Well, the new DMC is still far from done, I'm not sold on it yet by any means and I hate the new Dantes design. Being modelled after one of the devs only makes it worse since they didn't exactly do him any favours when they adapted his look into the game. Too early to tell weather the game will suck, but its a bad start.
Silent Hill had three parts as far as I'm concerned, the rest are spin-offs.
Apart from the abysmal loading times, I'd say Suikoden V got the series back on track. Years ago, as the current consoles ware about to hit the market, I was really looking forward to the next generation of Suikoden games. Sadly, they never came, and it looks like they wont any time soon, if ever at all.
As I said before, I'm actually putting a lot of hope and faith in indie fan games now, because its probably the closest we're going to get to a decent Suikoden title any time soon.
