Silent Hill 8 Becomes Silent Hill: Downpour Silent Hill 8 becomes Silent Hill: Downpour KONAMI reveals first shots and art of new Silent Hill title, as Dexter composer scores latest return to the terrifying town… SYDNEY, 25 January, 2011: Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has released the first shots of the next iteration of its hugely popular horror series, Silent Hill: Downpour. The asset issue marks the first confirmation of the new game’s suffix, while KONAMI has also announced that acclaimed composer, Daniel Licht (Dexter), is producing the game’s eerie soundtrack Silent Hill: Downpour marks the series’ return to PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360, and brings a completely original storyline which follows Murphy Pendleton, a convict stranded in the foggy, malevolent world of Silent Hill. Pendleton begins the game lost and alone in the woods on the outskirts of the fabled town, when his prison transport bus crashes... What happens after this is up to the player, as Silent Hill: Downpour reveals a new, expansive environment that is similarly claustrophobic and where the player is never truly alone. The new assets demonstrate the highly detailed environments the game enjoys, a sneak preview of the town and two new areas: The Diner and The Devil’s Pit. In addition to the screens, KONAMI has also released a 90-second sample of the in-game music to whet the appetite. The music forms part of Daniel Licht’s chilling soundtrack, the composer better known for his work on Showtime’s acclaimed serial killer drama, Dexter. Silent Hill: Downpour will be released for PlayStation®3 and Xbox360 in Spring 2011.

    Cinque videogames da giocare ad Halloween E come tutti gli anni, ci ritroviamo sempre in quel periodo in cui l‘oscurità e il mistero domina le nostre serate, specialmente nella notte di Halloween, dove milioni di bambini e non si dilettano a vagare per la città travestiti da mostri, vampiri e qualsivoglia creatura terrificante. Tuttavia per chi non avesse programmi per il 31 ottobre, con questa interessante Top potrete trovare delle valide alternative per il vostro Halloween da paura. Nella nebbia di Silent Hill… E partiamo subito con il classico dei classici, giusto per mettervi ansia passeggiando tra la nebbia cittadina. Rilasciato nel 1999, il caro vecchio Silent Hill è praticamente perfetto per accompagnarvi durante la notte a suon di mostri piramidali e dalle stranezze più disparate. All’interno del gioco impersonerete Harry Mason alla ricerca della figlia adottiva di sette anni scomparsa nella nebbia della tranquilla cittadina di Silent Hill appunto. Il titolo offre ben cinque finali alternativi di cui uno visibile solo dopo aver completato il gioco come determinate condizioni. Quindi, se siete così messi male da adorare la nebbia — o abitate sopra l’Arno — , Silent Hill è il videogame che fa per voi. P.T. di papà Kojima Distribuito nel 2014, P.T. che sta per Playable Teaser, non è altro che un teaser interattivo in cui un protagonista sconosciuto si risveglia in un corridoio molteplici volte, come in un loop, ma con piccole inquietanti variazioni. Man mano la situazione acquisterà un senso ed essendo targato Kojima, la qualità di trama e scenario di certo non manca.

  • Silent Hill: Book of Memories Enters New Chapter on November 8 Th
    Silent Hill: Book of Memories enters new chapter on th November 8 Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced the Australian release date for Silent Hill: Book of Memories on PlayStation(R)Vita, as November 8th. Sydney, Australia, Oct 11 - Developed by WayForward, the new game marks the first appearance of the acclaimed horror series on PlayStation(R)Vita. The game also introduces multiplayer elements to the series for the first time, as players work together within the mist-shrouded areas of the titular town. Silent Hill: Book of Memories begins with the player selecting a customisable character. The player then receives a book which, it transpires, has the power to change the past. The action takes the form of a skewed top-down adventure with the emphasis on action and exploration. Players are thus challenged to solve a series of tests and puzzles which rewards them with puzzle pieces that are needed to access the next area. A wide range of Silent Hill elements and adversaries make a welcome return as the player finds out more about the book, and in multiplayer mode players work together in a quest to gather the puzzle pieces and conquer the huge boss creatures which punctuate the gameplay. Silent Hill: Book of Memories also allows users to share Items between characters, including items to restore lost health and to boost endurance. With a soundtrack by Dexter composer Daniel Licht, Silent Hill: Book of Memories opens a new chapter on terror, as players become embroiled in another terrifying visit to KONAMI’s horror series. The game will be available as both a physical product and to download via PlayStation(R)Network.

That feeling of unadulterated joy at getting a free T-shirt at an SUPB event may no longer be the best thing that happens in their year; indeed some of them might even start to decline invites to events with free food. As they prepare themselves for this new era, reflecting on who they’ve become and how things have changed, they will hopefully look back on their JCU experience fondly. As part of this, the graduating senior class plans to bestow a gift to John Carroll to commemorate their time at the University; previous years have donated water bottle fountains, trees and benches.

    The REAL Silent Hill Experience By Rosseter and Fungo © 2007-2010 by Twin-Perfect.com Some parts of this video may be considered violent or cruel. Viewer discretion is advised. SPOILER WARNING: This video contains spoilers for Silent Hill 1-4, Origins, Homecoming, Shattered Memories, Orphan (mobile), the Silent Hill movie and the following list of comic books: Among the Damned Dying Inside 1-5 Dead/Alive 1-5 Paint It Black The Grinning Man We strongly advise playing Silent Hill 1-4 to completion before continuing. 00: INTRODUCTION Rosseter and Fungo sit on a couch playing a video game. Rosseter uses a Nintendo Gamecube controller while Fungo uses a Sega Dreamcast controller. Their improvised conversation indicates that the game is multiplayer and competitive. It is soon revealed that they are playing Silent Hill for the Sony Playstation. Harry dies in the game as Fungo "defeats" Rosseter, and they exchange post-game banter. They set down their controllers. ROSSETER Hey there, guys! FUNGO Hi. I'm Fungo. ROSSETER And I'm Rosseter. FUNGO But you already know that! That was a given... ROSSETER We were just playing some Nintendo, but since you're here we should probably begin that which you have so fervently chosen to foment your intellectual percipience. FUNGO Touché. Silent Hill has become one of the best- known survival horror series in video games, and that is most likely due to its high level of detail, immersive atmosphere, and intricate storyline. ROSSETER But the intricacy of that storyline also makes it one of the most sadly misunderstood series in gaming history.
