Silent Hill - Homecoming: 11 haunting new screens

Boooooooooooo

Hahaha, cute!....


Kudos for X3F to continually follow the Survival Horror genre, by the way.

Well...you know..as much as I love the genre, these 11 new shots don't show me much to really get all THAT excited about. I know the 'Darkness shift' happens in real time now, which sounds incredible (and much expected after seeing the film in theaters), but as for gameplay, I'm carefully watching and waiting to be wowed. The Collective has plenty of time to add SH:H's own flavor, which I feel at this point it is still lacking.

Alone In The Dark is looking better and better however; a new tech demo featuring the physics of fire is now online. Can't wait to be in Central Park!

Ba dum dum! haha! nice. :)

Richard,

From an inside source I am told these shots were taken from a build the devs use to test the game with faster framerate. If you look there aren't any normal maps on Shepard's coat. The actual textures including the water are much much nicer looking.

Spread the word, please.

I hope you're right, Ryan -- 'cause I'm totally with Ricard on this; these screens look like they're from an original Xbox game. :/

That's the first thing I noticed as well... why would they release screens at that low of quality? But what Ryan says makes sense... I can't picture them releasing a "next gen" game like that.

Anyone know much about the combat?
