Silent Hill 8 Detailed

Silent Hill 8 is no more.  Don’t worry, Konami hasn’t lost the plot and cancelled the project, instead it’s got a fancy new name – Silent Hill: Downpour.  As one can imagine from a title like that, water plays a large part; in fact “It’s falling from the sky! It’s running from the ceiling! It’s in puddles on the ground!”

You play as Murphy Pendelton, an escaped convict who stumbles across a South-Eastern area of Silent Hill which has never before been accessible.  It seems that familiar Silent Hill locations such as schools and hospitals won’t be making a return, and sometimes you will forced to attack enemies and then flee.  Check out the original teaser trailer below.

  1. Looking forward to attacking enemies and the flee. Hope we are supplied with enough flee powder and will force.

    • Sorry. I’m actually quite psyched about the game :)

    • If they do it right, it could end up for quite a tense game running away from enemies, hopefully they give chase!

  2. I love Silent Hill games but the last couple have been sh*te, so i`m hoping this one takes it back to what it was and is good

  3. I really enjoyed origins and Homecoming so I was hoping that Climax would be the official SH developer from now on. Although this game does look good, Vatra seem to undertand the principle of Silent Hill a lot more than The Collective who did SH: Homecoming did anyway!

  4. what is the guy from fallout doing in here?!
    graphics look OK at best, physics look shit, not excited

  5. Oh darkly dreaming Murphy, why have you not learned that you shouldn’t have broke the law…

  6. nearly 4 mins long, dats some teaser! looks ok though.

  7. If its pulled of well it could be quite a tense and interesting game, and if not, well we all know waht the past games have been like.
