New Silent Hill 5 Details

The Silent Hill series has been noted as the successor to the Resident Evil horror genre crown. They have made a name for themselves with four critically-praised releases, a blockbuster film, and successful portable sales. Silent Hill fans can be sure the series will be around for quite a while. The details about the next part in the series, Silent Hill 5, have been hard to come by as Konami has kept a tight ship on any leaks regarding plot details or gameplay elements. Fortunately, famed Silent Hill designer Akira Yamaoka has revealed a few details in a recent interview regarding the upcoming release.

GamePro: Despute is over the console which SH5 will appear on. Does Konami Digital Entertainment have any plans or ideas of the platform which Silent Hill 5 will be?

Akira: At this time we are still not sure. We are thinking of putting the next canon game on the next generation consoles like Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, but we have had a good past experience with Playstation [where the series was born] and we hope to continue that trend, but there are no definate plans as of yet.

GamePro: Will the gameplay aspect be a resemblance of Silent Hill: Origins or remain as far as the series is?

Akira: Everything is draft at the moment, but we might not copy the Silent Hill: Origins. That is not our intention as a different studio is inventing Silent Hill: Origins.

GamePro: You sound displeased with the new system?

Akira: I dont mind it, infact I like it and agree with the choice for the Playstation Portable System, but I dont think thats the camera angle we want on a home console. That way you don’t see enough of the surroundings that really mean alot to the player in Silent Hill.

Resident Evil 4 really set the bar for excellence in the horror genre. It will be interesting to see if Silent Hill 5 will be able to surpass it.
