TRAILER

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - June 16, 2010 - Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today unveiled Silent Hill 8 (working title), the eighth installment of the Silent Hill franchise. Scheduled to launch in 2011 on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Staying true to the franchise's original roots, the game returns with another third person horror experience, and an all new thought provoking storyline. Players will once again find themselves face to face with their deepest sins and fears in the strange world of Silent Hill. "In honoring the rich history and strong following of Silent Hill, we're working hard to build a next generation horror game that the fans truly deserve," said Shinji Hirano, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "This Silent Hill introduces an all-new storyline and unique evolutions in gameplay, building on innovations and successes from over a decade of true survival horror and terror." The survival horror experience begins after a prison transport vehicle careens off the road, leaving lone inmate Murphy Pendleton stranded in Silent Hill. Gamers will encounter mind-bending puzzles, as well as horrific creatures and other world terrors using everyday objects from wooden chairs to glass bottles to fend off their enemies. The natural response, fight or flight is left to the player as they unravel a dark, thought-provoking storyline which will appeal to fans of the early, classic Silent Hill series, as well as anyone who enjoys a deep, psychological horror experience. In addition to the main storyline, players will also be presented with variable side quests along the way that can change depending on their play style, revealing unknown evils within the town. Silent Hill 8 (working title) is scheduled to launch in 2011 on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.

[-COOLIO-]

daniel is the dexter composer

hype +1

[brandonh83]

Initial impressions:

-gameplay looked fantastic
-environments looked spooky as shit and detailed
-story seems like a new, neat idea
-HOLY SHIT THE COMPOSER

So far?

brandonh83 approved.

[ipukespiders]

Wasn't impressed with the graphics in the trailer.

[Paracelsus]

If it has little to do with Shattered Memories then count me in, whatever the outcome.

FUCK I MISSED SILENT HILL UNVEIL

WHERE ARE THE PICS/TRAILER

[farnham]

is it an fps as rumored

god i hope not

[brandonh83]

is it an fps as rumored god i hope not

Not FPS, not SH2 remake.

[Lakitu]

Oh shit. Daniel Licht? Dexter's OST is so awesome.

[Flek]

trailer looked cool :)

[Jenga]

daniel is the dexter composer hype +1

uh


so is he good or what


all i watched was season 1 + 2 and I can't say I remember much of dexter's soundtrack outside of the opening

[Dascu]

Looked like Alan Wake

[SolidSnakex]

I'm been very skeptical of it. But that actually looked good. The character model for the main character wasn't great, but the atmosphere was spot on for Silent Hill. It also seems like it's an original title, and that earns them major points.

I agree. They seemed to get their stuff right.

[Lakitu]

One of the best tracks imo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRxG8BjjwPk

[Discotheque]

Meh at Daniel Licht. Never really liked the Dexter soundtrack too much (outside of the main theme).

Actually meh at this whole thing. These new developers have a lot to prove.

[Jacobi]

FUCK I MISSED SILENT HILL UNVEIL WHERE ARE THE PICS/TRAILER

I also want to know.

[BMX Bandit]

Missed it. Hopefully we get screens/trailer somewhere tonight.

Link(s)?

[brandonh83]

I'm just glad the new composer has roots in classic horror cinema. That's pretty awesome.

Guys the trailer just aired at the Hookah conference. Give it a bit to come online :lol

[mello]

Trailer end credits for those of us who care.

At first glance, it didn't catch the SH vibe at all. If it didn't have SH tagged on as a title, it would be near impossible to identify it as part of the series.

- Overall style seemed so generic
- Graphics were mediocre
- Yamaoka was sorely missed

Will keep an open mind, but first impression was awful. :(

[disappeared]

Sounds good. I'm frantically trying to track down an upload of the trailer...

[panda21]

I'm pretty sure they said it would be like Shattered Memories, unless i misunderstood

[Dascu]

I'm pretty sure they said it would be like Shattered Memories, unless i misunderstood

No, they said it wouldn't be like SH:SM. They said it wouldn't be like SH:H either.

Besides, he picked up a gun, so there's definitely going to be some kind of combat.

Thank you. :)

[Pydte]

I thought i heard them say "no combat", but the trailer definitely indicated that combat, at least to some extent, is present.

[panda21]

No, they said it wouldn't be like SH:SM. They said it wouldn't be like SH:H either. Besides, he picked up a gun, so there's definitely going to be some kind of combat.

wasn't that the police officer woman with the gun?

i could swear they said it would be like SH:SM with the no-combat thing. :( if not.

[Danielsan]

I thought i heard them say "no combat", but the trailer definitely indicated that combat, at least to some extent, is present.

Haven't seen the trailer but this is good in my eyes.
It shouldn't be too combat focussed but I hated, HATED, the chase sequences in Shattered Memories.

[brandonh83]

A Team Silence production?! :lol :lol

[timetokill]

wasn't that the police officer woman with the gun? i could swear they said it would be like SH:SM with the no-combat thing. :( if not.

The main character picked up a gun at some point and shot somebody, but it was vague in the trailer as to whether it was a cutscene sort of moment or not. He could be reliving why he's going to jail.

[Prime Blue]

The protagonist picked up a gun and shot a humanoid bald zombie/ghost thing coming up behind him. As far as I remember, Gomez said the combat system would be enhanced.

[disappeared]

A Team Silence production?! :lol :lol

BELIEVE.

[Zenith]

mistake. see below.

[terrdactycalsrock]

daniel is the dexter composer hype +1

no wonder the music sounds so good. hype +2

[BMX Bandit]

Rebellion has one of the worst track records in the industry. Worse than Double Helix even.

What does that have to do with this game?

[Zen]

Rebellion has one of the worst track records in the industry. Worse than Double Helix even.

Rebellion usually delivers decent quality on their 'main' products.

[LittleTokyo]

The environments look good but the character models leave a bit to be desired.

[panda21]

rebellion are making this?

[Danielsan]

Doesn't look bad at all.
Looks like a competent horror game.
The Silent Hill that we knew and love is dead and I'm hungry for more horror games so I'll gladly take this.

I enjoy that composer's work on Dexter, but he doesn't hold a candle to Akira Yamaoka.
Well at least it will be a breath of fresh air on the music side of things.

[GhaleonQ]

Looks like new Silent Hill, which is *insert opinion here*. I'd rather live in a world with flawed Silent Hill than no Silent Hill, though.

[Boney]

That fast flashlight pointing looked really nice. Hope that's gameplay.

[Zombie James]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ0xV_ZJnWo

I liked everything except for the otherworld transition.

[brandonh83]

I'm a really, really big fan of the music in that trailer. And the atmosphere looks soooo good.

I liked everything except for the otherworld transition.

Yeah. I wish they had went with a more creative approach, but whatever, I'm shockingly pleased with how the game looks.

[Danielsan]

Looks like new Silent Hill, which is *insert opinion here*. I'd rather live in a world with flawed Silent Hill than no Silent Hill, though.

Bingo.
We need more good horror games.
I really liked Home Coming despite its many flaws

[Zenith]

What does that have to do with this game?

oh shit, I'm so dumb. I confused them with Rebellion who are doing that NeverDead game. Sorry, their conference really did a number on my head.

[disappeared]

Watched the trailer.

This looks fucking GOOOOOOD.

[Gravijah]

Can Daniel Licht do distorted music? All that matters.

[brandonh83]

Amazing shot there. That's the first time the town has really been shown like that, in a more compressed yet detailed way. The clock tower off in the distance is nice, and you can see the familiar garage buildings in the lower part of the screen.
