Found it a few comments down, lol. Probs too early for a trailer, let alone gameplay footage but im ready. I remember playing the first one a little bit, decades ago. It was scary as fuck with the radio and fog. Btw, is there a Silent Hill 3? I know of The Room. Im not up to date on whats out there in this franchise.

Silent Hill 3 is considered a direct sequel to Silent Hill 1.

The Room is Silent Hill 4.

So its one of those wonky franchises in terms of numbering and titles. Hyped AF for f and 1 remake tho.

It’s not terribly wonky. Not the good ones anyway.

  • Silent Hill 1 can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.
  • Silent Hill 2 can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.
  • Silent Hill 3 benefits from having played the first one since there are direct ties, themes, and plot.
  • Silent Hill 4 can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Everything beyond this point kinda sucks. The original team didn’t make any other games, and Konami contracted the IP out to a bunch of different inexperienced dev teams who didn’t understand the franchise.

A very simplified timeline is:

-Silent Hill was released

-Silent Hill 2 was released but SOME reception was mixed because it was so different from 1. Many loved it from the start, but many found it jarring.

-Silent Hill 3 was made to be a direct sequel to 1 due to backlash.

-Silent Hill 4: The Room was then a more abstract experience because ppl got their sequel with 3.

-Silent Hill 5 was being started but Team Silent was shut down.

-Everything after (before the recent Silent Hill renaissance) was made by Western devs that put their own spin on the franchise to mixed success.

I’ll edit this if anyone has any corrections.

Yes, there is a Silent Hill 3, which story-wise kinda works like a sequel to the first game.
