(Please do not make titles that look like this - FIRST SILENT HILL 5 GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE RELEASED!!!!!!!!11 - Grey Snake)

Just like your classic Silent Hill critter, Konami's US-based development studio came out of the dark to reveal a few details on Silent Hill 5. They discussed a few things with 1UP in the video, and we loved every single bit.

Despite being in the hands of western developers this time around, the next installment to Resident Evil's biggest contender in survival-horror space seems to follow the graphical style of its predecessors. As the devs said, the setting they created should be familiar to fans while still hospitable enough to newcomers.

The protagonist is now more capable than a random pedestrian. As a former soldier, Alex Shephard's got more moves to fend freaky creatures off. To make up for it, Konami made sure that enemies live up to the challenge. Players can now do light and heavy attacks, dodge, counterattack, and use firearms proficiently, but a couple of hits can drop the dude to the ground.

To find more about Silent Hill 5 from the developers themselves, check out the video below.

Like seriously Silent Hill V is looking sooooo hot!!! I cant wait to get it! But to be totally honest, i still think Resident Evil 5 looks more hardcore at the moment, but things may change. Regardless, i will be buying both

09/09/2007 PERTH

Cherrona says:

lol I'll be buying both too, Chimeraguy (or should I just call you Katie?). Even if I haven't got a PS3 by the time they're released, I'll still be getting both.

Chimeraguy says:

You can call me which ever Cherrona Yeah totally just buy both anyway because when you do get the Playstation 3 you wont have to worry about buying any games with it as you will already have some & some hardcore ones at that too

Melad136 says:

hey chimera u seen the resident evil 5 trailer? looks soooo badass see the part where he punches the zombie in the face oh thats kool lol

09/09/2007 Sydney

Cherrona says:

lol But the problem with buying both is that I wouldn't know which to play first (I'm guessing that I won't have a PS3 anytime soon ).
No wait, I'd definitely have to play Silent Hill 5 first. Zombies can wait, but the madness that is Silent Hill can't.

Chimeraguy says:

Yes Melad babe i did see the Resident Evil 5 trailer hun & soooooooo loved it I still dont think any other game looks as good. I want more than just to punch zombies faces in, i want to stomp their heads off, chainsaw them in half & so on. Real hardcore stuff Yes i agree Cherrona it will be sooooooo hard choosing whcih to play first, just toss a coin maybe

09/09/2007 PERTH

Cherrona says:

lol I love Resident Evil (RE2 was the very first PSone game I ever played ), but I love Silent Hill more. I sometimes even dream of Silent Hill. Oh wait, I think to some people that might be a bad thing..... lol Oh well. lol

Chimeraguy says:

F*** no sister, dreaming about Silent Hill is no bad thing If anything its totally neato! I dream about getting spanked by rotting male nurses & that is no bad thing hahaha! On Resident Evil, i only own Resident Evil 4 which is hardcore but i like really want the other Playstation 1 Resident Evil games

09/09/2007 PERTH

Cherrona says:

lol I don't dream of being attacked or spanked, Katie. I'm in charge of the madness in my dreams. lol So comfy and cozy though. lol
