Silent Hill - Origins DEMO leaked to P2P

[liquitt]

This morning a DEMO Version of the highly anticipated 5th part of the Silent Hill series appeared on the demonoid tracker.

Seems to be real.

//edit, this should've been in gaming...oops ^^

[Xenogears V]

Probabily fake!.

[liquitt]

nope, i'm playing it now 3 hours straight :D

[Xenogears V]

:eek: Really?, 3 hours gameplay for only a demo!?! :eek::confused::confused::confused::confused:

[Uba_Noob]

Wow please post a link to this torrent.:eek:

EDIT: This seems more of a full game here. The file is like 680mb. Demos for psp are more like 10mb. I smell a rat.:confused:

[PlayWithMe]

Dunno if this one is a demo or full, but the main screen shows demo, so it may could be one. And it's not a fake. It's a multilanguage demo... :)

[liquitt]

well, it freezed two times and i paused it too long...which ends up in being kicked back to the main menu :P

great game...and yes, even tho it is a demo, it hast 615MB

if this would be full game, i wouldn't buy it, since you can't load a game :D :D

c'mon guys, open your eyes

[tomian]

thanks for info.
So its probably demo that will be showed @ games convention in Leipzig. :-P

[NekoFever]

I've seen a Sony rep (the kind that visits all the stores in a certain area) with this demo on UMD, so I'd assume that's the source at some point along the line.

[Xenogears V]

680mb for a demo, too seems me, I would not it is the complete game and to enter in the piracy.

680 Mb even compressed also in rar, and therefore we arrive to a beautiful giga.

[Uba_Noob]

I think this is a beta. Pausing crashes it and you carn't load a game. Plus its the size of a full game. Nice to see sony using cso compression though:D

Is not a fake then?.

[liquitt]

no and i already told you before

actually, it's very short, like 40 minutes or maybe an hour...but 615MB for that? ouch...are they planning to do a 2 UMD game? :P

[Xenogears V]

Ok, ok. Verify that it is a demo exists a link type rapidshare ect ect, where downlaod it?.

[liquitt]

pf go find it yourself, i won't post warez links here...

and stick your nose into some english books from time to time

[jinqui242]

There is 183 MB worth of videos in there, but most of them are very short and small. Someone posted the UFO ending link in the GameFAQs Silent Hill Origins message board.

[Xenogears V]

I am going to search for it...

[milkawax]

Best game i've played on psp....

Never seen before - very good control - good camera - looks fuckin great

[BoBo5]

The best game, I've ever played on PSP.


But I have one question: how can I load my saved games?

[Xenogears V]

I got it, I am going to try it...

[jinqui242]

The graphics are about as good as the Syphon Filter games and the framerate is incredibly smooth, unlike PS2 ports like Tomb Raider Legend.

[liquitt]

But I have one question: how can I load my saved games?

you can't - thats it...gotta play trough in one try...not that hard tho, maybe 40 minutes ;)

[BoBo5]

OK. Thanks. We can save, but we can't load it, it is a weird thing.:):)

[MonochromeNight]

Hi guys, I started writing a paragraph in the Silent Hill: Origins article on Wikipedia about this demo leak.
Could all of you that have tested the game (like me) help me expand this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Hill:_Origins#Demo_Leak

Edit: cool, some asshole deleted it.

[jhiddink]

i've got a exemple of this demo!

there are two files:
eboot.pbp +/- 380 MB
silent hill.dat +/- 1 KB

i dont know how to start this game/demo?

\psp\game\????
\psp\game150\????
\psp\game352\????

must i put thse two files there?

[alcaholjunkie]

jhiddink: The demo is an iso image, and is put in the same place as other iso images of games. ^_^

Oke thx i'm already downloading the iso file!
thx

[Xenogears V]

Wow, work, great game, surely I will buy it.

Genial the effect that seems to see an old film and the shadow that is created with the enemy before and really realistic.

Perhaps the camera are scarce, there is not a lot of choice, and wound the camera it goes crazy, however we have to keep in mind that is only a demo.

[Xenogears V]

There is 183 MB worth of videos in there, but most of them are very short and small. Someone posted the UFO ending link in the GameFAQs Silent Hill Origins message board.

Why not attach the link?.

I hope that someone invents the cheats code with the weapons.

[Inu268]

Yes it is. I deleted 160MB of maps and models and textures that aren't in the demo, 41MB of ingame cutscenes 180MB of CG. Proof is a part of the filelist for SH.ARC (there are 1174 files)

TO_ButcherShopFront-TO_CA.txd
TO_ButcherShopFront-TO_CA_R.txd
TO_ButcherShopFront.txd

It goes on.

It's possible that there'd be a way to fix the game to start from the beggining by changing something in the XML files, but everything's compressed in that particular archive.


around 400MB of unused data.....


How decompress I the file SH.ARC ?
The archive itself isn't compressed, just every individual file inside it. I don't know how the compression works.

crazyfishie, how did you get that list exactly? I tried pkunpak, WinACE, StuffIt but no luck.

I used a tool by neness2000 called Kit Magician (generic extractor/rebuilder) to extract/rebuild the ARC files, and just looked at the file using Hex Workshop to find out the info to do so. Note all values in the ARC file are little endian (eg 0x94DB3610 is actually 0x1036DB94)


Offset | Info

0x4 | Number of files
0x8 | Length of table header (X)
0xC | Location for nametable
0x10 |Length of nametable
0x14 - (X) | TOC

TOC format
4 bytes offset of filename in nametable
4 bytes start offset
4 bytes filelength (compressed)
4 bytes filelength (uncompresed) (if value is 0 then file is uncompressed)

FOR SH.ARC, just go to offset 0x1036DB94 for the list of filenames.


thanks to crazyfishie

[Inu268]

OMG :eek: !!! 601 mb of demo! let's imagine the full game...:D

about the same size, considering all the game content is included in the demo....
160MB of maps and models and textures that aren't in the demo, 41MB of ingame cutscenes 180MB of CG, and more.....all included in the demo, and not used

[KingofKingz]

i think (hope) its just a matter of time until we see the demo turning into the whole game!

[Xenogears V]

CG? Cool, I thought there was only in-game stuff.
I like CG in games, especially the ones in Silent Hill series! :p
