New Silent Hill game in the works for PS3 and 360

[Pseudosapien]

So aparrently, there is a new SH being concieved twixt possibly somewhat crunchy sheets frequented by yet another different dev team ,

"At Konami's press event last night in San Francisco, the company closed the show with a brief glimpse at the next Silent Hill game. The short trailer was light on specifics: a blonde man sits on the edge of a bed holding his head in his hands. The world around him morphs into a dark, deserted road in front of a dilapidated gate. The man hears a sound, turns, sees nothing, then gets attacked by something from the darkness when he turns back. "

"And, well, there definitely won't be any music from long time series composer, Akira Yamaoka, but you already knew that. "

People seem to be saying that it smells a little like a Silent Hill 2 remake/reimagining, but really it is too early to tell and having a similar looking protagonist dun't mean shiet yo.
I personally hope they stay the hell away from doing such a thing, but I shall admit my bias as SH2 is my favorite and well, some of the recent additions to the series do not exactly fill me with confidence. BUT, we shall see in time how this pans out. For now let us merely brace ourselves for the next niblet of news.
I am both intrigued and terrified about this in equal measure right now if I am honest. XD

"More to come at E3."

Definetly looking forward to this, I don't consider Shattered Memories a valid entry in the series (although I liked it quite some but it was just ... I don't know, felt like an expansion pack rather than a full fledged game) and Homecoming left me with a sour taste in my mouth although it really was a great game just not the SH I expected.

New devs again? C'mon, has SH become such a trollop now to go from hands to hands? Or maybe they're just looking for someone to actually nail a good horror experience down? Certainly hope for the later.

Well, Vatra Games means Fire Games.

Back to The Great Silent Hill Fire? :3

I think it's because Konami recognizes that the SH franchise is pretty much all based on a rabid fanbase that has high expectations.

It's not Resident Evil. Everyone knows/plays Resident Evil. Silent Hill is something quite unique and special.

That was always pretty much one of the first things Climax, Double Helix and Gans said about Silent Hill.

They all respected the franchise quite highly and knew it was all the fans that made Silent Hill go round.

Not that they all did a perfect job by any means. But as far as I'm concerned they all put together a solid effort.

I'm sure when interviews come out with people from Vatra, they'll say that too.

Does anybody have a link to the trailer mentioned here, or have I gone and missed a game being released in the last few months?
