It sounds like someone is playing Rock Band in the background, but it's an awsome video nonetheless.
Anyone else looking forward to this, and which version, (360, or PS3), are you picking up?
Silent Hill 5 is shaping up pretty well...

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]I'm extremely skeptical. I wrote a huge blog post about my fears for Silent Hill 5 (Homecoming now). I really wish Team Silent were making it.vickissv2
does it really matter though when the original creator of the series is still on board guiding the project?
You bet it does matter. Here, I'll repost my blog post. The Beginning of the End I've been a long time Silent Hill fan, and have bought practically every last thing Konami has put out. The picture books, Origins, the novels, details of backstory, etc. Whatever has the Silent Hill name I tend to buy. Its not suprise that I've been following Silent Hill 5 closely. Its one of the sequals to my favorite franchise of all time! After seeing this shot in a german magazine I was shooting up White Claudia and scrambling for my Silent Hill 2 game while trying to tie the new hero to the old cast:
And then came the illfate day of April 26, 2008. I was browsing neogaf forums looking for some good gaming news when I came across some media concerning Silent Hill [Homecoming]. Apparently there have been new footage released of the game. So I non-challantly opened the thread and began perusing the pictures. To my chagrin, it seems as if the entire character model for the character had changed, and the graphics turned to some unrecognizable mush! 
Needless to say I was distraught. I kept trying to find a reason why the graphics would have taken such a HUGE downgrade. Was it something that happened? Was the game lost in translation? Or was it merely a mix up, and screenshots of an unnanounced Wii version of the game were accidently released? The latter question was the one that gave me comfort. Maybe my favorite franchise of all time would still be left intact. But then it hit me. I saw a link to new gameplay videos of the 360 version of the game. I knew it was the 360 version because it had the 360 version controls. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Spb1pvbVklU Those horrible texture and changed character model stared me down, beating me into the painful truth. Many people on the neo gaf forums are beginning to tell me that they downgraded the visuals so everyone on every platform would be getting a similar experience. I thought to myself, "So help me god, if thats the case the world will see an even more vengeful wrath that makes Fallout Vandal look like Princess Zelda". I'm still skeptic, as this hasn't been confirmed yet. Could this merely be some early Wii version that didn't get its control buttons phased over? I'm overly optimistic, but so help me god. Mark my words if the Wii screwed up my favorite franchise of all time, there WILL be heck to pay.
