Konami’s Gamers Night 2010 presentation concluded with a nice surprise: A teaser trailer for what could only be a new Silent Hill game. Well, maybe not entirely new.
In the footage, which appeared to be an in-engine recording of gameplay from one or both of the current HD consoles, a male character resembling James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2 awoke from a public bench and began wandering the foggy, deserted streets of a suburban neighborhood. While the game’s title was not revealed, given the recent revisiting of the original Silent Hill in Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, a remake of the second game in the series doesn’t seem too far-fetched.
The teaser ended with the tagline: “End the Silence” and “E3.” We suspect the weather report for Los Angeles in the third week of June will call for sunny with a chance of terrifying fog!
I hope this isn’t some kind of cocktease like what Square-Enix did when they tried to showcase the ‘power’ of the PS3, and they recreated the opening scene to Final Fantasy VII, but then squashed numerous rumors about a remake.
Oh, and in case any die hard fan is worried, the wayward Akira Yamaoke had confirmed that he’d create music for Silent Hill in the future if they would want him to.

Hopefully this game will have combat; I don’t mind running from large pink things, but I’d like to turn around and give one of them a smack with a mallet.
