[The Wintertime is already cold and dark and a little scary, but Konami plans to make it downright terrifying next year. Over the first three months of 2012, the publisher plans to release three new games in the Silent Hill series. Konami plans to ease us into their Silent Hill marathon with the release of the Silent Hill HD Collection on January 24. The PS3/Xbox 360 package collects Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 together and gives them an HD makeover for the first time. In February, the terror goes portable as Silent Hill: Book of Memories comes to the Vita. Sony's next handheld is scheduled for a February 22 launch in the US, so consider this one a launch title. Finally, the Vatra Games-developed Silent Hill: Downpour will be released for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in March. And they say Christmas Halloween comes but once a year.] LOL talk about desperate milking. http://www.warpzoned.com/?p=15377

I don't think they're milking. And I very much look forward to the HD collections. I can't wait! And Silent Hill Downpour I will watch closely.

Downpour looks pretty bad and i will only get the HD collection if the original voices are back.

And sadly, none of them will be as good as shattered memories.

A lot of people seem to agree the older SH's were better than Shattered Memories. I hope they are right. And I want to be frightened, apparently the older SH's will do that.

Well they did bring Homecomming to PC. I see no reason to not bring Downpour as well.

I'm interested in the HD collection since I've never played them, but I played some of 4 and it was probably the scariest game I've played (though it was one of my first, so it might not be as scary now). Shame 4 isn't in the collection, but like I said, I never played the other ones.

Downpour also looks pretty fantastic. It looks like Yahtzee's dream SH. New character with no relation to any other in the series, personalized horrors, change in the fog and old locations for new areas and rain, emphasis on running and hiding as much as combat, etc.

I don't even know if I'll get a Vita yet. I really want one, but even if I do get one I'll probably focus on grabbing as many cheap, downloadable PSP titles as I can (while using the 5 I got from the welcome back package), then buying PSV titles once they go down in price.

Even though I'm very pro multiplat for every system, I always kind of feel reluctant on the PC side when people complain.

I feel bad my PC brethren can't experience a great game (like I do when someone with an Xbox and a budget can't play Amnesia), but then I look at the specs of whoever complains and all I can think about is how they don't have any of today's incredibly cheap consoles to play it on when they have such a stellar and pricey rig.

No offense, but its like someone buying a nice sub sandwich and adding all the bacon, cheese and more cheese for $1 each, then complaining they can't get any cheap fries for another $1 because they spent $20 on one sandwich and got 3 sets of the same cheese for $3 for that sandwich.

All that said, I'm sure it will come to PC later if Homecoming is any indication, so I wouldn't be worried.

Me = curious. I feel like Downpour is going to be..not very good. There's always hope, though. Survival horror needs some help now that Capcom is content on going dudebro with Resident Evil and making it a TPS.

As long as Frictional games exists, terrifying survival horror will always exist. Heck, the Dead Space games are alright and tense, and I think the Souls games could count if only because of the dark setting, grotesque monsters and fear of death.

I will agree SM is a great game,but I still find the orginals better. Again thats not to take anything away from SM.

Silent Hill: Book of Memories is a top-down action co-op game by the looks of that it. Staying clear of that one.

Well, naturally, given that the HD collection includes actual Silent Hill gameplay.

Only Silent Hill I have ever played was the first one. I beat it, but didn't like it, so I never followed the series from that point on. Same thing happened with Devil May Cry. Played and beat the first, didn't like it, never followed the series after that.

well, that one aside of course. But Downpour is just going to feel like a step back.

Well of course. It's another outsourced game. Konami lost two of their most important teams this gen. Ironically, since they lost Team Silent they've released more "Silent Hill" games than ever.

I can't justify spending $300 + $60 games + DLC + high priced accessories for something that ONLY does gaming. Especially when I only want a handful of titles.

Call me cheap all you want, but my $800 PC was worth every penny. I just don't feel I can say the same about a console at the price point they're still at 6 years into the generation.
