So you want companies to waste time and money remaking all the good PSOne games? That wouldn't be very good for the games industry as a whole. I'd rather see many IPs over remakes. The industry is already flooded with remakes, and it doesn't exactly make for a good impression to an outsider.
No. I said they deserve to be. That doesn't mean I think they SHOULD be. Way to put words in my mouth..
Anyway- to me, Silent Hill seemed to come out a little too early. If it had come out for the PS2, not only would it have looked/sounded better, but they would have had a lot more space to add more areas and plot devices. Which is something I feel they probably would have liked to do, but didn't have the space originally (especially after seeing all those unfinished rooms- like someone else said- what could they have been for?)
Graphics are not always an important issue. In fact, in most cases I am perfectly fine with old games- but like people have pointed out in this thread- some of the monsters could really benefit from an upgrade to higher quality graphics. Sometimes I think that the graphics give SH an edge, and is one of the reasons it can be so scary; but when I look at the original concept art for the monsters and compare them the the in-game graphics, I feel like they could have done so much more if they had the technology at the time.
Don't get me wrong, I love Silent Hill the way it is now. It will forever be my first SH, a big part of my life, holding many memories from my younger days etc. But to be able to experience again as a remake? I think it really would be cool.
But I should add that I would want Team Silent to be the ones remaking it- I probably wouldn't want it if done by anyone else...
