  • Also, this may get new fans, but this is at the risk of completely alienating the people responsible for this series even gaining any sort of popularity. Regardless, it is what it is.

  • The song, IMO, is inappropriate for a game that calls itself Silent Hill. That, and the magical negro and brooding anti hero cliches aren't painting a good picture. It's not just about being scary (which it's trying way to hard to do) but it's about depth. Every little thing in the games by Team Silent reflected the main character's psyche in a nuanced fashion, though this is looking to be very ham-fisted approach on story telling. I'm skeptical, but still hopeful...

  • What the song?

  • Cool song

  • @fade2dark residential evil is an action horror game while Silent hill is about suspense horror and that's why theres hardly any action. Personally I think Silent hill is the better out of the two and resident evil is good, but I don't like the action horror type games where the only scares you get are when something jumps out at you. silent Hills have actually got better reviews then resident evil because of how dark and twisted the story lines are. I will be getting this and the new Resident

  • unfortunately most people now who saw RE n SH from the start will not be alive to see it but our progeny will at least thats something right.....

  • will always stand the test of time because ppl will still want more ...shoot we have 25 n 30+ yr plus franchises so right now RE hitting its 16th year and SH hitting its 13th year we have much to be happy about...........the big question is how will this or any other franchise be like once it hits 1 century old.......thats the big question if a franchise can reach that then pretty much others can what will RE n SH be once they hit 100yrs old.......that would be something worth seeeing but

  • @PaPiRiCoSuAvE yes RE made us fear our physical weaknesses and our fears of never being ready for what lied ahead while SH made us fear our selves and the demons wee carry with us. They are the back bone of survival horror but I need to disagree on 1 thing. 5 was not awesome it tried being what it wasn't and didn't work it tried being the game we expected but it failed. 5 was a failure as a RE game and a passable action game at best

  • @TimeBomb014X Silent Hill didn't get us to fear anything. The first silent hill was absolutely LAUGHABLE. The game was anything but memorable. The second one, I remember renting, Running around in a town looking for something to kill.. so fucking boring. I played the first Silent Hill when I was 12, That game didnt scare me for shit. If the game couldnt scare a 12 year old, then the game, as a horror game, was the failure. At least I was entertained by RE5.

  • @Fade2Dark lol good trolling.

  • Comment removed

  • @Fade2Dark I don't understand what is so scary about being armed to the teeth, and henceforth, shooting the crap out of everything. In Silent Hill, you have a nothing but a stick with nails in it, that and your character isn't a marine or anything, he/she is just a normal joe with a mentally scarring backstory. Resident Evil isn't supposed to be scary anymore, It's Action-Horror, not Survival Horror.

  • angles,crappy voice acting which they more or less improved over time but thats pretty much the norm for survival horror yes times change and it has to eveolve but thats what makes it scary RE 4 n 5 which 4 being the title that is regarded as one of the best horror games in existence and 5 which life like graphics made it one pretty looking game and even though most ppl says its not the same impacts as 4 gave its still one awesome game beter than most....point is I love survival horror n RE n SH

  • @PaPiRiCoSuAvE It was actually RE that defined survival horror. Even though there were games that existed before such as "sweet home" and "alone in the dark" It was Resident Evil that gave it the definition "survival horror." The first game I found to be scary, personally, was Splatter House. '92-'93? somewhere in there.

  • these franchises mechanics or not dead space is on 3rd place to me but no matter how better or worst other survival horror franchises are no other franchises can touch these 2 masters of survival horror....they might not have created survival horror like the grandaddy of survival horror which is alone in the dark and maybe others that came before it but in more modern times these 2 are untouchable >) Konami n Capcom are masters in what they do...yes there is the movement contro issues,camera

  • Resident Evil n Silent hill defined survival horror ...yes there is dead space which is awesome but if it wasnt for those 2 franchises survial horror wouldnt be what it is today no matter what Silent Hill n Resident Evil will always stand the tests of time trying to top one another which each new installments in their franchises...hands down there r other good survival horror franchises that led to these 2 franchises before n after they came out....no franchise wether it improves its

  • korn is just the intro. i was horrified too, but its skipable. i just cant wait for this game and to hear dan lichts amazing score. i havent been this excited in years for a game. silent hill needs to be on top again

  • I love Silent Hill Series! I've been a fan since the first game and I can't wait to play this one as well, it simply looks amazing! One thing though, why is Korn in the trailer? Didn't expect that. And most certainly didn't liked it, so I hope they'll be only in the trailer and not in the actual game. Cheers!

  • I think they should really stop making silent hill games. After the third one every part uked and just lived by tha name itself, kinda like final fantasy. I loved silent hill but no its turns more and more into hate for what they did with a good game.

  • I wonder if theres gonna be a prison rape demon? gah!!

  • I'm still halfway through The Room and it's giving me a damn hard time but this looks so sweet I can't stand the anxiety!

  • This new Silent Hill game looks very intense and also filled with newer and scarier monsters, how could you judge such a trailer with a bad view? The monsters look gruesome and horrifying, awesome graphics, and epic protagonist! Homecoming was shitty and not even scary, what like 4 or 3 monsters were in the game the entire time? I can't wait for the bosses in Downpour.

  • This ... looks really awesome.

  • Looks Amazing !!!

  • Dear god guys, quit bitching. This is silent hill, we're supposed to be fans, fans don't whine about what theyre fans of

  • the cop looks just like the cybil from Shattered Memories

  • Sillent hill is dead,thats ok the first four games give me many hours of fun and terror,this is not sillent hill anymore

    .

  • BOMB AS SONG!! it awesome !!

  • `Why does Silent Hill 3 look better than this?

    Every new SH game character looking like they are blind.

  • just here for the korn, silent hill fanbase sucks cant believe they bitch so much at one song I was interested in the series but seeing how retarded the fanbase is I will avoid the games at all cost. almost as bad as the sonic fandom. (ok maybe not THAT bad)

  • @fiattrickbox speaking as a person who would describe themselves as being a fan of silent hill. Silent hill fans suck, if it's not Silent Hill 2 then it's crap, SH 3 not amazing, but creepy and interesting, SH4 good concept bogged by escort mission (bleah), SH Homecoming, would have been great if the concept had been intact (soldier/war crimes/ watch Jacob's ladder) and not turned into hostle at the end. I have hope for downpour. and korn doesn't completely suck (just mostly)

  • @bloodydjehuty glad I'm not being flamed to death about my little rant as well that there are some sh fans that know better.

  • @fiattrickbox

    don't worry, i'm an SH fan but I hate the fanbase too. trust me the games are actually really good (well some of them anyways)

  • @fiattrickbox that's dumb of you hating on a game because of it's fanbase besides that's what they want you to do if you really hate the fanbase than buy the game just to stick in their faces

  • Wants the song..? anyone i know its Korn but Korn what xD

  • Graphic whores.....Stfu...you are last people who should be trusted to give your review on anything gaming...

  • It's Messi ?! 0:48

  • i wanna play that shit

  • Where I can download this song ? thumbs up if you like it !

  • @THUncharted123 it's a stupid song THUMP DOWN

  • at 0:39 can anyone tell me if that is this aristocrat monster iv been hearing about???

  • I'm kinda excited for this game. I can't really wait, I'll probaly buy it the same day it comes out. Even though the Silent Hill releases since SH4 (Origins, Homecoming and Shattered Memories) haven't been so good and contradict the info given in the original games made by Team Silent, I still think they can bring out something very good. Maybe not as good as the first three, but something that goes with what Silent Hill is.

    And about this song. It is really good. But does not fit SH.

  • It's no theme of Laura but ok.

  • Made czech republic studio vatra

  • This trailer is very scary, but for the wrong reasons.

  • Hope it doesn't suck. The first three were awesome.

  • I just came for korn . . .oh and for fucking silent hill

  • @megaten666 korn isn't doing the entire soundtrack, only this song to 'bring in the new audience' said konami, Vatra didn't really agree with it ether by went along. Daniel licht is doing the soundtrack and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn too. If you have doubts listen to the intro theme, which is up now. I'm pretty sure you will think different wise. Plus I did like akira, but he got abit rusty on the last scores he did. So its time for new blood and Daniel doesn't seem like he will let us down. ;)

  • 0:30 is that Snake!? sounds like David Hayter!!

  • @ShowlidSnake Hayter's doing the voice for Murphy in this one.

  • @megaten666 also, this is just the intro video before the menu, you can easily skip it and play the game if you don't like it. Please don't judge a whole game for one song. Otherwise you will look like a closed minded fool.

  • @megaten666 at me or others out there? I thought they were the best, different from any other games out there and truly terrifying. But I'm not going to say this one sucked for what double helix did with homecoming. I think this will most likely match the originals, and even if it didn't it will most definatly top homecoming and shattered memories.

  • @DevinFilms66792

    I think Downpour is going to be better than Homecoming, no doubt in that, but... this song... I always felt something from SH opening songs, maybe because it was always Yamaoka, but now that he left, I'm afraid of the BGM quality. And all I can say, as far as this opening goes, it doesn't convinced me. I wanted something more melodic, like always. This is metal. And it doesn't fit. *sigh* Hope the rest will be okay.

  • You know, I'm gonna miss Mary Elizabeth McGlynn... I could deal with a new female singer and a new music composer... but why Korn?? Seriously, it feels nothing like before... and that's not good. It's pure shit in my ear. Not that Korn is bad, but doesn't fit for a Silent Hill game. Feels like an opening for a cheap never ending american TV show.

  • @megaten666 She's actually going to do quite a bit of singing in this game, it's just unsure what exactly will she sing.

  • what is this song?

  • 302? Isn't that the Room of Angel in sh4?

  • @DevinFilms66792 Yeah, I think that's a neat reference to SH 4.

  • SŁYCHAĆ STRZAŁY

  • Comment removed

  • So is the guy with the gas mask going to be the Pyramid Head of this game? Doesn't look as ominous or iconic.

  • @candiedwatermelon We don't know yet what is his role in the game.

  • @Simpleman925 Hopefully it's a good one. His appearances have been kind of lame since SH2

  • @candiedwatermelon You can't know if it's a PH type monster yet though.

  • yup! totally waiting for this :D

  • This game looks fucking awesome.

  • @SubjectSigma77, I think the graphics are fine, knowing this maybe the best on old generation consoles. But it was also mentioned that the story is really great and the atmosphere of isolation and paranoia from being hunted and toyed with play major roles in this title.

  • ok to anyone who talks bull on this game and never played it dont i havent played which is why i want to play it i want to see how it has basically updated out of all the scary versions

  • its not gonna be the same without akria yamaoka his sound it what made the game for me

  • @StrayxDog To be fair, I think you could argue that Harry Mason and James Sunderland looked like generic protagonists as well. But, of course, they weren't. I'm not saying people should go into this expecting Silent Hill 2, which'll never happen again, but I'm willing to be surprised. Like you, though, I do miss the SH 1-4 era; wonderful time in gaming.

  • @StrayxDog

    Welp, you can do that if you want. The past is a nice place, I can see why you'd want to stay there. I'll stay here in the present, though, where people who can accept new things and enjoy them are.

  • @StrayxDog Murphy is a prisoner, it's normal there there will be prison and police involved.

    Korn is only doing the intro song, score is composed by Daniel Licht. Check out the spoiler free town exploration video to hear his music. It's pretty good.

    You haven't even played the game and judging by your comment you don't know anything about the game.

  • @StrayxDog Is your FUCKING favorite game RESIDENT EVIL 5 and started hating silent hill because no RACISM?

  • @Simpleman925 hard for anyone to know the game it ain't but I will say though I am not a fan of that glowing red vortex that periodiclly appear or like the idea that I can only carry one melle weapon at any given time but aside from that I'm very hopeful of this game and the guy with the gas mask looks promising and intimidating

  • @StrayxDog Purist fanboys like you really irritate me. The game isn't even out yet and you throw around these idiotic remarks like it's all fact.

    Give it a chance at least. So Akira isn't here. Big fucking whoop. He left to work on something else with Suda51 [Shadows of the Damned and Lollipop Chainsaw], so that probably means he's just bored with the series. That gives a brand new company a chance to put their own vision into it and reinvent the series, maybe for the better. (part1)

  • I seriously hope this game's storyline isn't going to be as transparent as Homecoming.

  • Every Silent Hill game ever made was far from perfect. Somehow us fans managed to love the games anyway. At a certain point you have to decide whether you want to continue to live in the past with rose tinted glasses or learn how to enjoy these games for what they are and not what you think they should be.

  • @durmortec I disagree; SH 1-3 are masterpieces in the horror genre.

  • I haven't played this game yet, but I can tell you from what I've seen so far, it looks like a cheesy American horror film. I knew Silent Hill 4 was awesome just from the game trailers, it was super eerie. I know most people didn't like 4, but 1 and 3 had a very eerie authentic feel to it as well. They did not feel like a cheesy B movie like this.

  • It looks amazing, i was considering to buy a ps3 just because of this

  • Sadly, Silent Hill is now completely 'American-ized'.

  • @ARCDBEACH Silent Hill was influenced by western horror from the beginning. It can't be any more "americanized".

  • @Simpleman925 There is a massive difference between a game created by an asian team being somewhat influenced by American horror,versus an non-asian team being mostly influences by American horror.A good example of this is the difference between Metal Gear Soild versus Splinter Cell. Both influence by American military ideas, but Metal gear had a very clear style, while Splinter Cell looked and played generic. SH Downpour is clearly Generic American B movie quality,not the good quality is was.

  • @DarthYuYevon Good thing you know how the game is without even playing it. Neat.

  • Idk why people say it looks bad it looks scarier than dead space and also the song is great but im not a huge fan of silent hill so i cant judge but still

  • I know that this comments might cause some controversy, but since the game runs on Unreal Engine 3 the exploration and combat kind of looks like stuff you might see in Gears of war

  • song sounds great 

  • The monsters havent looked this good since Silent Hill 4.

  • I want to hear Mary Elizabeth McGlynn sing this song. Thumbs up if you agree.

  • I'll pre order this right now.

  • This game looks amazing! I love the series, and I want this game. Sucks that im saving up for resident evil: ORC but im still getting this game as soon as possible!

  • La Cancion se llama Korn- Downpour

  • @CristianGarayR no, la cancion se llama Silent Hill, ya confirmaron la lista de las canciones oficiales con sus respectivos nombres hace dias.

    pasate por aqui para mas informacion:

    es. silenthill.wikia.com/wiki/Sile­nt_Hill:_Downpour_Original_Sou­ndtrack

  • KORN?! WHAT THE HELL?

  • Lololol at people letting the Korn song deter them from getting the game. People always find something to bitch about, even something as miniscule as the skip-able start screen song, because it's going to affect the game SO MUCH. Daa'ww, you poor babies.

  • does anybody know the name of the friggin song??!!!!!!!

  • @mickygarbagecabron This question has been coming up way to often. The song hasn't been released in a clean fashion and most likely won't be until the release of the soundtrack.

  • @Psychstix the name is Silent Hill:

    es. silenthill.wikia.com/wiki/Sile­nt_Hill:_Downpour_Original_Sou­ndtrack

  • F****** song

  • omg everyone freaks out about graphics! What about the story, atmospere, and gameplay

  • @BrichuBabE What do you think of the new Korn album by the way?

  • JESUS PEOPLE just be glad they are still making silent hill games for some of you bastard and some appreciated fans -_-

  • fuck ya! cant wait for it cuz l love silent hill games, dont really care if graphics are bad cuz they have always been kind of shitty

  • The graphics and quality is so bad

  • How can a song suck so hard?

  • and they still haven't changed the bad voice acting...

  • silent hill FPS is what i want

  • "It's my brother! I was just playing, trying to scare him. I shut him in. But now the water's filling up. He can't get out. I can't get him out!"..remember from SH Shattered Memories? What if the rain in Downpour has to do with the water from the message? Maybe Murphy was the kid that shut his brother in!!

  • @ArtificialMagic

    Huh. I doubt it, but that's a cool theory!

  • well, maybe because of the song, but I`m not gonna yell "this is the same crap as homecoming" and actually gonna give this game a chance

  • I'm a KoRn fan and a huge Silent Hill fan so when I heard KoRn was making the theme song, I was ecstatic. I like it.

  • I said BORING exploration.

    I'm a fan of Silent Hill and i have played it since silent hill 1, and really, it's not in the spirit of the serie, just like Homecoming.

  • @123Medmedmed

    Well its good that no one gives a shit :)

  • @123Medmedmed As I did too, and yet I find Downpour probably one of the greatest games since the originals... Not saying Homecoming was bad or Shattered Memories, they were good just not good enough to live to the previous... Whatever I tried, keep a closed mind and live in the past. Ether way if they did keep the whole series as just "Silent Hill 2" you'd still would be complaining saying that it's all the same... Smh

  • The idios saying the graphics aren't good need to get a life, this game's graphics are fine, better than homecomming anyway.

  • damn I really liked Akira Yamaoka and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, ugh i guess Korn is cool to, I just hope Downpour doesnt suck

  • @LinkinPark7871 Korn only does the main theme, soundtrack is composed by Daniel Licht.

  • The graphics are bad =(....for a NEW Silent Hill...

  • this silent hill looks like garbage, homecoming was good and dark as hell but this doesnt look that interesting, guess i just need to play it

  • I love Koяn, I love Silent Hill.... but... both together....nah, it's doesn't fit... like cheese burger and french wine...

  • KoRn friggin RULES!!! i hope they play this song at one of their concerts

  • One last thing; I wonder, will this game connect to previous ones? Other than a cult, that is. I mean, SH 4 had dropped a not-so-hint of a hint that the superintendent's son was James Sunderland. SH2 also had pieces of Walter Sullivan's history and Joseph lying about. SH3 is obviously a direct sequal to the first one. I can't say much about Homecoming, I've never actually gotten far. It'd be cool if it was completely new and original, but at the same time I would feel a slight loss.

  • @VanityElric2 The devs said they put hidden messages like articles and graffiti that somewhat resembles the originals so that old fans of the series will go "hey I know what that is" or "I know exactly what this article is talking about"

  • Pyramid Head is supposed to strictly be a Silent Hill 2 monster that represents James' punishment and guilt. There was the Butcher, Valtiel, Asphyxia, God, ghosts, etc to represent similar things or just as important roles throughout Silent Hill for the different characters. It wouldn't make sense if Pyramid Head was in this game. Every SH needs at least mostly-original monsters. It seems the Barbie monster took the Nurse's place, which she actually looks very cool.

  • @VanityElric2 I LOVE the barbie, shes so creepy, I think she will be like a mannequin in a shape of a woman

  • For this particular game and what it looks like the protagonist's history is, I think they did a good job with choosing the song. I dont like Korn at all, but I'm not going to complain and hey, I like a handful of their songs.

  • I never quite got why people consider Korn Nu Metal. You really can hardly draw any lines from Korn to musical gang-rapists like Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park. They don't sound anything alike. If anything, Korn is a prog-rock band. Always developing their sound, taking music places it's never been before... Seriously, what's with all the hate?

  • I don't like the idea of Korn making the main theme. But the game itself is amazing, original and fresh. I can hardly wait for this game to be released.

  • i miss those awesome jazzy guitar solos Akira did from SH2!

    hey if they got Korn too do something kool like this, why not for something with atmosphere and guitar? (personally, i was thinking Buckethead. checkout his song "machete". reminds me of sh in a way).

  • IS THIS SUPPOSED TO BE SILENT HILL ?

    SERIOUSLY, JUST LOOK AT THE MUSIC.

  • @123Medmedmed Lol you kidding me?

  • @Alchohollica

    No...

    Silent Hill is supposed to be scary...

    This shit looks like a shoot'em up.

    Silent hill is dead since Homecoming.

  • @123Medmedmed I'm pretty sure that the music was added by the uploader? What, you think Korn is the soundtrack for the game? LOL

  • @Alchohollica

    No this is from the game.

    Where's the fog, the scary music...RIP Silent hill...

  • @123Medmedmed Umm...have you seen the gameplay videos or any other Downpour trailers etc, at all? There's fog and scary music.

  • @Alchohollica Korn does only the main theme. The soundtrack is made by Daniel Licht.

  • @Simpleman925 I have to admit, Korn being involved in any way with the music kind of sucks. I'll still try it out though.

  • @Alchohollica You need to try it out. It's silly if you don't wanna play the game because of just one song that you can skip if you want.

  • @123Medmedmed How does this look like a shoot em up if there will be 70% exploration and 30% combat. The emphasis is on survival and exploration.

  • @Simpleman925

    This doesn't look like a Silent Hill. Seriously, have you ever played SH1, 2, 3 ?

    It's completely different.

  • @123Medmedmed First off, I'm not going to judge you by how stupid you are for basing a WHOLE game, for just one little intro song, which it will ONLY be played in the intro... But also, have you PLAYED this game? Do you KNOW what it's all about? Because if you don't then you have absolutely no room judge this game as it is in development. And if you can't help but do so, go somewhere else and waste time complaining when no one notices your comment.

  • @DevinFilms66792

    Silent hill is supposed to have a fucking scary atmosphere. Just look at the atmosphere in Silent Hill 2.

    I saw gameplay of Downpour. There is only action and ALOT of BORING exploration.

  • @123Medmedmed There will be 70% exploration and 30% combat. The emphasis is on survival and exploration. Boring exploration? Oh you mean the same exploration that SH 1 and 2 had? In Downpour you can explore the whole town, find sidequests etc.

    The atmosphere is amazing, it doesn't resemble L4D at all.

    You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

  • @Simpleman925

    Did you saw gameplay ? There's just dark places, but without the atmosphere of the old Silent Hill...

    Well, silent hill is dead since Homecoming, who murdered the serie.

    There will be 70% boring exploration with a torchlamp and 30% combat with random monsters.

    Maybe it will be a good game, but certainly not a good Silent Hill.

  • @123Medmedmed If you find this game boring and 'too much exploration' then you are not one for SURVIVAL horror... Go play some action packed extreme linear milked series like CoD...

  • @Simpleman925 I agree, I grow tired of hearing people complain about this game. they don't even back up their reasons anyway with logical answers. OH the graphis are so bad. Well so was 2's but that was a while ago and I still enjoyed it a lot. It's not about graphics it's about the game and story and i'ts said too say people can still call themselves fans of Silent Hill at all.

  • @123Medmedmed Have you played it, no you have not, thus you can't predict the atmosphere sucks if you play it in a dark room without the annoying conversation in the background... You're only watching THEM play it, and boring?? How the HELL is it boring? You get to choose where to go, what door to open, what things are available to pick up, unlike most Silent Hills with their 'broken lock' doors... I bet if someone new looked at SH2 gameplay they would say it's boring exploration, mostly running

  • @DevinFilms66792

    For anyone who's say SH1 through 4 is boring, I have a message:

    FUCK!!! YOU!!!

  • @123Medmedmed around... Also how the HELL did you compare L4D to Downpour? L4D = running around and shooting fast zombies... Downpour = RUNNNING from monsters who could kill you if they get the chance... They are NOTHING alike... That's like comparing Chinese food to Mexican! It's fans like you who I distaste, and it's fans like you who dis everything that comes out because 'one game wasn't as good as the rest' idea... You make me feel bad for liking the same series as you... 

  • @DevinFilms66792

    And the atmosphere looks like a zombie game like L4D...

  • ok i try to watch a silent hill trailer then fucking toaster stroodles get in my fucking way. DAMN YOU TOASTER STROODLES!!!!!

  • Does anyone know when you will be able to download the demo from Playstation store? Must really test it. Please tell me!

  • Sure looks like shit

  • People bitch when they use stuff from Silent Hill 2 but when they try new and original things they still moan and bitch. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT!?
