In the late 1990s, horror games were on the rise. The hardware capabilities of Sony’s PlayStation enabled developers to craft immersive 3D experiences that married the atmosphere and shock of Hollywood’s most terrifying pictures with the agency of games - and players couldn’t get enough of them.
Among these titles was a twisted, yet comparatively demure experience called Silent Hill. Developed by a motley crew of talented Konami employees, Silent Hill flipped contemporary horror game tropes on their head, casting the player as an everyman in search of his daughter in a fog-enshrouded town. The game would be well received, and followed up by three sequels on the PlayStation 2 that would catapult the Silent Hill name into horror gaming stardom.
However, shifting interests within Konami would lead the Japanese company to disband the team that developed these early titles, and outsource all future games in the series to studios in Europe and America. While this move would produce some genuine highlights, mixed efforts and a lack of care on Konami’s part would result in Silent Hill gradually becoming a shell of its former self; a legend brimming with potential that always seemed to fall short of its glory days through some issue or another.
This is the rise and fall of Silent Hill.

F @$& konami , killed metal gear and silent hill
Imagine Silent Hills PT was made
Resident Evil 4 did so much damage to the survival horror genre.
In my restless dreams, I will visit that foggy town. Silent Hill. I will never forget you.
Theres no rise and fall, still haunts my dreams
That guy at the pachinko machine was like “I hope you guys brought an extra pair of socks...because fuck you 😎”
“Hee-jinks” lol
Team Silent. a team of failures Lol
Hallways, always. Blank stares,endless glares.
Do Resident Evil Outbreak Documentary please...

Hi! Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition (PC) have fun.
Silent hill will always be something that everyone can experience that's both scary and awesome. The first 3 games were amazing (then they turned silent hill into a casino game) and the movies were pretty ok to. Today I can't even watch a scary movie or play a scary game without remembering silent hill and the horrors it made me feel. I can't even be scared from scary movies anymore because silent hill literally surpasses all other scary movies.
Man the Japanese freakin nailed the horror genre! Silent hill 1 and 2 terrorized my childhood but i loved it! But now as an adult i really understand the true meaning behind silent hill, our own minds are the most terrifying thing
konami should've let kojima make the new silent hills
"In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised you'd take me there again someday... but you never did." Damn, what an emotional way to end this video.
Old resident evil games r kinda unplayable to me but silent hill 1 stopped feeling like an old game after 5 mins of gameplay
The ending of this video is so good!
Konami: we are working on Silent Hill new games Also Konami: here's some PACHINKO!!!
this comment section is sad and hasn't payed attention to anything
Is Spanish subs burnt into the video?
Sucks that konami's gems are just pachinko backgrounds now. What a waste
My opinion silent hill 2 was by FAR the best. Amazing story, great horror & scares, haunting soundtrack, crazy story twist, and hilarious secret ending. I actually havent played any other of the silent hills other than 1-4

I want to play more games of Silent Hill! ❤️
Rise and fall of parasite eve pls.
A 2022 game, with the same psone graphics and gameplay.
It's okay, Microsoft is rebooting this with the original developers help.
so this is where tlou got its pitch?
You know a franchise is dead when the put ARCADE in its name
First one I played was Silent Hill 2, it had just released and I was just 8 at the time and rented it for a week from Blockbuster. To say it was the scariest game I had ever even imagined at that time is an understatement. 8 year old me panicking in the maze-like hallways in the apartment building, running from Pyramid head, etc. Unforgettable memories!
oh does this mean that Netflix will make a series of it?
"hey we dont know how to make a game and we have some leftovers from those two games, lets release it"
Seeing Silent hill ending up in a pachinko machine just broke my heart in 1000 pieces..
Let us say again.... FUCK KONAMI!

Eh, we’re tired of beating a dead horse
I though the graphics would get better over time. That's what bothers me.
Thank you. Great docu. P.T. will come...
This is a BAD+ ending for this serie...
Silent hill didn’t fall Konami just gave up on it if pt would have been released this vid wouldn’t exist the day Sony gets silent hill will get our classic horror game back
Newly Released game ,Medium was the closest next gen silent hill like game we've came closed to imagine
Revelations sucks ass, but I still love the mannequin spider scene.
Here is what style of games i like Resident evil 2 and 3 (remastered) and Dying light , and Silent hill 3, dark souls 3 , mortal kombat 11. I rly hope some day ppl make silent hill survival horror with open world :P like dying light but with 3rd person and in silent hill town it will rock :) imagine not to just walk past by stuff but litteraly sleep there :P
hee-jinks
If MGS Remake rumors are true, maybe there's hope for a SH comeback, too :) Sony was going hard for the remake/nostalgia road last years.
Very informative documentary, very sad conclusions...
31.01.21 and Im still waiting. In my restless dreams I see that sequel, Silent Hill.
what i love about silent hill is the mysterious atmosphere not just about kill monster to win the game. But Sadly Konami think more action more money.
gladly that project at climax Los angeles was rejected they had no idea what the franchise was about and would have delivered a nonesensical game, even if after the entries were no very good.
@GVMER - Maybe you should look into The rise and fall of Severance: Blade of Darkness
One thing that pops up to me, is that the game or rather the Name S. Hill started to decline because the original story writers where not there, everyone trying to milk it in their way but not having the essence of the creation itself. Game developers really need to learn when to drop a name and develop new ideas instead...
japanese game developers look like fuckin Rockstars
i believed both Downpour and Homecoming were pretty enjoyable games but mediocre Silent Hill games
Chris hansen is narrating
Konami shut down _Silent Hills_ and left us with _Hideo Kojima’s Hiking Simulator_ featuring Norman Reedus and the Human Fetus.
Damn shame slient hill 1-3 best horror games ive ever played i still regularly play the original game on ps1 and the other ones on ps2 wish there was ports to steam as pc is my daily. I'd never liked resident evil as much the only resident evils i liked were 1,2 and 4 .
The white noise in the original Silent Hill was one of the scariest things ever lol
Highest quality PLclip channel to ever exist
In my opinion, many good or potential games fail, because publishers and sometimes developers, force the game to fit a franchise title, rather than taking the risk of such game being its own work of art. And many times it is best to let a franchise end when is succesful, or even prevent a game to become a franchise for that matter. Success often comes when developers are free to play and implement ideas to produce an outstanding game, but when publishers grasp the success, they imagine that producing games as a franchise is like producing Ford Model Ts, and it fails.
HOW DID KONAMI FORGET THE FINISHED SOURCE CODE
Silent 4 the room was the best for me.
Out of curiosity, does J.K. Simmons voice these videos? I am watching Avatar: The Legend of Korra, for the first time, and this gentleman sounds awfully similar to Tenzin from that series.
Great work.
thank you konami -_-
not to mention the second movie is supposed to be about a 16 year old girl not a woman in here 40s

They still doing that back then
I still find myself humming the intro song of the first SH to this day, although I played it 20 years ago. Still gives me like a weird nostalgia I can't explain.
Silent Hill really wasn't that good of an IP.

Yea
Still hurts.
What an amazing video
My god everytime i watch the end of this minidocumentary, i want to cry
A new silent hill game is coming.
James: "W-why did you blew out his brains!?!?!?" 2:32 Billy: "He call me fat."
What silent hill needs is a real remake as a jump starter. Give it the RE2 treatment and not only would it grab the attention of old fans but it would lure in new ones. As much flack as it got I recently bought the HD collection since I grew up more on resident evil. And I’m just falling in love with SH. it makes me sad the series has been neglected. It deserves to be remembered.
One day it will come back stronger than ever...
siren was really good too imo
Silent hill never fall.
Konami is dog shit. How do you mange to ruin metal gear and silent hill...
25:14 excuse me what is this!
And thats why i still have original "uncut" ntsc version- demon babies in the school!! what a mind fk that is.

What
don't lie! Hiroyuki Owaku did not write the script for the first part of Silent Hill! The script, like the idea, belongs to Keishiro Toyama and Naoko Sato!
What a lovely voice 🎙
Silent Hill movie was just awesome, all of them. Silent Hill 2 was the best game of the series.
Fuck konami
I herd silent hills failed cause Kojima wanted to sale players a complete game where konami didn't but through dlc
That vita game is tedious.
In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. And how it used to be. Good.
1:00 and completely fk them all up after sh3. Like wtf Konami? U had 3 fantastic games in a row for a single series. Why fk that up!?
silent hill nunca tuvo caida...
man, do you do Audio books ? your voice is awesome
No matter how hated some of the silent hill games were I still found certain aspects of each particularly enjoyable
Silent hill 3 best horror experience ever
Please make one for The Rise And Fall of Alone In The Dark series ! Make a video about with Gothic, Duke Nukem, Deus Ex and Blood series too
Man what was it about 2018 that two people made a vid about the fall of silent hill
In my restless dreams, I see that game. Silent Hill. You promised you'd give me a new one someday. But you never did.
Honestly I think we dont need to revive everything we just need more good thrillers it is hard to constantly recreate and make it original its truly a oxymoron
As a kid I always loved the aesthetic of silent hill but was toos scared and young to figure it out however thriller games are the best
That cancelled silent hill demo that PewdiePie played could’ve been the best horror game in years you guys have to check it out
Sucks i'll never get to play this series because Konami went to downhill, they only make gambling machines now.
Did you guys like outlast 1 and 2?
Goddammit Konami
