[E3 2006] Silent Hill Beginnings Announced for PSP
5.10.06 - Konami has just announced Silent Hill Beginnings for the Sony PSP.
The new game in the Silent Hill series will tell the tale of what happened before the events of the earlier games in the series. Players will be able to live the lives of the Mason family before the father ventures into Silent Hill to find his lost daughter.
"Players are going to love the simulation aspect of Silent Hill Beginnings. They'll be able to take the daughter to school, cook dinner with the mother and read TV Guide with the father," said Hans-Joachim Amann, Head of European Product Management for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. "You'll find out what the Masons lived like before the tragedy."
Amann also said that they wanted to take this direction with the series because so many other companies have been putting out prequels and just making up stories to fill in the gaps.
"There are no gaps in the Silent Hill story. This is actually what happened before the tragedy - normal life."
The Silent Hill series is known for it's scary atmosphere and creepy enemies. It's also known for it's evil fog system - that evil bastard fog.
