Anyway. The story line of 3 was dedicated to wrapping up all the core story line of 1, there go finishing off the whole cult plot line, 4 was pretty much just changed to SH halfway through in development. 2 was specifically about the town and characters themselves. So, when Team silent finally disburtsted konami wanted more games. So, they outsourced it to americans teams. These teams basically threw away all the consistent themes/game play of SH and released water down/uninspired designs gam...

-es with Silent basically slapped onto the title. These games came out the generation after the first one, so the new fans hadn't either been exposed to sh before or the new ones where their first impression. The lack of consistency or respect as well overall crap confirmation of what is canon from respected sources has basically caused a massive rift in the fan base. The old and the new.

The classic and artistic, the new and ambitious...but totally not consistent in focus of atmosphere/ design and narrative like the first 4 where. Its bad...because we basically got a bunch of different games that are apparently "Silent Hill now" despite almost none consistency in themes and quality.
