How long will it take to complete? Any replay value?

ClarkyCat @ Oct 25th 2007 7:18PM

Are there multiple endings? If so, how many?
Which other games in the series does 0rigins have ties to?
Will the soundtrack be released seperately?
Will the Butcher figurine available for people who preorder in Japan be available in the US/EU?
If sales are good, are there plans for another PSP installment?
A lot I know, I just hope one of them gets picked :)

SlickD @ Oct 25th 2007 7:20PM

Will there be UFO ending?

Budman @ Oct 25th 2007 7:46PM

Will either Walter Sullivan or that wierd Hope House cult be featured in this game?

LAZoftheTamarinds @ Oct 25th 2007 8:18PM

3 questions:

-Have the controls changed to accommodate the PSP?

-Will there ever be a demo either disc or downloadable?

-Will SH:Origins have some sort of connectivity with Silent Hill V PS3?

maskedrose @ Oct 25th 2007 8:26PM

I just wanna know if it will be on PS3, because if so, I'd rather wait for that.

willxcore @ Oct 25th 2007 8:45PM

What are some things that we can expect to return to this game that we are familiar with from the rest of the series?

What about brand new aspects?

Psi @ Oct 25th 2007 9:02PM

- Has Team Silent contributed to the main plot and story of 0rigins, or was it written by Climax Studios?

b.faber @ Oct 25th 2007 9:25PM

1. Is there any plans to port or remake silent hill 1 & 2 for the psp?

I 100% plan to buy SH0 and i'll gladly fork out the cash now for a remake of sh1 and a port of sh2 (I love both to death)!!!!!!

hiberphoptik @ Oct 25th 2007 9:47PM

Is the main character a redneck? If so WHY oh god WHY

Jose El Maton @ Oct 25th 2007 9:57PM

I wanted to know of any pre-order goodies, particularly if there will be an art book, those things are cool.

psfan @ Oct 25th 2007 10:09PM

I would like to second the remake idea of silent hill 1 and 2 for psp.

I have no other questions i have no doubt in my mind that this game will be worthy of the name silent hill.

I'm a big fan of everything silent. keep making them and i will keep buying them.

Hashbrown_Hunter @ Oct 25th 2007 11:19PM

I would like to ask if the game utilizes the PSP's 333MHz processing speed or not seeing as how it is a non-multiplayer game.

I'd also like to ask if there will be any downloadable content for the game and if the game has any connectivity bonuses with Silent Hill V for PS3.

You guys are getting some fantastic exclusives. You are probably the best PSP site out there right now. Thanks PSP Fanboy!

Joe @ Oct 25th 2007 11:26PM

I know the pyramid Head guy was in SH2 but is there any chance He will be in this version.

Is this using the 333MHz.

I heard that SH5 for the 360 and PS3 will take place in day light to scare you will this game too.

Any chance of people from past SH games. Even though this one come first it would still be a neat thing.

Will there be any Easter eggs.

I also want to say the game looks great and I can't wait to play this. So keep up the good work.

Another thing not having any thing to do with SH but another game is Climax making a new Landstaker game or remake. I am not even sure this is your studio or not.

But on the Climax site for Japan there is a listing for a LS game for the PSP and I just what to know if this is true or not. Because if this game is getting remade that would be great.

Again good luck with SH on the PSP and I hope it sells alot.

cafecito @ Oct 26th 2007 1:32AM

From what I've seen of Silent Hill Origins, the game looks technically impressive; it seems the team really knows how to squeeze the PSP's power. With that in consideration: Does Climax have any plans to continue development on PSP after Origins?

It's always good to have such skilled teams backing up our portable.

russtophiles @ Oct 26th 2007 8:40AM

What themes can we expect in the story? Silent Hill's characters have mostly had a very iconic and symbolic nature, does Origins continue this trend? Would you say Origins attempts to evolve the Silent Hill franchise or provide a predictably similar but satisfying game for series fans?

And finally, not really a question but I'd have to one up the request for a console release. Not saying I won't get the PSP version but I have a much greater urge to 'wait and see' for a console port of some kind .

panzerdrako @ Oct 26th 2007 10:02AM

the pre-order will give us a peek to the ost?
will be a oficial released for the ost?

i hope the usa version has the text -al least- in spanish ...

some of us in america hablamos español ...

Joseph @ Oct 26th 2007 10:14AM

Is this kinda' a Resisdent Evil 4?

Tanya @ Oct 26th 2007 10:32AM

I can't wait to get this game!
#1. Like what was done with SH3 and 4, will you be including the soundtrack to SH:O with the game or through a pre-order?

#2. Are you guys going to launch and official website for the game? I was curious because the game is coming out soon and the SH:O section on the American Konami site hasn't been updated in a long time.

#3. Will there be unlockables like alternate costumes, characters, special weapons?

#4 Which parts/areas of Silent Hill will Travis be visiting (Old & Central Silent Hill, New Silent Hill)? And what new locations will we see?

and one more question for fun...
#5 Is Travis going to put his hand inside a dirty toilet bowl? ^_^

Thanks for your time and keep up the great work!

Zach S @ Oct 26th 2007 1:01PM

The only survival-horror game I've played (and also really, really enjoyed) is RE4 - previously I had avoided other survival-horror games because I hate not having some control over the camera angle - I don't need to be trying to shoot from 5 different angles because everywhere I move the camera keeps changing!!!

So, is the camera in this game closer to RE4, or is it a more "traditional" camera system? Or is it something else?

merc25 @ Oct 26th 2007 5:55PM

Is the weapon durability system still in the game? If so are the ways to repair a broken weapon? Does this system also apply to guns, the same it applies to melee weaponry?

Will new comers to the series enjoy this game, or is the game strictly something only the fans of series will enjoy?

How did you feel about the demo being leaked? Did the leak have any affect on the development of the game? There were rumors that it contain the endings of the game on it(I never checked, didn't want to spoil anything for myself). If so, did you rewrite the endings, add or remove an ending, after the leak?

Will there be a new demo or will be the same as the leaked one? If there will be a demo, will it be on an UMD or downloadable?

Joe, Climax Group, the developers of this game, are based in the UK. Whereas Climax Entertainment, developers of Land Stalker, are based in Japan.

Brian @ Oct 26th 2007 6:31PM

1. How close will origins be to te original Silent hill game, in terms of returning characters, environments, themes?

2. Looking at the videos and screen shot (which look amazing btw) how does the game control (character and camera)?

3. Is Silient Hill Origins on PSP going to connect to Silent Hill 5 on PS3 to offers some kind of game sharing or cross com like Socom Fire team bravo did?

4. Does the game take advantage of the increased intern memory of the PSP slim?

5. Know you hear this a lot, but how was it to develop a game on the PSP, what were some of the hardware / software limits the team had to overcome?

Thanks for bring Silent Hill to the PSP I'm looking forward to playing it.

stormsiren006 @ Oct 26th 2007 6:58PM

I am curious about 0rigin's promise to reveal many of the "most hallowed" secrets of the Silent Hill series. Can you give us any more information or hints about what kind of secrets are going to be revealed?

murphy @ Oct 26th 2007 7:20PM

any chance of there being a special edition of the game maybe with a comic of silent hill O or a soundtrack or action figures that would be cool.

cafecito @ Oct 26th 2007 10:48PM

A request: Keep this on PSP please! No ports. PSP can always use this great exclusives.

aiko.adonia @ Oct 27th 2007 2:25AM

what's the deal with the weapons this time around? I read somewhere that the breakage rate is really irritatingly fast and can somewhat put a damper on gameplay. is that true? do the weapons really self-destruct that quickly?

dahaipeng @ Oct 27th 2007 3:39AM

THE Alien is from the UFO?

NeVeR @ Oct 27th 2007 4:33AM

Do U have any hidden areas in Silent Hill Origins?
If U have,are there any powerful weapons or any humor tools that we could use in Silent HIll Origins?
(Tell me these areas,I won't tell anybody,Thanks very much!! ~^@^~)

perfectjay @ Oct 27th 2007 7:02AM

Excuse me,how many kinds of weapons,and special weapons?

C. @ Oct 27th 2007 1:13PM

Why does Origin have to be on PSP? Will it be on any other system?

Frastoglegnia @ Oct 28th 2007 6:26AM

Question 14 asked whether Pyramid Head is in this game. Your inclusion of a Pyramid Head action figure in the SHO preorder package for Japan suggests he is, but leads to a newer question:

A Konami rep has told me there are no plans to include Pyramid Head in the SHO preorder package. If not, then will the figure be offered as a separate item for sale to U.S. preorder customers and Konami subscribers? Including extras with U.S. preorders might result in greater support for certain kinds of games -- especially niche Survival Horror games. If you're not going to offer Japanese extras to the U.S. for free, you could at least make a profit (and new friends) by offering them separately.
