Aye that would make sense.

Spoiler!

But the Dog Tags that he believes is his is actually his fathers. Plus the fact that Adam's wardrobe throughout the game matches up to that style jacket, sans perhaps his shoes.

I think it was just an error on Konami's part. They may have just assumed that old uniform would be right for the time period. Also Adam would have to been serving in the 60's at the beginning of his career. He was born in 1954. And seeings how he was a Colonel, he would have been in the army up to the late 80's perhaps. About that time was when they switched to BDUs (and even before that, they switched to Olive Drab in the 50s)

Listened to the original video with the new voices, again. It is Troy ^____^

Also, pushed back til the 20th. Fucking hell. This shit's insane.

[N-12_Aden]

Who did they get to do it?

I know it wasn't Bluepoint, because I don't think they could do several games at one time.

[Neg]

Book of Memories is this month, too?!?!?

What the flying fuck are they doing? WHAT THE FUCK.

I'm not seeing who worked on the HD collection on the wiki.

TBH, I am skipping Book of Memories. Sounds like shit, and the devs are shit. All they have done is shovelware.

According to series producer Tomm Hulett, Book of Memories' gameplay will be largely different from the one established in previous installments in the series, "focusing on cooperative multiplayer action rather than traditional psychological horror."

Also says it isn't canon. Well fucking duh

Even its not cannon its still a shitstain on the franchise as a whole.

Konami Logic:

Guy 1: "Well how are we going to revive the Silent Hill franchise?"
Guy 2: "We are going to hand a major project to a developer of dubious quality and we are going to make an abysmal handheld game that wont take advantage of any of the advances made by said new handheld."
Guy 1: "Sounds like a damned fine idea."

[DoDoRay9000]

It looks alright, but it doesn't interest me in particular. I'm sticking with Downpour when it comes out.

[Neg]

And delay our new game, as well as the re-release of our two best games, 5+ times.

FUCKING BRILLIANT.

[N-12_Aden]

Maybe they should ask Kojima to make the next Silent Hill. Probably would be scarier and more fun than the shit that Vatra will push out. Not trying to be overly negative, but come the fuck on. You would have thought they would have learned with Homecoming that hiring some shit company to handle your games is not a good idea.

[Neg]

We'll see what Downpour brings.

I'll defend Homecoming, to the death.

It's sort of like watching everything rapidly unravel. That's alright. That's how the world is. 6 amazing games is more than anyone has a right to expect out of a series.

[DoDoRay9000]

I'd actually like to see Hideo Kojima make a Silent Hill game(or whatever horror game he can make), that's a pretty cool idea, Aden.

Not saying that Homecoming was bad, but the quality could have been better. It was good imo.

However, you just can't whore out one of your flagship titles to that many devs. I would have been fine with Double Helix doing Downpour if they just fixed what needed to be fixed. Vatra however is an extremely unproven team. Their only other game is an alright PSN-XBL game. I just don't have a good feeling about their choice of devs. Could be good thing, Rocksteady was unkown before Arkham Asylum. I'll play Downpour for certain. Book of Memories Im not touching with a 20 foot pole.

Like I text Neg: "They're doing the first PS Vita game wrong. If Konami was smart they'd cancel the Vita version, put it on iOS and give the Vita an HD collection while working on a whole new game."

[Neg]

Like I texted Mark: "Why aren't you working for Konami? Get on that."

[Arigeitsu159]

Even its not cannon its still a shitstain on the franchise as a whole.

Everyone is assuming that Downpour will be a shit stain too... although I find the game to be quite compelling.

I agree with Neg about "Homecoming". The game has some great merits of its own.

[N-12_Aden]

Hey guys, how much stock do you have in an IGN review?

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

Gamespot's is a little higher

[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

[DoDoRay9000]

Seems rather typical of IGN.

But who cares, I can't wait for this one

[Neg]

GI gave it a 7, iirc. They gave Homecoming a 6.5, I think.

This gives me reason to be TEH EXCITES, considering how much I love Homecoming.

[N-12_Aden]

I don't care for IGN, it was just one of the only reviews available.

[Neg]

They gave the HD Collection an 8.

But, they're the same games, with optional new voices. Plus, Snow <3 So, I know that'll be absolutely fine.

[Arigeitsu159]

I usually take game reviews with a grain a salt. When it comes down to it, it's all about whether you enjoy the game personally or not.

Neg, what is "Snow <3"?

So excited to pick up Downpour tomorrow at Best Buy. But I might put it on the back burner until after I've finished Uncharted 3 and RE: Operation Raccoon City.

[Neg]

Troy Baker is voicing James. He played Snow. I loves him~
