Silent Hill 5 baby

[GmanJoe]

This is what you call "Butter Face".

Great body...but her face? Not so much.

Thank goodness for paper bags and rope.

Anyway... I love this SH5 screenshot

I just hope this series,..doesn\'t end up being the "devil may cry 2" of the series...i just started playin\' silent hill 4 again and while the combat is kinda clunky,...i know the one thing that i can always count on from team silent,..and that is  atmosphere....that feeling of being locked up in your apt is just on some \'ol "wtf" type s**t, and that\'s a good thing....as i stated earlier the one thing i don\'t like is how they are gettin\' their inspiration from the movie...as far as  the transformations goes,...it was ok for the movie, but for the game itself, it just seems outta place and too commercial,...but who knows... hopefully this game will turn out ok.

Yeah I loved the "room" idea too. It was a fresh introduction. What I disliked though about it was that you were sometimes forced to enter and exit many times the hole in each environment and that started to take away from the otherwise superb immersion from the fact that the only place you could go was either your room or that hole ejecting you into a horrendous world.

Yeah...that\'s true...i\'ve already had to travel back to my apt to restore my health a few times when i really wasn\'t ready to leave the level yet....anyway here\'s a few more new screens...

I still on the fence with this one...the screens look kinda clean, but i guess when they place that filter over it, it\'ll look more like traditional silent hill....

This isn\'t silent hill 5,..but i guess this is what you would call a homemade movie trailer?...anyway whoever made this trailer,..it\'s pretty impressive...the models aren\'t that great,...but the atmosphere is decent...

Some new video\'s...hmmmm...i don\'t like the fact that this crew has made nurses react like the one\'s seen in the movie....i wanna give this game a chance, but it looks like it\'s not going to be anywhere near silent hill 1-4 in terms of creepiness or freight factor....i\'m hoping it\'ll turn out ok,..but i had a bad feeling when they handed this series over to an american firm.....they just should\'ve let the crew in japan handle this one....

^^^ the videos aren\'t that great, but you can still get a feel of how the game plays

WTF did they do to his face !? They changed it and it looks alot worse.

Where\'s my SH grain filter and why\'s the combat still looking clunky ?

So this game has a title.... Silent Hill: Homecoming
(Konami distancing themselves?)

Somebody made a comparison between the old and new player model...(this new version looks like an older guy)..and i gotta admit i like the old version better,....and i agree with knotter,..where\'s the grain filter?....hopefully they\'ll add it, but you would think that it would\'ve been in place by now....this american firm stated that they were a fan of the series...it looks like that were more of a fan of the movie........not only do the nurses look like the movie, they also move like\'em...how about some originality?

More updated screenshots....strange tho,...in these screenshots the main character has brown hair, whereas in the video he has greyish type hair..especially the scene where he is walking down into the water of the basement...

the new model = epic fail

Is that Ted Danson?

I like the new old looking model as well. Seems to fit better the world of Silent Hill. Characters are supposed to look troublesome and weak. The older younger looking model looks like an action figure. A guy that is not afraid of anything ready to kick some ass.

I dont like much how this game is turning out either though. It doesnt feel as silent hill as the other games (Excluding probably 4). It lacks something. I am not sure. The other ones had something I can only describe as "emotion". The movie failed to grasp this feel and this one seems to fail in that department too.

But I hope I am wrong

I like the new old looking model as well.

Ugh. He\'s NOT saying that. Just like many, myself as SH2 fan included, prefer the 1st version of Alex ; the younger looking version.

He\'s supposed to be 22, not 42.

Besides, it looks like the model took a serious polygoncount cutdown.
Devs never admit it ; but often such changes are done because they\'re forced to lower polycounts in their shitty engines. I guess young Alex\'s hair cost too many polys. Besides, the older looking one it\'s head, looks blocky as hell.

And yes, it\'s refreshing to see a younger Alex because that gives the player the sense of being vulnerable in SH land, even as being a battle hardened young soldier.

Oh he meant the previous model. I see. Personally I prefer the newer. I would like to see an old character for once. We got younger aged models already. It\'s time for some change.

What I liked in Silent Hill compared to Resident Evil is that each character was a different occasion with each installment.

Silent Hill 1 was a father figure.

Silent Hill 2 was a male tragic figure

Silent Hill 3 was a female bystander figure

Silent Hill 4 was an isolated no-one figure

In Silent Hill 5 I d love to see an old war veteran. The previous model looks just as young as the models in 1 and 2, and much more capable too. I dont want to see a character that feels strong in the Silent Hill world. In none of the Silent Hill games was the character transmitting the message of strength. And these developers said that they want to make the game more action like with a character that has more attacking capabilities. For that reason they chose someone who was in the US army. I d be pissed if they ended it up like Resident Evil 4\'s Leon Kennedy. This is my view in terms of art direction.

In terms of detail though, yeah I d prefer a more detail version.

The picture Clips posted though is misleading because one is an offline render and the other is in game.

Good analysis there.......but yea i still like the younger version better,..i still think that they could have a younger main character, but still have him just as helpless as the other characters in previous games,..he may be a bit more capable because he\'s a soldier, but all of his training still can\'t prepare him for what he will see when confronting the madness that is silent hill,...but that part depends on how good the developers actually bring this game to life....i have some big doubts about this game,...it\'s set to drop in september and there isn\'t a decent trailer out yet.

As far as for having the older character? isn\'t this guy supposed to be looking for his younger brother that went missing when he came back from serving his tour overseas?....his younger character made more sense because his younger brother looks to be like either 8 or 10 yrs old. Now with the older character, this guy looks to be his uncle or something,....maybe they\'re going to change the theme of this guy looking for his younger brother, to looking for his son, since he looks so much older now.

But i don\'t think that they could change the story in time to do that since the game is set to drop in sept.....and that\'s the thing, for a game that probably should have most of it\'s elements in place, it\'s not looking as strong as i would have expected it to be...
