E3 2002: Silent Hill 3 Uncloaked
Konami gets creepy again with new characters and storyline. First shots and details.

May 21, 2002 - The strange horror that is Silent Hill has been put on the fast track as the Konami KCE Tokyo development team has conjured up a brand new storyline with entirely new characters for Silent Hill 3, which Konami America announced today.

Featuring the eerie atmosphere introduced in the original PlayStation game, Silent Hill, and perfected with fantastic graphics, character models, and dark, disturbing images, Silent Hill 3 promises to bring gamers to new and unchartered regions of the human psyche.

Following what appears to be the vague formula that originated with Alone on the Dark, and made famous by Resident Evil, Silent Hill 3 comprises puzzles, slow exploration, frightening encounters, and a complex (if not entirely logical) storyline.

At the Dolby Theater in Burbank on Tuesday, the day before E3, Konami showed us a collage of movies scenes from Silent Hill 3 that looked very much like Silent Hill 2. What was most promising here was the addition of a machine gun. Yes, skip the plank with a nail in it, and bring in the machine guns, baby.

The weapons in Silent Hill 3 promise to be far more dangerous and powerful, and the enemies that attack your character look to be larger and more numerous. Remember Pyramid Head and the freaky doll creatures with legs for hands? Expect to see lots of similar freaks, caustic and grotesque creatures attacking you in various sized environments.

In Silent Hill 3, the new lead character is a young woman with short blond hair that appears confused and lost (surprise, she's in Silent Hill!), and she finds that a horde of unspeakably frightening creatures are rising up to take over the "paradise." The storyline was very vague, and basically the movie only showed off a select few scenes of machine gun combat, a strange female woman who spouted Biblical phrases, and some dark, dark images of doll-like creatures squirming around in disturbing, disturbing ways.

Konami did not reveal any new characters, any storyline details, or any other pertinent items of discussion in this early release. Konami announced that Silent Hill 3 will appear on PlayStation 2 (sometime) in 2003.
