Downpour is one of the only games to do this for me. I’ve always been a stickler for the idea that a perfect player-cam can give the sense of depth and scale of the videogame world to players. Downpour’s over-the-shoulder camera perspective especially pleases me because of its placing and angle. Murphy moves with ease and escapes the annoying control constraints that a lot of survival horror games use and feel like they need to use. Once control of Murphy is given to the player, one can see that he plays quite fluidly. During mid prison transfer, Murphy’s bus crashes off road on the outskirts of the foggy and mysterious town of Silent Hill. Like past protagonists before him, Murphy is pulled into the town because of his troubled past. Silent Hill Downpour puts players in the role of Ryal State convict Murphy Pendleton. Is it a worthy sequel to a franchise deemed as art by many of its fans? Let’s see. Arriving to players four years after Silent Hill Homecoming, Silent Hill Downpour has made its way to the world. It’s not a prequel, or a re-imagining, no, it’s a full blown sequel on current generation consoles. The moment has finally arrived–a new Silent Hill game is here.
