Additonal Info:
The Silent Hill series has been raising the bar for horrifically scary environments ever since it's PlayStation debut, and this latest addition to the franchise is no exception. Silent Hill 5's developer, The Collective, is adding a few new features to make this already terrifying series even more unnerving.
Gone are the days of boring static environments that Silent Hill fans are accustomed too. With the Havok engine in-hand, objects in Silent Hill now have real-time physics. That means a careless player could knock into a chair, which might hit a table causing the lamp on the table to fall and alert the presence of a near-by monster. This could also set the stage for a whole series of puzzles and Easter-eggs the series is known for.
Silent Hill 5 is also using real-time world deterioration. Much like the Silent Hill movie, the "real" world will change around you into the more "demonic" version of the city. This means our beloved hospitals and elementary schools will become bloody and deadly instantaneously. Coupled with epic boss battles to make the most hardened veteran's blood run cold, it's easy to see why Silent Hill 5 will redefine survival horror when it launches on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 early next year.

Certainly sounds cool.. im a big Resident Evil fan though, and prefure the series better.. as well as the Fatal Frame/Project Zero seres.. but Silent Hill is certainly a fun survival horror series.
So much for the exclusivity. Well, this game went down the tubes very far and very quickly. I hate having to share once exclusive games that were so good with other consoles. This game could have been so much more if it had remained exclusive to the PlayStation platform but now we will have a stripped down version of the game all because it has to fit on one DVD. I guess we'll just have to see how bad it'll turn out because of this "equal gaming for al" mentality that developers seem to have.
psn id: gingo... this definetly looks a good buy for horror fans me personally its a no lol
never played any silent hill games... and i dont plan to either :P
I think i'll rent this one.
I never played this series,but it always seemed scarier than rival games.
this is a good buy for all game fans not just horror fans.
oh wow, can't wait! silent hill 3 already had the "deterioration" thing happen. they didn't show it....but it did have transitions between the real world and the demonic one.
