Sorry for the delay on this news you guys I was super busy at work all day yesterday and I am just now getting all caught up on all the new Silent Hill stuff!

Silent Hill Book of Memories Gameplay Footage

Okay it was nice to see some of those screens in action, a closer look at the character concept art and to hear more about the game’s premise. I think the story is actually pretty interesting so far: You recieve a book that contains you entire life story within the pages – your memories (hey I think I know where they got the title lol…), future maybe? Anyway the book is all about you and if you alter the text you can change reality and your own history and you will have to deal with the ramifications. Sounds pretty interesting to me! We also learned that there will be creatures from Silent Hill’s past titles, along with limited resources, creepy atmosphere and scare rooms.

From watching the footage it seems like there’s some RPG elements there as the guy in the orange cap seemed to perform some sort of magical attack. I’ll be honest here I raised an eyebrow I didn’t expect to see something like that in a Silent Hill game. Now I’m wondering how it will tie in with the rest of the normal melee and fire arsonal (shotgun, knife, cleaver, fists, pipes, etc). Will everyone have this sort of power or only certain character types?

Overall I can’t say I’m that excited for this title as it seems a big departure in terms of game play from the rest of the series. That’s not to say it doesn’t look like it could be fun, I would still love to try it but I see it so far as being in the same category as the Silent Hill Playnovel, those Silent Hill Cellphone games and the arcade game. What do you guys think?

Silent Hill Downpour Sneak Peek

This game seems to get better and better every time I see new footage which has me super hyped for it’s release later this year. The music in the brief little sneak peek was nice and I have to say I have a lot more questions about Murphy’s character…seems like he’s not popular with the guards or the other inmates. I wonder what he did…

Also what’s with all the rape faces given to Murphy lol?

What you you guys think?
