Konami Releasing Three (!!!) Silent Hill Games in March

This has nothing at all to do with the company's fiscal year ending that month.

No Caption Provided

Silent Hill HD Collection, featuring remastered versions of Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3, and Silent Hill: Downpour, the latest sequel in the series, have been delayed over and over and over again. Are these games ever coming out?

If Konami’s to be believed this time around, Silent Hill HD Collection, Silent Hill Downpour, and the Vita-exclusive Silent Hill: Book of Memories (sporting a first for the series: multiplayer) will all be staggered throughout March.

Yep, we’re going from zero recent Silent Hill games to three Silent Hill games back-to-back-to-back, with Silent Hill HD Collection on March 6, Silent Hill Downpour on March 13, and Silent Hill: Book of Memories on March 27.

Why March, you ask? Not coincidentally, Konami’s fiscal year ends on March 31.

Has anyone explained how the multiplayer works? ...and why?

It's an isometric shooter. The why? I have no clue whatsoever. Like seriously... who is this for? They were better off just creating a new IP for their shooter, since adding the SH brand to it only harms more than flourishes.

That's a lot of chasing after little children. Wait, what's Konami trying to get at?

I will buy the HD collection and maybe the sequel if it isn't garbage like the last couple games have been. Fuck Book of Memories.

Yeah, it's hardly a collection, it's a double pack at best. And like Metal Gear Solid HD Collection the first game is ignored. And honestly, try and make sense of Silent Hill 3 without playing the first game. Seriously, it's a DIRECT sequel to that game, Silent Hill 2 is stand-alone though and the best in the series.

And what the hell is Silent Hill any more? Multi-player? Geezus. Remember when every monster was supposed to represent something from the protagonist's sub-conscious and they weren't just "look the zombie nurses are back!!!1!" ... People may have a go at Final Fantasy or Call of Duty, but I think Silent Hill needs to take some time off, get back the original guys and work out what makes the first three games so good. Hint - it's not the combat and it's not all about the gore.

I played Downpour at the Eurogamer Expo and the demo (at the least) was awful.

I finished Silent Hill (the PS original) five times but got into PS2 too late to go back and play 2 and 3. Will definitely pick me up some HD collection.

@Sammo Except for the fact that Shattered Memories is one of the best, most interesting games in the last ten years.

Can't wait to watch YouTube playthroughs of Downpour. Yeah, I'm one of those who enjoy watching Silent Hill rather than playing. My stress and anxiety levels functions the same with either or.

Fans are going to have no shortage of Silent Hill come March.
