Silent Hill Downpour announced, detailed in new GI

Game Informer’s latest issues is carrying a proper reveal for upcoming Silent Hill game.

Titled, Silent Hill: Downpour, the game seems to be pretty interesting and does away from the traditional Silent Hill formula.

We have rounded up the info that the feature has about Konami’s latest below:

• Demo takes place in the outskirts of SH
• The town is so large that you can use a subway system to travel between focal points
• sidequests
• Avoid fights when possible, better to deliver incapacitating blows and run away (so good!)
• Boss fights with quicktime events (not so good)
• Water plays a huge part in the game, bizarre water effects like what looks like an upside down river flowing across a ceiling is described
• Prominent locations in the older installments like schools and hospitals will not return
• The southeastern part of Silent Hill that you see on the maps in the older games but never go to is the area that will be explored in DownpourN
• No weapon inventory, weapons weaken and break
• There will be puzzle difficulty options

The game’s releasing this year for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. No dates yet.

Thanks, Neogaf.
