It’s a classic story: Human trucker boy meets zombie girl. Boy saves girl from house fire, girl wants to eat boy’s brains, boy bashes girl’s skull in with a hammer. This, my friends, is the mis en scène for three new Silent Hill Origins gameplay trailers.
Incidentally, somebody at Konami is really happy with themselves about the whole hammer bit – it’s the focal point of all three videos. Forget problem solving and critical thinking, this Q4 PSP title is all about visceral, yet ultimately unsatisfying, button-mashing.
And then there's the question of DIY gone awry. The flashlight attached to the flannel allows for a nicer swing, but makes things hard to see. I know the lack of visibility adds to the underwhelming and bland atmosphere, but it’s so illogical that it would probably just piss me off. Why don’t you just hold your flashlight like everybody else, Ashton?
Anyway, hit the jump for two more gameplay videos.

as a gamer who has played silent hill, the game looks much better since SH0 was first shown at E3, and the graphics look a bit polished WITH the grain filter
"Human trucker boy meets zombie girl. Boy saves girl from house fire, girl wants to eat boy’s brains, boy bashes girl’s skull in with a hammer."
I'm pretty sure that's not the character from the fire, but instead the zombie nurses that have become a staple of the Silent Hill games and even the movie.
I also love silent hill and this looks not bad (down side) I downgraded to 3.10 and a new 3.4 or what not is out....have to use my girlfriends one I guess

You can make a Silent Hill game without rape?
