Is Silent Hill HD Collection Also Coming To PSN And XBLA?

Posted By: Whitney   January 26th, 2012 | 4:54 pm

Siliconera spotted PEGI ratings for Silent Hill 2 and 3 as individual titles for PS3 and Xbox 360 which means we could get each game individually via the Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade:

With help from Bluepoint Games, Konami remastered three Metal Gear Solid games and sold them on a single disc as Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. Then Konami split up the package and sold each game separately on PlayStation Network in Japan. Metal Gear Solid 2, 3, and Peace Walker will also be re-released on Xbox Live Arcade later this year.

It appears Konami will use the same strategy for Silent Hill HD Collection. Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 were rated as standalone PS3 and Xbox 360 titles by PEGI, Europe’s video game rating board.

I don’t know about you guys but I’m still planning on buying the collection on disc but I think it’s nice to have the option!

(Rumor) Pyramid Head in Revelation?

Posted By: Whitney   April 14th, 2011 | 10:21 pm

An interesting Lakeside Amusement Park set photo has surfaced…

Looks like Pyramid Head from the movie to me, I just hope he isn’t going to replace Valtiel. I’ll be very sad if he does. Now we don’t know this is a real picture but I figured I would post it here anyway. Hopefully we’ll get a confirmation soon!

(Rumor) Dame Maggie Smith in Silent Hill Revelation?

Posted By: Whitney   March 30th, 2011 | 12:09 am

According to a blurb in September 2010 issue EMPIRE magazine this Oscar winning actress was sent a script for Silent Hill: Revelation

“Is Dame Maggie Smith about to make a career first? The twice OSCAR winning British actress has reportedly announced she was sent a script for a “little horror film called “Silent Hill 2″”, the Harry Potter actress is quoted to have said. The actress, who won her first Academy Award in 1969 for “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” was said to have received the script last week and was overheard talking about it to a friend. If she chooses to accept the unknown role in the game adaptation sequel, this will mark the Dame’s first outing into the horror genre.”

Michael J. Bassett did mention a “Major Surprise Casting” announcement, do you think Smith could be it? If she is cast, who do you think she would play? Not Claudia…she way to old for the role hmm maybe another senior cult member? If Smith does end up joining the cast it would be pretty epic!

(Rumor) Kit Harington is Vincent Carter in Silent Hill Revelation

Posted By: Whitney   March 25th, 2011 | 7:48 pm

Recently local resident of Cambridge Ontario Canada, Kassie, sent in an update of shooting progress in Cambridge to Silent Haven and had this to say about Kit Harington,

“Confirmed on set is Adelaide Clemmens (playing Heather Mason) and Kit Harington (playing Vincent Carter, I confirmed this by looking over a call list on set)

So it looks like Kit a Vincent and not Stanley liked we hoped in the last Silent Hill Experienced podcast! But is he the Vincent from Silent Hill 3? As far as I know he didn’t have a last name. No official word from the Silent Hill Revelation Crew yet but it looks like this rumor does hold some water!

(Rumor) Multiplayer in the Works for Silent Hill?

Posted By: Whitney   March 18th, 2011 | 3:46 pm

In an interview with XBOX 360 Magazine in Italy, Radek Marek Art Director on Silent Hill: Downpour said Konami is considering multiplayer Silent Hill title for XBLA. There are no plans to add a multiplayer in Silent Hill: Downpour but there are talks to make a separate chapter and characters for this endeavor.

SilentHiller over on the Hell Descent forums was kind enough to translate most of this Italian interview the multiplayer related question is as follows:

360M: Can we expect a multiplayer mode in Silent Hill?

Marek: At the moment there will be no multiplayer modes in Silent Hill: Downpour, but Konami are investigating a separate chapter devoted entirely to the Multiplayer. We do not know the details but it should be an XBLA title that most players have to survive in the town of Silent Hill.

I’m not sure how well multiplayer would fit in with the other Silent Hill titles since isolation has always played a key role in the overall atmosphere in the previous games. In the end I guess it really comes down to how it’s implemented. It might be that characters are trying to meet up with one another and must traverse the big town alone to meet in a certain place or time. It could be more like a versus mode were several people take on the role of the creatures trying to hunt down the human player. It may be different then what we are used to but I know I’m interested to see how Konami pulls it off. I think I would have a lot of fun exploring Silent Hill with a friend. What about you guys?
