Comment on Potemkin: Crowe Helmets by ionen

I think you should go with an open helmet. After reading your description of the game, and being a hug fan of silent hill, and dead space, I think that the open helmet will make it more personal. In games/movies the only way people are gonna care about the characters is if they feel like they know them, and connect with them. So a closed helmet would make it seem more like this robot who's just moving along because the players commanding them to. With an open mask they can see emotion, or reactions when something grotesque happens, and they'll start to share those emotions and reactions, and be drawn closer to the character. (sorry for the long comment, I've actually recently beat almost all the Silent Hill games, and I'm really hoping to see a good horror game come out, that's actually done right)
