There’s no Pyramid Head or Sexy Nurses in Downpour…I think this interviewer is the only one disappointed to hear that.

Games Radar was at the same event I was in Decemeber and they recorded a guided video tour with Tomm Hulett 🙂

Also Tomm gives a release date of March 6 2012

Early in December I attended a Konami press event in San Fransisco and had the opportunity to try Silent Hill Downpour, Silent Hill Book of Memories and the HD Collection and talk with Silent Hill producer Tomm Hulett. I already played through most of the HD Collection back in September so I used my time to play-through Downpour and briefly try Book of Memories. Unfortunately, unlike my Downpour hands on preview last September, I could not record myself playing so no accompanying video preview this time around!

Lots of fun!

(more…)

If you pre-order Downpour (Xbox 360 | PS3) in-store at ebgames in Australia you can receive a Downpour t-shirt and poster! I’m jealous as there’s still no word on any US pre-order bonuses.

[UPDATE]

Ebgames isn’t the only retailer with this deal! JB Hi-fi is always offering this pre-bonus! They are offering the game for $9 less and they are willing to ship internationally. So if you don’t live in Australia you could still get the bonus items.

Hi Guys! I’m off to the Konami Silent Hill Press event in San Francisco to play Silent Hill Downpour, HD Collection and Book of Memories! I hope to bring back a lot of cool new info and some play through (cam) videos if possible (I promise I won’t talk through them this time XD) and photos of the event.

Looks more like the TGS 2011 Trailer but that’s what the Japanese Silent Hill Downpourwebsite is calling this video:

On October 31, 2011 Brian Gomez officially stepped down from being a Design Director at Vatra Games and is no longer working on Silent Hill Downpour. This is some saddening news but Brian assures me that Silent Hill fans should not fret!

With such long stints away from the family his descision is completely understandable in my opinion and as a fan I have full confidence that he has left Downpour in not only good place but in good hands as well. 🙂

So what will be in store for Brian in the future?

A lot! He has many cool new projects in the works (and without the long stays away from his family!) but nothing he can discuss in detail at this very moment.

Being such a survival horror nut myself I asked if any of these projects will be survival horror related and I was happy to hear they are!

I wish Brian the best of luck with his new ventures! I can’t wait to see his work with Downpour in the flesh this March (woot!) and I look forward to hearing more about what he have in store for horror gaming!

For anyone wanting to keep up to date on Brian’s future en devours you should definitely follow him on twitter! @briangomez
