Akira Yamaoka talks about Silent Hill 5
We came across some good news for horror/survival fans today. In a recent interview with GamePro, Akira Yamaoka revealed a few of their plans for the next installment in Konami‘s popular Silent Hill series. Yamaoka producer the PC version of Silent Hill 3 and also worked as a sound director on the series.
According to Yamaoka, Silent Hill 5 will more or less resemble Silent Hill 2 ” in the terms of the way the player is directed and the characters’ behavior.” There’s also a strong chance that the game will be losing the camera angle used in Silent Hill: Origins. “I like it and agree with the choice for the [PSP], but I don’t think that’s the camera angle we want on a home console,” said Yamaoka. “That way you don’t see enough of the surroundings that really mean a lot to the player in Silent Hill.”
As for which console the game will be released on, Yamaoka said that while details have yet to be finalized, they are currently thinking of putting the next canon game on next gen consoles like the PS3 and Xbox 360. “We have had a good past experience with Playstation,” said Yamaoka, “and we hope to continue that trend, but there are no definite plans as of yet.”
