I think silent hill is more scarier because silent hill your alone and monster pop out of no where

Gamewise id say silenthill. I have 1 downloaded on my ps3, creepy for sure.

xxblackwarriorxx : I know I'm pretty late for a reply (I've been busy with work... ") but I have to agree with you on being alone. That tends to be a big factor in Silent Hill and the majority of the time you are (excluding parts of Silent Hill 2 where Maria follows you). With Resident Evil you mostly have a team of people and I suppose to run into them frequently on things and often times while being attacked by some monster.

As for the monsters popping out, I agree with that also. The fog world of Silent Hill gives the enemies the instant element of surprise while with Resident Evil they are usually just there and there are time where monsters do just pop out but not as frequently as Silent Hill.

But thank you for voting and the feedback!

I have not played Silent Hill. I do not usually play horror games. I have played Doom 3 and a little Resident Evil, so that is about all I can go off of. Therefore, my vote is Resident Evil. Doom 3 was just... unpredictable as for when the... zombies? would pop out of nowhere and attack you.

thing1 : Hey its totally understandable. Some people haven't played Silent Hill or some people haven't played Resident Evil. I made the poll to see what others in the community think. And its awesome that you played Doom 3, I'm a big fan of the Doom series. There were zombies in Doom 3, the human-like enemies, everything else was a big ugly demon, like the Imps that crawl all around.

Thank you for your vote! Any feedback is good feedback in my book!

zerothesaint : ha ha. cool. there were a few parts that scared the crap out me honestly, but I don't want to spam your thread about it. I could make a thread and we could discuss experiences there?

thing1 : If that's what you'd like to do, go for it. I'll be more than happy to go over all the nice scare tactics and experiences from Doom and any other horror games we've played. I seem to have an unhealthy love for horror games that can make me jump through the roof of my house. XD

Are you referring for these to be video games or movies? If they are video games, I would choose Resident Evil because I don't know what Silent Hill is and I, also, I don't know many scary video games. If you are referring to movies, I would choose Other because I know many scary movies, but I don't know what Silent Hill is. I had already voted for Resident Evil for video game, well, at least I assume.

ProGamer135 : Well, I'm mostly referring to the video games, the movies for either side are alright. Its fine that you haven't heard or seen Silent Hill, many haven't. All in all Silent Hill is a pretty good horror series in the gaming world, in the psychological aspect of the game it can really mess with your head for sure. If you want you can look into Silent Hill because I personally love it and would recommend it or at least a look over. I suppose Resident Evil is more publicized than Silent Hill but then again RE IS from Capcom. 

I appreciate your feedback very much. And I can't wait to see what Resident Evil 6 has in store for us.

zerothesaint : I think i summoned you to the DOOM 3 thread. Why you no post there yet?

thing1 : Sorry, just replied! Had to take care of pets for a moment and eventually I might have some company but I'll post whenever I can. Again, sorry about that.

zerothesaint : Well, you're welcome for my feedback, zerothesaint. I appreciate your feedback, too.

I voted Resident Evil because it is one of the only scary video games that I know and have experienced, before. I am not a scary fan.
I had never heard of Silent Hill, included inside my lifetime.
I don't know many scary video games, though.

Honestly? Silent Hill Homecoming has scared me more than any other horror game I have saw, my vote is going to Silent hill, no matter what, creepy lady humans having tubes come out of their mouths, in their behind, and their neck stretching out, also those mechanical spider legs.... Yep, to me that thing is the least scariest thing I have seen in any horror game, but still, the Pyramid heads could scare me out of the country if they wanted to. XD 
(Me and my friends have a TON of conversations about Silent Hill During school hours, can't get enough of scary stuff.)

Sorry if this reply comes late, but I couldn't resist to vote. Is RE scarier than SH? Clearly not. While Resident Evil was based around survival along with the creepy factor, but basically with silly zombies and mutated creatures (talking about the first ones, the newest one are just shooters) Silent Hill is about how one apparently normal person is purging his sins in a haunted city which change according to his own memories and feelings. The atmosphere is way scarier and besides the jump scares, silent hill has that constant feeling of not knowing what is going to happen next. Also, in Silent Hill you are way more vulnerable to the horrifying monsters in your path, and the different endings have al kind of meanings an are considered by a very curious way clearly affected by decisions in game, but without you noticing it.
Anyway, if I have to go for a scarier game, that's without doubt Amnesia - The Dark Descend. Amnesia is not based around jump scares and makes you have a constant feel of horror instead of just in specific moments. You don't know what's going own, you are totally unarmed and you are without a doubt a normal human being which actually gets scare and keeps becoming more insane as long keeps going down. Amnesia is a game where after entering once in the water, you'll never wanna get back in the water, is a game where after running out of oil once, you don't wanna be left in the dark anymore, and after you played once, you really wanna keep playing.

I've never played Silent Hill, but I have played Resident Evil before. It's scary.

starwars293 : The input is much appreciated!
