The Original "Silent Hill Origins" | Climax LA's Vision

[@bloodrunsclear]

This is one of those instances where the game we got is actually better than the beta in my opinion. Origins on the PSP is MUCH closer to the psychologic and subtler roots of the series. Still...VERY nifty ideas O_o

[@Bambuzzsprosse]

You know....it's actually pretty normal that the game you get in the end is better than the beta.

[@cappedminer369]

out of all the games not made by team silent, climax managed to make the best

[@PtoPOnline]

I agree

[@Vokoca]

Hahaha now I really wish that Solid Snake UFO ending was real, just for how unbelievably bizarre it sounds. Great work on the vide, some really interesting stuff there! I think it's safe to say we're all glad this isn't the Origins we ended up getting.

[@TheLuckyDingo]

I'm so glad you do the things you do. Thank you for preserving video game history, my friend!

[@PtoPOnline]

Thank you!

[@MrMario2011]

Great video! Fascinating to see the level of detail on these.

[@PtoPOnline]

I try anyway hah

[@li_B4shar_il]

Didn't expect you here MrMario

[@PtoPOnline]

Reuploaded with no music. Old video is still unlisted and on the website for those of you who are confused.

[@PtoPOnline]

Ill see if I can figure out how it works :)

[@DrAliWD]

one of my favorite games on psp and silent hill in general

[@ioannisgiannis5865]

Some crazy guy led me here. He keeps insisting PT is a collection of bad dreams of MGS characters.....yeah

[@felipepenaylillo8461]

lol me too. it supose origins was a mgs game at the begining? lol that guy is nuts

[@PtoPOnline]

The original UFO ending for Origins was to have it be a MGS dream. That's it, and it didn't happen.

[@theboone3848]

These videos you have made are fascinating. I love seeing games in a early state, it's interesting to see the development path.

[@UnabridgedGamer]

Masterfully done as always! An intriguing dive into the history behind SH:O.

[@Esc_apist]

It turns out that Sam Barlow first wanted to make Travis a butcher who, under the influence of "PTV," killed ordinary people. This makes Travis go crazy. Is that why Travis' mother wanted to kill him as a child? Or was his parents' story quickly made up after the KONAMI corrections, and they are two different stories that are not connected in any way?

[@jamezcunningham8906]

It looks like one of those videogames in movies xD

[@marcellusdrum738]

Great video and very intresting info. Thanks for making this!

[@Visuwyg]

Cool Video! I really like Silent Hill: Origins on PSP and I was keen to see more of the first iteration. Interesting to see what was kept for the overhaul. How do you find these old builds?

[@PtoPOnline]

Its different for every game on the channel really.

[@CaptainMehdi]

Well the game was kinda beautiful for a psp version !

[@speedwagoncito]

Great video. Thanks a lot for sharing all this material!! Can't wait to see more of this stuff sometime! I just have one question about what you mentioned in this video. At some point, when talking about the Bad ending, was Travis really supposed to become Pyramid Head in the demo? I mean, I've only seen the endings in the official game and he seems to actually become the Butcher in that ending (as he's seen wearing the butcher's apron, half-helmet, etc). I know lots of things changed when Konami handed the project to the guys at Climax UK, so maybe Climax LA's original plans were having him turn into PH?

[@PtoPOnline]

Thats what the design document says, yes.

[@speedwagoncito]

Really? Woah. Can't say I'm disappointed, tho, to be honest as I've always been against the idea of using PH over and over again (James' version, at least). Thanks a lot for the info!

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

i like how stuff from this ended up in shattered memories

[@matias3924]

How did you get all the materiaL?

[@TXFDA]

Just downloaded the prototypes. It's so much fun playing a prototype on real hardware. I mean ok, I'm on a Vita, but still...

[@aleeg966]

Good lord is that a lot of frames per second! Loved this video though.

[@DarkSorrowDark_Sorrow]

Where did you get this demo? I have only the prototype demo from the Leipziger Gamesconvention from 2006. Thats so awesome damn

[@PtoPOnline]

I have everything that is left from this project. Both earlier and later builds, Leipzig was purchased from stuff I found.

[@MaximBG]

Concept art looks pretty good

[@shannongia]

Awesome vid. I can't believe how terrible this game first looked. Origins is a masterpiece.

[@Stigmatix666]

The first version looked horrid! Origins is okay, far from a masterpiece though. The plot doesn't know whether to focus on Travis' or Alessa's story, thus making it neither of the 2. We learn absolutely nothing new about Alessa's story in 0rigins, so the whole prequel thing could easily have been scrapped in favor of a fully fleshed story about Travis. Just my 2 cents ;)

[@Rilumai]

A masterpiece? Origins completely contradicts the original story and it's not scary since the player is able to control when they wanted to go to the Otherworld. I'd say it turned out to be one of the worst Silent Hill games.

[@Stigmatix666]

***** Never said it was a masterpiece. far from it. It is, however better than The Room..

[@Rilumai]

Stigma I was responding to the OP's comment. And at least The Room makes sense.

[@Asterion608]

Origin's history is garbage indeed, is based on the movie after all. Being able to switch between worlds is just a matter of tastes, I think is was a good variant for the other games, not a big deal but doesn't taint the game. But for the rest, the game was really well made.

[@midnightotherworld8056]

Hope you read this, I've seen claims online that in Climax LA's Origins, there was supposed to be an origin story for Pyramid Head where he used to be a human cannibal cook in the motel/hotel Judging from this video it doesn't seem like it, but do you know anything to confirm/deconfirm that?

[@PtoPOnline]

Pyramid Head was scrapped fairly early, essentially becoming the Butcher in the meat packing plant. The Butcher was meant to be a sort of precursor to Pyramid Head. One of the endings also saw Travis going mad and becoming Pyramid Head.

[@nurshuhadahanilamusu7983]

Where do you find this footage at 5:37?

[@PtoPOnline]

On my computer

[@nurshuhadahanilamusu7983]

What do you mean?

[@nurshuhadahanilamusu7983]

Can you show me the full ending in 12:11?... If showing the ending was illegal or something don't show the ending for me okay...

[@windowpeeper]

can you make one off shattered memories?

[@PtoPOnline]

I unfortunately don’t have a ton for it

[@MiloKuroshiro]

Alessa wanting revenge and multiple dimensions are such misunderstanding from the plot of the first game...

[@TheLuckyDingo]

Right??? I played the first four games (those graphics and environments are so good, even a chicken like me had to check them out) and from what I understood, Alessa just wanted to gtfo. Of course, I'm REALLY bad at mysteries and symbolism and such, so assumed I was wrong.

[@MiloKuroshiro]

+DINGO! The release of the nightmare was all an accident on Alessa's part. She even try to seal it again in her mind through all the first game drawing seals all over the town. All the confusing retcons and misconceptions that climax had doing Origins really make me sad. And almost all the old weird points on this build relating to the story kinda still on the final release sadly. Alessa isn't a vingative psycho little girl like in the movies..

[@Stigmatix666]

Alessa wanting revenge is from the first movie and has nothing to do with the games, true. However, there are undoubtedly multiple dimensions in the games..

[@MiloKuroshiro]

+Stigma nope. There's only our reality and Alessa's nightmare. We only presence the Nightmare world invading and influencing ours. There's no dimensions.

[@Stigmatix666]

[@FEAR2009ful1]

This is amazing! i'm seeing parts of the first version of Silent Hill Origins that i could never find,yeah the game graphically wasn't that good,but it had very interesting elements that the final version do not have. How did you get all this material? it's amazing!

[@PtoPOnline]

It's what I do :)

[@wishingstar8701]

Can you do one for Silent Hill Cold heart?

[@PtoPOnline]

I have some plans for that, not much to say but I do have some in progress shots

[@Louis-wp3fq]

Travis as the/a origin of Pyramid Head is such a terrible idea. I'm glad they reconsidered. The Butcher was a clear knockoff of Pyramid Head, but I give Climax UK credit for at least not reusing Pyramid Head again. All of these post-SH4 "fan games" struggled to live up to the series' legacy while not really innovating at all. Origins was the best of them, and it wasn't great. I think I'm glad the IP is dead.

[@iREVOLTER]

That framerate tho.

[@karially3820]

Silent Hill Origins its a good game #ChangeMyMind

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

I deny Origins as a Silent Hill game in every sense of the word, but I must admit that this was a very informative video, thank you :)

[@PtoPOnline]

Thank you!

What are resident evil monsters doing in silent hill? 😜😜😜
