From the mists: a Silent Hill Origins hands-on |
Ó
New stuff on Silent Hill Origins have been hard to come by after the previews released around summer last year. For Silent Hill fans eager to get this game on their PSP, rejoice, for the game is alive and kicking (or screaming? this is, after all, Silent Hill). Game Informer has new details and screenshots regarding the game. In fact they even have an exclusive hands on preview of the game Climax was entrusted by Konami to develop.
Details so far? Combat is initiated by holding R. While holding R, pressing X allows you to attack, square lets you block. Holding down X can let you charge attacks with whatever implement you happen to have at the time - fists if you're a poor sad soul. Walking up to twitching half dead bodies of opponents - a crazed Nurse in Game Informers case - and pressing X allows you to finish them off. In their case, via a head stomp courtesy of lead character and unfortunate trucker, Travis O'Grady.
You can cycle through targets and lock on to ones you want to. There are context sensitive moments where controls change depending on the situation you're in - jamming a button to break free from a grab. Also, true to Silent Hill form, there are firearms but as expected, ammo is limited, and yes, there will be puzzles.
Tapping L lets you fix the camera behind your lead character, if in case the new camera set up they've got turns out to be unruly, and you happen to get confused as to where you are.
Game Informer notes that while the grim and static-filtered graphics was on a much smaller screen, the version of the game they played was scary enough to get their PSP messy with the sweat and skin-oil from their palms, and their heart beating as if they were running while playing the game.
Need to be convinced about the graphics and stuff? Ogle the screenshots:
Judging from the screenshots it seems that even a brutish and slightly more combat capable trucker isn't exempt from the insanity that is Silent Hill. For Game Informer's complete hands on, feel free to head to it via our "read" link below.

Can't wait to play this! god bless devhook! xD
Finally! i Cant freaking wait for this game! and kind of release date yet?
Remember people buy the game don't download it. If the developers sell enough copies then we might get a sequel. Also the game looks great. Can't wait
Basically... its just silent hill on the psp... could have spared on the obvious control details that way.
Homebrew sucks, people and they're *****ty ISO loading.
Homebrew its good for testing the games because I did it and it was kain of weird to change from one firware to another.....but I like it.
Either it's a DS fanboy, or someone who doesn't know Shiznit about HB. Homebrew gives the PSP features $ony failed to add into the PSP to date. From playing any PS1 game to applications and shells. Their is so much we can do, and straight from a memory card.
I'll second that comment, I'm gonna get myself an roginal copy of this game, I have played all the silent hills so far n they're good. This one is worth the buy. Lets Support the developers people!
