Video Emerges For Unreleased PS3-Exclusive ‘Silent Hill’ Game

Published

on

It’s hard to talk about the Silent Hill franchise without feeling stirrings of anger and incredulity at Konami, the company that released all of the games in the series. After they unceremoniously cancelled Silent Hills, the company then shifted its focus to mobile and pachinko (I’m not joking) games, leaving fans of the company in the dirt and skyrocketing to the top of the most hated video game company list.

The last entries in the Silent Hill franchise where Book of Memories for the PS Vita, which I never played, and Silent Hill: Downpour, which I thought was a fantastic sequel and one that ranks as one of the better entries. Hell, I’d even rank it in the top 4, possibly the top 3 of the series if I’m feeling generous. But it’s been over four years since the release of that game and I, along with many other fans, are desperate for a new title, a new way to enter that foggy town.

Today brings a video that shows there might’ve been another game in the series, one that would’ve been a PS3 exclusive. Tentatively titled Silent Hill: Broken Covenant, it was being developed by Climax, the studio that developed Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and Silent Hill: Origins. Footage of the unreleased game has been released and can be seen below.

The gameplay shows a character, Origins‘ Travis, who was used for the purpose of the pitch demo, walking through an asylum. The twist here is that the game doesn’t take place in Silent Hill itself. Rather, it takes place in a town in Arizona and idea is that Alessa’s influence has begun to spread far beyond the borders of Silent Hill, infecting the world around it. There are some rather fascinating concepts that were going to be utilized or, at the very least, attempted with the game and it’s a shame that it didn’t get made.

After watching the video, let me know what you thought of it and the ideas that were being bandied about!

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
