Silent Hill 8 gets a few more details

True horror fans rejoice, the Silent Hill series may be returning to it’s roots. In a sit down interview with Czech gaming site Doupe, Silent Hill 8’s lead designer Mark Berka stated that the game is being designed with Silent Hill 2 in mind. Silent Hill 2 has been heralded as the best of the Silent Hill franchise, while the previous iterations of the game may have been more action packed, but overall didn’t feel like your standard survival horror game.

Another tidbit is that there will be no influence from the Silent Hill movie on the game itself. Instead, the developing team has enlisted the help from key members of the series though who they were was not stated. But being as Silent Hill 8 will be modeled after the second game, the best conclusion to come to can be those that also worked on that game.

With few games taking a chance at survival horror, Silent Hill 8 will take a different twist on the horror aspect. Instead it will follow escaped convict Murphy Pendleton’s journey through Silent Hill. Rather than having military experience like Silent Hill: Homecoming, Murphy has a deep background and depth to his character which will create psychological issues throughout his journey.

No news on a release date though from the interview, but it is great news to hear that the series is returning to it’s horror filled roots.

Sega has confirmed today that they are working on Captain America: Super Solider that is due in 2011 along with the feature film that is due for release next year. Marvel has also partnered with Sega for their Thor adaptation, so it is no surprise that they went with Sega again for Captain America. The developing team is Next Level Games, famous for Punch Out!! And Spider Man: Friend or Foe. Not only will the movie be hitting the silver screen, the game will be playable for practically every system; the PS3, 360, Wii, PSP, and DS.

The storyline for the game will be written by Christos Gage and will take place within the same world that the movie does. Christos Gage wrote Marvel’s Avenger: The Initiative, Civil War: House of M, and many other different titles so expect a true to comic book fashion storyline.

The game itself is planned on being a third person action game during World War II. During the war Captain America will be doing battle against Red Skull within a castle that has been converted into a Hydra Base. According to Sega the game will have “highly athletic combat system with fluid platforming and a highly tuned suite of shield attacks taking out multiple enemies at once, deflecting incoming fire back at enemies, solving puzzles, and scaling walls.”

With the move across seas, Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage has been able to receive an upgrade in the violence department. There are also a couple other features besides extra blood however, as the updated version has English/Japanese voice acting, different enemies to fight in a level, better bike controls, and even a new stage to play.

Thankfully though Tecmo Koei isn’t forgetting it’s roots and is also releasing an International edition in Japan which will include all the different additions the game is receiving overseas. Releasing November 2nd expect to see tons more gore from the various screenshots we’ve already seen, because those are primarily from the Japanese release and as we now know, it has been stepped up for the American version. Exploding bodies will be everywhere….

My brother-in-law is always talking about this new fangled phone, the iPhone.  Have you heard of it? Apparently, it is an iPod AND a phone!  Well today I get to tell him that a game is coming from the iPhone to the PSP.  The game is called SHIFT extended. This unique puzzle game is a bestseller on the iPhone and will be ported to the Minis side of the Playstation Store for PSP and PS3.  It will be available by the end of the year, and it looks like it will be quite an interesting experience.   If you pick it up on Playstation, it will have more than double the content of the the iPhone version.

Disney’s Epic Mickey already has the attention of the gaming world for providing a very different feel to a very old character. They are trying to grab everyone’s attention now as Junction Point’s Warren Spector and his staff talk about the importance of storytelling and Epic Mickey’s emphasis on the story. The video explains in detail the amount of storytelling that the game has, and the way that the player will be experiencing it.

With Epic Mickey hitting shelves November 25th and 26th in Europe and the 30th for the US, everyone’s expectations are quite high. Hopefully Epic Mickey will be as epic as it appears.

Anxious to be the first person to play the demo of Duke Nukem Forever? Especially now that the game has finally seen the light of day and is confirmed for a release in 2011? Well if you happen to be a fan of Borderlands then now is the time for you to get double the fun with the Game of the Year edition coming out on October 12th.

This is because Gearbox is hoping to include membership to something they call the First Access Club. This club will allow those who join to be the first to download the demo to Duke Nukem Forever before it is available to everyone else. There is no date for the demo’s release, but just know that if you happen to get Borderlands, you will eventually also be getting the demo.

Beyond the Duke Nukem Forever Demo, the First Access Club will supposedly provide members with many different bonus features, though these were not announced. One can speculate special themes, videos, screenshots, and who knows what else.

Borderlands: Game of the Year edition will cost $60 USD and will include all four of the DLC packs that have been released for the game, these include Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, Mad Moxxie’s Underdome Riot, Secret Armory of General Knoxx, and Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution.

Capcom Arcade coming to iPhone

Capcom is releasing some of its classic arcade titles from the days of yore in the form of a downloadable game for the iPhone this November!  This will come in the form of 4 titles (at the start) with new ones released every month. 

The 4 starter titles are Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, Commandos, Street Fighter II and 1942.  What’s so amazing about this announcement is that the games will be totally free…with a catch.  They are free up until your 3rd life, requiring you to buy “tokens” with real money to continue playing, no price point has been given yet on how much these will cost.  You may also purchase the “cabinet” at a higher price to be able to play the game to your hearts content.  Fear not however, as Capcom will be replenishing tokens daily, allowing you to get that small fix if you are just content with that.

At launch, the games will not support online multiplayer or leaderboards, though Capcom says that there will be future updates to add these features.  I must say, this is quite the tempting offer, the ability to play some of Capcom’s iconic arcade titles on your Iphone…for free…with the addition of online sometime in the near future.  Sounds like I need to get myself an iPhone.
