Woah, OK. That was a surprise. It seems that Silent Hill Book of Memories, the Playstation Vita exclusive Silent Hill dungeon crawler, will soon have a demo. Awesome. The demo has been announced for EU regions and will be available tomorrow. The North American release has not been mentioned. Seeing as how the demo did not appear in the weekly Playstation Store drop for North American, we probably won’t be getting it later today.
Hopefully now that a demo is going to be available, more people will be willing to check out the game before hating it. I personally didn’t have a great time when I played it last November, because the demo was from a buggy build, so this demo will serve as an excellent opportunity to see exactly what this game plays and feels like. It’ll be nice to update my impressions on the new black sheep in the Silent Hill series.
I will be contacting Konami regarding the North American demo.
Update: The demo is said to contain the first two levels of the game and a boss fight with the Fire Boss. Character customization will not be in the demo be included in the demo but limited to two player classes. Enemies will be varied and some will be from latter parts of the game.
