11 Upcoming Video Games That Might Be The PS4's Killer App

9. Silent Hills

Release Date: TBA 2016. The Buzz: The ninth entry into the long-stagnating Silent Hill franchise, which casts The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus as its protagonist, and benefits from Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro directing the game. Plus, it's using the Metal Gear Solid franchise's new Fox engine, so what's not to like? Why It Might Be The Killer App: The P.T. demo was a viral sensation upon release last August, providing one of the most terrifying and atmospheric gaming experiences in years, so if Kojima and del Toro can replicate that feeling of pervasive dread and unease throughout an 8-hour game, Silent Hills is going to restore the franchise to its former glory. Why It Might Not Be: Survival horror isn't exactly the most popular genre out there, because not everyone enjoys being scared out of their wits. It's not entirely impossible that the came can't appeal to casuals, but it's just not all that likely.
