Silent Hill Heaven

One thing I've noticed, he's not got a clip on flashlight, so that either means he has to put it away in combat, or there is no combat, maybe. Or perhaps he will have a handy torch holder like Murphy did.

P.T. is confirmed to appear at Konami's stage show, to be honest, I'd bet we can expect Kojima to talk about it at every event he appears at from now on, even if it's just behind the scenes stuff.

The view from the Observation Deck is actually an edited picture of a lake in England too

I expect it to be referenced in a sort of Walter Sullivan in Silent Hill 2 sort of way.

People go on about the "Sex and death" stuff, but really that was only part of Silent Hill 2's plot, 1,3 and 4's weren't designed in the same way, the closest was Silent Hill 3, but generally that wasn't so much about sex, than birth.

Yeah, some of the areas in Homecoming looked like they'd just made a box room, slapped some textures on and added a few generic props. I always thought 0rigin's did a really good job of being a Silent Hill game.

Photorealism is a big thing for me. I always associated Silent Hill with the most realistic graphics you could squeeze out of the ps2. Sure the textures were hand painted, but in the most realistic way. The ps3 era games bafflingly decided to go cartoon-style, perhaps to make it easier on themselve...

I like open world things when done well, but not everything needs to be open world. I didn't think MGS needed to go open world and I don't think SH needs to either. Some types of games benefit from a linear design, despite how some people have begun treating linearity as a negative. That being said...

Seems like Kojima really pours a great deal of effort into this (I was first a little worried since he also has MGS to 'deal' with) and it's nice to see that he also seriously thinks about various aspects that make a good horror game or what horror is in general. This makes me very optimistic. On a...

There was suspiciously an interview on 30th July on Konami UK's site One of the questions was 13) What are your upcoming projects? Maybe in the near future, I will bring you something new and exciting! https://uk.games.konami-europe.com/posts/Creating-Fear-Interview-with-Akira-Yamaoka Keep in mind t...

I did it without the headset, all I did was do the ten steps from the phone thing, stare at the location the ghost sounds were coming from (mirror, radio, phone) then I looked at the "Hell" writing in the hall, then the phone, then I got the second giggle, stayed still, and the phone rang ...

The lighting was amazing. I also liked how grounded it felt, with the past few SH games, it feels like they've been themeatic with how the world looks, rather than just creating a lifelike world.

I reckon the character/story in this demo will be referenced in the main game, probably in a similar way to Walter Sullivan.

I wonder what part of town this could be? I'd hazard a guess at Central Silent Hill.

On the flip side, it may be a hint toward the otherworldly Silent Hills

It's still for "P.T." at the moment, it's likely to change when they think enough people have completed it.

It's got some decent screenshots of the new Silent Hill street we saw in there.

I'm someone who doesn't really get creeped out by many horror games these days, Outlast made me jump, sure, but I never felt that scared to go into the next room. But P.T.? Jesus, I got chills, the feeling of dread you get from walking down the corridor nearing the corner. It's just, right.

The ghost thing in the demo was very remenicent of 1-4 Silent Hill, the way it was positioned, and how it looked. The demo really hit the right notes, in that it might have shown you the ghost standing at the end of the corridor, but it makes you scared about what happens next.

I think the biggest problem with the nurses is simply that we did this trick once already. Compare it to the original: WLb_M3G6Iv8 I dunno, it seems so much more tense to me than this new one. Rose threading her way through them is one of my favorite scenes. I have no idea what I'm not seeing in th...
