I’ve discussed this at length with other interested members of the larger Undead Equality Movement, and easy answers are hard to come by; what, exactly, is the relationship between the ‘Silent Hill’ games and the Zombie Community?

Unlike ‘Resident Evil’, which clearly defames Zombies, ‘Silent Hill’ is a bit harder to pin down. Are your ‘opponents’ in the ‘Silent Hill’ games Zombies per se? Probably not. They could be demons, or hallucinations, or dreams, or people from some alternate plane of existence; I’ve never been entirely certain on that, despite playing a bit of the series, and watching that godawful movie as well.

So the news about a new ‘Silent Hill’ coming out only makes the topic more important for Undead Equality campaigners like the ZRC:

Developed by Vatra Games, Silent Hill: Downpour will be the eighth installment in the Silent Hill series. The game will include and an expanded town from previous games, all-new “Side Quests,” and about 50 weapons. Hulett stated that the production team is aiming to offer more fine-tuned combat. Silent Hill: Downpour will also be the first game in the series to incorporate 3D technology.

Food for thought. A lengthy video about the development of ‘Downpour’ is also available at the above link, for those who want to learn more.
