Homecoming to be the last in the series?
Moderator: Moderators
Yeah if it was to end I would like it to do so with a stand alone like Silent Hill 2 with some more answers about the force behind the town, and something less predictable than the last games. If not then they could have an approach where we face the grand finale with the Order.EileenGalvin wrote:No, I don't want them to end it, because if it ended I would want it to be with a game that is ZOMG INCREDIBLY AWEZOME!
Either way I would like to feel closure without the events having to stop and still not knowing all the answers. It simply can't end without completely catching us off guard and making an impression. Basically like the two first ones did.

I can't deny I would be a little sad to know I wouldn't be able to return for a new experience, but the past few games just haven't been what they could have. If they made any more, I think I'd want the old team back - but we all know thats never going to happen

There has got to be another one. But I think next time they should do something a little different like they did with The Room (yeah i know it wasn't meant to be a silent hill game)
Also next game the main character should be a woman, we've only had Heather so far.
If a new one is made I think it will come out in 2012.

Silent Hill is just a series you never want to see end but you know it has to, like Halo. i dont think the creators will ever strike the cold chilling cord they made with Silent Hill 1-4. i personally have only played SH 2, 4, and 5 (2 was the best out of all those). i dont want the series to end. emphatically. but one day, it will have to. until then: NOOOOOOO! *screams bloody murder*

For a while now I've been of the opinion that Silent Hill really should have just ended with 4. Not just Silent Hill either. I don't think any series should have more than 4 games (with a few exceptions). 4 games should be enough time to tell a story. Series that suffer from sequelitis and/or remakilus end up trivializing the original concept. Continued exposure blunts the impact of the concept, to the point that the concept becomes stale and tired (as I felt it had post-Homecoming).
We've had the Alessa arc and seen it promptly beat into the ground. We've had stories focusing on the various tangents of the Order. And we've had a story that tells of how the Otherworld can affect a guilty conscience. A good author knows when his story has been adequately told. I think Yahtzee said it best when he said: "Maybe if the original creators of something don't want to continue it, then you should listen to them."

I hated the idea of a remake only in that I was worried it would muck with canon. This has been clearly stated as a non-canonical reimagining based on SH1 more than a remake. It's like Stephen King's two books The Regulators and Desperation. Same characters in different roles connected in spirit only.
Since this game will not replace the events of SH1, I am authentically excited about it. I'm also excited about the fact that ALL continuity can be discarded and Climax can really do whatever they want in the game. It leaves me not knowing what to expect, and thus I am looking forward to being surprised by a SH game.

Nahhh we all know not that Shattered Memories is being released, albeit a bit different than the other game but still, it'll be awesome right?
[quote] I love the Silent Hill Series. The Games: Homecoming, Origins, and Shattered Memories, did nothing wrong whatsoever, they were developed well, and did things different. Just because they were not by Team Silent doesn't mean that they're bad games. I believe in this series. I Believe that one day, we can have a game that will make all Silent Hill fans Happy. I believe that Silent Hill 8 can achieve this.
Team Silent may be gone, but their Series isn't. Instead... it's here, it's alive.[/quote]
Put this In Your Sig If you agree :)

I often think that sometimes the game should have ended after 3.. because afterwards it doesn't really follow the story (same charecters or related .. ) I know in the room they had walter sullivan, and a sunderland in there.. But it still looked like they were pulling out ideas from they're behinds... but if you don't pay attention to the full story as to the individual story and basically just silent hill as this hell town... then it's fun.. no matter what.. FOREVER! I hope they don't stop...EVER!!

So, technically, Silent Hill: Homecoming may still be "the last in the series," considering Silent Hill: Shattered Memories isn't a part of the series proper.

In my experience, some of the best ideas I've ever had manifested themselves while taking a [expletive deleted].

Resident Evil 5's ending failed mostly because they turned Wesker into a Final Fantasy villain, complete with a god complex and a transformation into a second form with tentacles.
Clearly, the Silent Hill property isn't going to die anytime soon, since there's (with Shattered Memories) a game every year. The question now, I suppose, is whether Homecoming is the last game of the main timeline.
I expect not, but being able to do whatever you want with the story is extremely attractive, especially if you have a shred of creativity.
