Silent Hill Origins gameplay videos

After a very long hiatus, there's finally something new in store for Konami's Silent Hill: Origins. Three new videos have come up that showcase some very weird gameplay, something standard for aficionados of the genre but altogether weird for people who've never seen burning children speak calmly before.

In the first one, you're stuck in a burning house, and as you can probably guess, you've got to find a way out. Needless to say, this is where you find the burning child who speaks calmly of wanting to burn while lying down inside the drawing of a pentagram, so you know where this is going.

The other two videos have lots of pretty nurses... who want to kill you and make you pay for your sins. In this case, you've got to take them down as best you can so you can call yourself sane. We do hope you're up to the challenge.

In any case, enjoy the three videos we've got for you below, and remember: watch where you step.

I agree, the camera angle seems to be weird. I hope u can force it to turn where u r facing. Dats just stupid if u cant see where u running into if u face the camera, just like in the burning house.

» It's hammer time!

graphics look *****ing good, the controls like most of PSP games looks like it needs some work but if i was able to play CoD and Gun till the end this one will be no problem =P

» It's Silent Hill, it can't be a bad game!

I can't wait for this game. I love Silent Hill saga.

» Nice, nice...

All silent hill games have a wierd camera. It is not a problem, it is a mark of the series. Plus you will be able to center the camera on your back with L button.

But graphics are REALLY amazing, look at the dynamic llighting and shadows.

For a PSP this game looks fantastic

Cant wait to play it!

This game looks interesting~ + good graphic.

» Game looks preety good

This game is shaping up to be way better than I expected. I don't really see that much of a problem with the camera. It can't be any worse that the camera for Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. But one thing I hope they improve is the sound effects. I just don't by the thumping sound when bashing the Nurses with a sledge hammer.



It should have more of a brutal, viscural bashing noise than just, "Thump". But everything else looks superb.

» Noob.

"dat" isn't a word. And I can see you obviously haven't been playing games very long to comprehend why they make the camera this way. go play Halo, noob.

why don't you bash yourself in the head with a hammer and record it for them

This game looks really dark and amazing. I have no prblem with the camera angles sice it's silent hill. The story loooks like a very vivid, darj and scary story. It shows that a portable game can be horrfying.

» Anyone else notice

On the menu screen that it said L1 and R1? Are we sure this is a PSP exclusive game still? If its coming to PS2 and PSP, I'll probably pick it up on PS2, just because you get more atmosphere sitting in a darkened room than on a bus.

It seems to be shaping up to be a great game. It looks MUCH better than what we saw earlier. The only thing I didn't like was the sound effect of the sledge hammer, it needs to make a more brutal, realistic sound effect, but thats nothing major. The visuals also look very amazing, especially since it's on a handheld.



I'll buy the hell out of this when it comes out.

I'm buying this one!

» I really hope they fix the camera

It seemed to be a real annoyance in the burning building and when those two nurses were ganging on him.



The graphics, though, look fantastic! But I didn't really get scared...at all...it was not scary. well I hope they have more uber-freaky moments in the game.

» Cool gRAPH

Coolest graphic for a psp game so far. So the developers start to use the full potential of PSP ^^. Can't wait to play.

by jaydogg691 - 2007-04-23 11:30
» Looks cool.

The game reminds me a little of the first Silent Hill game. The only thing that seems to be missing is that RE4 camera that was shown in the trailer and other gameplay clips. Looks like another great Sillent Hill game.

» This is just a trailer

and the part where the little girl says Let me burn scared me a little so the game must have some pretty frekish parts

by Matt - 2007-04-23 13:26
» Hmm

What happened to that RE4-style camera? That would've been so good. Oh well though, this still looks like it's going to be a great game, Silent Hill has amazing atmosphere.

» ive got a bad feeling about this drop...

ignore kauffman, hes an idiot. i also agree the camera in this is poorly done... it was the first thing i noticed watching the vid on the main page... in that short space of time, the guy playing ran into the fire twice because you just cant see where your going. yes camera positioning is part of the atmosphere in the game, but you can clearly see how piss-poor the positioning is in this, and it doesnt matter how great the atmosphere, graphics, and story are, if its virtually to play the game and enjoy it while you do. i hope the game allows some form of camera control, even if its a pan left/right, zoom in/out option, or maybe a menu selection to control the camera or leave it as 'cinematic' camera... SOMETHING, but yeah, a great game can be ruined by crap camera placement, and im pretty worried about this game purely on that point.

No the camera angle is great! Just like silent hill! I have been looking forward to this game since August and I remember they said it would be released in April and then it was postponed till late December. I cant wait that long!!!!!

by bleh - 2007-04-23 15:27
» pffft

That tells me that you are new to the silent hill series if you're complaining about the camera angle. So you have no credibility on the subject. Look how well the franchise is doing. Also, look at RE. Other than RE4 it has the same kind of angle and it is an awesome franchise. Quit complaining. The devs know way more than you and they wouldn't be takin so long to develop this game if they were just gonna screw it up by something so simple.

» Heh

Why do the Demonstrators always suck when they play the game they are demonstrating...

» Ebonics are not cool

Ok, I'm not going to go as far as Kaufmann and full on attack you, but I do agree with him. "Dat" is not a word... you don't sound cool saying it, just ignorant by dumbing yourself down. Please, for the sake of decency, be cool in your own way, you don't have to try to be a carbon copy of fake rappers (who put out *****ty music these days anyways).

by im ryan - 2007-04-23 16:45
» hmmm....

cool graphics... and when did silent hill get to control the camera?

by Reaper724 - 2007-04-23 18:48

im a big fan of RE but ive only played the first silent hill cuase i dont have a ps2 but the over the shoulder might be for the open world, wile the set camra is for hallways and rooms.

the grafix are awsome but the most part of the psp having skechy grafix is cuase of so little space on the umd so devs drop the grafix down to save space.

it will be nice to see the psp at its full potential and at that in my favorite type of game survival horrer

Nothing wrong with camera angle, just like other SH games. You can press L shoulder button to quickly center the camera behind the character.

by im ryan - 2007-04-24 02:22
» haha

good one with the "L1 and R1" in the inventory menu XD

by lol dis chat b!tch - 2007-04-24 04:07
» b 4 U R PWND

Racist. Dis ain't ebonics. I, like other tech savvy souls do not chat as I speak. It is to early to applauld or damn this game for a camera system that is still in beta. Also until I use the said system I can't say how I like it.

This game is already looks f-ing awesome. I'm really looking forward to it!
