Resident Evil v.s. Silent Hill

I like both of em..
But RE is more fun to play and silent hill is more of a mind bending game...

Don't get me wrong...I play both of them but I like to fool around blowing up zombies with the rocket launcher!!!

All though you get like a light saber in silent hill 3....which was tight...

resident evil i think is better personally. silent hill is good though.

re just has more class about it. i like 3 the best really, the new one isnt that good.

Well I like both titles, because both of them scared the crap out of me! i never got to play the RE remake on the cube, i wish i did, it looked awesome and i could tell if i did i would have shat my panties, which is always fun, without the shat.

Resident evil is the better series, it lost its creepy feel tho IMO, Silent Hill is definetly the "scarier" title

Silent Hill is infinitely creepier. Resident Evil is still the better game though.

BackFire has just solidified this thread. its official

Resident Evil=better game

Silent Hill=can literally make you leave the hall light on

RESIDENT EVIL OWNZ SLIENT HILLL!!!

I played Silent Hill 2 & 3, and I know that there's 2 different time lines, which to me is f*ckin ridiculous, but I like the visual terror of 1 & 3 more then the damn psychological horror of 2 & 4.

RE I absolutely love, and forever will. I never got so many nightmares, and loved a series so much at the same time. My love for the original trilogy, and hopefully 4, makes up for the fact I almost hate Zero and CVX being so gross.

But that is why these kind of series will always be around, because it's competition between companies, much like Jak & Daxter, and Ratchet & Clank also.

What the hell is the new one?

What are you talking about?

RE2 is the best one so far...

Code veronica was good too but it was the hardest one...
Dead Aim was fun for a little while but way to easy and the new one for the PS2 online just sucks!!

RE4 is the NEW RE coming out, and Outbreak is awesome, you must have to play the PAL bulls*it version with no online.

CVX WAS SO EASY!!!!! If you think CVX was hard, I suggest you don't play REmake or Zero, Zero's hard is the hardest difficulty out of all 6 games in the initial series, Dead Aim is very simple, and boring now, and Outbreak isn't that hard, but still very fun.

Pick one:

RE:Zero (GCN)
RE/DC (PSX)
Resident Evil REmake (GCN)
RE2 (PSX/DC/PC/N64/GCN)
RE3:Nemesis (PSX/DC/PC/GCN)
RE:CV(X)(DC/Ps2/GCN)
RE: Survivor (PSX)
RE: Survivor 2:CODE:Veronica (Ps2)
RE: Dead Aim (Ps2)
RE4 (GCN)
RE😮utbreak (Ps2)
RE😮utbreak:File #2 (PS2)

Silent Hill (PSX)
Silent Hill 2 (:Restless Dreams)(PS2, PC, XBox)
Silent Hill 3 (PS2, PC)
Silent Hill 4:The Room (PS2, PC, XBox)

Pick one, first what series you mean, then out of the list of games for the console, Resident Evil 4 is the NEW GameCube game, coming out January 11th, 2005, RE😮utbreak is the NEW Ps2 one, and File #2 is due out in early 2005.

so I dont get it.. how can silent hill be scarier, but RE be the better game?.. isnt that sortof an oxymoron?.. I thought they were contending for the crown of scary games?.. 😑

Scary? Ah..it's a tough one. I'd have to vote for the Silent Hill series, but RE really is snapping at its heels. They're that close.

Because Silent Hill focuses more on horror, then decent gameplay, where as Resident Evil has amazing gameplay and horror.

I hate the controls for Resdient Evil, for gamecube. So annoying when you're trying to run from a zombie.

I love the controls on GameCube, Type A is the best I think, just hold B and juck the zombie, or zig-zag by it, I hate the controls on PSX/PS2.

i remember when i first got the original RE for the psx, and i got home from school, slapped it in the drive, and had a jolly good play. man, the bit at the beggining where the dogs bust through the windows, that made me shat myself, and it was only about 3:45 in the afternoon!

but then i couldnt play silent hill 1, i found the demo hard enough to play, where your in the school, that was hella scary.

amazing horror?.. or just horror? because personally I found that after RE2 that the re series lost all of its scare factor completely... it felt more like an Evil dead episode

Amazing GAMEPLAY, and awesome scares. You need to play REmake on GameCube, put in Invisible Enemy mode, even if you memorize enemy locations you'll still almost sh*t yourself scared throughout the entire game. Zero has it scary parts, but I respect it fully for it's Hard difficulty being the most difficult mode I ever played throughout RE. RE3 was ridiculously scary due to Nemesis, I suggest you stop playing in the SUNLIGHT, and play at nightfall with no lights on, blinds closed, and a house full of shadowed objects.

The original RE was horrific for me, I was 12, and I played 2 first, and I had to stop being before the Licker, when I saw him crawl by the window, I turned off the PSX. But I got it that Christmas as a gift. 😆 Then later on I got the Greatest Hits version of RE1, and it was horrifically scary for me.

I remember when I was 12 after that Christmas, and I had half-days w/ my friend got parent-teacher conferences, I went over his house everyday, and every weekend, and we worked through all 4 scenarios, and one time during Leon B, we woke up at 5 am, and he played RE2, and Mr. X mutated gutted Leon, and I screamed! He was laughing his ass off and telling me to be quiet. 😆 Then I woke up later and his sister was throwing jelly beans at us. 😱 😆

As always Gameplay>Graphics, which is what makes Resident Evil better then Silent Hill, Graphics are pretty, but Gameplay is the heart.
