Developer Double Helix believes Silent Hill: Homecoming will be "at least as compelling as some of the previous games" in the spooky series.

That bring people that'll think it'll be any good to 1.

Well, if he's right then at least we get to see Yahtzee remove three of his own vertebrae, curl his spine back and eat his own ass

Didn't Yahtzee already review it, stating his spine was safe?

This game has been getting some lukewarm reviews Stateside which suggest it is acceptably good rather than outstanding. That said, I'm still really looking forward to playing it... Silent Hill 2 on the PS2 was really, really good so I'm hoping for a similar experience with this new game. And, thank goodness, it has been put back to February 2009... there's already far too many good games out now and imminent so it might get more attention during the quiet post-Christmas spell.

wait, were they talking about 5 or 6?

How can they say it'll be (future tense) at least as compelling if it's already out?

Anyone thats imported the game already knows that its not. In fact its actually somewhat amusing to laugh at all the try hard moments through out the game.

Its not very good. Im sure a Silent hill game can actually be made anymore after how well Siren made the transition to this Gen. Homecoming is archaic and a chore to play. It controls like ass, even though its not meant to.

Wait, so he's speaking in the future tense about a game that's already available? Is he trying to act like import gaming doesn't exist?

It is quite good actually, well, I'm enjoying it! :)

Sure it's same old same old with a new overly simple combat system but it oozing with that SH atmosphere so it's a win with me.

(although next time they should let you move around in FP view like Siren)

I think it's really good. Definitely better the UK developed 0rigins.

What a depressing thought, they're clearly angling to take another shot at making a Silent Hill game. No more. Please.

If they want something to do to keep themselves busy, how about fixing the myriad bugs that the NTSC versions suffered from.

I got the US import on PS3 a couple of days after it came out, it's shit. Took it back to where I got it and bought Resistance2 instead!

I say give Climax UK another go at it. I found Origins to be splendid and much like the PS2 Silent Hill games.

it sounds like Konami all over - let a western team onto a classic franchise, strictly limit their ideas, imagination and innovation (if they happen to have some), hassle them like fuck until they polish what bare bones are there....
mediocre product pops out the other end.
its a fairly successful formula but hardly makes for fresh ideas.

All I want to know is whether I'll get to explore towns again like in SH 1 and 2, or whether it's gonna be another mindnumbing linear trek, like every other game out there. If it's the latter, I'm gonna pass.

Seriously, what's with these press releases disguised as news items? STOP PRESS: Developer believes own game is good!

First Far Cry.. then we get:

The survival-horror game has already launched in the US to solid critical applause.

How ironic that when I clicked on "solid" link, it took me to Metacritic which gave the game 73.

EDIT: In future, don't bother until you have: "Developer admits new game is shit prior to launch". Now that would be news.
