[fatigues_gasolini]

whoa, i was hearing rumors that this was canceled, or in turmoil.

 

[SolidSnakex]

They're finally turning it into SH.

 

[sphinx]

Amazing, I really thought this was vaporware.

Nice to see its coming. PSP is really hanging on there!.

I wish all " console wars" were like SNES vs GEN or DS vs PSP. Good things come from all sides.

 

[Wario64]

Screens look good. More importantly the game is still alive

 

[mckmas8808]

It's ALIVE!!!!!!!!!

 

[RamzaIsCool]

Awesome, looks really promising...

Dunno, I get a real SH1 vibe from these screens and that's a good thing.

 

[Y2Kev]

Wow, that looks really good.

 

[Ravidrath]

Looks very nice - looks like Climax UK saved the project. I still worry that the game will be really short, but we'll see.

Don't think this means that the project didn't have issues, though, because it was originally supposed to be finished by Climax LA last September.

 

[jj984jj]

It's alive? But didn't the studio close? Who's making it now? Looks completely different.

Edit: Climax UK? They are making Oblivion PSP as well IIRC, anything else we know of done by this studio?

[Kiriku]

Sweet, it's still coming. I'm excited.

 

[SolidSnakex]

Gamers take the role of Travis O’Grady, a trucker who finds himself stranded in Silent Hill after he rescues a young girl – Alessa – from a fire. Travis doesn’t quite know what happened to the girl he saved. In the demo we played, he locates the hospital in Silent Hill where he assumes is where the girl is, and this is where the game begins. Upon entering the hospital, he meets a strange doctor who he asks about Alessa. The doctor blows him off and tells Travis he has more important things to attend to, then disappears down an elevator. Instead of doing the sane thing and getting the hell out of there, Travis follows down the elevator where the demented adventure continues.

As Travis explored the hospital to find any clues as to what was going on, we encountered the trademark twitching nurse flipping out. Here is where you’re introduced to combat. By holding R you initiate combat mode with whatever weapon you have (default weapons are fists), and by holding R and pressing X you attack. You can charge your attacks by holding down X for a longer time, and by pressing square you can block. After pounding the nurse down to the ground, we walked up to the twitching body and pressed X to perform a finishing move – which was basically a head stomp.

This sounds amazing. And on top of that the trailer videos seem like SH unlike the previous trailers which seemed like some kind of imitation. The only thing those had going for it was Yamaoka's music.

Poor jpeg compression is killing those pics, still looks nice tho. I wish they would switch to png or something for showing off screenshots.

 

[Y2Kev]

Videos look unbelievable.

 

[djkimothy]

Am I pathetic if I buy a PSP just for this game?

 

[TekunoRobby]

I'm excited.

 

[Ravidrath]

Edit: Climax UK? They are making Oblivion PSP as well IIRC, anything else we know of done by this studio?

This is the same team and studio that did Ghost Rider on PS2/PSP. It's also the same engine Oblivion PSP uses.

 

[mabuza]

ITS ALIVE ITS ALIVE

 

[theBishop]

Am I pathetic if I buy a PSP just for this game?

you're pathetic if you don't already have a PSP

 

[djkimothy]

you're pathetic if you don't already have a PSP

Bahhhhh! <cries>

 

[cvxfreak]

Loving the premise in this one.

 

[Vasili2K38]

Wow, this game has turned to be sorprisingly promising, and very SH, not that crappy RE4 shit. Can't wait to it

 

[Oni Jazar]

YAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!


I was getting really depressed today after hearing SH5 news and realizing that SH Origins was no where to be found. My biggest fears were creeping inside like those little scarabs in SH1.


Looks like they took out the RE4 camera angles? I really didn't care either way to me SH was more about atmosphere then anything else.

This looks to be just like the original. I played through SH1 on my PSP recently and it still scared the shit out of me. Can't wait for this!

 

[Buttonbasher]

Just sold me the PSP in 2 vids and screens.

 

[mckmas8808]

I swear to god I'm not trolling, but does this game look better than most Wii games?

Does it almost look as good as RE4 to you guys? The lighting looks nice!

 

[Mar]

Big improvement in the visuals. It actually looks like a Silent Hill game now.

I still can't force myself to believe this could be a good game though. I'll wait for reviews and impressions before I get excited.

 

[brandonh83]

Just sold me the PSP in 2 vids and screens.

same :lol

Was already getting one for Dracula X but this almost looks good enough to hold me over until SH5 (lol)

 

[Matix]

Looks ****ing ace x2, what an incredible improvement.

 

[Y2Kev]

HOLD ME BRANDON

 

[SketchTheArtist]

Dude! I was sold when I saw the Gillepsie house burning!! Awesome!

 

[brandonh83]

HOLD ME BRANDON

I'm not touching you but I am here in this time of need, o Lord.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

HOLY ****ING SHIT!!!

PSP GET BITCHES

omg this destroys MGS PO graphics

 

[Matix]

So when is this update SH hotness planned to be released now?!

 

[GeoramA]

Looks pretty damn nice.

Konami definitely knows their way around the PSP.

 

[mckmas8808]

Looks nice.

 

[Y2Kev]

Not as good as RE4, but better than a lot of stuff out there now.

That ain't "poor jpeg coompression". The graininess is intentional, it's not supposed to look clean. It's a very powerful effect since it camouflages low-res textures, color banding and patterned dithering.

 

[Zombie James]

Yummy

 

[Doom_Bringer]

wow this has to be the best looking PSP game yet! It's either on par with Syphon Filter Dark mirror or it exceeds it.

Wow @ Konami

 

[Pimpbaa]

I know the Silent Hill games have a grain filter. But there is HEAVY jpeg artifacting in those pics.

 

[djkimothy]

Looks nice.

WTF? The animation and flashlight effects are awesome!

 

[M3d10n]

Looks nice.

See Capcom? That's how you should have done the flashlight in RE4.

Spoiler

Even farkin' Necronesia does it (sans the shadows)!

More projected textures, plz!

Looking awesome.

I know the Silent Hill games have a grain filter. But there is HEAVY jpeg artifacting in those pics.

Grain and JPEG compression are mortal enemies. It always borks the compression unless you use the maximum quality.

 

[Zombie James]

"There's something wrong with the mirror. The reflection isn't right..."

I love it! :lol

 

[Wario64]

PSP is a beast.

 

[Red Blaster]

Gonna be awesome playing this in bed with headphones on.

 

[NeonBlade]

That is what I'm talking about. Freaking awesome!

Maybe I can hold off my PSP hate for a few more months. Stares at PSP...........

I must balance it out by mindless hating on the DS, then I can resume PSP hate.

 

[KiNeSiS]

PSP is easily becoming my favorite system.
A Real Metal Gear Game.
GTA Games
A Real God Of War
Syphon Filter
Def Jam FFNY
Fight Night

All I need now is A Fire Pro Wrestling, Resident Evil, & A Ninja Gaiden and it would be a wrap.
