Silent Hill: Homecoming Gets Euro Release Date

Silent Hill: Homecoming Gets Euro Release Date
Written Thursday, December 18, 2008 by Dan Webb

It seems that Konami have decided to give their latest Silent Hill: Homecoming title a European release date of February 27th; over 5 months after the North American release date.

The announcement comes out the blue after no reason was given regarding the European release delay in the first place. There was even a doubt whether Europe would get it after all the extensive delays.

I must ask though ... Will anyone really care by then?

surely it wont be better than residen evil 5 though as that has online co-op, and zombie co-op seems to be a hot one at the moment

Who cares? The Silent Hill franchise is on its arse: anyone into their survival horror is playing Dead Space and counting down to RE5. This game is pointless.

You can't really compare Silent Hill to RE5, yes it's survival horror, but SH is more "get inside your head" horror, where RE has more recently become much more of a shoot em' up. You wouldn't compare Need for Speed with say GRID, just because they're both racing games.

But, as a big fan of the Silent Hill franchise, i'll probably be staying away from this - firstly because of the lack of any input from Team Silent and secondly, it doesn't look very good.

Though i'll happily get a copy if i'm proved wrong on the latter.

Hey, at least you guys have got Rock Band 2. Aus doesn't get that for like another year.

Anyway, if you have Dead Space, no reason for this.

ill be getting this, most likely wont bother getting res 5 after how res 4 on gamecube turned out, sure the game itself was ok but to me it just didnt feel like part of the resident evil series, more of a metal gear solid type spin off with all the codec cutscenes etc. so yea silent hill gets my vote

I have Silent Hill:Homecoming and really enjoyed it. Throughout the story it makes you wonder what is happening to the town and keeps you guessing. Its also freaky as hell. Screws with your head pretty bad. As for deadspace which i have also that game i didnt find scary at all. I dont understand how people say they couldnt play it unless someone was in the room with hem

i Totally agree with 7, i dont have a clue how dead space can be called survival horror, i played at a friends house and it was not even scary in the slightest

See, Im still looking forward to getting my hands on Silent Hill, but if they think that on Feb 27th I'll be paying anything more than £20 for it, they can bow to my middle finger

Oooo can't wait for this!

I can't see how some people can compare the Silent Hills with the Resident Evils and Dead Space?

I can't wait, played the dead space demo and found it very boring and not all scary.

What's the chance it will still be pushed back not to compete eith RE5?

It's funny, I'd count Silent Hill as one of my favourite game franchises, but I haven't really enjoyed any since 2001. Still be getting it, though.

I hope SH fans in Europe do get down on this game, I myself am hoping to get it for xmas. I love the SH series just as much as I love RE and Fatal Frame games, because each offer up a new way of horror. (I want a fucking next-gen FF game dammit, that thing scared me more than RE or SH ever did on PS2). That, and SH has stretched out into other genres with it's decent movie, and comic series. Not to mention the soundtracks of SH are far above any other survival-horror games I've played. I'm hoping that when I get it next week, it'll stay true to the SH days I loved.

I was really looking forward to this game back when it got released in America (I didnt realise it wasnt being released here at the same time).

I've kinda just forgotten about it now, but I'll prob pick it up when used copies start to pop up in the shops. And the fact that the developer wont be receiving any profit from that particular sale, is all because of Mr. Konami and his silly delays.

Shodney 1 - Konami 0 :)

don't know if this was mentioned already....

if you invert your Y axis, you're totally screwed with this game. at least thats the case with the US version. there is NO OPTION TO INVERT YOUR Y AXIS!!!! and they've stated publicly they don't plan on patching that issue.

i wont be buying this as im sick and tired of all the dlays gamers in the uk have to put up with it joins rise of the argonauts and destroy all humans which are all on my boycott list because of ridiculous delays so fuck it i will find something better to play

I will definitely buy this game as a big fan of the series, but not sure if I would on the actual release date. As far as RE5 is concerned, I think its a completely different game than Silent Hill. Still I have the money and time to play both games, so chances are I will buy both.

One more thing, I've heard people complaint that Silent Hill Homecoming doesn't have online co-op. Wow! I thought Horror games are supposed to be played alone.
