The Siren series is quite similar to that of "Silent Hill." I swear my twin sister is OBSESSED with anything Silent Hill. The game really gets to you. In Silent Hill 2, you will be stuck in a Water well (until you notice a crack in the wall), you will also be locked into a room with bugs EVERYWHERE.

Siren is a new concept, new stories, and I highly believe, a game worthy of crapping your pants! :D

I think the Music in this trailer got a grip on my brain :D!
Amazing music. And the characters are very frightening. I sure as hell wouldn't want an "infected" Nurse RUNNING AT ME with a knife and a screwed up face, all that in a dark environment. Ahhh!

Beautiful!

but now this game has my interest.

I'd like to try it out though, I love scary games and any silent hill beyond Silent Hill 2 was just not doing it for me. It's like they brought out the best in the series and spent the rest of the time/sequels trying to match that success.

Not trying to say that they weren't good games, but well you know.

I wonder whether this game is in japanese with english subs, if so, you can have my money.

I may actually give this game a 2nd go if they improve on the original. Now gimme a SotC remake Sony!

@boopadoo:
RE and SH games are as similar as Sonic the Hedgehog and Super Mario Bros.

kingofallcosmos

ahem.... games
They are lovingly crafted and tons of work have gone into them, but they appeal to me as much as watching
the American Girls Playhouse version of Takashi Miike's Audition
... on second thought that sounds damned good...

... hate is probably a strong word...but yes.. and I do love silent hill...

I'll have to hold any judgment until we get to see some more media.

I am looking forward to this game, it's now a must buy for me. Thanks for posting this trailer.

Sure, SH had realtime environments before RE:CV, but it was the same "survival horror" experience. It's like they were sharing notes or something. Sorry if I pooped on your babies, but I have those two franchises in the same box...with Silent Hill 3 on the top of the stack.

boopadoo

Nice to see that I wasn't the only one disappointed with Siren.

@boopadoo: - "If you want a Silent Hill experience, then go play Silent Hill (heck, go get Resident Evil while you're at it)!"

Silent Hill and Resident Evil are 2 very different games.

dead_red_eyes

I never played Siren, but it looks like I'm going to have to.

That trailer had a gorgeous vocal score - and stunningly good English voice acting.

I know someone picked on that above, and I'm usually the first one to call out on English voice acting - the only times I've ever been satisfied with English dubs, being for Final Fantasy XII and Princess Mononoke - but that was surprisingly good.

Which confuses me - this is a preview for the Japanese release, isn't it? I mean, the Japanese version was just released in Famitsu I thought - so why are their English voices? The last one was set in Japan, right? Is this one set in America and the game is getting an English dialog track with Japanese subtitles? Or are they just way ahead with the English language track this time?

It adds to the experience to not just be able to blow away your enemies and move on and the super dark screen (which can always be fixed with a quick adjustment of your tv if you're a wimp) makes it an even more hellish experience.

i'm sick and tired of everyone bashing the series because of the trial and error aspect or the clunky controls or simply because its too hard. if you sit down and play through it, i'll bet you'll find its a great game. i can only imagine that anything wrong with the first 2 games was fleshed out with this one. and so what if there's some american, as a black person, i always love seeing a black guy in a game thats not some sort of gun totting gangsta!

Bloody hell. They get a chance to right the wrongs, fix up the game and give it another shot, and they commit the same mistakes the second time around. Very disappointing.

If you want a Silent Hill experience, then go play Silent Hill (heck, go get Resident Evil while you're at it)!

*sob* Leave Siren ALONE!

boopadoo

I played the first one to death....unlocking every scenario of every character....and I don't remember Nathan Drake being in the game.

It looks as if they are going to be taking some HUGE liberities with this "remake." Don't know how I feel about the presense of an American film crew in my Japanese-oriented game.

Hopefully:

1.) America get's Siren 2
2.) The new Siren comes out in the States.

Thankfully I didn't hear people's qualms with the game and was just allowed to fully experience it on my own - and that really helped make the game one of my best gaming experiences ever. The story was fascinating, and I was GOOD at not getting caught. It was scary and intriguing to me. Also, one of the best parts was that there was a whole series of fake websites set up for the game online that I delved into during my time with it.

I'm just so glad they decided to stick with it this long.

Only problem I see with this one is the dumbing down of characters etc. to Americanos, which was probably the result of:

"American's won't buy our game with Japanese characters and situations - lets make them American!"

Anyhow, looking forward to it regardless. Also, the Silent Hill siren etc., most people don't seem to realise that the creator of Silent Hill moved on to create the Siren series when he was done with the first SH game.

The psychological horror factor is more in line with Silent Hill 1 but more intense. For those interested, Siren is created by Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama. He left Konami for SCEI in 2000, so he never had the chance to work on Silent Hill 2.

I don't know.... I wasn't all that creep'd out. The only thing I'm wondering is.... what/who was the nurse pushing in the chair?

Me and a mate had to play the two Siren games tag-team.

Games like this are why I got a PS3, I actually have the PS2 version but never played it.....somehow never got around to it.

I can see how some people would enjoy that sort of challenge, but, for me, it destroyed all the tension. It turned into -- ok, walk this way 5 feet. Ok, I'm spotted. Dead. Go this way 3 feet, turn right, go 10 feet. I'm spotted. Dead. Repeat, add on a little distance, die, repeat.

I'll give this one a chance, but what I'm hoping for is: 1) Multiple ways to complete a map; 2) A way to survive if you're spotted; 3)A better way to get your bearings in the game.

Anyway, this looks cool! Hopefully it comes out in America very shortly after Japan, I mean... it seems to be in English already!

Many of the scenarios I played were of the 'get from point A to point B' variety. But of course, while you have a map, you aren't given an indicator of your position on it, so its fairly worthless.

'Oh, I'll just turn my flashlight on and find my way, I don't need a map!' Welp can't do that either since you alert every stupid shibito on earth to your position and it's pretty much game over from there since combat is pretty much non-existant, making that approach worthless.

So what you're left with is inching blindly around an area hoping a shibito patrolling doesn't notice you (you have no realiable way to hide either), and don't go into any open areas, because somehow these goddamned ZOMBIES are expert snipers who can see you from a mile away, which is probably the game killing flaw.

I loved the style and the dreamlike way they rendered characters' faces with short clips of blended video... the story may have been interesting had I made it more than 3 or 4 scenarios in.

I can appreciate that they maybe intended to make you fear your enemy by making them more dangerous and aware than you are and making them practically unattackable at times, but the controls and movement, not to mention your options for survival in general are not suited to a game with the odds stacked so heavily against you.

HOPEFULLY they've learned how to make this game actually fun and give the player the proper means to navigate and sneak through the game without forcing them to watch a shibito slowly patrolling through their eyes (a gimmick which got old quickly, btw) for 10 minutes until they're ABSOLUTELY certain that the shibito's incredibly good vision isn't detecting them as they attempt to cross the street.

Please fix Sony, want to like. =[
