Translated from Gamefront.de by Leonhart of EE

"Silent Hill: Origins: Interview with William Oertel 03.12.06 - The “Play of magazines” led an interview with William Oertel of Climax, those for Konami at silent Hill: Origins work. The most important statements in the overview (thanks to inthezone): - The action was sketched not by team silent of Konami, but by Climax. - Original was planned that the play becomes a Remake of silent Hill 1. - There silent Hill: Origins temporally before silent Hill 1 acts, is the city silent Hill already somewhat transformed. It is not yet so far changed as in the PlayStation original, but it no more is normal. - At the end of silent Hill: Origins is to give it a connection to silent to Hill 1. - In an earlier version it was planned that one is established barricades and the monsters are stopped thereby. It was nearly like that something like its own puzzle element. Now the developers decided however that the barricades will not be contained: The installation would have stressed too much time and would have been complicated. In addition one wants to make a great silent Hill play and no great barricade play. - The flashlight participates again also, the radio with some changes will again emerge: In the discussion is a visual announcement. - The laser target acquisition was removed. For aiming the team invents another solution now. - Still one discusses like the administration of the articles functioned. The player is to have had to however always deposit everything not somewhere with itself and objects in crates, to which he must run back then. - The scene is mainly old silent Hill, not however the “Toluca Lake” - district. Further action places are the Alchemilla hospital, a hotel, theatre, a factory, in that meat are packed and a psychological institute. Oertel may not call a further place yet. - The sound TRACK covers 15 Songs and comes from composer Akria Yamaoka. - The producer would make silent Hill Origins also gladly for the PS2. - The level of development is with 70 per cent. - The releases: February 2007 (Europe)"
