post from nintendo nsider boards:

A spanish gaming site has revealed that Silent Hill 5 Will be Exclusive to the revolution. Here is what they had to say, and if any one knows spanish it would be great to translate it!!!!

"A Konami Computer Entertainment Japão e a Nintendo anunciaram ontem o desenvolvimento de “Silent Hill 5” para o novo console da companhia japonesa, o Revolution. Apesar de todos acreditarem que a nova edição deste trailer de horror chegaria com exclusividade para PS3, parece que a equipe da Konami foi seduzida pelo inovador controle do Revolution.Segundo Akira Yamaoka, produtor da série: “Estamos empolgados com as grandes possibilidades do novo controle. Acreditamos que a série Silent Hill dará um grande salto e o Revolution é a solução para concretizarmos nossos planos inovadores”.Silent Hill 5 será lançado com exclusividade para Nintendo Revolution. As primeiras imagens serão publicadas, segundo Yamaoka, durante a Eletronic Entertainment Expo (E3) que acontecerá no mês de maio de 2006."

Wasn't expecting that!

same here

a nice shocking suprise, IMO itll be something like what resident evil 4 was to the gamecube probably

[Tejstar]

I wonder how long it'll be an exclusive.

Or it could be a case that they are implementing a new control system which will make it difficult to replicate on other platforms?

[oxygenuk]

exactly, because with these exclusive titles half of them surely will not be possible to port to the ps3/xbox etc due to revolutions unique controller

just a thought

[Tejstar]

But I wonder whether Ninty will release dual control systems, for people who prefer a more conventional interface.

tbh they should have made an all out attempt for Resi evil series to be exclusive. i feel silent hill is a poor mans Resi Evil, its an ok game but not as special as RE, imo of course. I dont think it will be missed on other system.

saying that not many titles stick exclusively to one console so it will probably end up being ported to another system

This doesn't seem very plausable now, since it hasn't appeared on any major gaming sites in english yet

I wouldn't trust the original article too much - after all, they've claimed to have gotten the news from a Spanish gaming site.

Sadly, the language the article's written in is Portuguese. Bit more journalistic research needed next time, fellas.

I love Silent Hill even if the last one was a little off, it reminds me of a Stephen King book especially the first one!
