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.

Source

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 ;)

    • By the sounds of that wall of Fox News propaganda gibberish attacking the Democratic Party you've already had plenty of "juices" flowing this morning. You've ruined what could have been a productive comment thread with your bias post.
    • (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
