^ all SH games has gun involved, simply picks up the gun can not be concluded to be"looking action oriented". Even with a trailer with Murphy hitting and killing things can not conclude that. Of course how "action oriented" is slightly a relative term as everyone's version of action oriented is different, but to make it "oriented" we have to at least know how much percentage there is involving battle and what kind of control when we fight.

This is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.

It has already been noted that co-op play would absolutely kill any of the 'scare factor' present in Silent Hill games, but there is one major detail present in the series that co-op would completely ruin.

The 'otherworld' is, for all intents and purposes, completely unique to the main character, and reflective of their psyche and personal experiences. Having two characters view the world in exactly the same way would more than likely destroy any possibility of any profound symbolism being present in the game.

The depth of symbolism and metaphors found in Silent Hill games are the only reason that I like the series so much. If they include co-op in the next entry, I won't even pick it up and play it.

@Faded-Myth: I would prefer any of those options ten times over. In fact, I have a lot of really good ideas for making a Silent Hill game in first-person.

No.
