Though we weren't able to get a peek at the gameplay in the trailer, it seems that a closer, over-the-shoulder camera - ala Resident Evil 4 - is being adopted. What won't be adopted is that game's action-packed gameplay; Silent Hill Origins should stay as slow-paced and disturbing as ever, and Travis will pack weapons "unique to truckers" - hopefully it's not toxic gas from eating in one too many greasy truck stops.
It's far too early to tell if Silent Hill Origins will live up to the freaky legacy of the last four games. With a seemingly endless ability to bring forth the darkest and weirdest moments in gaming, the series has a lot to live up to. However, it's obvious from the trailer and our talk that there's an understanding and respect for the series here. Whether or not its bizarre charms can be teased out of the PSP... we'll see as it shambles closer to release.
