Lol, I have no idea. Someone said at one point it was a permaban if games insiders alleged didn't get revealed, but I don't know if they were serious or not
Surprising that people could get fired, if the game is being worked on I'd figure that's dozens of people who would have to know about it, dunno how they would ever trace a leak. Unless there's a link in the chain people know might spill and be able to easily suspect where it's coming from.
If it turns out to be wrong, no big deal. We'd just be going back to not having Silent Hill again which has been the default state. If it is, that's cool too.

The whole Kojima/Konami/Silent Hills thing makes no sense the way anyone has presented it. Apparently, we are missing key information that we can't be told for reasons we don't understand.
Take that as you will.
How many butts would you say there are in this game, more than six?
Maybe this is how P.T. can live again. Not as a tie in to the Silent Hill franchise, but it's own thing. Is it at all possible that Konami would allow Kojima to use the P.T name? I mean, its still a super valuable trademark. Just seeing the name again would send shivers down peoples' spines. And if Konami doesn't want to do anything with it.... why not let Kojima (and Sony) pay them to use it.
Kojima has already kind of said he doesn't want to revisit PT I'm pretty sure. He wants to do a horror game, but he looks at PT as more of an experiment, and not even really representative of what Silent Hills would have even been in the end.
I don't like the hostility I see on this website towards insiders at times. They ain't perfect and a lot surely are looking for attention or fame or whatever, but they're also throwing us a bone in giving us stuff to look forward to. Especially with quarantine and shit, and now being around a time people would look forward to E3, I feel like having that is appreciated by many still
PS: Drinking, but still something that I find weird time to time at other times
PS: Drinking, but still something that I find weird time to time at other times
you could say that about almost every gaming franchise besides the most popular ones...
This seems clearly aimed at me, so you should at least have quoted me if you had something to say, or DM'd me.
For one, replying to an insider with something that isn't just gushing praise and 'thank you, thank you, hype!' is not 'hostility.' I ended that conversation with him instead of trying to argue further which to me is the opposite of 'hostility.' And let's be clear, this wasn't aimed at 'insiders.' I was specifically talking to one insider. KatharsisT and how she has delivered her info is probably perfect, whether it be true or not, she says what she allegedly knows, and if she don't know or can't answer, she just doesn't say anything.
That's all I'm going to say about it, because going farther into detail will just stir the pot. But I will end on saying that the deification some of you have of insiders is kind of creepy. I mean, most of them are just like a group of fans who get bits and pieces from other people and repeat it. I get people want info, they want leaks, but some of you act like you are among the word of God when certain people speak. I mean, okay, some of those people maybe earn that (Jason, for one), but others are obviously just fans who get bits of juicy info and milk it for all its worth. Just my opinion. I don't bow to anyone, I just hope the stuff I want to be true is true.
No we just don't want to run them off like constantly happens. I think some idiots ran Jason off earlier this week. If you don't like the way they present their into just ignore it. Grilling them or questioning the legitimacy rarely results in anything positive.
I mean, I'm free to give my opinions, and I'm not going to be afraid to, just as no one else should within reason obviously.
I've already said my peace about it by now, so I'm going to move on.
Originally, I voted no, but I have an inkling it might be real. If it turns out to be true, I will be overjoyed, though that sure is an understatement.
I still haven't even voted lol. I'll be 'I don't know' until the trailer rolls
Well, as disappointed as I would be if this winds up being real, I would at least be happy to have an end to all the teasing and confusion over what the project actually entails.
Bring it on in June so we can all know what the truth is and make of it what we will.

Watch a few of the last seasons of Dexter. That'll probably clear that up
So you are saying there is absolutely no way this could end up producing a game that you would enjoy? Ignoring all the extraneous stuff about how you feel resources should allocated.

Nice. This is getting better and better.
I was just expecting a small teaser, now we might actually see gameplay.
Yeah, probably about the same head space on my part, too. I'm more excited than you are about the prospect of a potential new game, but I think we've gone around too many times on this one by this point, and it's just kind of time to get it over with and see where we are.
We've already discussed it at length, so to save time I'll just say that I don't want to financially support the practice of first parties making third parties' games for them. If I can get it used, I'll play it and judge it by its own merits. I don't think it'll be a bad game, though I also doubt it'll beat SH2 in terms of quality.
My main objection is just that I don't want Sony and Microsoft to start doing this kind of thing on the regular.
There's only one thing I'm going to throw out there, but it is personal and my last comment on this as it came up from this response.
Sharing stuff is not glamorous or nice. Every day I can expect to be asked the same questions i've answered elsewhere no matter how clear i've been. People interrogate me, grill me for more, or actively will go out of their way to paint me as someone I'm not or to discredit me for one reason or another, or try to psychoanalyze me and my motives. I am a fan first and foremost, I just happen to know some people mainly on the Capcom and indie horror side and sometimes that extends to other things through connecting. The reason I act just like a fan is because that's all I am, I don't believe or think myself better than anyone (in my spare time I spend a lot of time talking with others, helping friends through problems, supporting someone close to me who has bad anxiety), or try to hold onto things as a privelage. I share because I'm a dork and I like sharing things, not to hurt anyone or the like, that's all there ever is to it really for my side. But trust me, I know first hand some people really dislike me and how I go about things, and will let me know about it. That's just part of it. Some want me to be PR like or direct and talk like I know, but that's not who I am, and if anything I am true to me.
Just so To be clear on that last part. I wasn't aiming that at you or other insiders. When I said they were fans milking into I didn't mean it in a bad way necessarily (though reading it back it does bad), I was more aiming it at posters and how they act towards or about certain individuals like yourself. I think people can be critical without being 'hostile' and I'm not really fond of that mindset.
But you know, people like you here obviously and I think more than anything the way you present information doesn't jive with the way I like, more than anything. It's fine, though, it's not that big of a deal one way or another. Live and let live. I think at this point I'm just ready for this project to be revealed so we can move on to more productive stuff.
Its okay, the reason I responded wasn't anger but to convey better understanding. I like people, not just people who like me, and I can appreciate your honesty which is why I returned it with honesty.
We're at the cusp of it now, so it'll be an interesting next few weeks.
What I'm hoping is that game dev in general is just going to speed up due to the SSD making the process easier.
The series definitely not known for the battle system, but I hope it will be fun like 4's charging attack.
They have to make combat better if they want it to be well received. We have seen 20 years of progress since the best SH games.
I'm on split minds of this, BUT I have faith in the team really. I thought Blood Curse had good combat for a horror game, effective and felt decent enough to not feel bad but disempowering and rough enough to not be too reliable or a central focus of the game.
As long as it has combat. One of the nightmare scenarios would be Silent Hill getting made into another "all problems must be solved by hiding" horror game.
Melee weapons; the katana was best in 3 & wooden axe in 4.
Also they kindly enough with the invincibility frames.

I'm not saying it needs play like RE2 or RE3 Remake, but whatever tools they give us need to feel good to use. If I'm swinging a bat, pipe or sword for most of the game make it fun and have some strategy. I think RE7 did a great job of not of making you feel overpowered as Ethan, but the combat wasn't a drag.
That's one of the few outcomes that would make me lose most interest extremely fast.
The ideal combat would be a more simplified version of the combat of the Resident Evil remakes, like how the first three games played like simplified versions of the original Resident Evil games.
They need to avoid overcomplicating it with crap gimmicks like in Origins, Homecoming, and Downpour. The combat should be simple and easy to use, and not detract from the atmosphere.
If production started in 2019, maybe some sort of pre-production started earlier? Like, we know Toyama wanted to do an horror game even before, so maybe they started pitching and testing that and then retooled it into SH? That + higher budget + UE (iirc) + Toyama's fast track record make the game already being in playable state pretty probable no?
I'm team Spring 2021.

Take all the time you need on this honestly. Just be good, please. Full faith in this if Toyama's involved.
I'm going September since I think that is last financially responsible month to release in 2021. I didn't think 2021 was feasible at all, but KatharsisT says that is the plan.
If this really is real (which I am still not convinced) they need to release versions of Silent Hill 1 - 4 to current consoles/PC.
I bet at this point a lot of gamers have never even played a Silent Hill game.
And can you blame them? You can't even buy the games anymore.

Do they? This is an entry point either way, and the IP is plenty known through cultural osmosis.
Also something something, Book of Memories had the most combat, ergo it's the best Silent Hill game ever.
