heydude93 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Quote Our first source, who we’ve come to trust well, indicates that Keiichiro Toyama (director and writer of the original 1999 Silent Hill) and Akira Yamaoka (composer for the majority of the franchise) are also returning alongside Masahiro Ito. The trio will helm a “soft reboot” of the Silent Hill series, possibly just called Silent Hill. SIE Japan Studio, which possibly includes team members from “Project Siren,” the group behind Siren: Blood Curse for the PlayStation 3, will be behind its development in some capacity (either in full or in part). Our source states that this title has been in the works for about a year. Our second source — which has no connection to the first — was aware of Ito’s involvement in a new Silent Hill title and informed us of that information some time ago. The second Silent Hill title referenced in previous rumors is still being worked out at the moment, but it’s looking as if it very well could be Silent Hills, Hideo Kojima’s famously canceled title. According to our first source, Sony is working to patch up the relationship between Kojima Productions and Konami in order to resurrect the game due to the amount of buzz and continued demand for it five years after its cancellation; our second source shared this same information with us in the past. We can now report on it with some confidence in its legitimacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 In the end it's still Silent Hill and nowhere near as good as Resident Evil. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 They're apples and oranges. I love both series, though each has some really high highs and some pretty low lows. That said, I'm pretty skeptical of this. Team Silent broke up after SH4. I'd be delighted if it becomes true, but I won't hold my breath.

Bacon Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Silent Hill isn't nearly as fun to play as RE games, but SH games are great games to watch other people play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxEvil AshxX Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Honestly this is the kind of thing Microsoft should've done. If MS landed a the Kojima Silent Hills game as an exclusive, that would've been the mic drop they needed for Series X. It's great that MS has a bunch of studios working on things but they need one that makes non-Xbox gamers perk up their ears. Or whine and complain, as is common in the Sony camp when they "lose" an exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there's your problem. 2 is well worth a few playthroughs to see the bigger picture and how the town is in itself a character and not just a backdrop.

Even though P.T. showed Capcom how to make RE7, they would almost have to follow RE7's template. RE7 didn't do "outside" very well though. Silent Hill would have to be a semi-open world, so they'd have to find a balance between slow/deliberately clunky movement and a faster style that could border on action-y. If they lean too much on one side or the other it could ruin the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I have zero faith in this, based on Konami’s recent track record. They can prove me wrong. I just don’t think they’re capable of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodimus Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Silent Hill does two things right Resident Evil doesn't. I love RE games but this is still true. Silent Hill has much better and useful melee weapons. Also unlimited bag space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I'd be bummed if it was PS5 exclusive if it's real, but would still be glad the series is continuing in non-Pachinko form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if it was a PS5 Pachinko game, that'd be real special. But I don't really care whether the Pachinko machines exist or not so long as they don't butcher the video games. Poor Silent Hill can't take much more. Silent Hill is in its own version of Silent Hill where modern-day Konami runs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
