Double Helix are giving us the chance to interview Lead Designer, Jason Allen, and we will be receiving two brand new exclusive screenshots of Silent Hill: Homecoming.
The latest issue of German magazine Man!ac also has an Silent Hill: Homecoming exclusive. They have new, exclusive screenshots which we have already reported, and a 9 minute long video presentation on the history of the Silent Hill franchise and brand new gameplay of Silent Hill: Homecoming.
German Magazine Man!ac have a new preview of Silent Hill: Homecoming. Strangely, they mix up the new and old look of Alex in their article...
The preview covers the battle system, the basic storyline outline of what we already know, and the a detailed description of the start of the game. No translations are available just yet, but we'll update when they are.
As you may have realised in the latest screenshots from GamesRadar, Alex has undergone a rather large change in appearance, notably his hair. He looks much older and his hair (and him in general) appears to be far lower quality graphics than previously shown.
We have started a petition to get Double Helix Games to change the new Alex design back to the old one.
Today, Konami have officially announced that Silent Hill V has been renamed to Silent Hill: Home coming in a published press release on their official Konami Europe site.
The Homecoming of Silent Hill
Konami’s first Silent Hill® title for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION®3 gets a new name…
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced the official title of its first Silent Hill game for PLAYSTATION®3 and Xbox 360. Entitled Silent Hill: Homecoming, the game will be released end of September this year across Europe.
The sixth installment in the classic video games series, Silent Hill: Homecoming introduces another protagonist to the mythos. The story follows Alex Shepherd, returning to his hometown of Shepherd’s Glen to investigate the sudden disappearance of his brother. From Shepherd’s Glen to Silent Hill, Alex must face the darkest of horrors in order to find his brother. Struggling with his own grip on reality, Alex must unravel the mystery behind his nightmares, discover the truth behind his brother’s disappearance, and confront the evil lurks in the seemingly empty streets of Silent Hill.
Homecoming is the first Silent Hill title for the new wave of ‘next generation’ consoles, featuring all-new graphics that bring the fear and terror of Silent Hill alive like never before. Alex must survive attacks from the misshapen denizens of the town using an all-new enhanced combat system that provides a wide array of attacks and counters. Along the way, Alex will encounter a variety of weapons to battle these horrific monsters and must also solve deadly puzzles as he uncovers the darkest secrets of Silent Hill.
Silent Hill: Homecoming also features an all-new soundtrack by acclaimed series composer Akira Yamaoka.
X360UK have had the chance to play a 60% complete build of Silent Hill V. X360 seem to love what they have seen of Silent Hill V so far, and explain a little bit about the combat system. Apparently the right choice of the right move at the right time and decide between sucess or having your throat torn out. Sounds great!
