Resident Evil Series vs Silent Hill Series

We all know that when it comes to gameplay resident evil wins (with the realease of resident evil 4) but when

it comes to horrifying momments WHICH is better? for me Silent Hill because it just scares the **** out of me

(even though i'm a huge fan of resident evil) the good about the resident evil is that they improved in 4 they

really accomplished something that no other game has.

I've played the resident evil series so much, its just not scary to me. So my vote goes to Silent Hill being scarier.

SH

i remember the old days when i was 10 years old and played SH for the first time...:shock:

I like SH because it has a deep story and scare. RE is a good action game.Macolele

i like RE way better than SH, but im not saying anything bad about SH.

Fatal Frame is also a good horror series IMO

Yes, like every one says..... the award for best gamplay goes to RE however if u stop and think......the primary features of SH are as fallows in order of importance

Storyline. Puzzle solving. And then gamplay just to tie everything else together.

RE is the exact opposite. I love them both very much, but what wins me over is a storyline that can really get into ur head and make u think. So ima have to say SE

Well, Resident evil was great in the old times, but now is taking more the path of action than scary/horror.

Silent hill has a more deep scary atmosphere, so I say Silent Hill(specially silent hill 3, silent hill 4 doesn't seem like a real silent hill game).

resident evil=more action

silent hill=more scare

They both have their good points. Resident evil has great gameplay action and Silent hill has a sick and twisted storyline, both also have foreboding atmospheres.

both silent hill 4 and resident evil4 had a bigger survival action feel to them, especially the latter. although they were both considered survival horror games they are very distinct games: silent hill's focus is entirely on its narrative and atmosphere while resident evil's focus is on action - resident evil's plot is one of a b-movie monster flick. this is why sh combat system isn't as good as resi'sTheRocha

Its Rather inconsistant for one to say RE4 is better in all respects. Yes it introduced a unique gameplay interface and was highly entertaining, but you cannot judge a games overall performance by that alone.

But i think this........ regardless of graphical capabilites, there is always room to improve gameplay, Much like RE did with 4 and the upcoming 5. However stop and think about SHs main attraction, aside from the Great soundtrackand puzzle solving, the incredible captivating enviorments, With videogames getting more and more visualy stunning over the years, its easy to imagine how intense SH will become. Just imagine when the time comes, And SH reaches the "Uncanny Valley" in visuals. With the imagination behind SHs development, that is a force to be recconed with.

a worker should do his job to be good. even he is doing different good thing, if he is not doing his real job, he is considered useless.

i dont say Resident Evil is not doing its job but still its not good as Silent Hill. Resident Evil is more like action. also both of these are not good as Fatal Frame too.

for horror games; Fatal Frame > Silent Hill > Resident Evil

The SH series is definitely better.

It is like comparing an A level movie, and a B level horror flick.

Silent Hill is the A level movie, as it is genunely scary and has an incredible storyline and loads of depth that you won't notice on the first run through.

Resident Evil comes around as a B level horror flick because yeah it's fun but you don't really come away any different afterwards due to how shallow it is.

this is a result most likley of people who havent played as much of one series than the other making these comments, not everyone but quite a few. The few of us here who have pillaged every RE game as well as every SH should set things straight in an unbias post. And thos of u who will say "i HAVE played all REs and SHs" should be more open minded asa gamer.ThreeVo

i personally have played them all for both series. I feel as if i was basically running around without purpose in RE series. despite the number of zombies you may kill in a hallway, once you enter a room and come back out into the hallway (yes thats right....THEY COME BACK!) So yes, RE may have better action which i agree with, the killing seems pointless, and so i ended up running away rather than killing the zombies which created a huge buildup of weapons and ammunition. This buildup made boss battles easier than need be. Some may disagree with my opinion or playing style, but i felt that conservation was the key in the RE series because killing was most always pointless. In the SH series, the story was much more refined as well as the horror/survival aspect. I would critique the SH series more if i could, but in my eyes, it is far superior to the RE series.

Keep in mind this is my opinion, and my critique for the RE series does not apply to all of the games.

For example:

I really loved to play RE4... But SH actually play with your mind O_o
