I hope this game goes more the way of Silent Hill 2 (best PS2 game EVER) and away from the cult-based storylines of Sh1 and SH3. While 1 and 3 were scarier and had more action, Silent Hill 2\'s storyline is probably one of the deepest, touching and most cerebral in a videogame. It was oozing with atmosphere and had the best supporting cast of the series by far. It also kept a lot of the nastiness of the first game while generating its own flavor and style (James\' adventures into Silent Hill\'s Reverse Side are much different than Harry\'s and Heather\'s).
So far this looks intriguing and I\'ll definitely get it.
Ah yeah, one other thing: Resident Evil, even before it began its decline into the totally unbelievable Matrix ripoff of a joke it is today, even when the series had some credibility and coherence, it wasn\'t even half as scary, engrossing or deep as Silent Hill. Even at its best, Resident Evil was a shameless ripoff of George Romero\'s films... a shallow physical scarefest that relied totally on shock and surprise, completely eschewing any attempt at psychological fright. Even RE\'s gameplay isn\'t as advanced or refined.
But I digress. Silent Hill owns Resident Evil.
