10 Dead Video Game Franchises That Need To Return

10. Silent Hill

Originally developed as Konami's answer to Capcom's smash hit horror game Resident Evil, Silent Hill spawned many sequels, prequels, spin offs and movie tie-ins. Some entries are better than others, with Silent Hill 1 and 2 widely considered two of the most influential horror titles of all time.

Compare that to the latest, muddled entry Silent Hill: Downpour which was underwhelming in every way and received poor sales and reviews to boot. When Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro announced they were partnering to produce a new Silent Hill game, fans were ecstatic, only to be let own once again when Konami scrapped the project.

That was back in 2014 and Silent Hill has been... silent ever since. Although recently horror developer Bloober Team announced that they had partnered with Konami to create a new game, leading many to speculate that this game will indeed be Silent Hill.

Some fans are concerned with this potential new entry, as Bloober's catalog of horror experiences have been met with mixed reviews.

With horror games still selling many copies and remaining popular on YouTube and Twitch, it is a perfect time for Silent Hill to return on next generation hardware.
