Fight Back On the Streets Of ‘Rage In Silent Hill’!

Published

on

As P.T. & Silent Hills continue to flicker with the occasional torch light of hope around the game being resurrected or embodied in an alternate form, another Silent Hill game has surfaced in 16-Bit glory.

Streets of Rage: Silent Hill is a 2015 OpenBoR-based fangame that reimagines the universe of Konami’s infamous horror franchise Silent Hill in a Streets of Rage style, with interesting and compelling results.

There are (almost) all monsters from the Silent Hill saga including the Pyramid Heads. We have many playable characters: Axel as James, Lisa (aka Yasha) as Maria, Blaze as Angela, Adam as Travis, Bongo as Eddie (who is also the boss of the 4th stage), Lucia (from Final Fight 3) as Heather, Pyramid Head and Scarlet (who is a boss of the 6th stage).

With the way Silent Hill fans are generally treated maybe this incarnation of the franchise will act as an outlet to channel some of their anger and frustration?  More info on the game can be found here.  I initially heard about this through Silent Hill Historical Society.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
