Silent Hill: Downpour first info and scans

Silent Hill: Downpour is the official title for the new Vatra/Konami Silent Hill title for PS3 and Xbox 360. Text from the scans was hard to read but here’s some info from what I could make out:

-Demo takes place in the outskirts of SH
-The town is so large that you can use a subway system to travel between focal points
-Sidequests
-Avoid fights when possible, better to deliver incapacitating blows and run away
-Boss fights with quicktime events
-Water plays a huge part in the game, bizarre water effects like what looks like an upside down river flowing across a ceiling is described
-Prominent locations in the older installments like schools and hospitals will not return
-The southeastern part of Silent Hill that you see on the maps in the older games but never go to is the area that will be explored in Downpour
-No weapon inventory, weapons weaken and break
-There will be puzzle difficulty options
