Europe gets the shaft again - Silent Hill:Homecoming delayed until February 2009
Gibbo | 10:26 AM on 10.13.2008 12 comments



Europeans are used to getting the shaft, whether there's excuses for it or not, but we haven't had it too bad in the last few months. After all the major releases for this and the next few months are all coming out over here on time. Well, until now.

From CVG comes the news of Konami announcing that Silent Hill: Homecoming will be delayed in Europe until February 2009, for seemingly no reason. Of course there's the language barrier but that hasn't stopped previous Silent Hill games and it's not as if the game has had bad reviews. Either way, being a Silent Hill fan, this isn't very good news and as CVG points out, this means that Silent Hill: Homecoming will now be released a month before Resident Evil 5. Could this be a possible reason for it's delay? I doubt it but either way not good news indeed.

Wow that sucks. Oh well, I wasn't planning to pick it up new at the very least so this'll probably just mean it drops off of my radar entirely and never gets played. Hopefully Konami will keep the next one in house and not copy the shit out of Res Evil.

That's a shame but isn't that pretty much the norm for most games?

Chadandjody: Not really. We're getting most of the holiday games on time, and we usually get releases a few days later than the US and JAP.

Out of protest, just skip Homecoming (until its cheap) and play RE5. That'll show 'em.

Hey you guys are lucky, it's banned here in Australia. Although this does mean I'll have to wait longer to import a PAL copy :(
