New Silent Hill suddenly looks better

Konami has released a bunch of new Silent Hill: Homecoming screenshots which look noticeably better than what we've seen previously. The game doesn't look quite 'next-gen shiny' yet but it does like they've been giving it some polish.

Thank god..

The Collective still suck though.

I'm sure comments like that are really helpful to them. Give them a chance. If the end product sucks, then you can bash on them.

Lifendz5829d ago

so long as the sound effects get me to jump out of my seat (and I'm sure it will) and as long as the cutscences are as well done as before then I'm good. But this is Konami. I'm sure they'll get the visuals up there.

It still doesnt look as dark and scary as Siren..

meepmoopmeep5830d ago

yeah Siren is the best survivor horror i've seen so far. i hope the new team does a great job on SH5 though. This is their chance to prove themselves.

I don't like these kinds of games(Dark games that you use a flash light to path your way)

d3l33t5830d ago

Why are all the blacks so light? Is it that hard to achieve true (or near) black?!

DarkRayneRules5830d ago

Maybe it's to keep the whole foggy theme. Plus high contrast probably wouldn't suit a Silent Hill game. I can't wait for this, personally I like the Collective. Buffy and Indiana Jones on the old xbox were great. I'll be interested to see the new combat system in motion. And the nurses... they look way hot. You know I never realised those 'things' in Silent Hill 2 were nurses... I think the lead pipe put me off... since I thought they were walking sticks. lol. So I thought I was totally being attacked by old people. What, it could happen! :)

The normal mapping on the main guy's jacket and pants still looks like BLURRY garbage. Must be PS3 version.

etownone5830d ago

correct me if im wrong, but i thought there was no ps3 version, just 360 and ps2

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26195d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake194d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69194d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26193d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!

Pyramid Head is my #1 too, despite the fact you don't actually fight him much - and the few times you do are actually super easy. It's all in the presentation & close encounters.

Auron552d ago

Pyramid head? please.. whatever was in that silent hills trailer is #1

Gardenia552d ago

I never thought the monsters themselves were very scary. It was the tension and the unknown, the silent moments that got under your skin that were the most scary to me.
Silent Hill has always been about the psychological horror more than it's gore.

I had no idea Binary Domain was backwards compatible. I know what I'm downloading.

JayRyu671d ago

I would like El Shaddi, Afterburner Climax, and outrun 2 please. I am sure that there are other games as well but those came to mind for me right now.
