Silent Hill: Homecoming leaked?

As with Silent Hill: Origins, it appears there's a rumour that Silent Hill: Homecoming has been leaked already and is available for download illegally, presumably for PC or Xbox 360. The file is supposedly on a private tracker at BitSoup.

I dont think it would be good to show this off. If Homecoming doesn't sell well Konami is ending the series.

Bombibomb5740d ago

I find it very difficult for me to get excited about Silent Hill: Homecoming. 'The Collective' have never even made a decent video game. I don't what the hell Konami was thinking.

JsonHenry5740d ago

I really hope this game is good. I have been a fan of the series since the first one on the original PSone.

M337ING5740d ago

If this is true, you know you just contributed to its piracy?

jcfilth5740d ago

Wonder why it's never the PS3 version of a game the one in that position. Same thing happened with GTAIV.

Fishy Fingers5740d ago (Edited 5740d ago )

Thats because currently there is no way to play a copied game on the PS3.

Even the 360 still requires you to physically "chip" your console.

@the disagrees, please reply, I look forward to seeing how you disagree with fact.

ds62205740d ago

People are disagreeing with this statement simply because it is untrue and not a fact. It would be true to say that there is a particular drive in most of the newer 360s that have yet to be exploited, but most of the machines out there today can be modified without physically "chipping" it. there is also quite a scene for the PS3 releases as well, however I can not confirm if any of the images can actually be played off a burned blu-ray. the scene may simply be place holders until there is a real solution. I certainly hope that there is more protection on the PS3 other than just "Blu-ray media is expensive to buy".

Qdog5740d ago

I would wager, or even be so bold as to say that Sony has made it extremely tough,(nigh impossible), for console hackers and pirates to succeed on the PS3 platform, because unlike the PSP, Sony attacked the possibility of piracy on all fronts within the console...from the DRM on the Blu-ray discs, to the hardware, and software(Hypervisor, that sends random usage info) anti-piracy implementations, they even threw in firmware updates for overkill(to fill in future holes, that devs may leave), they seem to also have used a larger less viable(for piracy, due to size) format with blu-ray...all while actually using an on-die method(a core within the processor itself, which rules out using a modchip to circumvent security measures, without disabling the processor itself) to deter piracy, and hacking... So this makes the PS3 a very viable solution to console piracy, and possibly one that other console manufacturers will likely implement in future iterations(generations) in their own way.

aggh im on fire5740d ago

Im really hoping its going to be good as i love the silent hill games but i have the same felling that its going to be awful.. Konami why?

Fishy Fingers5740d ago

hmmm.... well this isn't the best news for the developers, still I'm not sure this is the sort of thing that should grace N4G as we're doing nothing but promoting the torrent.

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.

bfrye26201d 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_drake201d 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.

CrimsonWing69200d ago

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

bfrye26200d 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.

Auron558d ago

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

Gardenia558d 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.

JayRyu677d 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.
