Climax Studios CEO Karl Jeffery has something to say about the leaked demo of Silent Hill Origins that has been made playable on homebrew-capable PlayStation Portables. The game demo, initial reports mentioned, was smuggled during the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany.

Jeffery told online site Games Industry that the stolen demo didn't come from their studio because what was shown at the event belongs to Konami. The CEO explained, "All I can say is that code did not leak from Climax - 100 per cent guaranteed. The code that is out there is fingerprinted and was supplied solely to Konami for marketing purposes".

Karl Jeffery mentioned that the leak first appeared on torrent sites last August 19 and was literally devoured by PSP users. One unnamed site, according to reports, enjoyed more than 1,200 downloads during the outbreak. Why did this happen? Climax Studios doesn't know for sure but the CEO said that this has never happened to them before.

"At Climax we have strong and proven security procedures that protect all of our code, assets, and builds. We have developed over 100 titles in 20 years in business and have never had a leak or theft from inside the company", said Jeffery. Silent Hill Origins is expected to officially hit retail stores later this year.

I'm still buying it. The game will be kickass, I didn't know it was leaked either but the demo is amazing. The lighting effects, I never thought I'd see those kind of graphics on the PSP. (Although Tomb Raider Anniversary did a nice job with the scale of the scenary) but it'll still be sweet.

 » The FULL code was leaked....
As the title states, not just Demo code was stolen, but supposedly the WHOLE game was leaked. There's just some restrictions imposed in the code that confine you to the hospital area. How come QJ didn't make an article on THAT?

If that's true it makes sense why the demo is 650 MB.
