Don't know about the looks, but a dozen monkeys locked in a room with a 360 dev kit could make a better Silent Hill game than Homecoming.

"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

the clear winner here is Silent Hill 2 for being the best game in the series.

I have fond memories of SH1 because of its great narrative and atmosphere (although not great on clarity). Given what they have to work with they could have an incredible product. There is potential for it go either way since it could be poorly reimagined as well.

Either case graphic really arent the most important thing. Silent hill 1 looked like ass compared to today's games but it still is an amazing game.

I havent played homecoming yet since I am much less enthusiastic about it due to no Team Silent. The develops obviously missed the point by randomly inserting pyramid head without any context. (if there is a reason to have him there, then I apologize for being uninformed)

@theARTIST0017
from what I understand there are a lot of common areas as for as development for the PS2, so it would make sense to just release for both platforms.

Yes I am a fan of the Playstation 3, but I am an even bigger fan of intelligent and rational dialog. (If you are up for an intelligent exchange of ideas, you are more than welcome to add me as a friend)

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future......NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Shouldn't you give us proof for why Shattered Memories looks better?
One big difference is Shattered Memories has jaggies, and lots of them.

Homecoming:

How about not comparing with a blown up image?

Thats the right size... the jaggies you shown comes from the image being blown up...

Im right now playing Silent Hill 2 for the first time. Its good.......

If Shattered Memories has half the atmosphere of SH2 i won't give 2 flying monkey f---ks about graphics.

Dont hold your breath. Western developers have no idea how to capture the astmosphere of silent hill 2. Its just two different ways of doing horror. Konami needs to bring silent hill back to the east and keep it there.
