Silent Hill Downpour: Screenshots and Info

Misery Hill Gets Wet

Silent Hill: Downpour is almost upon us, so let's just get right into it. The game will be released on October 25 2011 for XBox 360 and Playstation 3. Asides from the release date we also have a look into the story of the latest installment of the hit Silent Hill Series.

The Story:

Murphy Pendleton has been incarcerated for several years, having had his sentence extended once already. Due to his history at Ryall State Prison, he is being transferred to nearby Wayside Maximum Security Penitentiary—but a freak accident cuts the journey short.

Waking up in a forest next to the wrecked bus, Murphy has a clear shot at freedom. He makes his way into the sleepy town of Silent Hill where mysterious locals welcome him into a slowly developing personal hell.

You know I was curious how long it was going to take before the protagonist was an actual criminal and not just someone with a heavily guilty conscious. This will be the first Survival Horror opus of Konami's Silent Hill on the Playstation 3, so it's bound to be dreary, dreadful, haunting and beautiful. So far it all looks quite good, but don't just take my word for it - check out the wonderful screenshots below:
