Word of warning for those wanting to buy the game on PC.....apparently according to Konami this game will NOT be receiving a retail release in stores, only the console versions will be available in stores as the PC version will be a digital download only via Steam.
Not sure what to think of this myself, I read somewhere that digital downloads are the future of the industry according to developers so in a way it makes sense, however I am sure this will be cracked and on the newsgroups within days anyhow.
The only problem I can see with this digital downloading is that of servers and mass usage, the way I see it is right now people's connection speeds aren't fast enough and servers aren't strong enough to cope with masses of people downloading 6+ gb of data at least so it doesn't sound too practical in theory from that perspective, if they operated via newsgroups it might be a different matter perhaps since at least it's a tiny nzb file download and then at least people get to download at their full internet speed (after payment of course
) and not what their servers dictate. Imagine paying for a game and then having to wait for literally hours and hours before it's even downloaded.
Saying that I WILL be getting Silent Hill Homecoming either way be it newsgroups or legit even if I have to leave my PC on all night downloading off the Konami or Steam servers.
