Update: You can read the full interview with Sam Barlow here.

“We’ve always loved working on the series. Since Origins we’ve spent a lot of time with the series. For us we felt we’ve put our stamp on the series with Shattered Memories so we’d love the opportunity to do another one. So everybody go and buy it!” – Sam Barlow, lead designer on Shattered Memories.

So far, I’d say Climax’s work on the Silent Hill series has been received well. If the development team were to address criticism from Origins and Shattered Memories, I’d bet that their next Silent Hill title would be even more enjoyable than the previous two games.
