How much will SILENT HILLS sell?

Downpour and Homecoming didn't deserve half of those numbers. Truly awful games.

OH NO YOU DIDN'T! D:

I went there!

Just a bunch of poorly made survival horror games that try their best to emulate the success and story of Silent Hill 2.

I'd say Homecoming tried for something different, especially since no Silent Hill had deal previously with the "brothers" theme. Alex, unfortunately, was way too OP to cope in Silent Hill, and that quickly decreased the power of the atmosphere.

Downpour on the other hand relies on Silent Hill 1 & 2, especially with the father trait and James Sunderland's clothes. But I'd say the free roaming through Silent Hill is one of the highlights of the whole series.

That's my two cents, though :P

Well Homecoming literally lifted the plot twist and the enemy design from Silent Hill 2. So did Downpour in one of it's endings.

Let's not forget that Downpour's Bogeyman is the exact same idea as Pyramid Head with a diffferent mask and clothing.

Homecoming actually had some really good moments. The first time you arrive in Shephard's Glen was pretty creepy and the music was outstanding as always. I just found the story and gameplay to be terrible. 

But yeah, I'm just rather bitter that the series was left in the hands of Tomm Hulett and his merry band of Silent Hill 2 obsessed droogs. :P
