Silent Hill: Homecoming Box-Art ... Did the artist miss the point?

When you think Silent Hill, you think thick fog, disturbing monsters, an evil town and gory "otherworld", and a poor average-joe caught up in it all.

It appears as though the official Silent Hill: Homecoming box-art has snuck onto game sites with little notice and it's decent enough, if not a little "horror movie" cliche, but it doesn't seem to capture the point of Silent Hill.

So what do you all think of it?

  • I would really like it if it wasn't box-art for a Silent Hill game. It's yet another thing to add to the pile of "things in Homecoming that are worrying". Oh well, guess we'll see how good this new team ends up being on September 30th.

    Too bad I've already finished the hell out of Siren. Fun fact to point out that Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama created Siren as well. Should give people an idea of what game they should look for next (hint hint).

    Yeah, saw that this morning on ebgames.co.nz, looks like we'll be getting a sexy box art.

    The American box art reminds me of that painting with the farmer with the pitchfork, and his wife, standing in front of a barn. ;|
