Silent Hill: Homecoming creeps out of hiding

Wait ... where are the floats, the cheerleaders, the awkward slow-dancing? Oh, its not that kind of homecoming. No, it's a Silent Hill homecoming, which means it's really foggy, those "cheerleaders" are grotesque creatures, and the dance move of choice is called "running for your life."

Konami finally rolled out a playable build of the series' fifth installment at its press event last night, and we were on hand to, well ... get our hands on it. We're writing up our impressions, along with Double Helix design lead Jason Allen's musings on bringing the series to a new generation. For now, get tickled by the first screens (on your console of choice) -- and several new videos embedded after the break!

What is that thing a vagina with teeth?!?

Fuck its a Gelgameck

NIGHTMARES!

Kill it with fire.

Hit it in the clitorus for MASSIVE DAMAGE.

Watch the movie Teeth for that.

It's called "Vagina Dentata"... a ancient, cross-cultural myth... or is it?

Engadget, did you accidentally on-purpose switch the Silent Hill video for footage form the movie "Teeth"?

:D

Forget about the Gelgamecks? rabble rabble rabble!

There's actually an invention to prevent rape called the RapeX. It's a contraceptive with teeth, and it latches onto the attacker's penis which can only be removed surgically :D

It wouldn't be a silent hill game without some sort of creature with some sort of vagina on it.

I CANNOT wait for this game!!

I am more looking forward to Siren than Silent Hill.

SH games are always 2 hours of content that the developers stretch into 8 hours of gameplay

Especially 'The Room'

Felt like most of that game was just retread. First time in the series where kept a guide at my side just so I could finish the stupid thing.

Definitely a lot of elements I thought were super awesome and spooky, but in the end, meh.

The PSP game might be the worst offender. but SH Origins was a portable so I will give it a little slack

what...i completely disagree..well the room sucked ass but silent hill 1,2,and 3 IMO were not 2 hours of gameplay stretched to 8

I didnt play three and didnt finish 4, but IIRC SH2 didnt take me long at all to finish. I wanna say like 6 hours.

I find your opinion misinformed and harsh. Maybe the puzzles were just too hard for you and there weren't enough guns... or perhaps you didn't get into the story. Might I suggest Resident Evil 4 for brainless, pseudo-horror fun?

Everyone is so hard on the room, but that's probably my favorite horror game ever. The way they manage the tension of the game by giving you your safe zone, then taking away that safe zone. Sure the controls were convoluted, but all silent hill games are.

Though the series has been hit and miss, I am looking forward to this new one a lot.

This game has so many cool elements to it but some of the technical slips and laughable voice work pulls me right out of it.

I feel they kill silent hill with the convoluted "I am your mother!" stories.

Keep it simple.. you're in a small foggy town with weird shit.. it doesn't need to be more complicated than that.

Yeah, wierd shit like that dude who guzzled the chocolate milk.

Alright, so... What I can see so far is Silent Hill 4 + Resident Evil 4 * GRAPHIX! / story - interesting characters.

OMG VAGINA HUNTERS CONFIRMED!!

I enjoyed silent hill 1 through 3. Silent hill 4 however, not so much. Hopefully 5 will be much better.

See that Vajayjay with teeth?

Practice safe sex.

Facegina dentata! ACK!

So, what's with the dog chewing on the guy's throat, and massive amounts of blood spurting out, and the guy just loosing a tiny bit of health, gets up, and proceeding to go Gordan Freeman on him?

For any fans of Alan Partridge - Try reading the first paragraph of this post with his voice in you head. It totally fits.
