Really sounds like this could be happening. So exciting! It could be a huge splash if they announced along PS5 blowout.

Sony rebooting Silent Hill series - Update: Maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The confusion probably comes from the fact that TriStar (a Sony owned studio) was involved with the first film. That makes people think it is more likely that they would be working on the film too.
But Silent Hill could also be getting an anime project, novels, etc. that would fall into the category of what the insiders are saying.
Wishful thinking? So we have mods here just making shit up? One with previous track record of accuracy?
Well yeah. P.T. is confirmed in the files so I assumed since Silent Hills is teased in P.T. and P.T. is just Playable Teaser for the upcoming (at that time) game so the deal back then was that whole title in general. And I don't rule out the deal was still strong back then to carry it on even now.
Fully funding it while some of the money goes to Konami? I don't see why they would say no to that, Sony is taking all the risk.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that this guy just makes shit up for attention, from the PlayStation WWS OT:
Well I expected this for years and I have been saying this every time haha. It just exceeded my expectations anyway to have 2 games. XD
Yeah thanks for showing how full of shit this guy is, but hardly anyone paid attention to his piggybacking off the legit insiders for this rumor lol. He sounded like every other twitter no name saying "YEAH I HEARD THAT TOO, MY SOURCES JUST TOLD ME ACTUALLY"
I'm going assume, Siren will make a classic 3rd person Silent Hill experience with all the bells and whistles and KojiPro will double down on the first person aspects of PT, hell if were lucky he might even pull an RE7 and make it with VR support o_O but I'm gonna keep my hype down for now. Just 1 SH game is enough to be hyped for.
Indeed and especially with next-gen PS5 graphics from scratch. I don't know who can survive any of those games. Haha.
About this matter, I heard Kojima was testing and thinking about making FPV for interiors and inhouse moments to convey more horrors in encounetrs like P.T. while having third person in outdoors, something like SH4 formula. This could work so well and also Kojima can't risk having Norman Reedus and famous actors and not show their faces through the whole game.

This sounds like wires are getting crossed somewhere. I'd wager Sony is funding a Silent Hill title and is in talks with both parties trying to settle on who would be interested in developing.
Dusk Golem and RelyonHorror wouldn't have so much faith in this and be talking so much about it if it was bullshit.
Well there's a difference between saying it's believable and that it's definitely happening. Seems some of the larger sites would have picked up on it by now if it was actually confirmed to be in the works.
You guys just need to put the KojiPro dreams on the back burner. Kojima is fickle and his next project dreams can change on a whim.
Concentrate and embrace the most important aspect of all of this: the man that fucking created the first Silent Hill is coming back with his primary artist and composer. That should be the excitement.
Kojima always was- and always would be- a guest star. This is Toyama's glory to soak up!

I want Toyama's SH more anyway. KP's Silent Hills would be a nice bonus though.
Not sure why Toyama is so highly lauded as if he's the mastermind behind the creative legacy of the Silent Hill series. He wasn't involved in Silent Hill 2 or 3 (entries that many consider to be better or of the same quality as SH1), and since then he's only gone on to make Siren (a subpar horror title) and Gravity Rush (a decent and innovative platformer, but ultimately mediocre). I'm sure he has some interesting ideas here and there, but I don't attribute the greatness of Silent Hill's horror legacy to him - given Silent Hill 2, 3, and to some extent 4, the greatness of Silent Hill was continued and achieved without him.
If you think for 1 second Kojima would accept not being listed as the creator, director, composer and original vision behind silent hill for the next silent hill title then we are going to run into a few problems.
Exactly! I'd take Toyama, Ito, and Yamaoka over a Kojima Silent Hills any damn day.
Wish they could have gotten Sato on the team as well, it would be perfect
This. Toyama would know exactly how to relaunch the series without losing all its charm. Many have missed the word "soft reboot". It's neither a remake nor a restart of the series and cutting all bonds from the previous games. A soft reboot is literaly a sequel but with a fresh start, focusing on everything new but still bringing ties to past stuff and hinting from time to time about the past.
Think of Mortal Kombat and God Of War. Both are soft reboots, starting from the ashes of the old chapters, creating even new timelines and worlds. It won't be a reimagining reboot/remake like Shattered Memories for example.
Kojima, would create an entire new concept of the universe, but still will have to stick to the universe. That is what will make the difference.
We have 2 best scenarios happening than just one unique outcome.

Agreed.
Though if they WANT to toss in Shattered Memories, I won't complain.
I wish this was a ps5 launch title, and that bluepoint were remaking the mgs trilogy for ps5. What a launch that would be
Even IGN is reporting this because it is coming from reputable sources. That being said, unless they have sources willing to confirm or leak something, they can't add anything. But while not 100% confirmed yet, the amount of details we are hearing from, again, REPUTABLE people is showing strong support that this is happening
This has been my thought from the start. Well Kojima said, back then when Silent Hills was still a thing, that he may bundle the game with a pair of Underwear. XD.
Well as if SIE reboot will be less scary. Toayama, Masahiro Ito and Akira Yamaoka will outdo themselves this time to push the limits of their creative minds since the PS5 hardware allows it.
Remember
Why would anyone confirm it?It will probably be a huge announcement at PS5 reveal. We basically know Demon's Souls is coming, but it isn't confirmed.
Yeah, i would love to see Silent Hill 2 writer returning, but i believe he is still in Konami.
I am not a big fan of the first Silent Hill game.
It's crazy to think that the directors of the two horror games I think are too scary to play (Blood Curse and PT) may be both working on their own Silent Hill game. It's too good to be true.
Realized by looking through his works that Toyama hasn't made a big title since the original Silent Hill in 1999.
Wonder if he will be up to the task of making a big budget PS5 title with state of the art graphics.
Also, just found out he worked on Kojima's Snatcher.

Yeah, I'm with you here. Silent Hill 2 is THE gold star of the series and Toyama had nothing to do with it. Why are we supposed to be that excited for him coming back? His interpretation of Silent Hill was fine, but it was nowhere near as interesting as the post-Alessa version of the town.
It's not like he has been making 3 hour indies.
Someone took his idea and built on it. He can do the same.
Perhaps. That doesn't mean I'm supposed to be excited for it out of the blue, though.
Don't be excited then. Seems like you don't want anyone to be excited though.
Maybe, and just maybe because he was part of the creation of the IP?
The most difficult thing is to set the tone, what you want to convey and the story in something that has not yet been proven. Sequels are ramifications of something already established, therefore they have a much smoother path than creating something from scratch.
If memory serves, pachinko is in pretty heavy decline (and will definitely tank even more due to coronavirus, since people are not going to be going to pachinko halls during the crisis), but Konami makes a ton of money off of operating gyms and arcades beyond just pachinko.
Eh. A creator is all fine and good but just because someone had a hand in creating a series doesn't mean they're automatically the right person to bring it back, especially when said series grew WELL past their original idea.
