Default Re: Silent Hill V Announced

No gameplay footage, just a voiceover and a logo...

There was a single screenshot of it on 1up... But there were no monsters, no interesting details to the atmosphere, and no frontal view of the character... I'll still go back and look for it again though *shuffles around*

Edit: Here's a link to both...

At least it's better than sitting through another game expo without any word at all...

I'm kind of worried that it's being developed by Climax Studios (the team handling Origins), since it's producer is the one that spoke about it...
Whatever happened to good ol' "Team Silent" at Konami? I fear that Konami has chucked the franchise off to this outside developer until the end of time, seeing as how I remember hearing (from Akira Yamaoka, or one of the other higher-ups) that SH5 might not have even gotten the green light from the company of it weren't for the Silent Hill movie's decent performance...

SH3 didn't sell enough to become a "greatest hits" title (1 and 2 did), 4 was originally a totally different game that was later molded into the Silent Hill franchise because it'd be more profitable than starting a new one (it didn't earn a "greatest hits" label either), then the next 2 games (apparently) get sent off to some outside developer after SH5 barely gets the go-ahead...

I am sad :<
