This installment of Silent Hill sees a new character, Alex Shepherd, returning home from military service to find his family in disarray. To save his brother, Josh, he must enter the macabre town of Silent Hill.
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.
"I'm thinking it needs more time in the pot! I reeeeally don't want a buggy zombie nurse!"
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!
You know, I've all but given up on the whole lets move the series forward thing of mine. I was playing 1 last night and I realized all I want is more Silent Hill. Bring it on.
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...
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.
