Silent Hill: Downpour Delayed

Silent Hill: Downpour Delayed

Murphy gets his sentence prolonged

You kind of had to see this one coming, folks. After plenty of screens and trailers highlighting the return to Silent Hill, we hadn't received an official release date, despite the claims that the game would release this Fall. Some fans got worried, and just like in the series, their worst fears have now come true. Konami has officially delayed Silent Hill: Downpour until Q1 2012.

The first indication of a delay may have been how most sources pegged the game for an October/November release. Well, it is October, and if there wasn't a date by now, there wasn't going to be one.

There was no word from Konami on what caused the delay. One would assume either the game isn't ready or they were intimidated by the competitive release window. In any event, it will certainly take a load off of our holiday gaming wallets, which are going to be nearly emptied as it is.

Join me as I mourn the delay of the next Silent Hill with a review of our recent trailers and screens of Downpour.

Amazon has had it's release date at March 12th 2012 for at least a couple months now. So this doesn't surprise me.

Apparently the game was pretty rough and needed a lot more polish according to an IGN preview. The game just wasn't ready for launch this year, which is probably fine for most of the fanbase. The more time, the better. Too many games as it is already this holiday season.

Awesome news, 1 game off the huge list for Christmas games.

This is for the best, it has lots of potential, I'm guessing they don't want it to turn into another Homecoming, even though I enjoyed it, it just didn't "feel" like a Silent Hill game.

This will give the developers more time to fine tune the game and gamers more more time to fatten their wallets!
