Silent Hill: Origins

This game is a prequel, set 7 years before the first game, and intended to explain the series's eponymous town's backstory. Players will be playing 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. This control scheme has been chosen to optimize handheld play. A new feature allows the player to quickly switch their equipped weapon with the use of the D-pad. This feature has been implemented due to the breakable nature of the weapons. Silent Hill Origins follows the same basic formula of the previous titles in the series. It is shown from a third person perspective with alternating camera angles; however, rather than an option to move the camera around, the player can now press a single button to pan it behind Travis.
