[Scarlett.]

lol, but you can play the proper Silent Hill Shattered Memories xD

Save up for a PS3 or 360 xD

I actually have Shattered Memories.. I need to get back into it. I kind of lost interest quite quickly actually (although I think it was the kids constant insistence that we play Mario, sports etc instead)

And yeah, I need to get me a PS3 :)

[Scarlett.]

OMFG! They're bringing back the fixed camera!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Patrick]

*punches herself in the face for buying a Wii instead of a PS3*

:bawling:

Wii's are for pussies, I have one though just because it was so new back in '06.

PS3 is bollocks and is only good for a few exclusives, just get an Xbox :thumbs:

[Scarlett.]

Apparently the boss battles will be Quick time events - I'm not bothered, I always find boss battles a little cliched

[Scarlett.]

Here's a map showing where the new game will take place in Silent Hill (a completely new area, the first one since SH2)

http://i51.tinypic.com/33u60s4.png

[Scarlett.]

Apparently the new Silent Hill area has a subway system too, so this must be the part of the town that gives it it's city name lol, the subway was mentioned in Silent Hill 4, when it said Walter used to take the train to Ashfield to see his "mum" aka Room 302

[Scarlett.]

THe town is looking a lot more developed in this game
http://i56.tinypic.com/2vnhn5k.png

[Scarlett.]

Though not much is being revealed about the story, it is confirmed that

A. Pyramid Head will NOT be back (his appearance in Homecoming was dumb)
B. The Order will NOT be back (They were wiped out during SH2/3/4 and brought down again when they resurged in Homecoming)
C. Murphy Pendleton (main character) is totally unrelated to The Order/History of Silent Hill
D. A postman named "Howard Blackwood" appeared in both the "Past Life" prequel comic and the trailer for the game - even though Past Life was set in the 1800's
http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/7/76705/1455361-postman_super.jpg
E. Downpour's story is standalone like Silent Hill 2's

COming this autumn!

[Lee.]

Oh it looks good!" :(

[Scarlett.]

It looks epic - the picture of the otherworld looks like something from SH3 :D

[Scarlett.]

I notice that the fog is a lot more realistic now too, more like what you would see in real life

[Scarlett.]

mEft_YLMF-8

Composed by Daniel Licht (composer of 'Dexter'), not Akira Yamaoka (and no vocal songs this time either it seems)

[Iceman]

it looks amazing

[Scarlett.]

It definately blows Homecoming out of the water (here's a pic of a scene from that game)

Note, this picture is from Homecoming, released in 2009, not Downpour

[Iceman]

the difference is huge :shocked:

[Scarlett.]

Aye, that was a 360/PS3 game, just look at the state of the paper on the desk xD the dev team behind that game were crap - they brought Pyramid Head into it, just because (in the game series he has deep meaning to a character from the second game - unlike in the movie)

Also their characters looked ****ty xD

[Scarlett.]

GI: How did your involvement with Silent Hill: Downpour begin?

Daniel Licht: I was approached by Konami. I know that they wanted to get someone that the fans might be happy about to take Akira [Yamaoka]’s place. We know Akira’s very popular with the game. I guess the idea is that the composer for Dexter might come up with some interesting ideas for Silent Hill.

GI: You also worked on the Hellraiser series. You have something in common with the design director for Silent Hill: Downpour, Brian Gomez, who also worked with Clive Barker on Jericho. Did you work closely with Clive Barker?

DL: Well, Clive Barker hired me, definitely. I’m pretty good friends with Christopher Young. I’ve actually worked for Christopher Young for awhile. He’s the composer of the first Hellraiser. But Clive was aware of my work and picked me to do Hellraiser IV. I didn’t work with him specifically other than he had to okay the score. It’s not like he came over every day, I worked with the director on that and the producers.

GI: Where does most of your inspiration come from?

DL: Other than the great horror masters of the past? Obviously Bernard Herman [composer for Hitchcock classics like Psycho –Ed.] a… is that what you mean by inspiration? Or inspiration for this particular job?

GI: Anything.

DL: Well I’m absolutely influenced by scores like Gerry Goldsmith’s The Omen, and Alien, and I’ve studied a lot of 20th century composition. I’ve always liked to incorporate a lot of atonal and experimental sounds into my work. That’s kind of one of the things that attracts me to working in the horror genre, is that you can push the envelope a bit and go out on the edge. But then there’s also a very emotional aspect to a lot of music. There’s always moments – obviously because there’s a lot of death – there’s a lot of emotion going on. So horror films tend to have music with a lot of strong emotion to it. That’s always been important in what I like to do.

GI: You mentioned sound experimentation and I know you’ve used human bones as instruments in Dexter. I also know that in the past Akira did sound design for Silent Hill games. Do you have any part in the overall sound design of Silent Hill: Downpour?

DL: I’m not involved on the sound design, other than I am doing some ambient music. In certain sections it may be hard to tell what’s sound design and what’s music, so I’m doing some kind of ambient, washy, tension sounds. I’m not involved in the specific sound design elements like the heart effects or room tones or anything like that.

GI: I’ve read that you aim for subtlety in Dexter rather than hitting viewers over the head with heavy string sections to accompany a jump scare or something. Are you taking the same approach to Downpour or are you trying something different?

DL: Well, I’ve played some of the earlier games…

GI: What’d you think?

DL: It’s a great game. I really like it a lot. I haven’t played them all just because I have a PS3, but I’ve had walkthroughs of the games I haven’t played just to get an idea. I’m trying to study the history of the game, so that what I do comes out of what has come before me. I’ve done that in the past with films. I did a Hellraiser, obviously I had to look at the other Hellraisers. I did an Amityville, and I had to look at the other Amityvilles. And I did a Children of the Corn, so it’s something I’ve had to do before. It’s always something you want to do, and put your signature on something, but you always want to serve whatever it is you’re working on first. If it’s something with a deep tradition, you generally want to acknowledge the tradition.

GI: Fans of Silent Hill love Akira’s work. His music is a little more out there and noticeable than most horror soundtracks. Are you going for something that’s more traditional for horror games, similar to Dexter, or quirky like past Silent Hills?

DL: Yeah, I definitely want to do something that has a personality and is not just functional. In Dexter the music is a part of the feel of the show. It’s not just functional music. It really has its own character. Part of the reason is that it’s noticeable. I don’t do the obvious choices in terms of the music with Dexter. I’m playing against picture a lot. I don’t try to get attention, I always try to serve the story in the picture and move that along.

But yeah, I do want the music to make a statement, absolutely, and give a unique feel to everything. I do think that’s important. I think people spend a lot of hours playing these games and the music may loop or whatever, but I think if it’s good music it adds to the experience. I think that’s what people have felt about the music in Silent Hill. I think the music is interesting and it adds to their experience. That is definitely on my mind. I want to keep the music interesting and adding to the experience of the game, but not distracting from the gameplay, if that makes any sense.

GI: I’ve noticed this is your first time composing for a video game. Tell me about the process.

DL: It’s interesting because in a sense when I work on a TV show or a film I think of the music as functional pieces. In other words, I write all my themes first. I might write a chase theme, or a love theme, or an action theme, or a suspense theme, and then I’ll have those in my pocket when I’m ready to score the film. I might write them to a different scene or use them in different places. With a video game you’re doing the same thing, but you’re not always locking those themes to picture, if you know what I mean. You are for the cutscenes – you’re scoring the cutscenes – but the process of coming up with the material is the same, really.

Some people who are working on a film or TV sit down and they’ll just score the scene. I tend to think about the music and then I mold the music to the scene. So it’s a similar kind of process. I’m going through the game and trying to give an arc to it as well. Definitely between each level I’ll give an arc to it. Obviously you’re going to start with suspense then you go into a fight or an escape or whatever music. I’m trying to set up the levels so that they build. So in that sense it’s a similar process, but it’s just not tied to footage.

GI: Tell me about the instruments you’re using.

DL: I actually did use some mandolin for some of it because I know that was a key instrument.

GI: Great, that’s one of the things I wished they’d use more of in the entire series.

DL: Yeah, so that was kind of calling back to… I think it was Silent Hill 1.

GI: Yes, they have it at the very beginning of the game. Wasn’t it flamenco style or something? I’m probably wrong…

DL: It’s tremolo, a fast tremolo pick. So I’m using that. I still have a ways to go. I’m really just getting started with the music. In terms of what I intend to do I am using some piano. I did notice that on some of the blogs certain players have said there are similarities between Dexter and Silent Hill, and with sort of the dark, repeating figures, I did notice Akira did that sometimes. I do the same thing in Dexter, so we have a similarity of styles in a certain corner. He tends to be much more of an industrial sound than what I do, but I am working with some of the industrial sounds as well, to keep with the nature of the game. I’m also bringing in my style as a composer, I tend to use more organic sounds as well. I’m also bringing in some of my organic sounds – very tense or eerie sounding sounds.

GI: Are you going to be playing on any human femurs for Silent Hill: Downpour? Using a ribcage as a xylophone or something like that?

DL: Would you like to offer yours?

GI: Sure, if you’re looking for one. My body could be sacrificed for much less meaningful purposes.

[Laughs]

DL: I don’t have any ribcages available right now, but I do have a percussionist I work with who does have some human bones and stuff. I may use some human bones in the game. I guess they came from Mexico or something. There will probably be some human bone work in this Silent Hill as well. I guess it’s becoming a signature of mind.

GI: Is it tough following Akira, who earned such a rabid fanbase? Do you have anything to say to the fans?

DL: I really like his work. I have a lot of respect for his work, and I really like the series a lot. I’m trying to do my best to honor that and bring something new and exciting to that at the same time. That’s my intention. I’m hoping that the fans will be happy with it.

GI: From what I’ve heard I think they’re going to be. I’m a big fan of video game music and this is very impressive so far.

DL: I’m a big fan of music in video games as well – as long as it’s good.

GI: Do you have any personal favorites?

DL: For video game themes? I don’t know about particular themes, but I like the music in BioShock. I like the way it works and is placed. I just hear stuff that I like. I’m spacing right now, but I just hear good themes in it, and people put a lot of effort into it. There’s a lot of creativity.

GI: What’s your favorite Silent Hill? Either composition-wise or based on what you thought was cool.

DL: That’s a good question. The one I know best is Homecoming, just because that’s the one I’ve played end to end. Other than that I like Silent Hill 2, the guitar pieces in there are really nice. The other games I’ve just gone through and seen clips from. I didn’t keep track of which games they were so it’s hard to say. I liked a lot of it.

- Out of the franchise, the guys at Vatra Games like Silent Hill 2 the most thus, they are orientating on that game.

- GamePro was intrigued by Dan Licht, the new composer who took Akira Yamaoka’s place. They say it sounds like “a modern version of Akira Yamaoka’s work”.

- The player will be put in various situations where he has to decide wether to help someone or let him die.

- The puzzles are “really nice” and vary.

- To prevent players from getting stuck, Murphy will talk to himself on the lowest difficulty level which will help players to find solutions to puzzles etc.

- There will be a bunch of quick time events, however the game will not support Kinect or Move.

- Combat and gameplay is pretty bad at this time of development, also the camera sometime moves like its being used “by a drunken monkey” Vatra promised to improve on that of course.

- The game will be semi-open world. You will be able to explore the city, take side quests, or move on with the main quest. However, the player cannot visit any place in Silent hill from the very beginning.

- There will be different endings.

Konami's Tomm Hulett has waved aside "strong" fan criticism of exploration "short cuts" built into Silent Hill: Downpour, saying that complaints are the product of "misconception".

The new game (eighth in the series) stars Murphy Pendelton, an escaped convict unlucky enough to wander into the spooky Midwestern 'burg, and will return the series to the more open-ended level format offered by the original and first sequel.

With the playing area reported to be much larger than that of any previous Silent Hills, Vata Games has designed a run-down subway system to offer fast travel between areas. Fans have slated the move, arguing that the inclusion of a subway cuts against the franchise's moody backwater ethos, but according to Hulett, their fears are misplaced.

"We've noticed that the idea of a "Subway system" has really gotten a strong response from fans," the Konami producer told OXM in an interview. "I think there's a misconception that Murphy will be buying tickets and waiting on the platform for the 5:00 train to reach his destination."

"It's a lot more 'Silent Hill' than all that. As you can see in the screenshots, along the way to a train platform Murphy will locate broken areas in the wall he can squeeze through."

"These lead to service tunnels that he can traverse to reach other areas of town. So as you can see, the subway tunnels are 'shortcuts' that will speed up your town navigation - not literal train rides."

Murphy will carry a town map, automatically updated with red arrows and crosses in keeping with series tradition, and devotees can expect "plenty of nods to past Silent Hills" in the environments.

Look out for more from Hulett shortly in the form of a mighty OXM feature. In the meantime, here are some screenshots and concept arts to chew over. Keep tuning that radio.

______________________________

Also in a podcast interview with 'Silent Hill Experienced', writer, Tom Waltz detailed the amount of exploration in the game, stating that there will be dozens of side quests in each playthrough that will adapt to your playing style ala Shattered Memories

Also, running water will apparently symbolise the need to RUN LIKE HELL! As a preview details a scene when the rain starts coming, you're left with the choice to fight the creatures or hide until it's passed

It's been hinted throughout the series (Harry and Heather used to live in Portland)/Shepherd's Glen's town hall had books on New England mining towns

Anyway, here's the proof that cements it
Prison bus has Maine numberplate, and has the writing "Maine Department of Corrections" above the fire exit door. (http://www.silenthillmemories.net/sh8/screens/pics/sh_downpour_screen_100619_01.jpg)

http://www.mcvuk.com/features/924/INTERVIEW-Pete-Stone

[Scarlett.]

Not much, but a little look at the game
j8aI4nZ24Jw

[Scarlett.]

Looks like the weapons actually break apart in real time, instead of being in one piece, then suddenly breaking

[Scarlett.]

A few pics from the trailer, looks like it's from earlier on in the production cycle

Oh that looks brilliant! I do like me some Silent Hill! I remember the very first one for the PS1 I bought and didn't properly play for about a year as it used to scare me like mad (think I was only about 9 at the time!)

[Scarlett.]

Lol! Same here, it too me ages to complete Silent Hill 2, even though I was playing on the Beginner difficulty, where only Pyramid Head can really kill you xD

[LaLaLand]

Lol! Same here, it too me ages to complete Silent Hill 2, even though I was playing on the Beginner difficulty, where only Pyramid Head can really kill you xD

Hah I know the feeling. Which was it that not far from the very start you had to walk down an alleyway and the camera view was like from a high-up angle (possibly CCTV aspect) and you couldn't see what was around the corner? Think it was SH1. THAT took me about an hour to brave going around the corner lmao.

EDIT: HERE IT IS!

[Scarlett.]

Haha! That alley was PURE nightmare fuel xD

The producer of Downpour just explained to me and a few other fans that the weapons in the new game, when broken, will still be useable, but things such as falling down a long drop can take away your weapons

[Rob]

That's quite scary!

[Scarlett.]

It gets much worse than that :p

[Rob]

Lovely lol, not my kinda thing then!

[Scarlett.]

I hope Downpour manages to be as scary lol

[Scarlett.]

Rumour has it that Downpour could be one of the Wii 2 launch titles

[Scarlett.]

The producer just confirmed to me that we will be able to use a rifle and pistol as Melee weapons :3

[Scarlett.]

10 hours to go

WOW! Well I'm getting this game for sure. Lol.

[Scarlett.]

I love how we're getting scenes set in the real world too, usually we're just thrown into the foggy world

[Scarlett.]

Listen at around the 2:32 mark, and you will hear the man himself...Solid Snake! Or at least everyone seems so

Brian Gomez, a developer tweeted this
"Sorry, I cannot divulge anything about casting, or Solid Snake puts a bullet through my temple."

Just found this screenshot

More info

Publisher: Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.

Developer: Vatra Studios

Platform: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3

Release Date: October 2011

Genre: Survival Horror

ESRB: RP (Mature expected)

Players: 1 player

Website: www.konami.com/silenthill

Full Game Description:

Murphy Pendleton has been incarcerated for several years, having had his sentence extended once already. Due to his history at Ryall State Prison, he is being transferred to nearby Wayside Maximum Security Penitentiary—but a freak accident cuts the journey short. Waking up in a forest next to the wrecked bus, Murphy has a clear shot at freedom. He makes his way into the sleepy town of Silent Hill where mysterious locals welcome him into a slowly developing personal hell.

Silent Hill Downpour is the latest Silent Hill game offering the familiar Survival Horror gameplay delivered in the most defined visual quality to date. The game also expands on the exploration theme of the franchise both design-wise and through psychological torture, ambient story, horrific enemies and self-evaluative questions of despair.

Ew KORN? :bored:

[Scarlett.]

Ew KORN? :bored:

I'm not bothered that much lol, it's like Leona and FFXIII, FFXIII gets a hell of a lot of free promo, and only uses the song at the end :P

[Scarlett.]

Remember Daniel Licht is still the composer, so he wont want Korn taking over scenes that are his.

This will be used at one point in the game (twisted of course)

[Scarlett.]

Aye ^ :D

They were just interviewing Devin on Gamespot while playing the demo, it looks even better in motion. I'm intrested in hearing the Korn song, feels weird to have a real world band doing a song for Silent Hill xD

[Scarlett.]

Love this screenshot

Contrary to the whole Korn thing, Mary is apparently also being said to be doing the main theme, I'm guessing two versions of the same song - Mary doing the opening, Korn doing the credits

First game since Silent Hill 3 to get the 15 rating and not the 18 one
http://www.bbfc.co.uk/website/Classified.nsf/ClassifiedWorks/B754A468162B5A188025792700477E85

[Scarlett.]

Design director, Brian Gomez told me "That's very surprising considering the content. Not just some gore and violence, but very adult themes."

and he's not joking, there's references to some pretty adult stuff according to the ESRB (US) rating, guess this just proves how leniant the BBFC is

Meh, I don't really trust big name reviewers, but the rest of them gave it good/average scores anyway. Plus IGN thinks Call of Duty is a 10/10 game...so, I dont think they like the same type of games I like

Got the soundtrack today :D

[Scarlett.]

I imported from America, the game is fantastic, it really lives up to the Silent Hill game, and for the first time in a long while, I felt uneasy while playing a video game, the game keeps you on edge at all times. The story is fantastic and doesnt rely on a "Silent Hill 2" style plot twist, the visual effects in the game are like nothing I've ever seen in a game before.

I imported from America, the game is fantastic, it really lives up to the Silent Hill game, and for the first time in a long while, I felt uneasy while playing a video game, the game keeps you on edge at all times. The story is fantastic and doesnt rely on a "Silent Hill 2" style plot twist, the visual effects in the game are like nothing I've ever seen in a game before.

Worth the wait, Chewy? The reviews are fairly horrid, I'm going to hold out for a price drop. :joker:

Ignore the reviews I say, if you like Silent Hill, you'll like this game. The reviews whine about the combat, but that's only because it's more like the traditional system than Homecoming's Resi 5 style combat. The game builds up a good horror atmosphere too. It's true survival horror.

Best licensed song I've heard in the game

IGN seem to be awkward bastards,and im not the only one to think so either,so if they gave this a bad score then it's more than likely a very good game.

I've been to busy at the moment so I will probably be playing in a couple of weeks time.

It's weird HD Collection has failed and Downpour is the better game, I didnt expect that xD

Looks like today's the big day huh?
