Silent Hill 5 Multi-Platform?

In a recent interview with Japanese magazine Dengeki Playstation chief Silent Hill designer Masashi Tsuboyama recently talkedSilent Hill 5 - Namely platforms. In an age when all but first party games are going multi-platform, what does that mean for SH 5? Tsuboyama explains:

"We only have ideas but we have been assessing next-generation consoles such as Sony's Playstation 3... We have not decided the console yet... Silent Hill 1 to 3 have all been multi platform appearing on either Playstation 3, Xbox or PC. This was when we were working at DVD level with no HD needed. Mutli-Platform will be discussed but nothing is certain yet... The Xbox 360 is definatly a candidate."

To me it sounds like if the game does go Multi-Platform the lead game would be the PS3 and to me that is all that matters. I could care less if it ends up on the 360. Just as long as the PS3 version will be able to do things that it could not had it been on the 360.

[Honeal2g]

i hate people like you trying to justify a 200$ price difference by saying reckless statements "as long as the ps3 version will be able to do things the 360 cant"...come on seriously we all know that each system has there strong points what was the point of that statement?

[BlackIceJoe]

I am sorry I made you feel bad Honeal2g. All I was saying and it is easy to see at least I think so. That if it is leading on the PS3 it might use more of the PS3's features. Like there might be better lighting and textures. Nothing really that big just the little things. Also if it was leading on the 360 I would hope the same would be said for the 360 version. Because if one system is the lead there would be different things that might look better on that version and that is what I was saying.

[tehcellownu]

Exactly, as long the ps3 is the lead platform i can care less if it goes mulitplatform..they seem to be leaning towards the PS3 because of the space and how powerful the ps3 can be if used right..they even called the wii a family console and thats true..its more aimed for kids..

oh yeah silent hill was never exclusive..so xbots dont even bother..lol..

[God of Gaming]

I thought it always was on both? I remember previews on teamxbox.com a loooong time ago. I dont have super high hopes for the game though, seems like SH has struggled over the last few releases.

[dauden]

Old news .. Other than that, a good read.

Oh, did I mention Silent Hill 2 is my favourite game of all time and that I could kill to get my hands on this one?

[kamakazi]

i own every silent hill, never played them but my bro loves these games, hes even getting ORIGINS for the psp. silent hill 1 looks bad on the PS3 though :( i just love the creatures in these games.

[PS360WII]

This interview didn't say much other than they are thinking of putting Silent Hill on either PS3, 360, or Wii, or 2 of them, or.... well you get the idea. Funny how he meantioned the Wii of it. Saying it would be easy to put it out on the Wii just hard to use the controller. I don't know in the end this will most likly be a PS3/360 title. Didn't they already say it was for both? Is this interview after that statement?

[Phantom_Lee]

I think we had a similar article yesterday

[Bill Gates]

The Original Silent Hill is SO fuking scary to play, but then again so is Fatal Frame 2.

[Charlie2688]

when they will give us like...INFO on the game

other than the fact that is was officially confirmed and that the game was supposed to come in late 2007 there is NOTHING

I bet they are bluffing :P

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

ITs only a matter of time when blu ray space will shine rough...its even showed its head in the first year of the systems life..its a reason its HD..dosent fit on DVD simple and plain..

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

LOL Been playing that game for some time now LOL hope you PS3 fans don't go signing petitions for somthing we already had.

[Auron]

Silent Hill 2 (my Opinion) which was also on Xbox.

[Grown Folks Talk]

i'm covered. got both systems.

[socomnick]

I hope silent hill is multi platform. Amazing games and I have a new 1080p 50 inch tv and a new surround system waiting for it scare the crap outa me.

[rukusa]

Oh man this guy is not slipping any word on it, so much vague information.

[VORODOR 2]

With the way things are going for the 360 i'd say by the time this gets released they won't be able to fit it onto a Xbox disk, sorry hahaha not, PS3 exclusive mark my words!

[Rhezin]

ah I knew it

[HaKeRsCanRotINHEL]

Blu-Ray version! *_+

[BitbyDeath]

I can't wait to see what they have in store for us for the next game.

[Lord Anubis]

I really want to see what they do with the game, love to have more content on Blu-ray though.

This game has always been multiplatform. Kinda like the other Silent Hill games. It'd be a huge shock for this to just be for PS3. But if it's up for debate by the developer, then it'll either be PS3 as a lead platform, PS3 as a timed exclusive or both. No way they're gonna have this exclusive, and Konami really has been wanting to put out their multi titles with PS3 as the lead and on the PS3 first, so it makes sense.

[Robotz Rule]

LOL!

The only Silent Hill game to ever reach the Xbox was Silent Hill 4,all the ones before that were all Playstation:)

But yeah,It would be shocking to see Silent Hill 5 only hit the PS3.
