpour (2012)
This game takes us back to the town of Silent Hill only now the protagonist is another character completely unknown to the followers of the saga by Konami. His name is Murphy Pendelton, a prisoner who comes to town with the intention of letting us know what his (stormy) past is. On this occasion, the Japanese chose to practically change the map of the city, as well as many of the most iconic and well-known scenarios of the franchise. You have it for PS3 and Xbox 360.
Silent Hill Book of Memories (2012)
Until today it is the last release of the franchise, which landed on PS Vita and we cannot consider it as a game that represents the saga. This time it is a title in the third person, very close to the hack’n slash and that gives an idea of how lost Konami was when he realized that the hen was no longer laying golden eggs.
The new Silent Hills
They have taken their time, but Konami finally reopened the trunk of surprises. Silent Hill returns with several new installments, including a remake and an interactive movie. This is all we know so far:
Silent Hill 2 Remake
Following the trail left by Resident Evil with its remakes that have fit in so well with the public (new and veteran), it seems that Konami is going to try the same strategy with that saga that shared prominence with the Capcom zombies quite a few years ago years. This is how this remake of Silent Hill 2 arrives, a version that will come exclusively to PS5 during the first year and also to PC.
As previously rumored, the development falls into the hands of Bloober Team, a team that we already know after the great The Medium (which was already a tribute to Silent Hill).
Silent Hill Townfall
The second surprise came at the hands of Annapurna. Yes, the creators of the famous Stray kitty game are moving on to psychological terror with Silent Hill Townfall, which will be brought to us by the No Code studios in this new installment closely related to the original Silent Hillbut with game mechanics that will have nothing to do with the classic survival horror.
Silent Hill f
The original Silent Hill marked a before and after in survival horror, but like good Japanese, Konami has needed to take it home to round off their work. And it is that while the original Silent Hill was located in the United States, this new installment called Silent Hill f plans to propose a similar story, but now set in the 1960s japan.
Silent Hill: Ascension
The most amazing announcement yet comes in the form of an interactive series. Very little is known at the moment, except that will arrive in 2023 and that will allow you and your friends to live a terrifying live experience in which you have to make decisions to continue with the development of the story. It is run by Bad Robot Games, Behavior Interactive, DJ2 Entertainment, and Genvid.
