Silent Hill Downpour - Latest!

With only a vague release date (Fall 2011) and very few details, Konami is keeping tight lipped on the latest edition to the psychological horror series of Silent Hill. Known as Silent Hill: Downpour, details on the story are scarce, however, it involves a prisoner named Murphy Pendleton who finds himself in Silent Hill, after his prison transport bus crashes. After that, is anyones guess. But here's some latest pics of the nightmarish game.

 Above, shows the main character, Murphy in some sort of cavern or cave where the bridge has collapsed...

Even though little is known about the game, it is confirmed that legendary composer, Akira Yamaoka will not be working on the game, nor will Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who has provided vocals in the previous games. Instead, Daniel Licht of Dexter fame will be composing. 

Above, shows "A Cunnigham" holding a Colt, probably one of the police officers on the prison transport bus. Could she be called Alice? Adrienne? And how will she play a part in Downpour?

Shinji Hirano, President of Konami is quoted as saying: "In honoring the rich history and strong following of Silent Hill, we're working hard to build a next-generation horror game the fans truly deserve... This Silent Hill introduces an all-new storyline and unique evolutions in gameplay, building on innovations and successes from over a decade of true survival horror and terror."

Above and below show more recognisable shots of Silent Hill. Konami have stated that places such as the school and hospital will return, along with new places such as The Diner and the Devil's Pit. They also state it will be set in the South-eastern area of Silent Hill, not seen in the previous series.

I'm hoping it's nothing like Silent Hill Homecoming, but these screens are making it appear to be one to look out for. More news on Silent Hill: Downpour on the way!
