Both PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Konami's horror sequel Silent Hill V are on show in 17 new screenshots from the sequel. We're not exactly bricking our pants. Are you? Check them out...
Silent Hill V devs say the game's going to be more like Silent Hill II, failing completely to understand that the SH series was so consistently interesting because of its plethora of new ideas and obscure concepts. Just because SH2's the best in the series to date doesn't mean we want more of the same.
Well the fanboys can't ague over this one, they both look very dissapointing. A lot of it looks like PSP standard textures or an average PS2 game. I'm not sure if being like the 2nd instalment is such a good idea, the story is very good but the 3rd game is a more polished experience.
I really hope this game is good,its make or break for the series i think. Graphically its a little weak in a few screens but graphics arent the most important factor of any game.
As for the difference between the 360 and ps3 screens, i couldnt see any. In fact i didnt actually realise they were screens from different consoles at first, only clocked on after i wondered why they had the same set of screens on twice.
Hmm, they do look a little toned down. Maybe they can port it over to the Wii and add some gameplay into the franchise
waving your arms around like a muppet constitutes gameplay?
Nope, things like actually aiming a gun-like device as opposed to "Pressing the Triangle Button". Pretty much something more than roping people in with pretty pictures and making them look around and say "oooh". Its not nice to take advantage of the ADD victims.

The Wii would probably strugle with a conversion of Silent Hil 1, silly insignificant little toy that it is
Hmmmm well done.
I am sure you are joking. Actually I think the Wii is quite a nice platform for survival horror for its own reasons. I think Resident Evil 4 being the definitive version is evidence. But I would love to see something tailored towards the machine directly.
i'll second that. very bland graphics with no imagination.
I 3rd that. Looks like KCEJ might get second thoughts about having 1 of there top games developed out of house. It has the making of a good looking game they just need to work on the graphics.
err, hello? isn't it months and months away from release? these are hardly screenshots of the finished product, the graphics will be far better when it's done, of that I'm confident (even if it isn't Team Silent developing it). does look a bit boring alright, tho
I will be the first to say that graphics aren't everything but to a silent hill game the visuals are paramount to setting the atmosphere, second only perhaps to the audio. They need to be grittier, more akin to the visual style used in the recent psp incarnation. To me it just doesn't seem scary enough, which is a shame but lets wait untill the review code and see whether this game could make you cack yourself like the earlier titles.
Somehow this game just fails to excite me. Bad textures (something the original developers Team Silent did brilliantly with the restraints of older technology) and character design that looks very recycled. Silent Hill 4 was not the best in the series, but it was original and it did manage to freak me out in places. This looks very glossy and Americanized - such a pity!
