Imagine living in a landlocked and extremely traditional Japanese village where everything is serene and everyone co-exists in peace. Then all of a sudden, the mountains turned into an infinite sea of red water and you hear a strange call to immerse yourself in it, as you take a dip, you realize that you are transforming into something that you’d only heard about in myths. Then everything just goes horrifyingly blank. That my friends, is Siren: New Translation.
Sony announced this week that Siren: New Translation for the PS3 would be coming soon to Japan. August 3rd to be exact, and it is supposedly a remake of the original, 90% complete, with a demo becoming available on April 24th. No word on North American releases or which consoles will be graced with the game, but more details are sure to surface pretty soon I am sure, because there is already a trailer for it.

Hey! I understood what the little girl said in Japanese. Komene = Sorry! All of those hours of anime watching are slowly paying off!
As for the game, is this the one the developers of Indigo Prophecy were working on exclusively for the PS3? It seems like a game in their style.
Either way, I'll add it to my watchlist since it seems very interesting.

@Daniel:
Nah, this is a game developed by Sony Japan, not Quantic Dream. If you're interested in it, I suggest that you pick up the original "Siren" for PS2, but be careful, it's one of the hardest (also scariest) survival horror games I've ever played. Also, awful voice acting in the English release. A good game nonetheless…

@ Daniel - The game you're thinking of, as stated by Zom, is by Quantic Dream and it's called 'Heavy Rain'.
