In Silent Hill the town that means you're tormented by monsters based on your worst fears; in <em>Book of Memories</em> it means that your expectations can color the experience.<br /><br />Basically, if you go in knowing it's a dungeon crawler with Silent Hill visuals, you'll be much happier than if you go in expecting a Silent Hill game. In either case, you'll get killed by a two-headed dog monster at some point.<div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/silent-hill-book-of-memories-9-27-2012/">Silent Hill: Book of Memories (9/27/2012)</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/silent-hill-book-of-memories-9-27-2012/#5322044"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/09/silenthillbom001_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/silent-hill-book-of-memories-9-27-2012/#5322045"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/09/silenthillbom002_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/silent-hill-book-of-memories-9-27-2012/#5322046"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/09/silenthillbom003_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/silent-hill-book-of-memories-9-27-2012/#5322047"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/09/silenthillbom004_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/photos/silent-hill-book-of-memories-9-27-2012/#5322048"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/09/silenthillbom005_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/24/silent-hill-book-of-memories-review/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Silent Hill Book of Memories review: A dramatic rewrite</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/24/silent-hill-book-of-memories-review/">Silent Hill Book of Memories review: A dramatic rewrite</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 24 Oct 2012 11:00:00 EST.

While <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-book-of-memories"><em>Silent Hill: Book of Memories</em></a> will be out in North America on the seasonally appropriate date of October 16, the Vita action game will be released in Europe on November 2, just in time for ... the rest of November.<br /><br />Strangely, the demo arrived in Europe before it does in North America this week, even though the actual game arrives later.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/01/silent-hill-book-of-memories-hits-european-shelves-in-november/">Silent Hill: Book of Memories hits European shelves in November</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 01 Oct 2012 16:00:00 EST.

There's no sign of newcomer <em>Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes</em> at the moment.<br /><br />The Tokyo Game Show starts next week, running through September 20-23.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/12/konami-reveals-tokyo-game-show-line-up-no-ground-zeroes-yet/">Konami reveals Tokyo Game Show lineup, no Ground Zeroes yet</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 12 Sep 2012 10:45:00 EST.

As a top-down, multiplayer Silent Hill, it's an oddity among horror games and among <em>Silent Hills</em>.<br /><br />We wanted to know more about how this unusual game came to be, so we went to publisher Konami and developer WayForward to get some insight on the development process behind <em>Book of Memories</em>.<br /><div> <br /> The two companies responded with a surprisingly detailed development timeline for <em>Silent Hill: Book of Memories</em>, and a wealth of never-before-seen images from throughout the process, including screenshots of a PC demo WayForward put together to convince Konami they were the right team for the job. We've also spoken at length to Konami producer Tomm Hulett and WayForward Director Adam Tierney about the motivations behind the game's design.</div><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/31/development-timeline-silent-hill-book-of-memories/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Development timeline: Silent Hill Book of Memories</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/31/development-timeline-silent-hill-book-of-memories/">Development timeline: Silent Hill Book of Memories</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 31 Jul 2012 15:00:00 EST.

Other retailers don't yet agree: <a href="http://www.gamestop.com/ps-vita/games/silent-hill-book-of-memories/99306">GameStop</a> says May 22, and <a href="http://www.gamefly.com/Rent-Silent-Hill-Book-of-Memories/5001620/#.T7EzU59YvMA">GameFly</a> has a terrifying "TBD" date.<br /><br />At least Amazon's $5 credit offer is active, if you pre-order the game in advance of its eventual release.

It's fitting that he should be tapped for the soundtrack to Konami's next horror-themed game, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-book-of-memories"><em>Silent Hill: Book of Memories</em></a>.<br /><br />Licht is doing a live show in LA this June, where he'll belt out a few samples from the <em>Book of Memories</em> soundtrack. He'll be joined by vocalist Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who also is featured on the <em>Silent Hill: Book of Memories</em> soundtrack. Tickets are on sale now for the June 10 show, which takes place at the Largo at the Coronot Theatre.<br /><br />[Thanks, XLM.

You know what they say about March: In like a lion, out like a twitchy, messed up sex monster. That is to say that Konami has revealed that <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-hd-collection"><em>Silent Hill HD Collection</em></a>, <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-downpour"><em>Silent Hill: Downpour</em></a> and <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-book-of-memories"><em>Silent Hill: Book of Memories</em></a> will <em>all</em> be released this March. Breaking it all down, <em>HD Collection</em> will be released on March 6, <em>Downpour</em> on March 13 and the Vita exclusive <em>Book of Memories</em> on March 27.<br />
<br />
Then again, maybe a March release makes sense, what with the madness and all.

Originally slated for Fall 2011, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-hd-collection"><em>Silent Hill HD Collection</em></a> is now heading to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on January 24, 2012. Konami is also putting Silent Hill's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-book-of-memories">first PlayStation Vita outing</a>, <em>Book of Memories</em>, in the handheld's launch window of February 2012 (Vita itself hits retailers <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/18/playstation-vita-to-launch-in-north-america-on-february-22/">on February 22</a>).<br />
<br />
Rounding out the survival-horror trio of launches, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-downpour"><em>Silent Hill Downpour</em></a> falls to retail sometime in March.

In this video, Konami producer Tomm Hulett explains the premise of the PlayStation Vita's weird spin-off game, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-book-of-memories"><em>Silent Hill: Book of Memories</em></a>. "You receive a strange book. When you open it, you see your entire life story written on those pages," he said. "All your memories." You can then rewrite your memories and alter reality.<br />
<br />
Apparently, judging by the gameplay, all the player-created characters then rewrite their lives as monster-filled nightmares -- with Hulett suggesting that even Pyramid Head shows up. In any other game, that would be weird, but it wouldn't be <em>Silent Hill</em> if the protagonist wasn't totally bonkers.<br />
<br />
Speaking of gameplay, the above video features the first (early) direct-feed gameplay footage.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/19/silent-hill-book-of-memories-is-really-about-a-book-of-memories/">Silent Hill: Book of Memories is really about a book of memories</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 19 Aug 2011 10:30:00 EST.

The WayForward-developed <em>Silent Hill</em> game for PlayStation Vita is weirder than you think. Konami showed off <em>Silent Hill: Book of Memories</em> during its Gamescom press conference this morning, revealing it to be a multiplayer action game (we <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/09/silent-hill-book-of-memories-is-multiplayer-not-made-by-vatra/">expected</a> that part) with a top-down or isometric perspective.<br />
<br />
If you look closely, you'll notice that series stars Harry, Maria and James now exist in the same game! Of course, Konami is wisely opting to spin <em>Book of Memories</em> off into its own, completely unrelated story. You'll also be able to create your own protagonist, further distancing yourself from the sanctity of <em>Silent Hill</em> canon. <strong>Update:</strong> The Harry, Maria and James in the image above are just custom characters with cheeky names, Konami tells us.<br />
<br />
<em>Book of Memories</em> features melee combat, guns and what appears to be a smattering of RPG elements. We'll try to get you more specific information as Gamescom continues.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/17/silent-hill-book-of-memories-revealed-as-top-down-multiplayer-g/">Silent Hill: Book of Memories revealed as top-down multiplayer game</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 17 Aug 2011 06:16:00 EST.

I managed to snatch a few minutes with <em>Silent Hill</em> series producer Tomm Hulett at E3 this year. The convention played host to an uncharacteristically large amount of Silent Hill news. Between <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-downpour"><em>Silent Hill: Downpour</em></a>, <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-hd-collection"><em>Silent Hill Collection</em></a> and <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-book-of-memories"><em>Silent Hill: Book of Memories</em></a>, series fans are in for an embarrassment of riches. As a responsible journalist however, there was only one choice for my first question: Why <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/09/silent-hill-downpour-now-with-three-dimensions-and-one-korn-son/">Korn</a>?<br />

We've got another marginal detail about <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-book-of-memories">Silent Hill: Book of Memories</a></em> for you. During an E3 showing of downloadable splatterfest <em>Bloodrayne: Betrayal</em>, WayForward designer and director Sean Velasco briefly discussed the company's expanding slate of games -- which now includes a new <em>Silent Hill</em> game for PlayStation Vita.<br />
<br />
Velasco didn't divulge much, only describing <em>Book of Memories</em> as a "left-field" part of the prolific developer's upcoming lineup.

Remember the abandoned multiplayer mode Konami was <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/20/konami-investigating-silent-hill-multiplayer-xbla-title-says/">investigating</a> for <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-downpour"><em>Silent Hill: Downpour</em></a>? It looks like that investigation resulted in the creation of <em><a href="http://joystiq.com/game/silent-hill-book-of-memories">Silent Hill: Book of Memories</a></em>, which was recently announced for Sony's upcoming PS Vita handheld. Konami announced today that the title would focus on multiplayer, and we decided to ask series producer Tom Hulett how it came about.<br />
<br />
Hulett reiterated that developer Vatra Games had looked into a multiplayer mode for <em>Downpour</em> , but was wary of adding it simply for the sake of having it. "We decided if we don't have something that is uniquely <em>Silent Hill</em> and feels good in multiplayer, we don't want to just tack it on," said Hulett, adding, "We don't just want to throw something in to say, 'hey, there's a bullet point.'" Multiplayer was scrapped for <em>Downpour</em>, but Konami "kept exploring" the idea and eventually came up with <em>Book of Memories</em>.<br />
<br />
Hulett didn't offer many details -- like how exactly Silent Hill multiplayer is supposed to work -- though he did confirm that Vatra is not developing the title. Furthermore, the game will not be running on the Unreal Engine, which is being used to power Downpour.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/09/silent-hill-book-of-memories-is-multiplayer-not-made-by-vatra/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Silent Hill: Book of Memories is multiplayer, not made by Vatra</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/09/silent-hill-book-of-memories-is-multiplayer-not-made-by-vatra/">Silent Hill: Book of Memories is multiplayer, not made by Vatra</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 09 Jun 2011 19:25:00 EST.
