Yeah, at best there may be a PC release but it's likely to remain console exclusive.

It's definitely a bummer for the folks that only buy Xbox though, especially when the franchise has been multiplatform for a while now. But then again, that goes for Dead Rising all the same.
It all makes sense now.

New Silent Hill and Fatal Frame movies confirmed
"I think it's time to make a new one"

1) This makes so much sense. It would be an immediate system seller. Silent Hill 1 & 2 are classic Playstation titles, and with Sony's production bandwidth could be amazing.
2) I personally don't understand the 2 streams? Why have two Silent Hill games in development at roughly the same time? It sounds odd to me, especially if both are from prestigious teams. Why not concentrate efforts into one super focused reboot.

The time to ride the hype of P.T. is past imo. Resident Evil 7 was the game that made use of that with its first demo, and by the time a actual SH revival actually begins development people won't really care for it on the merits of P.T.
Not sure about the rest of the post but I don't think you source is accurate about this. Since day 1 Kojima was always consistent about the release date. Also don't see how the game could have been soft booted a year and a half before release if Kojima came to E3 2018 with that gameplay reveal trailer that ended up being exactly what DS turned out to be.
The smaller episodic game by Kojima would work as a hype builder the way that PT rocked the world in 2015, paving way for the full reboot release by Ito, Yamaoka, and Toyama and the rest.
The entire development wasn't scrapped and redone to my knowledge, but a lot changed. A lot was retained, but a lot of ideas didn't make the cut and some aspects and focuses of the game changed. I also can't get much into this but PS5's release date itself was changed from the time DS started development and release, it pushed back at a point (though given, this point was like a couple years ago), PS5 was originally supposed to be out by the time Death Stranding would come out, but that didn't happen and rather than push it back or extend the budget more it was decided to go full steam ahead for what was expected.
The art book shows off some horrific imagery. The game was definitely changed in some aspects.
If this is true I think there would be at least a year or 2 between each title if the reboot has been in production for a year and Sony is still in negotiation with Konami for silent hills.
I still think it's an odd idea to split the efforts and marketing like that. Especially if they both have incredibly different direction. In my opinion, it makes the story sound a bit fishy. However, the idea of Sony working with Konami to bring Silent Hill back as a prestige series makes an enormous amount of sense.
Not sure that it's the most responsible thing to be reporting on the Kojima side of this rumor if it's still something that's only being discussed internally and not in active development. Also, are we taking the claims from that new, seemingly unverified account at face value? Claiming not only knowledge of this project that's supposedly still in talks but of its specific nature (as a game designed for unnanounced hardware to boot) is... a lot. I mean, it sounds incredible as a fan of the franchise and lover of P.T., but even the idea of two concurrent SIlent Hill reboots sounds very fishy.
The SIE/Toyama led project, on the other hand, seems much more solid. That tweet from Ito basically calls it out directly. After over 15 years it's impossible to imagine what members of Team Silent returning to the franchise will look like. Just that announcement will be absolutely explosive.

Were you there when PT came out in 2015? It was huge and really made a big impact on gaming culture that people still remember today. The smaller budget VR release by Kojima fits perfectly into this and is also the same guy who was behind PT in the first place. It makes perfect sense.
I can't even begin to express how glad I am that Sony gave priority to getting the main deal for the reboot/Revival for Toyama, team Siren, and the OG Team Silent members.
Can't think of a more deserving group of creatives to get the gig.

Let me clarify, I actually was in doubts myself to share the Kojima, but some others wanted to share it and I understand it makes the story spicier. Even if everything I've shared is 100% true like I believe it is, the Kojima thing is ambiguous in if it'll even turn into something right now or not, there's just been talks about it.
I also had some thoughts on sharing it when it's not even a done deal yet, though maybe in the best case scenario this blowing up some will lead to a positive outcome if seen there's still interest in it. That is the hope on my part, though I dread it also might make things fall apart.
However, ultimately this part wasn't really my call, there was things circulating that kinda' got to a point it was going to come out of someone one way or another here, so here we are.
If this is all real, then maybe you will be right. PT is Kojima and team's best game, in my opinion. I personally like constrained Kojima best, and that was his most constrained work. So yeah, it would be great to get more of that! If it's just used as a hype piece, then sure!
And thank you for that.
Prety sure the news will explode tomorow and maybe good news will come out of that.
I mean, everything keeps repeating reboot, but afaik both the article and dusk specify soft reboot, which means theyre still keeping to canon
Because the lore of Silent Hill allows it to become a semi anthology series and Silent Hills is obviously in earlier development than the Team Silent project (dear God my hands shook writing that phrase)
Sounds good, but also sounds too good to be true. I guess we just wait and see.
I'm assuming the PS5 reveal would be where we see if this is real or not.

Team Silent isn't a thing. You might get a couple of people who used to be involved in the old games but that team is dead with a capital D.
Something that wasnt ever a thing in the first place cant be dead.
"team silent" changed members every game with really only Ito and Yamaoka being consistent in the first 4 entries.
Dusk said 3 million unsold copies. As in they printed 3 million copies that didn't sell.
Toyama, Ito and Yamaoka are Team Silent for all that matters. Even Ito was barely part of the team,the other two were the omly constants, however he's a great director and it's nice to have him back.
1: 3 million isn't what the game has sold. There are supposedly 3 million unsold copies of the game.
2: DS wasn't a cheap game to make.
