1. Silent Hill 8 officially named, detailed
2. Gameplay details

The eighth installment in the Silent Hill series finally has an official title -- and its the exact same one rumored only recently. Game Informer got the scoop on Silent Hill: Downpour, and thanks to the intrepid members of NeoGAF we've learned of a few details regarding the game.

 

silent-hill

 

Downpour is the name of an area in the southeastern part of Silent Hill and as the name suggests, water will reportedly be a major factor. It's not just regular water but the creepy Silent Hill kind, meaning you'll find stuff like "bizarre water effects [that] look like an upside down river flowing across a ceiling".

 

Although well-known Silent Hill landmarks such as Alchemilla Hospital won't be appearing, fans of the series will probably still be a bit familiar with Downpour as apparently it can be seen on maps in previous Silent Hill games. The area is pretty big and has a subway system that players can ride.

I HATE that QJ is splitting stories that aren't even that large into two or more pages. STOP IT!

Silent Hill gets worse and worse. Well, Homecoming was really good to be honest but that was base on Silent Hill 1.

I find the game to be quite stupid now. I would've thought that each ending to the games would've at least solved the big problem. But it seems that when a new person goes there a new problem is occuring.

How about a 4 player co-op game with some of the protagonists from previous games playing their stories at once? Y'know as to say it's all happening at that moment lol :P

The series was ruined after The Room (my personal favorite, though technically not a Silent Hill game...I know, shut your face). When they released Homecoming I had my hopes up for a really nice installment. Sadly they had to go and fuck it up with 1 mistake (in my own personal opinion...again, shut it). They brought back Pyramid Head.
Let me clue you in. As I understand it, in Silent Hill 2 James "created" Pyramid Head in his own head to punish him for killing his wife. In the end, James confronts Pyramid Head and kills him off. End of Pyramid Head.
So how the fuck do they come off bringing Pyramid Head BACK into the series for another character to fear? And as the Boogeyman no less! Pyramid Head was, is and forever will be the villain of Silent Hill 2. (Or James, whichever way you look at it)("But James IS Pyramid Head..." DON'T EVEN!)
I hereby stand firmly at the fact that after Silent Hill 4: The Room the series is dead.
There just better not be another fucking incarnation of said wheelbarrow wearing menace or I'll have to shoot a puppy.
