. The Story of a Grim Homecoming
Homecoming's story follows the nightmare turned real life of Alex
Shepherd, a war veteran returning to his hometown of Shepherd's
Glen to investigate the sudden disappearance of his kid brother,
Josh. From Shepherd's Glen to the foggy streets of dreaded Silent
Hill, Alex must face the darkest of horrors in order to find his
brother. Struggling with his own grip on reality, it's here that
Alex must unravel the mystery behind his nightmares, discover the
truth behind his brother's disappearance, and confront the evil
that takes hold of his own and blood in the process.
Improved Gameplay
Firmly steeped in the Survival-Horror genre its series has been
pivotal in establishing, action in Homecoming remains based on
exploration of the terrors residing in the communities
surrounding Toluca lake and puzzle-solving skill as a means of
surviving them. But to its credit game developer Double Helix
refuses to rest on past laurels, choosing instead to include new
more accessible gameplay in the hopes of gaining a new audience
for Homecoming. Examples of this gameplay include:
Next-Gen Visual and Spatial Features - Every sequel seeks
reinvent the namesake game in their series. Homecoming does this
in three ways, by adding the ability to toggle between a
traditional third-person view and an action-oriented first-person
view; by adding fully 3-D physics to the game, creating a
realistic range of motion for any and all objects impacted by the
player; and by adding transitions or "Hell States" that alter the
game's physical landscape at points in the game both in real-time
and via cinematics. All three actively change the way players see
themselves and in the process create a whole new game experience.
An Enhanced Combat System - Adding to the standard knives, axes,
pipes and other melee weapons that made up the arsenal of
previous Silent Hill games, Homecoming adds a wide variety of
s and explosives. Fitting with the back-story of
protagonist Alex Shephard, these weapons can be wielded in
attacks weighted as weak or strong and can be strung together in
combos to stun or incapacitate nents, who can then be taken
out with powerful finishing moves. With practice players can even
perform evasive ducks and rolls and follow these up with
counterattacks. But remember that enemy AI has also been
significantly improved to compensate for your higher degree of
combat prowess, and that it's not uncommon to battle multiple
monsters simultaneously.
Key Features:
* Enter the next chapter of Silent Hill as you delve deeper in
the tormented history of the town and learn of the evil that
surrounds Toluca Lake.
* Silent Hill: Homecoming is the 1st Silent Hill game designed
for PlayStation 3.
* From the murky fog to the ominous shadows, all-new next-gen
graphics bring Silent Hill to life like never before.
* Survive the denizens of Silent Hill with an all-new enhanced
combat system that gives you a wide array of attacks and
counters.
* Solve the treacherous and deadly puzzles of Silent Hill to
discover its darkest secrets.
* Silent Hill: Homecoming will feature an all-new soundtrack by
accled series composer Akira Yamaoka.
Exceptional Replay Value
Although Alex Shepherd is the only playable character in Silent
Hill: Homecoming there are many other important characters--some
returning from earlier games in the series--that can have a
dramatic impact on the game. When interacting with these, players
are given a choice in how to proceed via dialog trees. Will you
take the short route letting only the search for your brother
guide you or will you explore the nooks and crannies that make up
the mystery of Silent Hill hidden in the small talk you share
with non-playable characters? The choice is yours, with different
paths providing for possible alternate endings each time you
delve into the game.A Frighteningly Masterful Soundtrack
All games in the Survival-Horror genre seek to create tension and
unease through sound and Homecoming does this masterfully through
the compositions and sound engineering of Akira Yamaoka. Having
scored the music and effects for dozens of video game titles,
including all of the previous games in the Silent Hill series,
Yamaoka is considered a master at using sound to illicit a
response.
