Resident Evil vs Silent Hill vs Luigis Mansion vs TLOU (you can only keep one)

[marvelvscapcom2]

Hello everyone.


Talking franchises. Not the single games.

Was thinking of how universally epic both the silent hill 2 remaster and RE 1-4 remasters have been. And was wondering who would win in the survival horror duel? Then felt a strong disturbance in the force.  Another survival horror games comes from the confines of Nintendo's loins to battle two PS1 era juggernaut franchises. With 3 entries. Has he done enough?


Resident Evil


Perhaps the most important for the genre. The founding father if you will.  A game very critically loved. Filled with amemorable characters (Jill) and spin offs (racoon city) its a dark iconic symphony of horror emotions blended into a good story.

SILENT HILL

Perhaps even more psychological in the psychological horror elements. A bit less RPG but a lot more puzzley and story driven.  A franchise with 3 solid entires spanning multiple decades and tons of creative spin offs.


Luigis Mansion


A big hitter in a whole different field. An underground. Has less entries and less time in the game than the other 2. Is also more cartoony. Easier. Less gorey and all around disadvantaged plot wise. But makes up for it the way Nintendo always knows how.  Fun factor. Mario character fondness. And just sweet delicious level design. 

TLOU


Story driven excellence by naughty dog. Only 2 entires compared to a good 2 dozen among the other 3 franchises. But these stories have won countless praise. A 96 on meta critic.  And a show spin off that is emmy award nominated.  It spans all of our collective hearts. We all know what we felt the first time we felt Sarah fall into Joels arms.


LM - The cartoony Sleeper Pick
TLOU - the industry titan playable movie
RE - The OG and the trend setter
SH - the spooky brain twister

Which of these 4 survival horror franchises is the survival horror king? You can only keep one.

I've always been an admirer of lovecraftian designs of abominations and creatures, so I def go with Silent Hill!
Imo, even the movie adaptions left a bigger impression than the RE movies (though they're good)...
