Why Not a Silent Hill 1 & then 2 and then 3 Remake?

[Meow]

Why not reintroduce the franchise to new people in the actual order of release? Also i'm excited to play this.

cause 2 is the "best" according to everyone, silent hill 1 should have been done first cause that is actually the best one but more people had a ps2 at the time so numbers win out. otherworld in 2 sucks sadly and i dont think it was even improved in this

[Lilac Sunburst]

I assume because the first game was already "remade" as shattered memories as dumb as that sounds

SH3 is a direct sequel from SH1. SH4 is linked to SH2 sort of.

[Sengutso]

Part 2 is the best of them all and the only one worth remaking it

do you see Monalisa being re-painted? No, thats why SH1 will never be touched.

Here the official respond by Blooper Team for rockpapershotgun site:

I think Silent Hill 2 just matches our DNA way better," Lenart began. "It's much more emotional, a much more personal story than, for example, the first game or the third game. And we at Bloober were always fans of telling personal stories about people's experiences, people's feelings and how they go through them. Not so much about, you know know, occultism and things from other worlds, right? So I think that was the main reason, basically.
Obviously [our games] feature some supernatural elements, but in the end it's all about a specific person, on a specific journey that they need to make to find out the truth about themselves.

Yeah, Silent Hill 2 is the best match for us as Bloober Team, in terms of our DNA and the games that we've done and that we did previously," Glomb agreed. "On the other hand, it's not like we were making this decision, right? The franchise is connected to Konami's plans.

"So we had this proposition, probably because of our DNA, our backgrounds with Silent Hill 2. And we were very glad to do this version of the game, just because it fits our feelings. Even in our previous games, we were so inspired by Silent Hill 2 in more specific aspects - in Layers Of Fear, which is a completely different game, but having those different endings, it was inspired by Silent Hill 2. Having those small things during the game where we don't tell you that it'll lead to a different ending."
