London (England) - A demo for the upcoming PSP Silent Hill game has
illegitimately made its way to the public, available to download from
the PSP's mobile Internet browser.
Konami's Silent Hill Origins, developed by Climax and set to be
published by Konami, is the first entry in the survival horror series
for Sony's portable system. An unofficial demo of the game is now
available from various websites, causing a stir from those on the
inside.
Climax blames Konami for the leak. "That code did not leak from
Climax, 100% guaranteed," said Climax CEO Karl Jeffrey in a
GamesIndustry.biz story. "The code that is out there is fingerprinted
and was supplied solely to Konami for marketing purposes."
Well over 1000 downloads of the leaked demo have been reported.
Though Sony has offered virtually no official applications through the
PSP's Wi-Fi capabilities, independent programmers have made use of the
built-in Internet browser as a way to download unofficial content
directly onto the system.
Silent Hill Origins is slated for release on November 6.
