The game I've been writing for the last year will be announced today!

[PJoseph]

Let's see if anyone figures out what it is!

A hint - it's part of a big franchise.

pJ

[bassman]

Why not just tell us the name?:rockbrow:

[Danny]

halo 3 or smash bro.s brawl is my guess.

[PJoseph]

I can't say because it's one of the surprise titles - although I suppose it's been rumored.

pJ

[MinionZombie]

*racks brains ... brains fall out leaving no answers*

Dangit! :eek:

[capncnut]

Shenmue motherf**kin' 3???

(Erm, what dickhead here keeps enabling/disabling capital letters?)

[Danny]

I can't say because it's one of the surprise titles - although I suppose it's been rumored.

pJ

wait. so your asking us to guess somethign btu wont tell us if we guess it right?:rockbrow:

[PJoseph]

It's more of a "hey, I'll be announcing it soon, so watch out" as I can't say anything until it's officially announced and I don't know what time that will be.

I thought I would just give you the heads up because I'm really excited about it.

pJ

Here's a little updated hint for you -

http://www.joystiq.com/2007/07/11/konami-sends-mysterious-e3-poem/

pJ

[capncnut]

Erm, Metal Gear Solid 4 has already been announced...

[MinionZombie]

I'm still none-the-wiser. Either I'm a moron or PJ is one cryptic mutha...I vote for the latter. :D

[capncnut]

It's obviously Metal Gear 4 on the 360, or if the hint was developer related only then who knows... Silent Hill 5? (can hear Hellz spurt all the way from London :D)

If it's MGS4 then it's not exactly hot news 'cos some guy from Konami accidentally let it slip that it was coming to the 360 about half a year ago.

[PJoseph]

Metal Gear Solid 4 was already announced.

pJ

[capncnut]

So it aint MGS4 and it's not announced. Right lads, Konami thinking caps on...

[PJoseph]

Or you can wait six hours :)

pJ

[capncnut]

Or you can wait six hours :)
Hey, you're the one who asked us to figure it out! I'll be drunk/asleep in six hours... :D

[PJoseph]

I suppose I did! Maybe I just like cause trouble!!! Actually, I didn't know they would wait until the end of the day, but what can you do.

Okay, that's all I got for you now.

pJ

[MinionZombie]

Ah mate, gonna have to wait till tomorrow morning now when I've woken up, dangit! :rolleyes::p

[Cody]

I Want To Know Too!!!

[darth los]

With all this build up it better be something good.

[mista_mo]

Watch it be a new pokemon game or something liee dat.

[MikePizzoff]

I'm going to say either Silent Hill or Castlevania.

[darth los]

Watch it be a new pokemon game or something liee dat.

LMFAO!! :lol: :lol:

[PJoseph]

Definitely NOT Pokeman. :)

pJ

[mista_mo]

i dunno...

maybe digimon or harry potter.

one of the 3.

[PJoseph]

Not one of those either. It was just announced.

pJ

[CoinReturn]

Silent Hill 5?

[darth los]

With all due respect this is getting silly. Why don't you just tell us or atleast let us know where we can find it since it's already been announced?

[PJoseph]

That is the one!

pJ

[MikePizzoff]

WTF? The only news on Konami's site from tonight is that they showed the Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer at E3 today. This game has been announced forever. Have they just not updated yet or is this the game you were talking about?

EDIT: Found it. Silent Hill V!!!

Dude stop playing!! Where the hell is it !?!

[PJoseph]

The teaser doesn't show anything. (Hey, I got nothing to do with promotions!) But I can tell you that the game is going to be sweet. Pretty freaking crazy $hit.

pJ

[mista_mo]

4 sucked cock.

[darth los]

4 sucked cock.

it was the worst in the series imo. Some people swear by it though.

[mista_mo]

2 was my fav. 1 i never played, 3 was okay (scary as ****) and 4 was just...dull..and the ghosts...goddamn i hated those.

[PJoseph]

I've become very familiar with all of them!

*drops to the floor, foams at mouth and is found in the same spot the next morning by family waking up*

PLUS- *after a time delay capn goes to grab some milk out the fridge adn drops it when he hears the sound of someone spitting there dr.pepper on there pc screen*:lol:

-anyone for screenshots? http://www.shacknews.com/screenshots.x?gallery=7796&game_id=4452&id=101234

[MikePizzoff]

PJ - Hook us up with the teaser!!!

[Danny]

[darth los]

pFGl-t2iiMo

WOW !! that told me absolutely nothing.

[Danny]

wait, writing for, not waiting for?

damn man, really?, woking with akira yamoaka would rock, hes my favourite composer, in music in general not just games.

[MikePizzoff]

Here's a far better trailer... this one actually gave me the chills...

oMw5D5wi_a0

[mista_mo]

like usual, that as one of the most screwed up things i have ever seen...thats why i like silent hill so much tho :)

[PJoseph]

Regarding the teaser - yes, it's not very revealing. The EGM coming out in a few months will shed some more light on the game.

If you want to read some official press release from Konami, here it is!

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (shots of house, city, mountains, planet earth, the universe with my scream echoing.)

[Danny]

wats machinima?

animation done using only a machine, think red vs blue.

[mista_mo]

red vs blue is that halo thing right?

[Danny]

yes, and before mz says it "google is your freind".


- but id like to put a little tweest on that (but not in the "google is actually a metaphor for purgatory" shamaylan way), that WIKIPEDIA is your freind;)

[mista_mo]

no...

super saiyen vegeta is my friend...

i saw some of the eps before and they were pretty damn good...specially the one about the halo 3 beta heh

[MinionZombie]

Damn PJ, excellent stuff!

I've never been a Silent Hill person myself, but I don't really like playing survival horror games, I just don't dig the playing style, but I appreciate them. So two thumbs fresh for PJ! :) :thumbsup:

[capncnut]

I gotta be honest, that trailer was crap. In fact, it's not even a trailer because it gives nothing away.

But I'm still looking forward to Silent Hill 5. The screenshots on the other page look red hot and it's gonna be cool to finally play the first official 'next gen' (or current gen) installment of the series.

Keep us updated PJ. :cool:

[darth los]

Damn PJ, excellent stuff!

playing survival horror games

DON'T LET HELLS HEAR YOU SAY THAT !!! :eek: :lol:

[Danny]

aye im shaking my head ini dissapointment.:skull:

[MinionZombie]

aye im shaking my head ini dissapointment.:skull:
Isn't that what that sort of game is called though? What would you call it otherwise? :rockbrow:

The aim is to survive some horror...survival horror. :lol::p

[darth los]

He likes to call it "psychological horror." :D Yes there's aparently a diference which he has detailed in the silent hill to psp thread.

[MinionZombie]

So what would hellsing class as "survival horror", what sort of - to him - game would that be? :confused:

[darth los]

I guess you'll have to ask him about that one but i'd guess that resident evil would qualify.

[MinionZombie]

Well if Resident Evil qualifies, then surely Silent Hill does?! :lol:

It's the same style of game, regardless of psychological impact.

*senses hellsing stomping in after spoodging over Guitar Hero 3 deets online ... scurries off behind a sofa* :lol:

[darth los]

Don't know if these details have been posted before or if you guys have seen this already.

At last !! We agree on something in this thread !! :thumbsup: I too find it odd that someone who loves zombies and gore so much hasn't indulged themselves in 2 of the best franchises around whenit comes to things like that.

[Danny]

hence the bobblehead-shakyness.

Damn you brits.:mad: Only you guys get to use words like hence and still sound fooking cool. :thumbsup:

[Danny]

that we do, a few others i prefer are:

bollox
bloody hell fire
****in' nora
"tight as a camels arse in a sandstorm"
and "it shat me right up"
oh and bugger, thats a general all purpose curseword though.;)

What does bollox mean anyway? I have an idea but i heard it used a ton in v for vendetta.

[Danny]

balls
nuts
cajone's
the ole' tenis ball/tubesock combo

TESTICLES!:lol:

[MinionZombie]

I don't play survival horror games as I don't dig their physical construction, the camera position is annoying, running up and down pre-set-camera-angled corridors, meh.

I've played some Resi in my time, just not my sort of game, purely down to style, rather than content. I played about half of Cold Fear, I just had to keep him locked in over-the-shoulder-gun-mode to navigate around, anything else was piss-annoying.

Gimme third or first person - that's what I want! :cool:

That's a commen complaint among those who are not totally in love with the series.Others are the inventoy, save systems and item boxes, which as you can see were remedies with the last installment. I look for some improvements along those lines to happen in sh5 as well. While that's sure to anger some purists it is for the overall benefit of the game as it will appeal to more people.

[MinionZombie]

Yeah, the inventory/save system thing also bugged the piss out of me too.

[darth los]

Yeah, the inventory/save system thing also bugged the piss out of me too.

They used to call those the magic boxes (my ex girlfriend had one of those) :elol: Seriously, how are you going to put an item in a box in one end of the mansion and have it miraculously appear in a box on the opposite side of the house? I know this is sci fi and all but that's pushing it. And what the hell does a typwriter and ribbon have to do with saving progress?

[Danny]

thats why i liked the very underrated resi 0, just drop an item on the floor, and it stays there, get this, UNTIL YOU GO BACK TO PICK IT UP!

truly we have entered an age of unparraleld virtual reality:rolleyes: :lol:

[capncnut]

A lot of folks thought it was problematic to leave stuff but I found it more logical. Is it underrated? Everyone I know thinks RE0 is the shiznit!

[Danny]

in all the major survival horror forums its considered lower than alone in the dark 4, though i liked that too so no accounting for taste huh?.
i think of lot of people jsut hated the plot ,especially the ending "oh so i explored a monster filled mansion only to escape adn find yet ANOTHER identical monster filled mansion only yards away":rolleyes:

I actually liked the item drop system. What got on my nerves were all the teamwork puzzles you had to do. It was cool after a couple of times but it got monotonous after a while. Did anybody else find the leach man humping your character unsettling?

[Danny]

nope.


cus i just ran the **** away whenever one appeared:lol:

[darth los]

nope.


cus i just ran the **** away whenever one appeared:lol:

lol. If you get the chance one day you absolutely have to let your character get attacked by him. I'll garauntee you'll want to press charges on him for sexual harrassment/lude acts in a public place. Either way you'll be scarred for life. They people at capcom had to notice how that looked. They're some sick bastards yo.:sneaky:
