Silent Hill: Downpour Comes Full Circle on PS3

[Commander Fury]

I’m a sucker for horror games, so I jumped at a recent opportunity to watch a short demo of Konami’s upcoming <a href="http://blog.us.playstation.com/category/ps3/">PS3</a> survival-horror epic Silent Hill: Downpour. In a development applauded by series fans, Downpour strongly emphasizes creeping psychological horror over the twitchy action of recent entries like <a href="http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/games/silent-hill-homecoming-ps3.html">Silent Hill: Homecoming</a>.

 

You play as Murphy, a maximum-security inmate with a deeply troubled past. You awaken on the fringes of the cursed town of Silent Hill after your prison transport bus crashes. True to Silent Hill form, you’ll spend the rest of the game evading the town’s monstrous denizens while piecing together Murphy’s deepest secrets -- including the dark truths that brought him to Silent Hill.

 

I spoke with Producer Devin Shatsky, who answered some key questions while playing through the first section of the game. If you have questions, leave them in the comments and I’ll do my best to get you answers!
