EU Book of Memories Demo on PSN Tomorrow

Posted By: Whitney   September 25th, 2012 | 10:06 am

EU Silent Hill fans will get a chance to try Book of Memories tomorrow!

This demo will contain the first two levels of the game including a fight with the Fire Boss. There will be character customization but it is limited to two player classes. There will also be a variety of enemies to fight, some which are seen until later stages of the game.

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH will tomorrow release a free playable demo for Silent Hill: Books of Memories for PlayStation ®Vita via PlayStation®Network.

The exclusive, single-player taster of the first Silent Hill title for the Sony handheld, features the first two zones from the game and a battle against the game’s Fire Boss. The demo will give PlayStation®Vita users their first chance to experience the combat and exploration elements of the new game and also features the intro cinematics, to whet the appetite for the full game’s horrifying story.

Players can select one of two characters for use in the demo and a selection of weapons and adversaries from latter stages of the full game, are also included.

No word on when we can expect a demo in the States, I hope it’s soon! Any EU fans planning on trying it out? Please let me know what you think of it!

Halloween Horror Nights Silent Hill Maze Preview!

Posted By: Whitney   September 11th, 2012 | 10:24 am

Shocktillyoudrop.com got a special preview of the upcoming Silent Hill maze and it looks like there’s a lot of stuff for the fans of the series to look forward to (Spoilers if you don’t want to know what creatures to expect within the maze):

· The maze will combine elements from both the existing video games and the films, including the upcoming Silent Hill: Revelations 3D.
· Game developer Konami has been involved in the maze’s creation on an advisory level.
· (Spoiler) Red Pyramid, the Missionary, Bogeyman, Dark Alessa, the Nurses, Colin the Janitor and Robbie the Rabbit (end spoiler) all make an appearance in the maze.
· The soundtrack takes its cue from the games and because there is so much music to draw from, the soundtrack experience may be different for each attendee depending on when they visit the attraction.
· Various scents will be pumped through the maze, including the smell of blue cotton candy.
· The maze relies heavily on fog (naturally) and sound effects, including the memorable air raid siren.
· Howard Blackwood, Silent Hill’s postmaster, will greet attendees in front of the maze. Be sure to follow @HorrorNights to learn how to score cool prizes from him during HHN’s hours of operation.

Check out their full preview gallery over on their report along with their short behind the scenes video with creative director John Murdy! (there’s spoilers)

I know I’m really excited about all the game elements that will be present in the maze. In their video Murdy discussed how important sound is in creating the immersion. Every time a creature comes into a room it’s preceded by radio static, just like in the game! I was also excited to see that along with the well known movie known creatures (The Janitor, Nurses and Pyramid Head) game characters such as Silent Hill 3’s Missionaries, Robbie and even Downpour’s Howard Blackwood make appearances. The maze’s use of sounds, fog and scents also seems very cool and will really draw fans into the world of Silent Hill. I can’t wait to see this first hand!

The Silent Hill maze is open select nights September 21-October 31 in both Universal Hollywood and Orlando. See the Halloween Horror Nights website for more information.

Silent Hill: Defeated a Fan Card Game

Posted By: Whitney   September 8th, 2012 | 10:55 am

Own a deck of Silent Hill Homecoming playing cards? Why don’t you give this card game by Don Riddle a try!

Silent Hill: Defeated is a free, unofficial, print-and-play card game designed for use with Silent Hill-themed playing cards (not included) to play a game more thematically linked to the popular survival-horror videogame. The card deck is a “poker” deck with 2 Jokers, but the splitting of the deck’s artwork between Monsters (Black suits) and Heroes (Red suits) led to the design of Silent Hill: Defeated. The game could conceivably be played with any “poker”-style deck, but the Silent Hill deck from Great Eastern Entertainment is highly recommended.

The gameplay is like Silent Hill meets Uno. You start the game by drawing 7 cards and your goal is to get rid of all the cards in your hand. You do this by “challenging” the top card of the discard pile. Sometimes that card is a Monster and you will need a Hero to fight it. Sometimes, it’s the other way around. The Heroes (red-suited cards) and Monsters (black-suited cards) have different rules and play a little differently, but in the end you have to combine both strategies in order to empty your hand of cards, which allows you to finally escape the twisted place called… Silent Hill.

Check out the full rules here!

Silent Hill Revelation Finally Has an Official Website

Posted By: Whitney   September 8th, 2012 | 10:44 am

Looks like the marketing for Silent Hill Revelation is finally in full swing now with the reveal of the official one sheet and teaser website earlier this week.

They sure are driving home the point that this movie is in 3D…even the site has a pseudo 3D effect with Pyramid Head moving and popping out of the site’s design.

There’s not much up there right now besides a brief synopsis and the trailer but I hope a lot more things will be added in the upcoming weeks like more movie stills, downloads and news.

I’m a bit disappointed that Pyramid Head seems to be the main focus of Open Roads marketing instead of Heather or Claudia… but I guess in the end I’m not too surprised they’ve focused on him since he seems to be a big draw for many fans of the upcoming movie:

Downpour has a Release Date in Japan!

Posted By: Whitney   September 8th, 2012 | 10:19 am

Looks like Japan is finally going to get caught in the Downpour. Konami announced that Silent Hill: Downpour will be release in Japan on November 8, 2012 but only on the Playstation 3. I hope the version released will be the patched version Konami is working on.

Above is the cover art for the region by Masahiro Ito.

Silent Hill Revelation One Sheet Revealed

Posted By: Whitney   September 6th, 2012 | 11:10 am

According to the Official Silent Hill Revelation FB Page this is the first one-sheet for the movie.

Well I’m disappointed that the marketing is focusing on Pyramid Head. I would have much rather seen Heather or Claudia 🙁 I hope they come out with additional posters with different characters.
