The screens I’ve seen are definitely in the spirit of the earlier titles, but also seem to make a generational leap, sporting a lot more detail than previous Silent Hill titles. The new, US-based team working on this one is the same team that handled Silent Hill: Origins for PSP, but that title received a port-up to PS2 and really isn’t a good indicator of how awesome the work they’re doing on SH:H is looking.

I’m glad to see that, in the absence of Team Silent, the series is still in good hands and isn’t likely to devolved into a Resident Evil clone any time soon. With Silent Hill: Homecoming, Alone In the Dark, and a new Resident Evil all announced for this year, it seems like a survival horror renassaince is in the making on next-gen platforms.

Now all we can pray for is that Tecmo’s Fatal Frame series soon makes the leap to PS2 as well. Those progesterone-dependant Japanese gals with soul-cameras in tow are always great at delivering the chills!
