A Hole in the World

Silent Hill 4 Japanese PS2 cover

My friend just forwarded me a rather creepy gameplay test (WMV, 2.6 MB) of Silent Hill 4. It looks like the new game's storyline relies heavily on the use of a paranormal hole that is used by the main character, Henry Townsend, to get himself out of his cursed apartment. Unfortunately, the hole first transports him into various alternate worlds which are filled with freaks of nature. Judging from the gameplay test, it looks like this game will be quite action-oriented.

In addition to Henry, there are also 2 female characters who Henry will encounter throughout the game. The first one is Eileen Gavin and the other is Cynthia Velasquez. Eileen seems to be Henry's next door neighbour who lives in room 303 (Henry's room is 302) while Cynthia seems to be a cipher-type of character similar to Maria in Silent Hill 2. The game will be released to the Japanese public on the 17th of June this year and I can't wait to see what gamers think about it.
