    For me it's SH1, no doubts about it. The dreadful atmosphere, the lack of explanation for almost anything in this dark old world, the murky graphics, the all-swallowing fog, the tranquility before sounds of the siren engulf the city and change it to an industrial hellhole, all work together to create a horrific setting of unprecedented scale. Having said that, the scariest game I've ever played still remains Fatal Frame 1. Almost gave me a heart attack at several points.

    The three biggest problems "Homecoming" had were (in my opinion):
    1.) The movie transition between worlds - not scary, not surprising. Worked in the movie as a cool visual but takes the tension out of the game from suddenly realizing that everything changed.
    2.) Cinematic introductions of all enemies - like, are you kidding me? If I get a presentation of the monster before encountering it, I'm ready for it and not scared.
    3.) The complete rehash of the story from SH2 - it was basically a 1:1 copy and for that we saw the ending coming from a mile away.

    To this day Silent Hill 3 is the scariest game I've ever played. It just feels so unrelentingly oppressive.
    The others are all creepy in their own ways, something like Silent Hill 2 just had amazing atmosphere but that game made you feel lonely and depressed. Silent Hill 3 I just felt like I was never safe
    Getting into your ranking. I guess I'm weird because I also found homecoming to be really creepy. I thought it had some of the greatest enemy designs in the franchise and the best bosses probably until this remake. But even then it still has some great ones
    I found the hotel especially to be a really creepy area, so was the prison. And in general even if I didn't think it was the greatest Silent Hill game, I just loved it as a horror game.
    I would say downpour for me was easily the least scary. It felt like you were just fighting generic zombie looking dudes the whole time
    I'm conflict it on where I put the remake because as far as level design and atmosphere and art direction. It absolutely nails being creepy and uneasy and even taps into some of that oppressive feeling when you're in the other world that I'm talking about how silent Hill 3 felt like to me
    But there's so much combat. So all of the enemies that creeped me out the most become a nuisance rather than a threat at a certain point You get too used to it.

    I think Homecoming had the most potential of all the newer games. The idea of being a soldier stricken with PTSD in Silent Hill is honestly a fantastic set up. And to a small degree, even though Pyramid Head is supposed to be a manifestation of a specific protagonists guilt, it makes sense that Alex would encounter him as James and Alex both seem to wrestling with these suppressed emotions and even went about dealing with them in similar ways.
    It may not be a very popular opinion, but I think Homecoming deserves a second chance with a team of writers that really appreciate and understand the lore of the universe.

    Shattered memories gets waayy too much praise. While homecoming gets way too much hate. While exploring you knew you were safe, up until the world changes into a frozen landscape. The scripted horror events running corridor trying to find the right door over and over again was ridiculously annoying. Story was good , but man. The game as a whole wasn’t. Homecoming had decent combat, the fact that they refined the combat was welcomed. Instead of honking Eddie on the head over and over again. The enemy design was top tier, the bosses were the best in the series. The voice acting was good. The only lacking part was the story. Pretty much a retread of 2. But as a whole a damn fine game and much better than its reputation.

    To be fair, there are only two enemy models repeated in Homecoming from pervious games. Most of the monster designs are completely original. Now Homecoming had its flaws, and I agree that it's definitely the least scary of the the franchise, but it is leagues above and beyond Downpour in its level design and narrative.

It has so many cool and unique things going for it but at the same time it’s brought down by so many issues, I still love 4 a ton despite its issues but a remake, if done well could turn it into an all-time great, I’d kill for a 4 remake dude.

    Yea, SH3 was always the creepiest to me personally. If it ever does get remade, one thing that could be fun would be having randomized effects akin to the NG+ versions of some areas where they get bloody and creepy, but instead have it be unpredictable so that one moment you're going through a darkened hall and everything gets that diseased look, but then changes back to make it feel like you're losing grip on reality.
    As for SH2 vs its remake, it really does just come down to preference I have to say. The original did some things better, but the remake found some really creative changes that help make it feel like a fresh take and not just the 2001 classic with prettier visuals. The combat and resource management definitely are much better, especially as you have to start fresh in every run and can't stockpile things like in the original.
    Surprised there wasn't a mention for Short Message, not that it deserves much beyond a "yea, it exists" if you ask me. The monster design was pretty great, but damn if the experience itself was pretty forgettable given the main character looks like she got lost on her way to the next Life is Strange title.

    This is why most characters see undead dogs, bugs and the nurses, those aren’t just for James, they are from Alessa and almost anyone in the town can be haunted by her traumas monsters.

I really would love to see bloober remake 3 so bad but after SH2R they have a lot of work to live up too after making SH2R and you're not out of your mind, pretty much everyone i talked too loved the remake better than the OG. Sure there is OG fans but there is a lot of remake fans out there. Toluca Prison was very creepy for me, I will say though the experience is pretty different if you are not using a headset. If you want the best experience possible please do yourself a favor and use a headset especially at night with the lights out lol. I have a 3d audio headset and it made the whole experience intense.

    I would love to say Silent Hill 1 is the scariest or one of the scariest games ever made, but the PS1 hardware truly has made it and Resident Evil 1 be taken less seriously as time has gone on and they no longer are that scary. It's due to this that Silent Hill 1 really needs a remake in a similar vein as the Resident Evil 1 remake.

    Number two Hill one that I played through it, but it was so damn hard because I was screaming and jumping every turn granite probably because of the graphics but again it was such a great play through and it terrifies me till this day
    Silent Hill two is my top third scariest silent Hill for me to play and the remake is nowhere near the creepy factor personally but you know they still did really good on the atmosphere and the hardness of the combat of the monsters and two remake is really what gets me again my husband’s playing it cause I just I can’t do it
    Silent Hill 33 is one of my favorites, but I have to say it might be the least bit terrifying for me, but it still had some times where I was freaked out, but I could play through it with no problem
    This is where we diverge homecoming. I actually enjoyed homecoming a lot, but you are right. Something about it just was not silent Hill, but did the creepy child sacrifice evil parents storyline was the part that I found? Interesting but yeah.
