"What The....?"
Silent Hill 3 REVIEW?
RPG that's better than Goldeneye?
Uh, maybe it's the slow reaction time of the Europeans, since April Fool's Day was months ago.
Or maybe this is
*GASP*
MEGATON?

Mario, the link does not work. Still, I'm having a hard time believing that Silent Hill 3 would be ported to GameCube. This is Konami we are talking about here! This has not been reported on gaming sites (the ones I visit).

Need confirmation from other sources too.

It must be, Slient hill 3 reviewed already no thanks! It ain't even been confirmed on Gamecube.
And the whole mag to me seems fake.I get NOM every month and they said a free gift would be included in julys issue but it would be a inflatable pokeball not what seems like to be the american demo disc that cost $10 and we get it for free, must be dreaming.
And at the top it says "we score the game of the year" referring to TLOZ:WW did'nt they do that 3 issues ago?

Im not totally convinced its real though. Id say theres a 50/50 chance.

(from Emap / Nintendo Official Magazine publisher staff)
"If you're here, you should by now have seen both the next cover of NOM and the possible free demo disc that we're thinking of sticking on the cover. Go wild, let us know everything you think about the cover and the demo disc. If you want to say something else about the magazine, or just want to get something random off your chest, there's another vent box below."
They're asking for opinions on it right here:
http://www.emapmagazines.co.uk/NOM_panel_ima ges.shtml
They're showing that cover to subsribees as you can see. God knows why they'd torture with them with that image if it wasn't a hint... there are some naff stories on there that don't make sense though: "Super Mario Kart - why this is Mario's funniest outing ever" and "GBA Section: why this is Mario's funniest outing ever".... as well as "The RPG thats finally better than GoldenEye"... hmm.
That said: the stories could be placeholders simply there to represent the new look. As indicated by last months issue there is an image change happening over this and the next issue ("Stop Press. Nom is changing" - page 129, issue 130). I also found variants of the images at that link btw those images (below):
EMap.com About NOM page:

this issue supposedly goes on sale next Monday. The mock up cover seems like it could be a hint if theyre showing it to subscribees or whatever IMO... it could also be a cruel joke - I dunno. As for the demo disc? In last months issue an overwhelming 96% of the readership voted for one - I just pray we get it now... those who want it should go there and tell em what an awesome idea it is. I've also said I'd happily pay more to get my hands on it...
Hope this helps!

Judging entirely from the picture presented, I have to say that I seriously believe this news is fake. The text on the magazine is just too crappy to even be placeholder... RPG better than Goldeneye? That's just stupid.
Although, I will say this. I had planned to get Silent Hill 3 for PC, but if it is indeed coming to GameCube, I am getting the GCN version, and I encourage you guys to do so too, as it will show Konami that we still love them, even though they hate us.
It's really that simple.

He was a little mystified on why Silent Hill 2 hadn't come to GameCube.

I think it might be even scarier than Eternal Darkness.
I never got around to playing the second one, and i could never finish the first one (Got to the school, with those scary crying kids trying to eat your legs...*shivers*) But, I might pick it up if it is indeed coming out for gamecube.
Why would it be announced on that magazine? and not a japanese/american one? Seems kinda strange to me, considering I'm pretty sure that we would be getting it first regardless, and we would want to know about it first and whatnot *hype sells*
No matter, i hope its true.
the placeholder text was just stupid though O_o, should have at least been believable.

Silent Hill has ALWAYS been been better than Resident Evil, in my opinion. It doesn't focus on rubbish like collecting colourful keys, or blowing away the same looking zombie 400 times with stupid over the top rocket launchers and crap. NO. It's a pure horror game.
Silent Hill 2 had me fearing every damn step I took. You could ALWAYS hear strange distorted growls and the dull thumping of machinery in the background. Plus the game is PITCH DARK. It had disgusting scenes, like demon sex...
Nothing seemed real, the characters were never what they seemed. Monsters would appear out of the darkness, spiders would fill the rooms, hell, the main character started to go insane (Not like ED insane
)... It was fan-bloody-tastic.We need SH2 and 3 on GC. NOW

Well, it was a psychological thriller. Whereas other games like RE rely on B-rate movie type scares by having stuff jump out at unexpected moments, ED tries to mess with your mind. If a player can stop screwing around with the game and let it draw the player in, it can have a greater effect, much like movies can do. A sad movie can get the viewer to cry if it can pull them in, but if they joke around and throw popcorn at people, it doesn't have its effect. The same goes with ED.

Heh. In Silent Hill 3 Trailer 3, I noticed that they included a taste of the new monster rape scene. It looks to be quite interesting.
Man, do I ever love Silent Hill.
