Previews of Silent Hill: Downpour and Silent Hill: Book of Memories
2012.01.04

Our fellow sites Silent Hill Historical Society and Rely on Horror had a chance to try Silent Hill: Downpour and Silent Hill: Book of Memories out at recent Konami press events and now they have published their previews. Here's a brief summary of some new facts from these two games. Silent Hill Downpour - The game takes place in a completely new area of the town except one location from the past games - The harder it rains, the more creature will attack you - The difficulty setting affects not only plot-related puzzles, but also puzzles from side quests - On-screen action prompts and glow effect on interactive objects can be turned off from the menu - There's an "Extras" menu with detailed statistics about player's current playthrough similar to results screens from the previous games - Xbox 360 version currently looks more polished than PS3 version - Mary Elizabeth McGlynn sings on 2 songs Silent Hill: Book of Memories - At the start of the game you create your character by picking the sex, class, look as well as a silhouetted charm which provides a permanent stat boost to your character - The game starts with a package delivered to the protagonist by Howard Blackwood, the postmaster from Downpour and Past Life. The book inside the package contains the record of the entire life of the character. The trouble starts when the character tries to alter the text inside the book - Howard sells items and weapons in the game - You can equip artifacts that will have an effect on your stats. Each equipment slot has a specific stat alignment which differ per class - The layout of each nightmare zone will be random and different every time you play - The inventory is limited. Initially you can hold just two weapons, like in Downpour, but later in the game the inventory can be upgraded to hold more weapons and items - Soundtrack is composed by Dan Licht - Characters and enemies have two Karmas - Light (healing) and Blood (attack). By killing Blood enemies you increase your Light Karma and on the contrary. When the Karma meter is filled you can perform a “Karma Ability”. There is also a third class of tougher creatures - Steel enemies - BoM is a spinoff title that takes place in the canon Silent Hill universe Source: Silent Hill Historical Society, Rely on Horror |
