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 ;)

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.
    • Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
