Thread: Silent Hill vs. Resident Evil

Well I wasn't a big fan of the old resident evil games but since four came around they own. It has overall better gameplay in my opinion. When it comes to the creepiest I would have to give it to Silent Hill. I remember playing the second game and being scared out of my mind of pyramid heads. If we talk about the movies then the resident evil ones suck and the Silent Hill one was actually pretty good.

I would have to say silent hill for its plan out just creepy pyramid head was the creepy thing i have seen and it is not even a cool char. He just like flips out on a nurse thing in a room. Ok there was one scare part about the re4 game when the guy run out of the oven i was very creeped out.

I'm all for Resident Evil because I personally I enjoy killing without thoughts. Also, Resident evil is a gun-power game!(Laughs)
I do think that Silent Hill is scary and cool but--- I'm not one that likes slow and thinking games. But I have to admit... The story line and characters are interesting. (Gotta love the zombie nurses!!!)
So yea... I like Silent Hill's arcade game! <^v^>/
Has anyone tried this yet?

those pyramid heads are indeed creepy. Silent hill would take the cake without a hitch, if it werent for the following

-Regenerators, resident evil 4
-Lisa Trevor, "REmake" (gamecube)
-Juggernaughts running at you with Chainsaws (resident evil 4)

these things are just as creepy as most, if not all, things as silent hill. the chainsaws more intimidating, but lisa and the regenerators *cold shiver* not cool.

I've only really played RE/Biohazard with the exception of playing the first Silent Hill and seeing the SH movie so my opinion is lopsided. Although I will say that Silent Hill has the upper hand in atmosphere and creepiness right off the bat.

I play RE like I pay my bills, methodically and quickly (Im an anal-retentive bastard) The story has always taken a back seat to the action and item/bullet management for me. I have loved most of the games in the series and can't get enough of busting caps into any incantation of zombie. Generally speaking RE/Biohazard is not scary or creepy, just thrilling. I won't get started on the horrible RE movies, I will make fans of them cry.

As for Silent Hill, I thoroughly enjoyed the creepy lighting, thick with mist haunting atmostphere, and less is more attitude. Silent Hill is more disturbing than RE by leaps and bounds. the stories, characters, dead babehs or whatever the hell they are. I also find the artwork for Silent Hill yummier in comparison. Its just more of an overall intriguing immersive experience. So yes Silent Hill wins as the game/ movie that gives me dead baby dreams.

well, silent hill was made to be more disturbing and such. Resident evil is more of survival, with a few spooks.

Silent Hill is better, the first time i played it i had nightmares for almost a week lol
