A Little More Silent Hill Book of Memories Information
Posted By: Whitney June 13th, 2011 | 9:13 am
According to the latest Konami press release we now have confirmation (in writing) that Silent Hill Book of Memories will be the first ever co-op multiplayer Silent Hill title!
If you are worried that the gameplay will be like the multiplayer mode in lets say Call of Duty there’s no reason to worry. From the description given in the press release it sounds like this will still be an intimate gaming experience with just you and a friend working together to survive and escape Silent Hill. It’s probably going to be similar to the Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen partnership in Resident Evil Zero just with two players instead of switching between the two in a single player mode.
Silent Hill: Book of Memories is the first KONAMI title to be confirmed for the forthcoming PlayStation Vita portable device, and is also the first ever multi-player Silent Hill title. The game will feature an all-new scenario and soundtrack, and links past and present events in the series in one game. Working with a friend, players are left stranded in Silent Hill, where they must work together in order to escape the town and its inhuman denizens.
Aditionally Joystiq broke the news that WayForward, an American studio based in Valencia, California, is working on Book of Memories.
Velasco didn’t divulge much, only describing Book of Memories as a “left-field” part of the prolific developer’s upcoming lineup. A “left-field” multiplayer Silent Hill game? Scariest licensed baseball game ever.
“Left-field” sure is right! I took a look at their game history and the developers have a lot of experience in the handheld game market but nothing in their repertoire seems to be within the survival horror genre. Needless to say I’m really interested in seeing what sort of Silent Hill game they will come up with, I hope will get some video or screens in the next couple months!
