more likely.
I hope so. This will break the Internet if Silent Hills gets reannounced.
I moved past it because i just dont consider spinoffs canon typically but also this started with you saying fanservice ruined the series for you. Just because something is canon in another game doesnt mean it retroactively ruins previous games.
Well imagine Kojima using DS5 feedback to do this in Silent Hill:

He is sadistic, he will use it. :p
A Heart-Monitoring Horror Game That Gets Tougher As You Get Scared
Horror games can be scary enough on their own—do we really need one that measures our heart rate and gets harder as we get more scared? Maybe we do. Maybe. We. Do.

I believe it will just be details about the PC version of Death Stranding, probably some extra PC perks? Who knows.
By the way I need to update my title, treat the above as personal speculation and not something official. I don't work for 505 Games anymore. I'm in the mobile games industry now working for Socialpoint.

That would be game changing. With this also:Well imagine Kojima using DS5 feedback to do this in Silent Hill:

Never said that. I said I don't care about the brand at this point. I would be equally excited about a new IP by Kojima as Silent Hill by Kojima, more even. There is no need for Silent Hill to continue beyond Konami cashing in on band recognition. I never said that anything ruined previous games. That would be stupid.
Kojima out here trying to give people heart attacks.Well imagine Kojima using DS5 feedback to do this in Silent Hill:

What's interesting about all this is that there have been some rumors about Sony working on one (or was it two?) horror projects. Keiichiro Toyama is moving on from Gravity Rush and wants to return to horror, and Kojima, well, he straight up said his next game will be horror, if I remember correctly. Anybody that has played Death Stranding will see that the game has a lot of horror moments, even down to the breathing mechanic. I could tell he's itching to do a full horror game, and his games have always had scary stuff in them.
Wasn't there also another thing about Konami rebooting Silent Hill? What if Sony's doing some kind of collab that will be teased with the PS5 reveal?
Honestly, after his last few games, it'd probably be better if Kojima makes a new horror IP rather than Silent Hill. He's not the man to bring SH back to life.
P.T. is the scariest thing I've ever played and it was directed by Kojima, so yeah, you're wrong. P.T. alone makes me think he'd make the scariest Silent Hill game yet.
Please... I can't take this... my heart is going to fucking burst.
Like I said. I would be fine with him making an entirely new horror IP. I'm sure he'd be fine at that.
I just don't think he would be good at using Silent Hill as a setting. He's not the guy to revive the IP because he would mess it up just like Vatra and Double Helix and all the rest. Silent Hill as a series isn't just about "BOO! SCARYYYYYY" moments.
I can't. Please don't give me hope.
I believe they will announce their next game soon though. KojiPro is on a roll.

Or monster energy drinks and your favorite movie actors.
The one time Kojima directed a horror project it went down as a masterpiece. That's all I care about and all that we have to go by. I trust he'll deliver on everything else too. I'll always have faith in his game design.
You must be fun at parties.
It was an hour-long tech demo that was so obtuse that it was basically impossible to complete. That's not really what I think of when I think of Silent Hill.
Again, that's what I'm saying. I don't give a damn about if he could make a good horror game. I'm sure he could.
Nothing about that says he could make a good SILENT HILL game, though. I care more about Silent Hill as a setting and a concept than I do about Kojima's ability to deliver a nebulous "horror game".
What if Sony secretly acquired the Silent Hill IP from Konami lol.
I mean when thats the main draw of the party then yeah, I guess so.
Why would they waste money on that? It's not a high-value IP and they have a horror IP of their own they could revive, or they could just make a new one. What would be the point?
They have a weird relationship. The vast majority of KJP staff are ex-Konami, even the head of marketing just hired in the past week. He still gets on with a lot of people there. Lately he's said that no matter what happened between them he still thanks and owes Konami for his career.
More of an issue with the highest ranks who did spiteful shit like trying to stop ex-employees from getting health insurance.
I highly doubt that happened. I don't see Sony desiring to acquire it nor Konami wanting to sell it. However I definitely could see Sony funding this and co-publishing it along with Konami in collaboration with KojiPro.
Oh. I'd still trust him with it.
How can you not see the humor in drinking Monster Energy to recover stamina and eating water bears (known for their ability to survive anywhere) to produce blood? Death Stranding isn't even about those things. Those things are just there as comic relief, just like we can use Metal Gear prosthetics to help with the weight of excessive cargo. There's literally bushes that grow shoes we can wear in the game, cleverly named Sandalweed. It is hilarious but you take it seriously? Laugh a little.
Yeah I didn't really mean that they fully acquired the IP, but rather, an agreement to fund a Silent Hill game.
Again, why though? What's the value of that? Why waste money on it?
It's Silent Hill, so I wouldn't call it wasted money. It's an IP people are familiar with.
It's not an IP in good shape. Why spend a ton of money on reviving a game they don't own and that wouldn't be exclusive to their platforms? They already have their own horror IP.
Cool, so kick it back into good shape.
If Sony funds it and Konami agrees to full exclusivity, then yah, it is.
True, there's Siren, but there are no rumors about a new one while there are rumors about a new Silent Hill.
A big budget KojiPro developed Silent Hill would do incredibly well and if funded by Sony it would at least be console exclusive like Street Fighter V.
It wouldn't. Silent Hill is not that big. Horror games are not that big. Paying Konami a shitload of money to make a Silent Hill game FOR THEM would only benefit Konami, not Sony.
LOL Yes, Resident Evil is not that big. Kojimas games are not that big. The return of a beloved IP as Silent Hill done as a AAA game by today's standards by a well known gaming personality and auteur would not be big. Sony wouldn't benefit at all from investing in this venture.
Do you know how ridiculous you sound?
RE2 Remake had already sold 5 million by December 2019. I'd call that a positive for the horror genre. Positivity is good.
Having Kojima's name behind it will be enough to drives sales and creating a new game within an established franchise is much less of a gamble then making a new IP like Death Stranding.
Resident Evil is the horror IP. It's the only one that's ever really been a megahit. Silent Hill cannot, and will not, approach that level of sales. It's a niche horror series and spending a shitload of money on it would just mean the expectations would need to be astronomically high in order to satisfy both Konami and Sony.
It's not a good investment. Sony would be absolutely idiotic to do it.
I never said it did, but it's an example of a Horror game that sells big. The likelihood of a high profile big budget Silent Hill game made by Kojima selling the most in franchise history and being very successful is very high.
Haven't posted in months, but the allure of a new Kojima-led project cannot be resisted! Voted for Silent Hill in the poll, because why not?!
If I was replying to you I woulda quoted you my man. It was a general to the "what if he's still funded by Sony meme"
kojimas new silent hills, will be focused on being a worker in totally not amazon warehouse, where you have to meet stritch quotas or pyramid man gets you

Riot Games' thing is probably unrelated. I think the other two could absolutely indicate a big PlayStation thing coming next week, especially the Godfall tease.
someone talk some sense into this thread because i can't get my hopes up for a revived silent hills. we're reaching right? ...right??
I've been trying to for hours now but nobody's listening. I don't know why anyone thinks Sony would be stupid enough to do this.
