Climax working on new horror title, rumors fly right and left photo

I was directed this morning to a thread over at NeoGAF, where much speculation was warming up over a few job listings on the Climax website. In the job listings, the intro reads as follows:

"...and an unannounced title for Codemasters as well as our stunning and refreshing take on the horror genre and our original ground breaking next-gen game for the PS3 and the Xbox 360."

The site's front page reads "new Wii and PSP game" and well as "new 360 and PS3 project", both being Konami titles. There's a lot to work with here if your imagination is vast, and GAF seems to think that the new title could be a Silent Hill title, which means Wii owners would finally get a chance to submerge into my favorite dysfunctional universe.

I'd like to think it will be a completely new title, but I can't ignore the possibility it could be Silent Hill, especially considering Climax was behind Silent Hill Origins. Got any ideas what you think this game could be?

it will more than likely be a Silent Hill title, fingers crossed Climax wont fuck it up like Double Helix

Unannounced title for Codemasters? I know MercurySteam is working on Lord of Shadows, so I wonder if CM would be letting Climax work on the Jericho sequel.

That would be kinda cool.

The front page says there are two unannounced titles for Konami.

From what I understand, Climax are also working on a next-gen (PS3/360) title that uses Unreal Engine 3. Doesn't involve bald-space marines.

Well, 0rigins seems better than Homecoming (which I haven't played). I'd hit it.
