Yesterday, Nick Doerr
proposed that this
mysterious Japanese countdown page was for
Heavy Rain. Looks like he was wrong. As many commenters noted, signs pointed to it being a new
Siren game. Now, a new magazine scan seems to confirm a PS3
Siren, and the countdown "mystery" seems cracked before the timer even reaches zero.
Due for a release this July,
New Translation is a remake of the original title. Supposedly 90 percent complete, a demo will be released on the Japanese PSN next week.

Awesome! I just hope this one gets a US release since the second one on PS2 didn't.

Okay, now I see, yeah, must be Siren 3, Siren is unannounced, the vid has red water like Siren 2 and there japanese talking.
Never played this game, but from the vids of 2, it looks meh, hope this one improves :)

All cower in fear, as the terrible voice acting of the english cast will strike fear upon us once again.
I've never played the original game, but I heard that it's rather good (becides the english voice acting).

Bad voice acting? What did they do, hire the cast from Resident Evil 1 (Biohazard)? http://www.audioatrocities.com/games/residentevil/index.html for laughs.

the first Siren was one of the creepiest games ever. the grain filters etc. made it super weird. glad to see it coming back.
