In a recent interview with
Eurogamer,
Silent Hill: Origins producer William Oertel confirmed previous
rumors that the game met serious problems during its production. The solution, it appears, was to switch development teams altogether. "Game development isn't an exact science, and sometimes you need to go back and adjust some things. In this case, it has been for the best. It was decided that moving development to Climax's Portsmouth office would be best for the game, and that introduced delays."
As evidenced by the most recent
video footage, the game has certainly come a long way, and we're excited to find out more. It's clear that
Origins is in good hands, with the producers understanding what makes a
Silent Hill game so unique. "As I'm fond of saying,
Silent Hill is an exercise in subtlety, and therefore the changes seen in this game, compared to previous games, reflect that."

that would explain 1 year and half of being vapourware, but i'm glad they didn't just cancel the game altogether.

I'm glad to see they're taking their time making this right, and dealing with the issues arise. It makes me want to buy it and support efforts of people who actually care.
