Well, damn! After everything I'd been hearing, it sounded like it was going to be nothing more than an attempt to copy the success of Heavy Rain and various sandbox RPGs (seriously, a massive open world with sidequests? And quick-time events? And what was with that ridiculous KORN song? And where is my Akira Yamaoka?!)...But now I have hope again.Jonsbax said:Well, Jim did give a pretty positive review to Silent Hill: Downpour. *Hides his overpouring glee*EmperorSubcutaneous said:(Also, please talk about Silent Hill more. I just like hearing it said. The re-releases are shaping up to be shit and I have no reason to have any hopes for Downpour, so just hearing people talk about Silent Hill fondly makes me feel like the franchise is still alive...somehow...)

Still going to wait and see what Yahtzee says. I don't trust anyone other than Jim and Yahtzee when it comes to reviewing Silent Hill games. If they both agree that it's worth playing, I'll gladly pick it up.
