In their coverage of AOU2007, Game Watch shows off Konami's newest arcade game, Silent Hill: The Arcade. This is a two player light gun game set in the creepy Silent Hill universe, and is set to give Silent Hill fans repeated, rapid fire pants explosions. Fan favorites like "Pyramid Head" and the freaky puppet nurses are set to make wonderful gun targets as players traverse the foggy, rust colored world.
The arcade cabinet in its deluxe form has a 5.1 surround system hidden underneath its curtains to give players a totally immersive experience, but aside from that it looks to be standard Konami gun fare. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but none of that matters as Silent Hill fans are probably going to enjoy it anyway.
Let's hope this comes stateside - those nurses need to be put down.

I love the Silent Hill series but...NO! Resident Evil Survivor was bad, what makes you think this is a good idea?
Just make a Silent Hill on PS3 or 360 (and a Wii?) and be done with it.
"Don't come... don't come!"
I would love to pop a cap in Pyramid Heads....um...head
Dont know about how "immersive" that curtain will be, but it would be interesting to play...I hope that surround sound will be sufficient enough to drown out the sounds of the surrounding arcade!
You've obviously never played The House of the Dead 4, then. That stomps Time Crisis to death. Now, if only the damn guns would work half of the time. They take so much abuse, it would seem...
I'd love to play this game, although the graphics aren't up to HotD4 standards. To be fair, HotD4 certainly isn't perfect in terms of graphics, as the polygon builds are actually quite low. Thankfully, the God-like textures bring the game back up as far as the overall appearance goes, though.
