Silent Hill was always the psychological answer to Resident Evil's survival horror, but since the series moved out of Japan after SH4: The Room, and into America, the series has dwindled in quality quite spectacularly with Homecoming, Origins, shattered Memories and Downpour, all of which were poorly handled and fundamentally misunderstood by the western developers who produced them.
Add to that Akira Yamaoka stepping down as a producer and the genius behind the music which gave the SH series so much flare and you have a burnt out husk of a franchise with a terrible movie (talking about the second one) and now a game with the SH title slapped on in order for it to sell (talking about the Vita's Book of Memories dungeon crawler) to add insult to injury.
So, is Silent Hill a franchise that has sank too far? Are there too many underwhelming installments as opposed to good ones now?
Do you still consider yourself a Silent Hill fan if ever you were one?
Do you think the series could come back stronger or do you see the end in sight?
