Welcome to Gaia! ::

"A portable entry in the horror franchise, Silent Hill: Book of Memories aims to explore new dimensions of this classic setting with the first multiplayer component in the series.

Silent Hill Book of Memories is the first ever multi-player Silent Hill title. This cooperative mode lets players explore the Otherworlds together, while scare surroundings, limited resources and dark atmosphere keep the tension high."

I think it's an interesting way to approach Silent Hill. I read somewhere that you can customize your character any way you want. (I hope you can make a Lisa Garland look-a-like :O) It probably won't be as scary due to the fact that you will be with a group of people. A major part of the scariness of SH is that you're completely alone. I think the game will be okay.. but time will tell.

I agree with Henry after playing some multiplayer horror games. My only minor concern is the overhead camera. Granted it is a PSVita game but I'll be playing it on my PS3 (once I get a Vita sad ) I only wish people would stop criticizing it just because of one trailer and some screenshots. Those exact same people claim to be true Silent Hill fans but would rather have the franchise bury itself 6 feet under rather then waiting for a true return to it's roots or letting the developers try something new. The thing is, this will probably be the only Silent Hill game like this and people should learn to accept new things.... well except if they are rehashes reimaging your favorite game in the series and making you rage like I did with Shattered Memories. ( I feel like I bring up my annoyance for that game too much. sweatdrop ) But at least I don't butcher it or hate on it like those who claim to call themselves "true" fans on places like youtube do.

And just so nobody asks why I don't like Shattered Memories. It's a good game on it's own but I don't like how they recycled characters from my favorite Silent Hill game into what I believe was a sub-par story for Silent Hill.

I also agree with Henry, but the problem is that with multiplayer survival horror it will only ever go 2 ways, either as Henry described it or it turns into a terrible war game type thing where all that you have is idiots 'trolling' and not letting the game be scary (ruining it for new players and old). Fingers crossed it goes well though.

The only problem I have with this is either A) they would have to create fortune cookie style monsters, or basically monsters who appeal to broad catagories of "psyches" or B) They need to to team up with Spore so millions of random monster parts are accesible to the game console to be built in random formation based on your psyche.... which would only take up approx. 119 GB of a 120 GB ps3.... worth the sacrifice I think rolleyes
