This afternoon, I braved the foggy streets of New York City today, making my way down to the W Hotel on the 39th Street to attend Konami's holiday media event. One of the games on hand was the final build of the Xbox 360 version of Silent Hill: Homecoming, set to ship later this month.
I spent about forty minutes with the game's opening area, what essentially played out like a tutorial level in a worn down hospital. I'll be posting some hands-on information and impressions tomorrow, but in the meantime, I wanted to pass along these screens Konami gave us of Homecoming's big baddies.
News to me: outside of Pyramid Head (the obvious one) these bosses actually have names. Spoiler alert? Maybe -- half of the surprise and fright will probably come from encountering these monsters for the first time. Or you're just scared seeing them will give you nightmares.
Names to go with the faces after the jump.
Pyramid Head
Asphyxia
Scarlet
Sepulcher
Siam

I'm still sceptical about this game.
I'll just keep playing the original I guess ;_;
Yeah...meh.
From the previews it looked a little clunky but ll give ita go. Hell not much else till Saints Row in terms of games anyway.
@Nintendoll not really shameless fan service, but it can actually prove that P.H. comes in many shape and sizes and was not limited to James O.G. P.H.(P.H. short for Pyramid Head((for those of you say P.H. WTF???)), or Travis' wanna be P.H. known as The butcher
P.H. is not limited to only one person, as many claim P.H.come to you out of the persons own pyche
also a big differrence and somewhat proof that my claim can be true look at old P.H. compared to new P.H.
old P.H.'s great knife looks like a huge scalpel
while new P.H.'s looks alot like a huge army survival knife
@Robofart no dice your talking about Leonard Wolf almost similar to Siam but like I said no dice
Seems the artistic and creative edginess that marked SH and SH2 out from the crowd has been lost on the new US devs/publishers.
