Konami is starting E3 2011 off with a bang June 2 with their first-annual global Pre-E3 Show that will showcase company announcements, exclusive interviews with developers, and never-before-seen game trailers. Konami President, Shinji Hirano says that they hope this preshow will “build buzz ahead of E3.” Live viewing events have been scheduled in several cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, São Paulo and Mexico City a with simulcasts planned on several major online sites and gaming broadcast outlets around the world. Konami will also stream footage from the all the live festivities on KONAMI.com.

Each venue was chosen for its own chic style and are considered ideal spots for guests to kick-back and enjoy the show. The brand new Commissary at Sony Pictures Studio will be the site for the Los Angeles viewing event while I will attend the the Zen-like space of the Shrine Room at Temple Nightclub in San Francisco. Registration for the Los Angeles event is unfortunately sold out but it looks like it’s still possible to register to attend the San Francisco Event!

I’ve made to to the semi-finals for Konami’s Ultimate fan contest and it looks like I’m the only Silent Hill fan in the running, which I got to say is a disappointment! Please check out all the entries and if you think I’m the “ultimate” I would sure appreciate the vote 😀

Ultimate Konami Fan Contest

I’m currently uploading 8 new lp videos to my youtube account that chronicles James’ journey through Toluca Prison and the Labyrinth where we run into some surprising old friends!

Here’s the first uploaded part:

I know, I know I’ve been a lame-o with slacking on the movie news…There has been a of couple known new filming locations such as a Central Tech High School. This high school seemed to be used as a set for Brookhaven Hospital according to fan set photos Alex White posted over on the Silent Hill Revelation Facebook Fan Page.

Additional filming also took place at Hearn Generating Station a decommissioned electrical generating station in Toronto.

As of May 14 Silent Hill Revelation has finished principle photography, according to Micheal J. Bassett on his blog:

It’s going to be hard waiting the next couple months but according to a recent Malcolm McDowell interview by fearnet.com the film really is in good hands…

So even though there may be a lack of movie related news the next couple weeks I’m expecting we’ll get a plethora of news on Silent Hill Downpour to come from this year’s e3 to tide us over!

As celebration for hitting 500,000 fans on their Official Facebook Page Konami has release a very tiny teaser for their e3 2011 Silent Hill Downpour trailer. The posted video is a full minute but most of it features Devin Shatsky talking and thanking the fans (looks like he got himself one of those Boogeyman statues too!). From what we see of the game we can see Murphy fighting some wicked looking ladies with a chair WWF..err WWE style and taking a ride down what looks like a water slide from hell. Head over to the Silent Hill Facebook to check it out.

Hey guys! It’s been a couple months but I’m finally back to working on my Silent Hill 2 LP. I’m currently uploading two parts that encompasses my journey through the dark Silent Hill streets to reach the Silent Hill Historical Society. During the journey I discuss combat difficultly, Downpour, upcoming E3 events and more. In the next day or so I will record my journey through the prison and labyrinth and get that up on youtube next!

Climax character artist Jeen Lih Lun posted some nice concept art of the Silent Hill Shattered Memories characters she worked on over on her personal website. I was really happy to see some bigger versions of some the character sheets I’ve only seen in small print the Shattered Memories Japanese game guide!

Big thanks goes to JaneTheNurse on the Silent Hill Community for leading me to this artists site!
