Silent Hill: Origins confirmed for PS2

PS2 News | The ports continue!

In December, we reported a rumour that the PSP horror game Silent Hill: Origins could very well be on its way to the PlayStation 2 in the future. Konami have officially confirmed that a port of Silent Hill: Origins is definitely in the works, reports VGGEN. This follows up the news that Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters will be ported to the PS2 as well.

"Console gamers can now expect the same chilling, suspenseful and fear-filled experience that handheld gamers encountered when we released Silent Hill Origins on the PSP system. This is their chance to learn more of the mystery and mythos surrounding Silent Hill that's been hinted at in earlier games and made the series such a success." says Anthony Crouts, Vice President of Marketing for Konami.

Given that the majority of the Silent Hill series has appeared on the PS2 in the past, it's not surprising that Konami would want to keep that userbase happy by porting the game over to the console.

Origins features a new character, Travis Grady, a trucker with a mysterious past who spends his life on the lonely roads. One night he passes the town of Silent Hill, and of course, that's when the trouble really begins. No release date has been given for the PS2 port, but we'll let you know as soon as it's nailed down. In the meantime, check out our review of the PSP version of the game.

I had my doubts for a little while there but I knew that they would port this to the PS2. This is excellent news in knowing that this is definitely being ported. Since I'm never going to get a PSP I'm loving these PS2 ports.
