Silent Hill: Book of Memories seems quietly delayed again

Destructoid:

Silent Hill: Book of Memories was originally due to release in March, but Konami delayed it to May without telling anybody. Well, we're halfway through May and guess what! It appears to be postponed at the eleventh hour with no formal announcement. Yep ... again.

Its going to be re-shown at E3.

That game must be in some serious trouble. My hopes weren't too high anyway after Downpour and the HD collection. =/

I hope it gets cancelled.
Just not a fan of butchering the silent hill franchise.
Still we have the old games to look back on with the
HD collection right?......oh wait >_<
screw you Konami.

Why are you always hating and trolling every silent hill article?

HarryMasonHerpderp4362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

Silent hill was my favourite franchise.
It just sucks watching Konami ruin it with
every new instalment.
Im still really annoyed about the HD collection,
i was so looking forward to 2 of my favourite
games being in HD and look what they did to it!
they changed the voices,took textures out of the game,took the fog out,filled it with bugs and slow framerate the list goes on!
And now we have book of memories a top down shooter with stuff taken out of the old games,you know? the games with meaning and symbolism that still hold up to this day as some of the best horror games ever made.

*sigh* but you're right i am trolling a bit.
ill shut up from now on and stop posting on these articles. My bad.
just a SH1-4 fanboy lol

I second that. I'm sorry but I'll be harsh, this game looks like an unholy piece of abomination. Compare this to Silent Hill Origins and you'll understand what I mean. Co-op Silent Hill with birdseye camera? This must be a joke.

I'm a huge fan of SH series and I was eagerly waiting for a SH game for my Vita. There has been some speculations that a SH game was in the works, so I was confident that this would be the ultimate SH experience on a handheld just like it was with SH Origins. And then I saw the gameplay trailer and... Oh man, I'm just gonna tell you that it was one of the main reasons I sold my Vita.

Downpour on the other hand, is not the best SH game but it sure as hell is an atmospheric experience with nice design and a good presentation. Vatra did it well, it was a lot better than the other abomination known to mankind as Homecoming.

I never saw these early dates, I've always seen October 2012. Well, other than the march date.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26181d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake181d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69180d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26180d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!

Honestly, I'd add Lords of Shadow 2 to the list. That was a huge disappointment.

I thought Suikoden would be mention.

Konkani has very few franchises that people can look forward these days
