In contrast to the opposite large horror online game sequence of the 90s, Resident Evil, diversifications of Silent Hill have been few. Whereas each video games have been extremely profitable at scaring the hell out of avid gamers, Silent Hill’s chilling environment at all times had a really slight edge over the jump-scares of Resident Evil because of the nerve-jangling, mist-enshrouded storyline making gamers at all times really feel like one thing was imminently about to come back for them out of the mist.
Nevertheless, translating that terror to the massive display screen proved a bit of problematic, one thing the Resident Evil franchise is aware of very nicely.
