Silent Hill 8
That's right, Team Silence is back, and with them, after several sequels, we're back in Silent Hill (Not counting the prequel and remake)

I just found out that Homecoming apparently took place in Silent Hill haermmThough I'm still right, since it focused on Shepherd's Glen uhuh
Or something
I'm not even sure if Homecoming is canon to the Silent Hill franchise. I think it's safe to say that Homecoming is in the same universe as the movie. What made me notice this was the town sign.
Silent Hill 8 has definately caught my attention though what questions me is what the gameplay will be like and is that really what the playable character will look like? His hair just plain bugs me for some reason.
Has anyone noticed that most Silent Hill games have you starting the first level which is a dream sequence? I never understood that.

Homecoming apparently had Travis Grady in it.

This is the town sign seen in the movie:

Wasn't the sign seen at the end of the SH8 trailer the town sign?
I don't think it tales place in the movie universe... it just Silent Hill, they took cues from the movie that worked well and incorporate into the game... one and the other are separate entities... pretty much like every SH that gets re-imagined with every game, with just a few connection every two games 😬
this new trailer has the same sign and it could probably be a sequel to the 3rd game or the 2nd or whatever...
why the hell is this beeing called SH8?... last numbered was 4, and Homecoming could be consider 5...

So, because the town signs the same, that means the game takes place in the same universe? Seriously? 😬
No, it was a sign showing Silent Hill was ahead. You see those kinds of signs all the time.

I guess they're counting Origins and Shattered Dreams

Say whatever you want but I thought the town sign seen in Homecoming was in the same verse as the movie and it gave me some major deja vu. I only thought they were in the same verse 'cause I never saw that town sign in the previous Silent Hill games so it made me wonder.
I heard that the guy making the soundtracks for SH8 will be the same one who made soundtracks for the movie Hellraiser. That seems interesting although I'm gonna miss the guy who made all those soundtracks for the past SH games for they were always epic and spooky at the same time. Why did he leave to join Suda 51?

If you noticed, they are on opposite sides of the road.

Shattered Dreams is the "run-like-a-sissy" version of the original SH game, which is canonically the 2nd part of the series.
Seems like this game is the sequel to the most recent SH storyline (whichever it is).
Oops, my bad.
This game is likely another story happening at the same time around the original SH timeline.
The Wikis that I lurked tell me that this game is NOT made by Team Silent, which is unfortunate.
Also, the absence of Akira Yamaoka is another unfortunate thing; the music scores will lack the haunting sounds that made the first 3 SH games exceptional.
Hope this game doesn't turn out into bullcrap like Shattered Memories or Homecoming >_>
Triple post FTW. Bauws.
The trailer looks good. I've always enjoyed this franchise. The first two games are masterpieces and remain at the top of the eerily disturbing list of video games. With that said, I'm not really all that excited to play this game. I mean, i am, but, to me, it feels like the Silent Hill story has been told. The mystery is gone and as the audience i know what to expect from Silent Hill and that all but takes away the scare factor.
