Here's hoping its more Shattered Memories, less Homecoming
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
where's the live blogging thing Giantbomb does, for Konami's conference? did those lazy Giantbomb fucks not go to that one? or did i miss it on the site? or what. somebody tell me. or else.
Vatra is making this? As in the upcoming xbla/psn game Rush'N Attack: Ex-Patriot Vatra? I just hope they learned something from Shattered Memories. It would be a shame if they went and made another Homecoming.

" I was really hoping for Shattered Memories 2...ah well! C'est la vie. "If you read between the lines, both for what was in the trailer and what they said at the actual presser, then you might conclude that they recognize that Shattered Memories was better than Homecoming, and they want to move more in that direction.
I'll save my hopes until I see it. I haven't actually enjoyed a Silent Hill game since the third, which was the last good one in my opinion. They've really lost their touch in recent years.
That picture on the other hand, nicely done.
Murphy Pendelton is my east coast Irish rap name.
Also, I'd kill for some Move support. The flashlight in Shattered Memories was good, but still prone to crazy Wii interference. Move could bring something to it. You could even have situations where you need to twist it to see into tight passages and so on.
Harry?
It would be really nice if Konami would stop farming the series out to random third-party devs. Vatra Games hasn't even developed a game before, Double Helix mostly handled Earthworm Jim and movie licenses, and Climax has a resume full of disposable garbage. At this point, I'd rather see the first three games updated on PS3/360 and the series put on hold indefinitely.
You know, i would pay for a crudely drawn stick figure Silent Hill, provided they kept everything else about the game as dark and fucked up as possible. I want to see my stick-protagonist screaming and trying to gouge his eyes out with shards of glass.
Sounds a bit like Shattered Memories didn't do so well on the Wii, what with them moving to PS3 and 360. You'd think at this point it'd be a safe bet to do a Wii game since you can just port it over to PS3 and 360 anyway.
" Sounds a bit like Shattered Memories didn't do so well on the Wii. "It met expectations on both the Wii and PSP, and continues to sell.
Homecoming, on the other hand, did not sell well.
Whatever their reasons for returning to the HD consoles, its not salees.
Question is, will this be in the 'core' series (making it 5 or 6 depending if Homecoming was 5) or will it be another spinoff (like origins and shattered memories)?

The fact that the trailer focuses on mood and characteer, not resorting to combat or fanservice I take as good sign.
