E3 2010: Konami Announces Silent Hill 8 For Playstation 3 And Xbox 360As an avid gamer and horror fan, one of my favorite pastimes has always been roaming around the ashy streets of Silent Hill. Thanks to Konami and a rabid fanbase, we’ll soon be doing so again as the publisher has just announced that Silent Hill 8 will soon be available for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360!

From the Press Release
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today unveiled Silent Hill 8 (working title), the eighth installment of the Silent Hill franchise. Scheduled to launch in 2011 on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Staying true to the franchise’s original roots, the game returns with another third person horror experience, and an all-new thought-provoking storyline. Players will once again find themselves face to face with their deepest sins and fears in the strange world of Silent Hill.

“In honoring the rich history and strong following of Silent Hill, we’re working hard to build a next generation horror game that the fans truly deserve,” said Shinji Hirano, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. “This Silent Hill introduces an all-new storyline and unique evolutions in gameplay, building on innovations and successes from over a decade of true survival horror and terror.”

The survival horror experience begins after a prison transport vehicle careens off the road, leaving lone inmate Murphy Pendleton stranded in Silent Hill. Gamers will encounter mind-bending puzzles as well as horrific creatures and otherworld terrors, using everyday objects from wooden chairs to glass bottles to fend off their enemies. The natural response, fight or flight, is left to the players as they unravel a dark, thought-provoking storyline that will appeal to fans of the early, classic Silent Hill series as well as anyone who enjoys a deep, psychological horror experience. In addition to the main storyline, players will also be presented with variable side quests along the way that can change depending on their play style, revealing unknown evils within the town.
