Publisher:Konami Developer:
Konami
Release: Nov 08, 2001
Genre: Adventure/Horror
The spring 2001 Tokyo Game
Show, featured this puppy for the first time in
public. Silent Hill 2 was only in video form but
it still got the attention of many on lookers
passing by the Konami booth. Going into E3 this
year, we found out that Silent Hill 2 would be
hitting the X-Box wide open AND (this is big...)
it will be a launch title! Yeah thats right, it
will hit stores in Japan and The U.S. on there
respected launch dates.
The Xbox version of Silent Hill
2 is being developed using an entirely new engine
that will be optimized specifically for the
console. The brief video clip showed at TGS had
the game's lead character, James, speaking with
several NPCs, including one of the game's lead
female characters, Claire. Interspersed within
these conversational scenes were the now familiar
sequences that showed a partially decapitated
nurse. Plus all the action seqences displayed
some excellent music to fit the gothic mood of
the game. The voice over shown in the videos at
TGS and E3 were top notch and could be the best
among the latest crop of survival horror titles
to hit the market recently.
Don't worry all you PS2 fans,
Silent Hill 2 will still be heading your way too!
I'll throw more info your way once I can get my
grubby has on some.
