Climax USA, a Santa Monica developer, was working on a a demo for a Silent Hill pitch for PS3. At that time, they were also responsible for
However, Konami handed over the development of a next-gen version to Double Helixe Studios. As we can see in the video, for this Silent Hill prototype Climax used the same protagonist from the PSP game (Travis). Keep in mind that this does not mean that Travis would have been in the final storyline, as this was just a tech demo to try to pitch for a full project and probably the story was not decided yet.
While Climax USA was closed during development of Silent Hill: Origins for PSP, the UK branch is rumoured to be in charge of a remake of Silent Hill 1 for PSP and Wii.

SHH (and SHO) is a bullshit. The TRU SH is by Team Silent only.

It looks like Silent Hill is forced into prostitution…
I mean, handing a project you created to others who, to say the least, don’t even know how to create the touch that Silent Hill Team previously had. All I can say, shame on you Team Silent, and take Hideo Kojima as your role model.

Travis looks really good! The surroundings are kind of awkward and really pre-production, but they have lots of potential. I’m just excited for another SH game. Maybe we can have another girl this time. lol
That “Team Silent” thing is crap. Yeah, TS was cool and had good stories, but SH1-SH4 weren’t perfect angels either. Don’t scapegoat the new installments because the original team abandoned the series.

Team Silent didn’t leave because they wanted to. It’s all thanks to Konami that threw them out. It’s been mentioned by an employee at Double Helix.
