E3 2008: Silent Hill: Homecoming PC version confirmed, plus an old fiend returns

Posted Jul 18, 2008 at 6:09PM by QJ Staff Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: Konami

Two very important things have been confirmed for Konami's Silent Hill: Homecoming (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) this E3. The first is that a PC version will indeed be released, and second is that an old fiend is coming back for a visit.

It is no other Pyramid Head, the iconic monster that gave players the chills back in Silent Hill 2. If the name doesn't ring a bell, we'll give you a bit of a refresher.

Pyramid Head is actually a nameless, non-speaking monster who wears an off-white, bloodstained robe and a triangular helmet which looks like it's there to torment the wearer. Pyramid Head is one of the few masculine creepies in the game, and he groans and moans while chasing you around.

Pyramid Head often carries around an big knife or a spear to butcher players with, and he can deliver a headbutt that can take you out instantly. Worst of all, he has this strangle attack where he sticks out a tongue-like thing that stabs you. How's that for creepiness and brutality?

Very little else is known about his origin and history or why he does what he does. If you ask me, that triangular helmet he wears explains why he's in a bad mood all the time.

# dunno but.. — Darthsappy23 2008-07-18 14:09

im pretty sure it isnt a mistake, if the "Pyramid Head" is a monster than FIEND is the right term, fiends are monsters tho friend sounds like it would work, fiends are monsters.

# agreed — GW2 2008-07-18 14:37

point out an error humbly, but read the article first to make sure it isnt a play on words.

# Well, take that anti-PH guys. — NarooN 2008-07-18 18:03

This should pretty kill off the old "fact" that PH was a "Jame-exclusive" creature. He appeared in the movie, and now he's here. It was implied he was in Jame's mind, but never stated as fact. Just some old fan-translations from the old JPN Book of Silent Hill or w/e it's called.
