Watch 8 minutes of a Silent Hill game we never got - and no, it's not that one

I know, I know. The sting of Silent Hills' cancellation still weighs heavy. But these things happen, more often than we know. For example, did you know that Climax Studios, the developer behind Silent Hill: Origins and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, had a concept and pitch for a PS3 entry in the long-running franchise? It never got a proper title, but YouTube channel PtoPOnline still managed to get a hold of some gameplay footage:

Sadly, the game never progressed beyond this stage. When Konami declined to back the project, Climax dropped the Silent Hill name and tried to sell it as an episodic adventure called Broken Covenant. That too fell through, and what you see above is all that will likely ever come of the team's work.

Sorry, not a lot of Silent Hill-related stories have had happy endings lately.
