Silent Hill
Silent Hill is a survival horror game franchise that revolves around the tourist town of Silent Hill; its dark link with the occult and its co-existence with its two other-dimensional forms, "Otherworld" and "Nowhere".
Silent Hill 8 (Working Title) Coming in 2011
The game, which is tentatively titled, is under development at Vatra Games and will launch on the Xbox 360 and PS3 at some point in 2011.
As for what kind of Silent Hill you'll be swinging your flashlight around in, it's being said that Silent Hill 8 will appeal to fans of the early titles. But instead of rolling with a classic character like Harry Mason again, you'll be thrust in the shoes of an inmate named Murphy Pendleton who finds himself unceremoniously in Silent Hill after his transport vehicle jumps off the road.

Would really like a Silent Hill game similar to Shattered Memories, but as long as the game is good (and scary), I'm all for it being like earlier games in the series.

But they got the music director from Dexter to fill his shoes! I love Yamaoka (he went to work for Grasshopper, BTW), but Dan Licht is the most pefect replacement I can imagine." I heard that Akira Yamaoka isn't involved with this one... His music and sound direction were key aspects of what made Silent Hill so atmospheric and moody. "

That was Origins, for the PSP/PS2. It was a bit shit. Not surprised to see it overlooked." 8? Wait, wasn't homecoming 5? I guess Shattered Memories could be 6, but where was 7? "
" @zi11ion said:I am curious about what Dan Licht has to offer to Silent Hill. Is he going to try to emulate Yamaoka's style or bring something new and different? Still, I wish Konami could have contracted out Yamaoka to do the soundtrack and design consulting for this one. Oh well.But they got the music director from Dexter to fill his shoes!

Yeah, the convict/combat evolutions have got me worried they might try what they did with Homecoming, which is not a good direction to go. But hey, this is just an announcement, so i guess I shouldn't worry until I actually KNOW something about the game.
They are doing the same thing Sony did with Killzone 2, the game will never look as good as this picture.
"Murphy Pendleton was headed for life in big house when his transport veered off course. Wandering around a foggy town called silent hill, he encounters a giant man with a pyramid shaped helmet on his head. Now Murphy must start a new life owning a bar with Pyramid head and Murphy's dog sigfried where all the customers are disfigured hospital workers! Coming to FOX!"
Sigh.... did Silent Hill: Shattered Memories really do so poorly that they are going back to the played out original formula? Silent Hill 2 is great but they have been going downhill with that formula since then.
Shattered Memories was awesome because it was completely new and made some of the best use of the Wiimote I've seen. The whole psyche profiling stuff was also pretty cool, though mostly caused visual differences. It was probably my favorite experience on Wii last year, I mean it was a bad year for hardcore games on Wii but I actually stopped playing other cool games on 360 and PS3 so I could play all the way through Shattered Memories, I had to see what was next.
I was hoping for a sequel with more gameplay and to create a creepier atmosphere, so I am saddened by this announcement. Are OG Brad and me the only people who liked that game?

I think you got my vision. Let's make Silent Hill 9.
