Games from the Silent Hill franchise are one of the best survival horror games around! After Silent Hill Origins, the prequel to the games was released on the PSP. It was known that the game would come on the home consoles. Now publisher Konami has sent word that Silent Hill Origins will release on the PS2.
Hans-Joachim Amann is the head of European product management for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. He comments, “Silent Hill Origins is a stunning introduction that explains some of the mystery and mythos of the series, and we look forward to inviting Silent Hill’s many fans back to its doom-laden streets.”
Silent Hill Origins for the PS2 will be a visually superior version of the PSP game. It will have many elements that are new to the franchise and will offer gamers a better sensation of isolation. The survival horror game features intuitive cineractive system that lets gamers prostrate gruesome monsters while the control scheme changes spontaneously for each situation. Silent Hill Origins will include OST by series composer Akira Yamaoka. Also, the game has an enhanced camera system that actively tracks Travis.
Overview of Silent Hill Origins:
Silent Hill Origins acts as a prequel to the well-liked horror series, and follows troubled truck driver, Travis Grady, who gets stuck in the terrifying town while making a routine delivery. He quickly discovers that all is not well in the fog-smothered town, and that its shrouded streets hide grotesque creatures and dark secrets. Moreover, as he explores the seemingly abandoned town, Grady is met by crippling memories from his troubled past and it becomes clear he must escape from Silent Hill while resolving the memories that have inundated him since childhood.
Silent Hill Origins will release for the PS2 in May 2008. The PSP version of Silent Hill Origins was launched last year and received decent reviews. It is a nice thing that they are getting the game on the PS2. Some time ago, Konami also announced Silence Hill V for the PS3 and the Xbox 360.
