Konami is offering up new details on their first Silent Hill title for the PlayStation Portable. Silent Hill Origins, according to Konami, “follows a solitary truck driver, Travis Grady, who gets stuck in the terrifying town while making a routine delivery. He quickly discovers the locals aren't quite normal, and neither is the town. To complicate matters, Grady is confronted by crippling memories from his troubled past. He must escape from Silent Hill while resolving the memories that have plagued him since childhood.”

This game will offer several new gameplay elements to the franchise, including “a cinematic experience comparable to the previous games, but framed within interactive moments”, as well as an enhanced camera designed with the PSP in mind and an updated control method for improved combat and more detailed exploration of the environment. The soundtrack for the game is being done by composer Akira Yamaoka.
