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. However the sales are Japan are unimpressive. It does have a large installed based in the West though which will be looked at... This by no means says we will not consider the idea [putting it on the Wii] but the general opinion is that Wii is for family games, and I'm sure the fans don't play Silent Hill with their grandma! ...Nintendo Wii would be easier to make for but the control scheme would be hard to implement in a Silent Hill game.
Sounds we're looking at a PS3 version with an Xbox 360 port.
