So was the rumored Silent Hill by Japan Studio just Playstation's version of Star Fox Grand Prix?

Leaks suggest Nintendo's Retro Studios making Star Fox racing spin-off

A round of internet leaks has suggested Nintendo's Retro Studios - developer of the Metroid Prime trilogy - is working …
www.eurogamer.net www.eurogamer.net

Star Fox Grand Prix was suppose to be a spin-off game made by Retro with game being compared to Diddy Kong Racing, having boss fights, hub world and gameplay elements from the Star Fox series. It was apparently a looker too.

So what's the deal with? Well.....



Starlink was revealed to have exclusive Star Fox content for the Switch version a month later at E3. While it didn't matchup with everything in the rumor(a racing mode did come in later in a expansion) this was the point where people were going "hmmm" and for the rumor to start falling apart. Continuedly on mention of this rumored title died down with "insiders" not mention it much or if at all anymore with some saying that it was just all fact.


Now in regards.....

The fog thins on the future of the Silent Hill franchise with an exclusive news update regarding the future of one of gaming's greatest horror franchises!
www.relyonhorror.com

The rumored Silent Hill game was new game/Reboot being pushed by Sony and being made by their Japan Studio with members of Team Silent. This one is more recent than Grand Prix, but it apparently it had backing to seem like it could be real thing with some details of it even coming from here. I know there also something relating to Kojima being involved or whatever but that was extremely fuzzy shit.

Of course though in December of last year Toyama, who was suppose to be the helm of the rumored project announced that he and a few others from Japan Studio left to form a new studio called Bokeh Game Studio. Of course though the rumor could persist as he could be making a new Silent Hill title with his new studio, but then later they announced it would be new multiplatform horror IP with PC as the lead platform.

Fairly sure there is something Silent Hill coming, but the facts around it I am pretty sure are bullshit.

Yeah, I'm sure someone saw 'The Medium' and just assumed it was Silent Hill and that, of course, would mean it's a PlayStation exclusive.

It doesn't exist.

People wanna believe because the insiders said so. But that's because they're used to the old GAF days when vetted insiders actually had good info. This isn't the case anymore.

Silent Hill: Grand Fox

A Silent Hill game that reveals that it ain't Mira that's running the show in Silent Hill, it's the Grand Fox who's behind it all. And you gotta participate in a race against the fox to escape Silent Hill and save your life.

I thought that Star Fox Grand Prix was revealed to have been purposefully fake info to weed out where leaks were coming from? I could've sworn this was revealed a few months ago and I hope that I'm not just making shit up here

For Silent Hill, who knows what's up, but Dusk Golem says it's happening and he hasn't been proven wrong with any of his info yet, but I also don't know his credibility with Konami/Sony stuff, only Resident Evil stuff mostly

a new Silent Hill could be a thing, but one with this particular rumor? I doubt it at this point.

I'll put my money on it being a 2022 game made by Japan Studios and we'll get a reveal either this Summer or Fall. 2021's already got a massively stacked lineup, so I'm gonna guess this will be aiming to be part of the 2022 lineup.

Right now, my guess for Silent Hill on "PS5" is

- Not developed by SCEJ (Though might assist ala Nioh)
- Sony has marketing rights
- Cross-gen
- Western Developed

We'll see what happens, but IMO some are setting themselves up for disappointment with some of their expectations. So I hope that whatever gets revealed, people don't instantly turn on it if it isn't the game they were expecting it to be (Japanese Dev with Horror Icons attached and a Huge Budget). We can always get that stuff later, Silent Hill coming back in a good form is the most important first aspect.

In my mind, I would expect a new SH to be similar to RE7. Will be a good/great game that has its shortcomings but will be able to iron that out as things go on. You can't typically make something like SH2 out of the gate, especially when you're looking at such a gap between game and different studios.

I never understood this rumor. Sony already hired ex Team Silent staff to make a horror game with Siren. Why not reboot that rather than pay a ton and give creative control to Konami just for a name?

At this point, I feel exclusivity just means timed in one way or another. Seems no Third Party Publisher these days wants to leave money on the table by ignoring PC. Wouldn't be a stretch considering how Death Stranding went and the murmurs about FF7R for PC.

Lot of this rumor sounds more like wishful thinking rather than actual fact.
The issue is that people are starting to get disappointed in something that doesn't exist.

The rumours and leaks are more wishful thinking than anything else. It was gonna be shown at the beginning of last year, then at the middle, then at the end, then at..

Maybe Konami was shopping the IP around at one point but we've seen no evidence a new SH is a thing. I would guess they explored the idea of licensing to another studio but nothing ever came of it, the kind of thing that happens all the time. Would love to be wrong but there's just nothing backing up these rumors other than wishful thinking.

KatharsisT has been vetted concerning Kojima and Silent Hill stuff. We're fairly certain they are in a position where they might know things about those subjects. As far as anything else goes, for example general Sony stuff, they have not been vetted by staff. If they'd like to reach out about anything else, we're more than happy to talk.

Keep in mind, being vetted doesn't mean that information is 100% accurate. It just means that we have been shown they are in a position where they have access to legitimate information.

For Silent Hill. They might have info. This is walking back somewhat from an earlier Admins post that they 100% believe them but we shall see where the cards fall. For other things they claim (MGS/BP) they are not vetted.

I think I read that the total sales for the series is around 9 million? If that number is roughly correct, I'm having a hard time imagining Konami (or other publishers, since that's part of the rumor) falling all over themselves to bring it back.

Hype pretty much died when Toyama left Sony. I don't buy that he was involved and the project is pretty much finished when we have seen 0 of it. Expectations at an all time low if it's western developed.

I was interested in this rumor when it was possibly Team Siren making it, but now...

Well at least now Toyama is making his own horror game.

I wouldn't want to draw an equivalence between a few SH rumors on a gaming forum and a violent fascist doomsday cult, but it is a little off-putting to see so many declare unconditional faith in some Era insiders. I've even seen concern trolling in other threads about how rumor skepticism is "driving away the forum insiders" or some such. All unconfirmed rumors should be taken with a big grain of salt or you are setting yourself up for major disappointment. Folks shouldn't let their eagerness for another SH game get in the way of good judgment.

Personally I've seen enough to reasonably conclude a new SH does not exist. Too many prophecies unfulfilled with convenient after-the-fact justification. From what I can tell, DG only seems to say with certainty that Konami was shopping the IP around to developers at some point. Which might have been true, but does not necessarily mean that anything came of it or that a new game is in development. Ideas are explored but quietly dropped all the time in this business. I would love to be wrong but...

Anyway it's unfortunate for us that Konami doesn't want to utilize their classic IP for new games but that's just how it is and there are plenty of other great games out there to play instead.

Maybe a new Silent Hill project is in the works; that part could be accurate; but even if the project exists I very much doubt that Japan Studio are the lead devs.
