Silent Hill: Revelation Footage


After the 2006 romp in Silent Hill with Christophe Gans, some fans were left speculating what is going to happen afterwards?  In the video games, after the first game wrapped up and we find out what happens with Harry Mason, we are treated to an acclaimed journey through the mind of James Sunderland before returning to the cult aspect of Silent Hill with Heather Morris. Many were left wondering if the movie franchise would do the same.

With news of Silent Hill: Revelation out and finding out that actress Adelaide Clemens will be playing Heather Mason, Silent Hill: Revelation seems to be following in the echoing footsteps of Silent Hill 3, where teenage Heather slowly uncovers her dark past, travelling back to Silent Hill to confront the cult that had been hounding her and her father.

Prior to Silent Hill, Adelaide Clemens was only primarily seen on the small screen, with her making her feature film debut in X-men Origins: Wolverine. Kit Harington, known for his portrayal of the Stark bastard Jon Snow in HBO’s Game of Thrones, will be taking on the mantle of Vincent – an ambiguous man who helps Heather partially through her journey. Sean Bean, Radha Mitchell, and Deborah Kara Unger all reprise their roles as Christopher Da Silva, Rose Da Silva, and Dahlia Gillespie respectively.

Carrie Anne Moss will be joining the cast as the mysterious Claudia Wolf, with Martin Donovan as Douglas Cartland, and Malcom Mcdowell rounding out the cast as Leonard Wolf.

The footage is a scene revealed during Comic-Con, with the return of the iconic Nurses.

Silent Hill: Revelations 3D is due for an October 26, 2012 release, just before Halloween.

Check out this Behind the Scenes look at Black Ops 2

Treyarch are busily out promoting and preparing for the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, which is of course set to release later this year. With that said, yet another featurette has been released for the game, going into detail about the audio and production that tie into the experience as a whole.

David S. Goyer and Trent Reznor talk about all of that and more in the clip, and a good amount of footage from the game can be seen inbetween. Interestingly enough, Hudson even makes a bit of a cameo within, cementing his inclusion within Black Ops 2. Check out the video below, and stay tuned as there is sure to be even more teases like this while we get closer to the official release date.

Dragon Ball Z Kinect to Feature Anime Episode and Exclusive Character

Dragon Ball Z Kinect doesn’t launch until October 9th, but is still looking rather savory for long-time fans of the franchise. For the first time ever, a Super Saiyan version of Bardock will be available as a playable character for the game.

If that wasn’t enough, the full anime “Episode of Bardock” will be included on the disc, which should make the game worth a look even if you lack the interest in the Kinect gimmickry. With over 50 characters and 100 moves in all, that still should be pretty hard as it seems Namco are trying to make Dragon Ball Z Kinect a game full of fan service, and that factor alone is making it stand above many of the other upcoming Kinect titles this year.

Today you can get a bit of a taste of what Square Enix had to show off for Hitman Absolution as they have released the below trailer which goes over a number of the things that the company had last month as well as how they worked hard to make sure Hitman Absolution had the most exposure possible, though this is a bit ironic as a Hitman would normally want to go unnoticed.

Persona 4 Golden box art finalized

Fans of the Persona 4 series were growing a bit concerned about Atlus’ upcoming release, Persona 4 Golden’s box art because for many months the image shown was simply of the title itself with a simple yellow background. While complaining about a background is frivolous at best, gamers can be quite a picky bunch… especially when it comes to anything related to their favorite JRPGs.

Today Atlus revealed the finalized box art for Persona 4 Golden and it can be seen to the right. Now gamers will know what exactly they will be looking for once the game hits store shelves on October 20th in North America. Seems that the PlayStation Vita is going to be getting a nice influx of games over the next few months, with Persona 4 Golden looking to be one of the highlights.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors coming in September as a digital download

Namco Bandai is preparing its English release of One Piece: Pirate Warriors and they have now announced the game’s release date. Unfortunately for those of you who would have wanted a physical copy, the North American release will be a digital download only when it is released on September 25th.

It is worth noting that the voice actors from the Japanese version of the show have been untouched and English subtitles have bee placed into the game. This may contribute to the fact that the title is a digital release only, though it is worth noting that any gamers in North America who really want a physical copy of the game can always import the physical release in Europe…
