I'm a very big fan of Silent Hill, I have all four previous installations, but after watching the latest video footage of SH5 I'm quite disappointed..
The same can be said about Alone In the Dark, but at least Alone has some interesting gameplay to look forward to..
I don't know what is happening with the survival horror genre but both of this games in past were the true definition of it and I'm not pleased with how shallow both newest installations are.
Unless they improve (not visually), very sadly I'll have to rent both.. On the other hand Siren seems to be shaping nicely and it's doing exactly whay Silent Hill did for years. I'm still confident Resident Evil 5 will deliver, but I have been keeping track of both Alone In The Dark and especially Silent Hill 5 and they both look shallow to me.. Keep in mind that I grew up on both of those survival games and I know very well how great they are.
I'll wait for more footage to see how things unfold. Either the developers are really just money grabbing now and don't wish to develop properly, or this whole multiplatforming is starting to show the laziness..
