Color me gullible, but I'm quite looking forward to Silent Hill: Downpour. So far, its developers are saying all the right things and it's sounding very promising. These new screens are pretty gorgeous too, so check them out.

These are the first public screens of the game, barring whatever Game Informer nabbed for its exclusive. It's all looking suitably dark and mysterious, and the environmental shots appear particularly creepy.

I've got my fingers crossed. I haven't been into the series since the last generation, and I count Silent Hill 2 as my favorite game in all creation, so I'm really hoping Konami can win me back this time.
