Silent Hill Origins for PSP - Officially Announced! |
Ó
We had told you earlier about an unnamed Silent Hill game for the PSP. And we were right! The new game called Silent Hill Origins has officially been announced at E3.The first handheld title in the legendary horror series, Silent Hill Origins uses the PSP to tell an original story with disturbing graphics and all-new gameplay elements. The game's narrative reveals what transformed Silent Hill from a sleepy town to a hellish stronghold of terror and introduces several new characters to the franchise.
Silent Hill Origins follows a solitary truck driver stranded in Silent Hill while making an ordinary trip. Confronted by perversions of his imagination that mirror his troubled past, he must escape from the town as it falls into ruin and also uncover the truth behind the hallucinations that have haunted him for so long.
The game introduces several gameplay mechanics that are new to the franchise and provide the player with an enhanced sensation of isolation as they make their way through the desolate streets of Silent Hill. Key to this is a new barricade system that lets players manipulate the environment to impede the progress of pursuing enemies, using furniture and debris to create a sanctuary from the evil that lurks outside. Players can also utilise an enhanced camera designed with the PSPTM in mind, as well as an updated control scheme for improved combat and more detailed exploration of the environment. Fans of the series will also revel in Silent Hill Origins' original soundtrack by series composer Akira Yamaoka.
"Silent Hill Origins delivers all the terrifying moments, gruesome enemies and memorable characters and story-telling the series is known for on to a handheld gaming system", said Hans-Joachim Amann, Head of European Product Management for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. "Players can now experience greater freedom with the game's enhanced combat and barricade systems and also learn how the chilling events of later Silent Hill games were set in motion."
No screenshots have been revealed. Guess we'll have to wait a little longer for them. Developed by Climax, Silent Hill Origins is scheduled to launch this Winter. Stay tuned for more updates from E3.

Finally a Silent Hill game arrives for the PSP, I've waited for so long.
Why did they call it origins if it's not retelling a story? Joystiq.com announced SH Origins and said it was the original SH on PS1 ported to the PSP but with enhancements. Oh well, not complaining or anything. I'm glad we are getting a new SH but a little dissapointed they aren't porting SH1. It'd be cool if they remade SH1 for PS3 though! :)
SH1 was already made into the the "Silent Hill Movie" but it is SH1 on psp with tuned gfx and textures. they also say they are releasing Silent Hill Experience, an interactive UMD for PSP with 20 songs from the SH series and the comic books with music. (I hope Silent Hill: Paint it black) is gunna be in it. other ones i dont care for. plus videos on what nots. but i still cant wait for silent hill origin to come out for the psp
Look here you noobz this is what happened before anything happened to slient hill. In other words this is the beginning of the beginning
