News: Konami confirms the game will make the PSP-to-PS2 jump.

After a few weeks of speculation, Konami has confirmed that Silent Hill Origins will indeed be making the jump from the PSP to the PS2 sometime in 2008. Now when are they going to confirm the Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3-to-Xbox 360 port that gamers have been speculating about for years (kidding fanboys, kidding)?

If you missed Silent Hill Origins on the PSP last year, here's a quick rundown on the game's plot and a few gameplay details:

Players take on the role of Travis Grady, a lone truck driver making a routine delivery when he makes an unfortunate detour to the mysterious town of Silent Hill. Players must help Travis escape the city's horrific inhabitants and unravel the mystery of the strange hallucinations from Travis' past, visions that have plagued him since childhood.

Updated controls maximize combat, allowing Travis to use his fists, his wits and an array of weapons including a meat cleaver, pool cue and sledgehammer to fight his way through the nightmarish world of Silent Hill and face multiple endings based on his actions.

"Console gamers can now expect the same chilling, suspenseful and fear-filled experience that handheld gamers encountered when we released Silent Hill Origins on the PSP system," said Anthony Crouts, Vice President of Marketing for Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. "This is their chance to learn more of the mystery and mythos surrounding Silent Hill that's been hinted at in earlier games and made the series such a success."

We'll have more on Silent Hill Origins soon.
