    I think with what I've seen so far with the camera being modernized and a better combat system(least it appeared so) it should turn out alright, just know its being done by different developers...it still looks like it stays true to Silent HIll from what I've seen, but that can be a turn off to a lot of people.

    Haha, I don't think it will be buggy. It's the first Silent Hill for the next gen systems and has been in development for a decent amount of time. I'm just really excited to see on how well the graphics help the atmosphere.

    It's been awhile since I've been really excited for a Silent Hill game.  Since SH3 anyway.  Origins just didn't look so great and SH4 was originally a Spin-off or something so I never ending up getting around to it.  But Homecoming looks crazy awesome!  The voice acting sounds pretty good too.  My only concern is that it's by a different developer.  But from the trailer shown so far, I'm willing to give 'em a chance!

    I love some Silent Hill, but being that October quite a few good games I'm going to be waiting for a bit before I pick it up.

    I have Siren for my survival horror fix right now, I'm going to wait a few days to pull the trigger on this one, and gauge the reaction to it.

    I need to get scared now and then to keep me on edge, so I could use some SH right about now.

    I'll probably rent it, with all of the other new games coming out.
    The only question I have is do I have to play the previous games to figure this one out, or no?

    I'm not really sure...but my experience with the series says no.  The only two I can recall being linked is #1 links to #3...but even that isn't REQUIRED....they explain it anyway.  I just hope it's awesome...new developer and all that...

    The brilliance of the SH games atmosphere is mainly due to two things. 1. Sound Design and 2. Dynamic Camera Angles.

    I really think it's odd that it's coming out Oct. 1st...I almost feel like it will get pushed back because there haven't really been many details about the game. I'd be willing to give it a shot, but it likely won't be anything special if it's coming out already.
