As the years go by, it seems more and more classic horror game franchises are being remade. Dead Space's polished remake of its first title is only the most recent example. The Resident Evil franchise kicked off the trend with the stellar 2002 Resident Evil remake, and eventually began work on remaking the rest of its mainline entries. New to this trend is Silent Hill, with a Silent Hill 2 remake in the works at Bloober Team. The Silent Hill 2 project likely owes its life to the success of Resident Evil's remakes, though it remains to be seen if it can hold a torch to those titles' excellence.
