Silent Hill 5 still a PS3 exclusive

[Havok83]

We haven't heard much about the next entry in the ultra-creepy Silent Hill franchise, but thanks to a recent interview in Electric Shock magazine with the game's chief director, Masashi Tsuboyama, we've got more info. The biggest tidbit from the discussion? Konami could be planning to make the game exclusive...provided the PS3 sells better.


A few things are pretty eye-catching, here. First of all, Konami and the team looked closely at all the consoles and found that none were able to fully support their idea for Silent Hill 5. Well, none except for the PS3. Tsuboyama said Blu-Ray is a "very necessary asset" in their development process, and he believes the system's processing power is "far beyond" that of the other consoles. Currently, they have no plans to bring the game multiplatform, although they may be forced down that road if PS3 sales don't improve.
We might be able to expect more info at E3, but for now, all of this is pretty encouraging for PS3 owners. It's another major developer saying Sony's system is head-and-shoulders above the competition in terms of power and potential, and if sales get better, we might be seeing more exclusives in the future. We'll keep you updated with any further Silent Hill 5 developments.

Thats interesting. I havent played through a SH game since the first one. Hopefully this one is good and actually changes things a bit

When is this coming out?

awesome... awesome to the max.

I love SH4, such an inspired concept. There has yet to be a disappointing Silent Hill. I mean, SH3 had it's moments... a couple in fact, but it was overall still a great game. I can't wait for the next one... or the next Film for that matter.

Also don't forget to VOTE:

That's cool, Origins is still coming for PSP and Resident Evil 5, Alone in the Dark and Alan Wake are all still coming for 360 so it's no huge loss...I would like to play it on my 360, but if not, it's not the end of the world either.

I wonder what they can really do to improve it THAT much graphics wise.

Better lighting sure, but Silent Hill 2 was lightyears ahead of anything at the time, what can SH5 do to continue the trend?

I just read in EGM that it's coming to 360 as well

Woot, another Silent Hill game. Even tho I liked the movie (not great, but not bad), I hope the game won't have any heavy influence from it. In the way that after a game series has a movie adaptation sometimes they wander closer to the movie version and farther from what brought it to the table.
