So...It's Diablo then eh?

[Scream]

First impression is Outbreak.. that's a good thing..

[Darkmoon]

I find this intriguing. Shame it looks like it's a Vita only game. Still, I'd be interested to see how this works...part of Silent Hill has always been stuck, alone, with only certifiable crazy for company. Even in 4's escort missions the crazy comes through.

[Wrathborne]

Wow...I just saw a new video of the game...Its a 100% Diablo clone.

[Mr_Zombie]

Silent Hill as a multiplayer shooter with custom creater characters. And isometric view.
Why? :uhh:

[Wrathborne]

Diablo 3....Diablo 3....

I just saw the video, it made me die inside :nervous:

[Summoner]

It's a Vita game, what did you expect? They're doing the same thing Nintendo have done with the 3DS. Gimmicks to make people go "ooh!"

I get the feeling this game will be terrible. Funny, that...

I actually thought they were out of their mind when I saw the title of this thread.
I actually endorse this. I look forward to seeing what they do with it, I love the idea, and the look of it too.

Me too! LOVE the isometric view, it's so refreshing to have some semblence of peripheral vision in a game in regards to where your character is. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Heero Yui]

Well that would be 3 of us! I LOVE how this is looking! I so dig the idea of playing this with my pals! Solving puzzles and fighting for survival with this awesome isometric view! I WILL be buying! :D

Diablo = RPG
This doesn't look anything even remotely similar to Diablo.

As far as I'm concerned, the only multiplayer Silent Hill experience should be one person playing the game while others watch.. This game is a disgrace to everything that makes Silent Hill, Silent Hill... Way to sell out Konami! :D...

What if they did one in the style of RE Outbreak or RE Deadly Silence?

[Darkmoon]

Part of the terror of Silent Hill is being alone. Resident Evil had the same thing, but obviously that changed. in Silent Hill, at best, you're escorting a crazy person and making sure they don't die horribly. You can't rely on anyone but yourself. An Outbreak style game would loose a lot of the impact of that, and generally not make as much sense since most people are called to the town for there own unique reason.

Still, it's possible Konami can make this work. The more I consider, the less likely I think that is, but it is possible.

At least on the 3DS you can completely turn off the "gimmick" and play games without the 3D effect.

Yet with this game, the "gimmicky" elements always stay on (maybe not the online part) :lol:
