It's not much, but it's still interesting... to me, at least :p
Ok so the background for the character is nothing special... no daughter gone missing... no letter from dead wife... she's just in town shopping and "she gets trapped in an unusual situation, and that's where the story begins."...
And as for the subway... they say that it's seperate from Silent Hill... sort of...
IGN: So is that a separate place entirely, or...?
Nakazawa: (hesitating) Well...yes and no. You can learn about that a little more later on.
The guy says he thinks that this SH game will be the scariest of them all... and check this out... they were shown a little demo of the game (seperate from the trailer)...
The demo shown is a small bathroom, with Heather standing in the middle of it. The walls and other objects in the room (a bathtub, for example), are overlaid with a second texture layer resembling blood vessels, like a microscopic view of capillaries under your skin. The effect is very well-matched to the resolution of the other textures in the environment, and gives a striking impression of blood coursing through the walls around you. Very creepy.
They say the effect is to give you the feeling that you've actually been like swallowed by the town... or something...
And they say that so far they've only got 2 textures on things, but that it's still a "very light load on the processor"... and by the time of release they could possibly get more in some areas... "So you could be fighting against a monster in this situation, with different layers on different objects."
And it sounds like the game will spend a lot more time in the alternate world...
In Silent Hill 3, there is no situation of finding someone who's lost. Heather is just an ordinary person. One day, all of a sudden, she's just trapped into a strange place. Her motivation is just to survive, to get out of the alternate world.
I wonder how the story for that will work... it better still be confusing and complex like SH1 and 2's (well, SH2's was kinda confusing and complex when it came to little details about the town)... Maybe she has some kind of unknown connection to the town...
And just the last thing I'll mention is that like... I always thought that the games were linked just by the town, y'know... Like they all take place in the town, and you kinda learn more about the history each time... but apparently something else will link the games together, too... but he didn't say what, of course... I wonder what it could be... Dhalia Gellespi? Allessa? Samael or some other weird god things?
I can't wait for SH3 :D
