Your talking rubbish. Their main studio can only hold about 20 more people at a push, and their London studio, which is located in Kingston and not London is so small, they would be lucky to squeeze 10 etra people in there, let alone 70 more people.

This news appears to be from 2006, and no new news has emerged or has it? well I can tell you something new about Silent Hill Origins. The same people who made Ghost Rider for the Playstation 2 are now working on Silent Hill Origins. News is good, but this is bad news, as most of us already know, Ghost Rider sucked in a big way.

However, a rather good looking and playable version of this engine was posted on Gamespot as early as August 23, so the statement about the 'team not getting a working engine' until July is somewhat odd. Who was actually developing the PSP engine for the game if not the US studio programmers..?

Too often 'moles' are simply pissed-off former employees looking to make their alma mater look as bad as possible. I know the feeling - I've been laid off before. Most of us in the industry have, at one time or another.

I have this sneaking suspicion that the dire language here describing a 'hobbled', 'shriveled' and 'disastrous' project are somewhat colored by that sting of ego. And even if it is, the game's being handed off to the UK. If the major problem is level construction and gameplay length, that sounds like a pretty easy problem to fix if they throw some level designers and a few artists at it. *shrug*

Still looking forward to this (and the other upcoming PSP titles), regardless of how vogue it is right now to associate any Sony product news with doom & gloom.

The first time I played the game I recognized that some things didn't seem right with the game but I tried to ignore them and just enjoy it. After learning about the original concept for the game it became obvious that this game was not supposed to be part of the SH series.

The game has a completely different feel from the others in the series: environments are full-lit (no flashlight), the game plays in stages that must be traveled through several times, and the town of Silent Hill (old or new)is nowhere to be seen. I still think SH4 was a decent game, but I dont really consider it part of the mythos.

As far as this PSP version goes, I was pretty excited for it, but after learning about the issues its having, I'm pretty skeptical..

SH fandom aisde, the game itself is rather irritating to me because the second half is just repeating the first half. Sort of boring, as part of the previous 3 games' novelty was not knowing what to expect.

I was't expecting much from Silent Hill Origins as it's not being made by my beloved Team Silent... but I was still looking foreword to using my PSP for something again.

Also, SH4...what is everyone's problem with it?? It was, admittedly, my first foray into Silent Hill and so I have some of that, but it stands up just as well as the rest. I mean I liked SH2 a lot more and SH3 had its great moments, but everybody hates on SH4 like it was some pariah.

I hope that it turns into an OK game at least, since I love the series.
Now Konami, where's the remake for silent hill 1? ;)
