There are three primary components to The Silent Hill Experience:
- The comic content will feature a new book written by longtime Silent Hill author Scott Ciencin and illustrated by Steve Perkins and Alex Shibao. Based on the upcoming film’s story and delving into the origins of Silent Hill, the comic will be designed specifically for viewing on the PSP system. It will include animated panes and interactive transitions for an enhanced experience. In addition to the new Silent Hill comic, the UMD will also include the acclaimed comic series “Dying Inside,” naturally optimized and adapted for viewing on the PSP system.
- The music content will include a selection of songs from the previous four Silent Hill video games. A total of twenty hit tracks, chosen by Akira Yamaoka, famed music director and composer for the Silent Hill series, will be included on the PSP system UMD.
- The video content will include an interview with Mr. Yamaoka, where he explains why he selected specific songs for The Silent Hill Experience. In addition, the product will also feature an exclusive interview with Christophe Gans, director of the upcoming Silent Hill motion picture, where he discusses adapting the Silent Hill story for the big screen. Other video content will include a featurette on the film, a theatrical trailer and the opening cinematics from all four titles in the Silent Hill video game series.
The Silent Hill Experience, a first of its kind product for the PSP system, will be released in April 2006 to coincide with the film’s theatrical release.
