Ladies and Gentlemen...Silent Hill: Homecoming (Teh H0rr0r! 56k)

You think a game is coming along nicely, "This looks pretty good!" I says to myself:

and

...and then...this:

and

assault my eyes.

Ok, this one is early...I know this...but come on Konami...seriously. Silent Hill was always a graphical tour de force, pushing each system to its limits. Sure, it had its bad moments, but more often than not the game absolutely shined. Don't bury a great franchise just yet!

best survival horror game of 2008, the music will be ace like alwaysomus101

Itl win in immersiveness, but Left 4 Dead is going to be the most awesome survival horror of 2008 :D looks crazy.

Maybe it's going multi-plat? I wouldn't be suprised to see this on the PS2 and Wii as well.goblaa

That would be cool. I'd buy it for the Wii.

Correct, but in horror games atmosphere is everything, something a Wii-mote cannot offer over technically superirior machines.

Atmosphere =/= shadows.

No but it' gives a greater potential, even with art direction.

"Potential" means nothing if it's not utilized. If I had to quantify it, I'd say graphics only affect maybe 10% of atmosphere. Most of the rest is affected by TENSION, which, in games, is accomplished through proper game design, NOT graphics.

I think its been confirmed 360 and PS3. Maybe even for a long time now. This new development studio is slipping.

If presented the right way. See Siren: New Translation for a glimpse at how horror graphics should be done.

Can't wait to play this game.

This series died to me after 2. I might get round to playing 3 some time in the future.

The original team isn't working on SH5. Akira Yamaoka is still making the sound for this game though so it's not all bad.

But oh well. :(

Seriously, though, what was shown in that trailer wasn't very impressive, graphically.

Are you talking about the sequel to the 6.7-rated game?

You've gotta play the demo, the lighting is fantastic. You can tell the graphics wouldn't be amazing on their own but the way they are presented is just fantastic. I'm a big fan of the game from what I've played of it.

Perhaps. But that just proves that limited graphical technology doesn't hamper atmosphere.

so this is a wii game right... because it looks worse than SH3, graphics wise.GTSaiyanjin2

SH3 had a fixed camera angle... either way I hope they are still working on this game.

Konami is having trouble making step to this gen,,, look at MGS, winning eleven and now this,,, bad texturessignore

All of them pushing the system to it limits. Wans't one of the SH games going to be another game but they though it would sell better with Silent Hill added to the title maybe the 3rd one.

Silent Hill has not been a graphical leader IMO. Not that there bad but they are just dark with low detail.wooooode

So was force unleashed, and look how that turned out.

I would love to play some silenthill with a wiimote. The game might actually control well for once.

What?

poor kojima there having a tough time finding there grove this gen.Nolan16

I think you mean Konami. And if you did... they still have MGS4, which I'm guessing you knew since you said Kojima.
