PSP ports to PS2 confirmed: Silent Hill: Origins and Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters
Konami Digital Entertainment confirmed speculation that Silent Hill: Origins, released last year for the PSP is in fact currently in development for the PS2. Now PS2 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. Origins will be released on the PS2 in March, 2008.
“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.
Sony also confirmed speculation that Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, released last year for the PSP is in fact currently in development for the PS2. To quote the PlayStation Underground email update: “Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters. Experience the next Ratchet and Clank adventure on the PlayStation 2.”
