Series Wars Part 1

Which is Greater ?

Resident Evil ?

Or

Silent Hill ?

Discuss

I guess it depends on what you prefer? I think Silent Hill is much more crepier... I did enjoy the storyline of the RE eries though...

silent hill


too many RE\'s and the stories are all the same

Resident Evil

RE1 > SH1
RE2 > SH2

Then there are more RE\'s.

Resident Evil.

Silent Hill has obsecure and stupid puzzles (RE does too - just not as many). The characters are more interesting. The zombie\'s rock, unlike SH where character design is just plain terrible.

Although I like both, I\'m going to have to go with RE. I don\'t have any real reason for it, I just like RE a little better.

:alien:

Silent Hill, definitely.

Unlike the Resident Evil series, SH actually throws you into a world where you feel like you must "survive the horror."  When you\'re controlling a skilled member of an elite police force, with rocket launchers, gatling guns, and flame throwers at your disposal, I don\'t really get that same feeling...

I\'d say RE. Not played SH2, and The draw distance on SH1 pissed me off, I prefered the indoory feel of the RE series on psone, not really played either of the series on ps2

SH2 hands down. that game really gave me some chills, resident evil is good too, but it doesnt come close to silent hill, in my opinion

never play either so i didn\'t vote....hehe...

Silent Hill 2, the game freaked me out and the graphics had a gritty, raunchy look that was disturbing.  The music intesified the creepy feeling throughout the game.

Silent Hill1.Scary all the time.Not just a few surprising moments.The sound was creepier.And it\'s surprising moments(like the elevator at the hospital,and the cat at the school) were millions more creative than the ones of Resi.It was like a living nightmare.
In RE the main thread were the zompies.In SH it was everything.Satanic unexplained forces.The fog.The shadows.The night.The alternate world.The story behind the town and each location(it made u imagine things).The objects around u.The sounds.The different phenomenons.Konami simply knew the tricks your subconscious plays to u to get u scared and worried when you are alone at nights.

still to get SH1 might ask Miss Money penny to get it for me for X mas along with Parasite Eve 2

anyway back to SH the second one was a heck of a lot scaryer Esp the fact that danger could come from alsmos anywere.

unlike slow stumbeling zombies in Resident Evil

Shame on Capcom for dragging a series out far beyond its shelf life

if they wanted to do RE3 Nemisis then they should of revised the whole system and given us the player some fresh fear.

Silent Hill 2 wasn\'t scary.... at all.

Silent Hill 1 was scary as all hell though.  Which is why SH2 was so disappointing.

Silent Hill was an amazing game. Silent Hill 2 was a pile of dog crap.

As for RE being beyond it\'s shelf life. It still has a lot in it - if nothing else graphics wise. Not to mention Capcom seems dedicated to evoling the series slowly, as demostrated by RE0 and soon RE4 - which is suppose to be a complete evolution of the RE series.
