Absolutely one of the best and funniest presentations I’ve seen, Konami provided a pre-E3 showing that was informative and innovative while showing off a number of upcoming titles. I’m absolutely grabbing that Metal Gear Solid HD collection, the Silent Hill HD collection, NeverDead and a few other games. Kojima’s got a great sense of humor as you’ll see, but his “Transfarring” idea is one of the best uses of PSp/NGP and PS3 connectivity to date. Amusingly enough, I’d thought of this when the PSP was announced, but I don’t make games. Still, why Sony didn’t do this (or think of it) is a bit odd. Nevertheless, it’s a phenomenal idea I can see other publishers jumping on, particularly in this day and age of people whining about games being too short or not getting enough value out of that sixty bucks. Anyway, go watch the video and enjoy the cool surprise at the end…

Konami has released the first batch of six Silent Hill: Downpour screens as well as a single, short and nicely creepy music track from Dexter composer Daniel Licht. According to the press release, this newest installment developed by Vatra (the awesomely fun Rush ‘N Attack – Ex-Patriot)…
starts as Murphy Pendleton, the game’s main character, finds himself lost and alone in the woods after his prison transport bus crashes near the town of Silent Hill. What happens after is up to the player as they traverse an all-new Silent Hill environment that is expansive, yet claustrophobic. And though this sleepy town may feel desolate, the player is never truly alone.
OK, I’m in. hell, I’ve been a Silent Hill nut since the first game, so I’m ALWAYS in. The game ships this fall for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Back with updates as they come in.
