Silent Hill: Shattered Memories was originally a very different game. Konami was initially pitched “Silent Hill: Cold Heart” by developer Climax Studios.
Cold Heart did retain some elements from Shattered Memories such as themes of ice and cold. However, mostly everything else was changed. Combat, for instance – something absent from Shattered Memories – was planned for Cold Heart. The game also wasn’t originally intended to be a reimagining of the first Silent Hill.
Check out the gallery below for a look at Climax’s 14-page pitch to Konami.
Fluidity was a long time coming for Curve Studios. The company pitched various ideas to Nintendo since its creation in 2005, but it wasn’t until the 2008 Game Developers Conference that the WiiWare project began to take shape.
Curve’s design director Jonathan Biddle told EDGE this month:
“We had this idea for a game about water. We sat down with [Nintendo] and pitched a few things, and we didn’t think they’d liked any of them; they were quite po-faced about it, probably because they’d been sat in a room for a week listening to pitch after pitch.”
Nintendo reached out to Curve a few weeks later and offered to pay the studio to develop an “experiment”. As it turns out, it wasn’t too often that Nintendo accepted pitches.
Last month, Famitsu conducted a poll on its website about the year 2014. The results were published in the magazine’s most recent issue.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
Looks like the Pac-Man exploit in Smash Bros. can be beaten after all! You’ll just need to use R.O.B. to take down the competition.
It’s been awhile since we last posted about the Super Mario 64 fan remake – almost a year! However, the project seems to have progressed quite a bit since then. You can get a look at where the game is at currently in the video above.
