Gameplay features include an automated split-screen sightjacking mode that allows the player to see through the eyes of others while continuing to play normally. Over 50 weapons are available throughout, each with its own unique finishing moves. Stealth is also a large part of the gameplay.

Siren Blood Curse is the first online distributed episodic console game ever. Alongside Warhawk & GT5P it's redefining what quality we can expect from next-gen downloadable titles.

Was browsing GAF and I noticed this is coming out in 2 days!

I also didn't know it's made by the guy who d:|e Silent Hill 1 :| Awesome! I love SH1.

Anyone else planning on buying this? Looks like it might be a sleeper hit of the summer.

The:|railer is scary :|

I was/still am looking forward to this, but I did try the demo out the other day just for like 5 minutes as I had to go out with my in laws for dinner, and the controls definitely did seem a little off to me as I had read in a few early previews, so I definitely need to really sit down with the demo and make a decision.

Also instead of starting a new thread about it, what is the easiest way to back up my data for switiching out the HDD? Just reading this is 9GB, and also with the movies now being offered, it got me thinking I should maybe finally swap out my 60GB for a larger drive which I had planned on doing all along. So can I just back up all of my current data to an external USB drive, and is there an easy way to do it? I do not want to have to reenter all of my friends list and download all of the PSN games I own again if I can avoid doing so.

Just go to backup on the PS3 XMB.

It will ask you to plug in a USB device (such as a hard drive or memory stick). It will then tell you if you have enough space, and if so, ask if you want to backup everything or just system files (system files means just profiles, you'll want to backup everything so you don't need to redownload PSN stuff).

Is that a bad thing? The first Silent Hill was fantastic!

Just because they took all the SH elements doesnt mean it will be as good. I am worried about the lack of originality.

Nice, did not even know for sure if that option was there. Thanks. (Y)

I take it you didn't play Siren on the PS2?

This game is essentially a remake of that title.

Trust me, it's pretty original.

Was a difficult yet awarding game to approach on the PS2, but the purpose of this remake is to make it more accessible to everyone.

By the way, word is this game is now up!

Pretty sure I will be picking this up fairly soon.

There is not a retail version correct? Just all through the PSN? Pretty sure I know that answer is No, just double checking.

I think there is a BR version in Asia/Japan, but I don't know about USA/Europe.

So I guess they never heard of Tomb Raider and Penny Arcade.

Probably mean on PSN, or the first to come out.

Is Penny Arcade or Tomb Raider out?

Siren: Blood Curse released in Europe at higher price than previously announced

SCEE?s released DLC horror Siren: Blood Curse in Europe. It?s on the PSN now in 12 episodes.

Each pack of three episodes costs ?6.99, not ?4.99 as we were originally told.

Full game is still ?19.99

Obviously the incentive is to buy the full game rather than the episodes.

If you buy everything separately it will come to ?28 instead.

It was never going to be ?4.99, if it were, buying the episodes all separately would've cost ?19.96, which is cheaper than the full g:/e :/

Is this a survival horror like RE?

might give it a whirl

More like Silent Hill than RE.

There's a demo up for it. Might only be on the American PSN store though, but it's region free so download away.

You are right, never played it but dont tell me this Trailer its very similar to the SH series. :s

Played the demo yesterday, short but good, I like this kind of game.

The only downside is that it looks like a PS2 port (maybe it is? I wasn't actually following this title so I don't know). Still, an attractive title for me.

Looks like a PS2 port? In what way does it look like a PS2 game? If you mean in terms of story/gameplay then you are right, it's a new game based on an old PS2 title. If you mean in terms of graphics, models etc you really need to pay a visit to Specsavers ;)

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair
    • If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
    • The high cost of labor and operating within the US. Donald hasn't been able to figure that out--pathetic.
