Siren: Blood Curse (known as Siren: New Translation in Japan) is a stealth-survival horror title directed by Keiichiro Toyama of Silent Hill fame and developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment's internal Japan Studio for the PS3. It is an intentionally "Americanized" remake of the original Siren, inspired by similar remakes of Japanese horror films.
The game notably has a larger focus on melee weaponry compared to previous Siren games, with there being far more melee weapons than there are firearms, with the game technically having less firearms than even the original game. It adds features from Forbidden Siren 2 such as signal flares (functioning similarly to the smoke candles used by the military characters in 2) and hunting traps.
The following weapons appear in the video game Siren: Blood Curse:
Revolver
Unknown revolver
An unknown revolver that holds 6 rounds is used by the player characters and the Shibito. It is called the ".38 Caliber Handgun" in-game and fills the role of the Nambu Model 60 in the original game. Its most notable user is once again a Police Shibito, Shuji Shimada, though he can be essentially conisidered the same character as Tetsuo Ishida from the original game, filling in the same story and gameplay purposes as the latter. He is also the only Shibito that won't drop his weapon when taken out.
Notably, Shuji also uses the revolver in the live action "New Translation Episode 0", though due the low quality of the footage, combined with his revolver only seen from a distance, makes it hard to tell how accurate it is to the in-game model as it's essentially just a small black blur at best in the footage.
Shotgun
Double-Barreled Shotgun
A 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun is used mainly by Seigo Saiga. Notably, the Shotgun is portrayed as extremely accurate with a tight spread that keeps high damage at a distance unlike most video games; in one of his first scenes, not only is he able to blast Shibito from a long distance away, once the newly-turned Shibito Shuji takes cover in a house, Seigo is able to quickly and accurately blast the door's hinges off and reload his shotgun fast enough to shoot Shuji just after he draws his revolver. The shotgun is also available in a sawed-off version, which trades off the manual sniping mode for faster-lock-on aiming; the player is given the ability to manually saw the shotgun down in 2 stages, where it is highly encouraged due to the stages being set in a mine, where close-quarters combat is essential.
Shibito with the Shotgun are of a mixed danger level, as the weapon's damage drops off against the player at a distance but a close-range blast will kill the player instantly.
Rifle
Murata Type 13
A Murata Type 13 appears as the "Hunting Rifle". Unlike Siren 1 which had 3 different rifles, Blood Curse only has a single rifle. It holds only one bullet but a new round is quickly inserted when reloading.
