You might be right.


Could this explain about this boy in Silent Hill 4?

^^impossible. maria died at the end unles you\'re talking about ....SPOILERS! ...the ending where they leave together...end spoiler..which i don\'t think is the correct ending..the correct one which is the one the writers will probably go with is the one with SPOILERS..the little girl..end spoiler.

On another note and little off topic i look at silent hill 3 & 4. And when the res. evil remake came out i thought noway ps2 can handle that..but now i think the ps2 could handle it..if done it might not look exactly like the remake but i don\'t think there would be much difference..same with res evil 4.

i still feel the silent hill series is better than res evil..i hope they never go the route of having rocket launchers & missles,. keep the gameplay mentally horrifying..with only a few weapons ..plank, handgun & shotgun..period.

SILENT HILL 4 including a soundtrack disc?  Cool!

Akira Yamaoka

In charge of the Silent Hill project is the multitalented Akira Yamaoka. He\'s the producer of the games, but that\'s not all -- he\'s also the musician behind their extremely memorable soundtracks. Silent Hill 3 included a soundtrack disc, and recently asked if The Room would, he commented, "Even if Konami doesn\'t want to, I\'ll do it."

I wonder how their technical approach with SH4 is. Are they, as with SH2, coding for PS2 and then making the Xbox version or the other way around ?

Actually, I was really surprised Konami is bringing SH4 to the Xbox. At the IGN Metal Gear board they\'re bashing the box like mad (becuz of the bad Xbox Substance sales and the sloppy porting), yet they keep nagging on how the PS2 is keeping MGS3 from looking res textured......:o
Anyway, I\'m not really biased .... I got a PS2, Xbox and a 3,2 ghz PC.... but despite all that, the "what-if-MGS3-were-Xbox coded- from scratch.." question remains in the back of my mind....

Some new info about the eye-bandaged girl!

Found this on a Silent Hill board.  

Hey, I\'ve got the new information from a Japanese magazine.  

Spoiler:
Her name is "Irene Gulvin".
She lives next door to Henry.
She peeps into Henry\'s room through the window, and also, Henry can peep into her room through the window. (I don\'t know what this means though)

Henry can take her with him when exploring.
It is not sure whether we can make that decision or not...maybe she comes with him as Maria does. But, it says she can help fighting with Henry

Her appartment is probably cursed as well

Yes!



Update!

Another post he made.  :eek:

I forgot to mention one more info from the Japanese magazine.  
Konami says that one of the new action concepts in SH4 is "Chasing".
A creature, a spirit, or someone will chase after Henry?
I guess the one that chases Henry will be that long black-haired woman.
What is your guess?

Oh man!!That would create lots of suspense and stress in the game.COOL!

New release date for Japan!    It\'s almost done!   :eek:  

Irene Galvin is real!

Silent Hill 4: The Room will see release in Japan for PS2 and Xbox on June 17, Famitsu Weekly reports this week. The announcement of a Japanese date suggests a more traditional worldwide release schedule for the latest game in Konami\'s horror adventure series, since the game\'s North American release is planned for this fall. Silent Hill 3 for reasons still not fully understood, showed up in Europe some months before near-simultaneous Japanese and North American releases.
Along with the release date, Konami revealed a few more details about one of the supporting characters in the game. Irene Galvin (a tentative transliteration) is the next-door neighbor of the main character, Henry Townsend, who finds himself trapped in his haunted apartment.
 
As it turns out, barring the doors doesn\'t completely cut him off from human contact -- he can communicate with Irene through a cracked window, and she\'ll eventually travel with him into some of the game\'s strange extradimensional spaces. The player can\'t control her directly, but she\'ll tag along and assist Henry in certain areas.

We\'ll have more news of Silent Hill 4 very soon, since Famitsu confirms that the game is near completion. Look forward to it.

New creature screen!

SH4 will have a Hospital level and she looks like a nurse.

it wouldn\'t be silent hill without the dreaded hospital level! very nice..keep the news comin\' pstwo.

keep the news comin\' pstwo

I sure will!  

Here\'s a screen of the Hospital in SH4.

Still....the SH series lacks one thing....

Truly blood and gore ; you know,  dripping innards and guts
in substantial amounts of puddles blood. I know alot of blood
TRACES have been depicted visually in SH3 but.... it all remained
kind of \'flat\' and the pieces of corpses more or less dried up
and abstract. Like that RE4 render where this guy digs his chainsaw into Leon ; you can see actual masses of bloody flesh
flying around....in SH it\'s remained a bit abstract until now....
