Silent Hill 8 is coming!




Silent Hill 8 (working title) is the eighth installment of the award-winning Silent Hill series developed by Vatra Games and published by Konami for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Silent Hill 8 is scheduled for release in 2011.

Shinji Hirano, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. is quoted saying: "In honoring the rich history and strong following of Silent Hill, we're working hard to build a next generation horror game that the fans truly deserve... This Silent Hill introduces an all-new storyline and unique evolutions in gameplay, building on innovations and successes from over a decade of true survival horror and terror.

Gameplay

According to Konami, the camera will remain primarily in third-person. Silent Hill 8 will continue to offer the "mind-bending" puzzles and "thought-provoking storyline" that launched the series into mainstream fame, and will provide a "deep psychological horror experience" with multiple side-quests depending on the player's decisions and behavior.

Plot

The main protagonist of Silent Hill 8 is Murphy Pendleton, an escaped prisoner. E3's teaser trailer indicates that a postal worker, a civilian, and a female police officer will be supporting characters.

The game begins after a prisoner-transport bus plunges into a large, otherworldly crack in the road just outside of Silent Hill. Pendleton escapes the wreckage and navigates his way through the forest and into the foggy town.

Development

Silent Hill 8 is under development by Czech developer Vatra Games and is in the early stages of post-production. It is published by Konami Digital Entertainment in Japan.

And now in Spanish :)

Silent Hill 8


Silent Hill 8 es la octava entrega de la saga Silent Hill. Actualmente el videojuego esta en post-produccion a cargo de la empresa Vatra Games , se comenta que solo saldran para PlayStation 3 y Xbox 360. Su fecha de lanzamiento data en 2011.

Konami aun no ha anunciado donde tomara lugar Silent Hill 8, pero tomando en cuenta el orden cronologico, tendria que seguir la historia de Silent Hill Homecoming en Shepard’s Glen, aun asi hay posibilidades que el lugar sea en el original pueblo de Silent Hill.

La historia comienza con un autobus de prisioneros. Asi es nuestro personaje principal en esta ocasion será un convicto fugitivo. Al estrellarse el autobus, Murphy Pendleton escapa al pueblo de Silent Hill.

De acuerdo con Konami la camara permanecera en Tercera Persona, e igual que los demás habrá múltiples búsquedas de objetos dependiendo de las decisiones que tome el jugador. Curiosamente al final del trailer del juego se muestra que esta siendo desarrollado por un Team Silence, lo cual ha confundido al público por la referencia al Team Silent.
