But what I’m really excited about are the new member RANKS!
I really love the new look and I’m excited to see how the community will expand in the future!
Updates
· Reorganized my site navigation and added some new homages to the Silent Hill Shattered Memories Homages section
Ashley on the Silent Hill Community posted last night that this seems to be the case. According to a message from Mary herself on her Facebook fan page:

So even though she’s not involved with Silent Hill 8 we can expect something new from her and Akira soon. I look forward to hearing it 🙂
I decided that it would be a good idea to have an archive of all my past site updates! So from now on I will start making news posts on all the new things on the site!
Updates
· A brand new look and site name! I’ve decided to expand this website to include information on the upcoming SH8. Check out my news post for more info!
· Oh! I also fixed my missing mp3 players! I didn’t realize they had disappeared. I accidentally deleted a code piece in my footer…so they should all work now!
· I also made a small edit to my gumball solution in the Silent Hill Shattered Memories Puzzles and Walkthrough sections. Knwlss from Silent Hill Lost Memories kindly informed me that the order of the colored balls did not matter 🙂
Since I’m expanding my website “Always on My Mind” to include the newest Vatra SH game….this means I needed a new look! I also bought an additional domain name shshatteredmemories.com so my site could tailor to any new or old games in the series. Those whose use my shshatteredmemories.com address never fear as it will also point to my new site “Silent Hill Historical Society.”
Why change the site name too? Well I liked “Silent Hill Historical Society” since it’s an actual museum in Silent Hill 2. I don’t know if it will make a come back in the new game but I thought it would be a more appropriate theme and title since I plan on covering more games now! I may even fill out sections for the older titles who knows…so this site will be kind of like a Silent Hill history Museum! For right now though my focus will be on Shattered Memories and the new Silent Hill 8.
Things make look a little wonky as I make the transition so please bear with me!
Hell Descent will be conducting an interview with the new Silent Hill game composer Dan Licht! If you have a burning question of your own be sure to register and submit your question on the thread below!
I noticed a lot of cool things watching the HD version I didn’t before 🙂
The neat!
1) The monsters are pretty creepy. It looks like Murphy DIDN’T shoot the other inmate. From what I can see it looks like the female monster mauled and bit him. He was way too bloody from a single gunshot.
2) When the little girl jumps into frame there’s also a little boy in the doorway. The man she pushes is wearing jeans and a green button down shirt and not a prison coverall so it could be a flashback. Maybe the boy and girl are related to Murphy in some way. His kids…his siblings…random ghosts from that apartment? Their clothing did look dated next to the man in jeans.
3) The man on the TV seems to be black
4) Murphy is in a prison cell when the world shifts to the other world. I really like how the other world becomes like a vortex/blackhole and sucks all the stuff away.
5) Overall the world had a lot more color. Everything looked pretty gray and washed out before but I can a much more detailed Silent Hill now. If anything it really reminds me of the Blue Creek Apartments area of Silent Hill 2. The brief glimpses of fog look really good in my opinion. This could be the most “realistic” version of the town yet. Nice rain effects as well!
6) Great voice acting from the little we hear. I also like the music!
Not So great
1) Murphy looks pretty blah and plasticy…especially his hair. I’m really hoping he gets more detail on his character model.
2) Some animation does look stiff but I’m sure it will improve!
Overall I’m pretty DAMN excited 🙂 What about you guys?
My screencaps!
I’ve seen a lot of buzz this evening about the new Silent Hill (8) logo seen during Konami’s Press Conference this afternoon. In fact I’ve seen several fans claim how “cool it looks!” but to tell you the truth the only thing I’m feeling is a case of déjà vu!
I’ve seen this very same logo back in 2007…it’s the “Silent Hill” lettering from the official Silent Hill Origins/ Silent Hill Zero logo.
I really hope that it’s just a placeholder title for the e3 trailer since afterall the game is still a very much a work in progress and hasn’t even been officially named yet! Hopefully, the team at Vatra err–or should I say “Team Silence” (as they call themselves in the trailer) will come up with a unique logo once a name is settled on!
Okay I’ve decided to keep tabs on the new Silent Hill as well, so please continue to check back fro Silent Hill 8 goodness 🙂 I”ll try my best to stay up to date!
