Konami has laid out their Silent Hill line-up for 2012 with a press release today. It's three games in a row for the first three months of next year.
First is Silent Hill HD Collections, a visually upgraded pack containing Silent Hill 2 and 3, set to release January 24. There's also new voice acting -- that could be really scary!
February brings Silent Hill Book of Memories, for the PS Vita. We have new screenshots for Memories in our gallery below. I'm on the fence with this one.
March is the big one: Silent Hill:Downpour. I'm hoping for good things with the last one. We haven't seen enough of it to make a solid call.
So, what do you think? Is 2012 the best year ever for Silent Hill fans? Or is it too much too fast?

The voiceacting is kind of a deal breaker for the HD collection. Seems obvious. Figure it out, Konami! We're cult fans, we like our shit relatively untouched. If it ain't broke, don't break it.
I'm actually kind of intrigued by the Vita game. Just because it looks soooo different.
I'd call it "Raping a dead horse".
Sorry, I'm jaded :P
i may never buy a SH game if this keeps up.
such a shame how a legendary franchise got drag by it's feet by the stupidity of konami.
im worry if MGS might come next.
if that happens i hope Kojima goes to grasshopper manufacturer.
he'' definitely put the company on the map :P
Why so skeptic, Dale? Is it mostly the perspective change?
I kind of look forward to seeing how WayForward handle Silent Hill: Book of Memories as a stand alone good experience.
I know it's all about licensing rights and such bureaucratic BS, but couldn't they have made an effort to bring at least the first three SH into the HD collection? Sorry but it just feels wrong to have an HD collection missing the game that started it all. I don't know what was the situation, but Konami could've relent a bit on the contract for it and make this a solid release. It just screams greedy that they won't go the extra mile to bring a proper package to their costumers.
No comment on the multiplayer piece of shit. Waiting anxiously for Downpour not to being an utter disappointment.

Silent Hill on Vita: I'm buying a Vita, so this is a maybe. I'll see how it reviews.
Silent Hill Downpour: Again, I'll see how it reviews and then maybe get it on sale.
