Silent Hill 1, 3 & 4 Remakes will happen

[Broken Devil 2]

I have a feeling it's not going to be last one, if it is a success, expect more remakes to come, 1, 3 & 4.

Konami was impressed by success of Resident Evil 2 Remake and decided to follow Capcom what they did with RE 2, 3 & 4 Remakes.

You'd think but Konami has a recent track record of making awful and even unethical decisions

Capcom even started with an RE1 remaster and port in 2015 before diving into remakes

I hate to burst your bubble but no, the RE3 remake was already in development while the other team at Capcom was working on RE2 because the two games were similar enough that it just made sense for them to do both.

As for SH we'll see, first this one needs to avoid a flop which I hope it manages to do even though I don't think I'll buy this at launch. The rest of the series are more niche titles so I feel that getting an SH1 remake would be comparable to Capcom remaking Code Veronica: something fans would like to see but doesn't matter much for a mainstream audience.

Why do you guys need remakes of everything? The original titles hold up perfectly well and any jank present (hi SH4) makes them scarier/more charming.

They haven't redeemed themselves until these products will work as intended.

The one game that could really benefit from a decent remake would be The Room. It has so many great ideas, but is punched down by their half-assed implememtation and weird technical quirks that disturb immersion at best and are comical at worst.

Done properly, it could be one of the scariest games out there. The other games do what makes them great well enough even nowadays. SH4 is the only one I feel needs practical improvement.

It might break immersion but SH4 without charge attack invincibility frames would be painful.

At the absolute very least, some proper modern ports of SH3 and SH4 would be nice to have.

SH1 they could wrap in an emulator and bundle with SH3.

Wouldn't really be a franchise resurrection, if not all of the mainline entries are available in some form at least.

That's not going to happen for various reasons:

- They already tried remastering SH2 and 3 once, it failed because they approached it in a bad way. It could be approached differently with a much better result but that's not how the industry works and especially not how Konami works, they won't step in the same puddle twice.

- SH1 is in a state a lot of PSX titles are too: simply providing an emulated copy wouldn't work because the game is far more problematic than that. SH1's PSX performance isn't exactly great and an emulated release would inherit all of that thanks to how PSX emulation works. So a proper release needs work but companies like Konami don't see the value in a PSX game because the dated graphics is a turn off for a mainstream audience. They won't even spend peanuts on a port.

- Considering the voice acting issues the SH2 and SH3 remasters faced chances are those issues still exist. That makes something like what they did with SH4 (let GOG release a fixed version of the original PC port) impossible without spending money on solving the problem and they won't spend money on decades old PC ports.

And considering how dumb these things can be it might even be the case that the SH2 remake exists because Konami hates Guy Cihi so much that they'd rather just remake the whole game on the cheaps with a Polish developer instead of giving that guy any more money.

Have you watched Christophe Gans latest interview?

Director of Silent Hill films said in interview that Konami saw Resident Evil 2 Remake's success and decided to do the same.

I mentioned 3 and 4 just because they were/will be a guaranteed success financially and that is what Konami want.

Again I hate to burst the bubble but SH3 and 4 basically flopped even back in the day so comparing SH to RE is flawed for a lot of reasons. When it comes to making big money you can easily remake at least 3 entries of RE because:

- RE2 was a landmark title on the PSX that sold a ton
- RE3 was a similarily successful sequel
- RE4 is widely regarded as one of the best games ever made and it also sold a ton of copies.

SH sales? Not even close to that and only SH2 managed to broke the "mainstream barrier". If Konami ever cared about completeness they would have started with remaking SH1 instead of 2.

Just tell me, What guarantee you that in under 4 years from now Konami won't announce a new remake after Silent Hill 2.
