Siren: New Translation

Downloading JP demo...

URGH the voice acting is what really killed it for me.

The graphics weren't overly bad back when I played it round a friends, and the idea was good behind it as well. The atmosphere was pretty damn freaky as well if i recall, making me and my friend wary about just strutting around each corner with whatever weapon our character of the moment had. But blimey did it play badly.

It was hard as nails if i remember, especially when it came to controlling two characters, and the controls weren't as responsive as I'd have liked if i recall... A decent remake could be interesting if thats what this is - i skippd the topic a little - but they'd have to make it a little easier for players like me and my friend Simon haha

The game's been confirmed for PSN in the west. 12 episodes released separately sometime this summer.

I'm guessing they'll be selling them at $5 each totaling the JPN version's MSRP.

[Gradon]

Interesting, after playing that demo, I have never been so scared to venture into a mine before!

I have a question, maybe a spoiler.
Spoiler:

You play as that LITTLE GIRL?!

Oh well, can't WAIT for the game.

[biohazard_star]

You can play as her in the PS2 version, it'll probably be the same with this one.

[Gradon]

Game come out on JP store, and Demo on US store.
Anyone bought the game?
Is the US demo different?

I'm waiting for the Asian version that's reportedly English, and on a BD too. I think it was Eurogamer that mentioned a full 7GB+ for the network download (all chapters).

I have the space to spare, but I'd rather have a tangible version whenever possible. It's not that expensive either at $55 at PA.

I still need to complete the first one thing is like I did with cold fear I couldn't get into it it was crazy with the whole time slot thing having to do things over the course of three days but I felt I was repeating the same thing over and over...just need time to get back into it.

This. I absolutely hate having games like this merely as digital information stored on my hard drive. I'd much rather a disc based release. Do we know when this Asian version will arrive?

[Umon Daisuke]

24th.

[Gradon]

Looking at PSN download = 9gb.
Yeah, I do agree with you guys though, I'd much rather get it when it comes out in Europe, or import it.

[Umon Daisuke]

You'll have to import. The game is network only in the west.

Anyone amused by the irony that SCEI pushed network download of 5-9GB, while still touting BD's viability of storage? If GT5 ended up on the PSN too, I'll be laughing my ass off.

[Darkmoon]

Alright, I'm horribly confused. Is this game download only or on disc? And in which countries is it which? Sorry if this is answered...but I'm drugged to my eyeballs and therefore a touch groggy.

[Umon Daisuke]

Network and disc in Asia (HK and Japan), but it's network only in the west. Episodic downloads too, at IIRC, $5 a chapter totaling $60.

[JcFFx]

I never played the old Siren games (watched a somethingawful LetsPlay of it, but that was it ).

Tried the demo. died. though I'm interested to know how it plays out... >_>
