Here’s a commentary video from ComicCon where horror website Dreadcentral.com got a chance to play Silent Hill Homecoming on an Xbox 360 build. So what does this video reveal? During the game, we will get to explore part of Shepard’s Glen and the town of Silent Hill itself. In the video clip, we watch as Alex plays through the first portion of the game - the hospital - and comes up against a variety of clever puzzles, familiar monsters, and highly detailed cinematics. The combat looks amazing. When Alex cuts the nurse, actual slash marks appear on the character model for realtime damage effects.

The game will also feature incredibly detaled “otherworld” transistions. The first one in the game will be purely cinematic and intense, but the rest will all be played out in real time. Very cool. I can’t wait to see this with my own eyes!

During gameplay, you’ll also get to discover notes left by previous characters in the Silent Hill universe. Another nice touch. Only about a month and a half until the game’s release! September 30th will be here before you know it. If you haven’t preordered your copy of Silent Hill Homecoming yet, you can preorder right now directly from Amazon.com using the handy links below:

Konami was recently at Comic Con 2008 in San Diego and had Silent Hill Homecoming on display. In this clip we see an interview and some new gameplay footage. Some of the weapons are discussed and we watch Alex fight some of the classic monsters that have become a staple of the series. The graphics are incredibly polished and smooth, and the game appears to be shaping up to be simply amazing. As a quick side note, the combat looks improved over the earlier games in the franchise. It seems to be more fluid and not so clunky. Enjoy!
