The only music I heard, that I can recall, was during the opening cut scene which you can hear in the nine minute IGN clip. The rest of my play was all the creepy sounds we're used to.
In a 9 min long trailer I can hear Your Rain from SH4 OSTs and a track called The Day of night from SH2 OST so this means there may be more of sucha 'flashbacks', like for instance SH1 ambiences also heard as Travis walks into the house. But from the trailer its hard to make a diffrence between added BGMs and originals. 8th probably was too excited with everything going on around her to remember each particular ambient sounds :)

How is the level design?

See any classic locals in the streets?

How are the overall quality of graphics and sound?

>How is the level design?
What do you specifically mean?

>See any classic locals in the streets?
Honestly, I didn't pay that close attention. All the streets were blocked off immediately so I didn't look around and there really wasn't much to see. Plus, I wanted to get as much game play in as possible and wasn't sure how much time I was going to have during play.

>How are the overall quality of graphics and sound?
I'm pleasantly surprised. The graphics are phenomenal and the sound quality was as good as it can get for a hand held. I brought headphones and never put them on as I was immediately engulfed by the game. I can only imagine what it'll sound like with my Bose headphones.

By the way, I have a few pictures to post, so hang tight everyone.

Indeed, I must ask, how is the music? Any catchy songs from Akira throughout your SH:O experience?

I read on gamefaqs i think, that Akira has composed 15 brand new songs for SH Origins and is borrowing a few others from past games and putting them in Origins.

Going to need a pair of headphones for that, the tiny PSP speakers wont cut it.

Nice pictures!

I can see it with eyes closed
Shadows that look like blood
Dead as far as the mind goes
Fear that comes from my head
Lives in the mirror"
