Silent Hill V dated for September, renamed 'Homecoming'

by Richard Mitchell { Apr 21st 2008 at 2:45PM }

We're going to join Joystiq in a little speculation here. Okay, first, the details. One, Silent Hill V has been renamed Silent Hill: Homecoming. Joystiq speculates that this name change has been made to distinguish the latest entry from the series proper because it's being developed by The Collective rather than Konami. We would add that it's also possible that Konami wants to distinguish Silent Hill V from the two other survival horror games that happen to be the fifth installments in their respective series.

Two, Silent Hill: Homecoming is set to arrive in September ... in Europe. We're going to side with Joystiq on this one and assume that it should arrive in North America at around the same time. Dare we allow ourselves to get excited?

Silent Hill= the scariest game ever, in my book. Can't wait for this one, hope the US devs do a good job.

Awesometastic!
i have been waiting for this game for a long time.

I too cannot wait for this one...

But, srsly, "Homecoming"? What about "Silent Hill 6: Senior Prom"? The title falls a bit short of instilling the jaded, hopeless darkness and pit-of-stomach fear that the contents will hopefully carry forth.

@Neuromancer

I would argue that, Silent Hill is definitely one of the scariest franchises around, BUT the original Condemned in my opinion would be the scariest game as of right now. It's the only game that I had to actually put down after awhile.

I think Silent Hill 2 is one of my favorite games of all time and the one that the movie should have been modeled after.

Of COURSE it's September. God forbid something like the summer gets a release. I forgot,game developers only have 4 months in the year to release games. I mean,the 3 months teens and people are home in the summer,who wants to spend their extra time playing games then? Crazy people,that's who.

First TNA Impact was delayed (again) until September and this gets a September release date as well. God fucking forbid 8 other months exist.
