Silent Hill 2 remake (TBA)

Are these 3 Silent Hill games supposed to release at the same time? If so, I wonder what order I should play them in, since I've never played a SH game.

Nah

I think 2 remake is the one we’ll get first

the interactive story one (Townfall) seems like it’s still early in development, so maybe 2024. the online(?) one, we don’t know what it’s supposed to be, but I can see it coming next year, because it’s probably not much of a game anyway

as for Silent Hill f, I don’t think we’ll see it anytime soon. maybe 2024-2025

If things are done right, like speeding up the enemies' reaction time; I think the SH2 remake can still be scary as hell.

Thanks. Yes, those things would be nice to see to take this game to a different style in the survival horror genre. I'm mostly expecting Evil Within 1 and 2, with that kind of camera and action. Those games are really challenging and live up to survival horror. Not very fun to play, but tense, horror gameplay for sure.

Hopefully a release date on Silent Hill 2 soon, as it's already 7 months into 2023 next week. I'm betting 2024. No real gameplay yet either.

Plus in addition to what Talal mentioned, if they sold them all around the same time, people would be wise to wait to complete one game purchase first, then buy the other two down the road on sale. Rather than all 3 at the same time.

I'm expecting an early 2024 release. there's a leak that claims it's coming September, but since we've yet to see gameplay, I'd say it's BS

either way, I just hope it's a good remake. they can take all of the time they need as long as they give the game justice
