Konami has just released a few more details about Silent Hill 8, including the new title. Some stuff:
-- water mechanic
-- plenty of psychological aspects, such as obvious choice decisions to more subtle things, like clothing you wear
-- large areas of Silent Hill to explore that haven't been in previous games. A subway system helps you get around.
-- a lot of side quests, another new thing for the series
-- a return of skewed camera angles
-- more combat than Shattered Memories, less combat than Homecoming
