The Silent Hill Collection (PS2)

Product Information

The player characters of every Silent Hill game have access to a variety of melee weapons and firearms, with Origins and Downpour also featuring rudimentary hand-to-hand combat. [79] Shattered Memories is the sole exception: it is designed without combat and based around evasion of the creatures. Another key feature of the series' gameplay is puzzle-solving, which often results in the acquisition of an item essential to advance in the games.

PAL/Japanese releases are just a bit more expensive than German releases and do feature English dubs as well. Silent Hill 2 to 4 also have English subtitles making them a cheap option to acquire the game. Unfortunately this doesn't account for Silent Hill on the PS1.Which renders it more as a collector's item and is only suitable to people who speak/understand Japanese text language.

Before Climax Studios started working on what would later become Silent Hill: Origins, they had originally pitched a different game idea to Konami in 2006. Intended to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive, the proposed game would have taken place in Arizona and starred protagonist Father Hector Santos. The priest would have utilized water, a major motif in the game, to perform "holy rites and rituals". The proposal never received a greenlight from Konami, and it was reimagined as an original title called Broken Covenant, but that too was eventually shelved. [35] Cold Heart [ edit ]
