On November 6, 2008, the anticipated new installment for the Silent Hill franchise, titled Homecoming, was released for direct download on the STEAM servers.
Silent Hill: Homecoming is the fifth game to take place directly in the Silent Hill lands of the Toluca Lake area where the little foggy vision of hell on earth resides. Taking a strong turn towards Jacob’s Ladder, it follows an injured veteran through his returning home to find that his brother disappeared. Haunted by the real demons of Silent Hill and the demons of his past deeds in war, he stumbles into a sanity stealing problem as his grip on reality slips away.
The game promises to go deeper into the troubled past of Silent Hill and its surrounding area. With the next-gen graphics, things should look even more frightening than the previous chapters.
One of the things shown at various gaming conventions that should intrigue the gamers is the that you will be able to see, in real-time, the real world shift to the Hell-world state. Also, if they actually followed through with the promise for the controls, the game will offer some of the best and most responsive controls the franchise has had to date.
The system requirements are for some of the beefier machines though. This is all according to what is listed on the Homecoming page in the STEAM store. The requirements are XP or Vista for the Operating System, Dual core CPU such as Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 or AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ for the processor, 1 GB RAM (for XP) or 2 GB RAM (for Vista), a DirectX 9.0c compliant video card such as ATI Radeon HD-series graphics card (minimum 256 MB) or NVIDIA GeForce 7800-series graphics card (minimum 256 MB), a DirectX®: 9.0c compatible sound card, and 10 GB free for hard drive space. The supported controllers are keyboard and mouse or Xbox 360 controller.
For those who buy and download before November 10, 2008, there will be a 10 percent discount. This cuts down the original $49.99 price down to $44.99 for these couple of days. Enjoy the horror and madness that is Silent Hill. With the holidays coming up this might be the perfect STEAM gift for that horror junkie and PC gamer in your life.
