Silent Hill: Homecoming

Necronomicon

Anyone gonna get this next Friday? I'm looking forward to it myself, despite hearing luke-warm reviews. The general consensus so far seems to be that it's not as scary as the old games and there's more of an emphasis on the action.

I wasn't a huge fan of the originals (I think when I played the first I was a bit young to appreciate slow-burners) so at least I won't be doing too much comparing. Besides, when Resident Evil 4 put more emphasis on action over atmosphere it didn't turn out half bad!

Edit: I just heard about the delay It's still down on Gamesnash as being released on the 31st. Boo-urns.

Double edit: Just read that the 'delay' was just a rumour which was squashed by Konami. Happy days!

If it comes out on Friday, I'll get it.

I don't know whether to believe the release date or not...

i used to like silent hill but it let me down to many times, so instead i've opted for dead space and i'm happy i made that choice.

Also, here's a thread on the Silent Hill forum that put an end to the rumour of the delay:

Hi guys,

We have not been officially told by Konamis Irish distributors that the game has been delayed but it does appear to have been put back to Feb 09. ( We will more than likely be told tomorrow morning !!! ) but considering Konamis own site are now saying coming soon in Feb 09 I think it's a fair assumption.

We don't understand ourselves how this has been pushed back considering it has been out in the USA for a few weeks now and can only assume it had certification issues in Europe

Necronomicon

That sucks. Will you keep us updated?

Good thing there are so many games coming out right now! (Which I guess may be a contributing reason for the delay?)

Will do !

Hell of a lot of good releases now - then again it is the peak release season. The game has had mixed reviews over in the USA so perhaps a tweak here or there to improve it is also on the agenda.
