Silent Hill 5 coming to Revolution! (Not true, false rumor!)

[Weltall]

I do see your point, I just disagree with it. I'm not in argument with the concept of Silent Hill having multiplayer, certainly the aesthetics don't preclude it. However, I do think that the intensely personal nature of each game would make such a thing so far out of the norm for the series that there would be a backlash. All four games have been very reliant on isolation to induce a sense of fear in the player. Many series fans backlashed against Silent Hill 4 for its many changes, and the chacging of such vital elements of the past, like the flashlight and the radio, the invincible ghosts, and the new, very limited storage space. I like SH4 because the storyline overcame the physical weaknesses, but the game itself was nowhere near as good as the previous 3.
