Silent Hill Origins News

 Poll of the Month

As you may know, Silent Hill V is not being made by the original team, Team Silent, but an american studio named The Collective. Our question is; If Team Silent had created what we know and have seen so far would it change your opinion on it, just because of the development team?


3 higher quality Silent Hill V Screenshots

Sadly not much new, but GamesRadar have posted up 3 higher quality screenshots seen previously before only in magazine scans. For some reason yet again the contrast and such has been changed and played with, not sure why. Thanks to SilentHiller for the update!

Here are some screenshots of the Playstation 2 version of Silent Hill: Origins. The screenshots are rather jagged, but keep in mind this is PS2 and the images at stretched, as well as the game still being in development, so they don't represent the final product.

 Silent Hill V Scans from Games


We have finally gotten our hands on the Silent Hill V article in Games TM which SilentHiller tipped us off about earlier.

The article doesn't say anything we didn't know already, but does feature some screenshots we saw earlier in much higher res. Also note that this is how the screenshots should look and not like this.

 Silent Hill: Origins Officially Coming to Playstation 2

Silent Hill: Origins, the formerly PSP exclusive Silent Hill is now in development for the Playstation 2.

Press Release:

Survival Horror Title Makes Transition from Handheld to Console

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - January 22, 2008 - Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today confirmed speculation that Silent Hill® Origins, released last year for the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system is in fact currently in development for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. Now PlayStation 2 system owners will have the opportunity to experience this frightening and popular survival horror game, complete with signature sound and music from renowned Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka.

"Console gamers can now expect the same chilling, suspenseful and fear-filled experience that handheld gamers encountered when we released Silent Hill Origins on the PSP system," said Anthony Crouts, Vice President of Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "This is their chance to learn more of the mystery and mythos surrounding Silent Hill that's been hinted at in earlier games and made the series such a success."

Players take on the role of Travis Grady, a lone truck driver making a routine delivery when he makes an unfortunate detour to the mysterious town of Silent Hill. Players must help Travis escape the city's horrific inhabitants and unravel the mystery of the strange hallucinations from Travis' past, visions that have plagued him since childhood.

Updated controls maximize combat, allowing Travis to use his fists, his wits and an array of weapons including a meat cleaver, pool cue and sledgehammer to fight his way through the nightmarish world of Silent Hill and face multiple endings based on his actions.

For more information, please visit www.konami.com.

Updating controls sounds good, let's hope they update the graphics as well.

Zero Punctuation: Silent Hill Origins Review


Yahtzee from The Escapist Magazine has reviewed Silent Hill. As always his reviews shouldn't be taken completely seriously as he evidently doesn't like a lot, but he does make some good points. It's also very funny. :P

Summer 2008 release date for Silent Hill V says EGM [Tips N4G about this story] Digg
Posted on 4 Jan 2008 Category: Silent Hill V


This month's issue of EGM has a long list of release dates for upcoming console games. Silent Hill V is included in this list and is slated for a summer 2008 release date. It sounds realistic but it's hard to say if this date is speculation or official. This of course contradicts Gamepro's date of "2009". For now we'll name it rumor but it does seem believable.

Small, but new Silent Hill V Screens in OPM


There are some new Silent Hill V screenshots in the "HD TV Buyer's Guide" section of this months Official Playstation Magazine (UK). A few are what we have seen before in scans from other magazines, however a couple of them are new.

The screenshots seem to be from a sewer or underground type area. They also show Alex holding a gun, which was unable to be shown to 1UP when we first saw Silent Hill V because they hadn't got that far yet, so it is progressing. Let's hope this means the 2009 thing was a mistake.

Silent Hill V Concept Art

Forum member Altmer has come across a site full of supposed Silent Hill V concept art. The site belongs to Kenzie L Lamar the Lead Character Artist, Character Modelling and Concept artist for SHV so it's pretty certain that this stuff is official.

The names of the new monsters are taken from their file names.

 New Project for Yamaoka; Could it be another Silent Hill?

In an interview with Gamasutra Akira Yamaoka has stated that he is participating in a new project at Konami where he assumes a suspiciously similar role to the one he has played during the production of Silent Hill: Origins and Silent Hill V "as Planning and also producing - and overall supervision". Could there be another Silent Hill game in the works? After all, the anniversary is coming up and he has said that there's something in the works.

He says this title should be announced soon, and its about 60% complete so stay tuned.

Silent Hill: Origins Reviews: GamePro - 4.5 / 5

GamePro have also reviewed Silent Hill: Origins, and scored it a generous 4.5/5. They also scored it in 3 areas which are:

# GRAPHICS: 4.50
# SOUND: 5.00
# CONTROL: 4.00

A summary of their review would be; Everything is perfect Silent Hill.

«Everything from the environments to the creatures oozes with the spine-chilling sense of dread that the series is known for.»



Even the camera. They found the camera to be "wonky" and found that the camera center button didn't always work the way it should all the time.

Pros: Impressive graphics. Immersive gameplay will creep the hell out of you.
Cons: Occasional wonky camera, character models could be a bit more detailed.

GameInformer Silent Hill: Origins Review 7.75

GameInformer have published their review of Silent Hill: Origins scoring it at 7.75.

Their review pretty much says that the old gameplay and camera angles which have been reused over and over since Silent Hill on Playstation. It's the style we love, and they do mention that Silent Hill fans should buy it, but it might no be for the general gamer.

«Fans of the series know exactly what I’m talking about, and they’ll be happy to know that the Silent Hill routine has been faithfully delivered to this portable package.»
