Discussion History Franchise / SilentHill

I might look around later and see if there\\\'s a still better pic out there that can sum up the whole series without being overly identified with one particular game or the other. But whatever ends up getting used, it will not be a fan art pic that jokingly portrays the series as a cheerful GTA-style romp.

Edit: Finally found a better shot of the town itself from \\\'\\\'Silent Hill 2\\\'\\\'.

Now an unknown troper is bent on trying to restore the old gag picture and caption, so let this topic stand as a record of why it was removed in the first place and why the current pic is in use.

I then compromised with a pic from the comic book series that\\\'s vague enough to apply to any particular SH game, so that way the best pics for each game can still go to their own pages without duplicating them here too. That compromise seemed to stick, and for the past few months we\\\'ve lived in peace...

You know, once upon a time there was a big edit skirmish about which picture to use for this page. Should it be the first Silent Hill, the second one, the most recent one, the movie or what? Pictures came and went on a daily basis, but one thing most everyone agreed on is that \\\'\\\'this\\\'\\\' short-lived pic is a deliberate GTA-style parody that does not represent the series for anyone who isn\\\'t already familiar with it...

SH/GTA veterans might laugh, but nobody else is going to get it, and it conveys nothing about the tone, the setting or anything about the series itself. It\\\'s not even official artwork. So off it went.
