Silent Hill 4 is a bad game too. It was the beginning of the decay.
That maybe so but that just goes to show that when people say Kojima's style wouldn't fit Silent Hill due to his lack of subtlety, they mainly mean Silent Hill 2.

Silent Hill 1, 3, and 4, are way less "subtle" than most remember I reckon, and yet they were mostly all made by members of the same development team, showing that there isn't just 1 style that SH games need to adhere to.

*sigh* Of course I know RE7 wasn't made the way it was strictly because of P.T. That's obvious. However I don't think there's any question there was some level of influence, it's very likely that Capcom saw P.T.'s success as validation for the direction they had already decided to go in, and leaned in harder. At the very least, RE7's Beginning Hour demo was an incredibly blatant (and kinda clumsy, though not bad) attempt to recreate the P.T. phenomenon.


Geez, I didn't know the two franchises were that closely related. With RE currently enjoying a new golden age, hopefully SH can find new prosperity as well. I don't have much faith in Konami to do the right thing with the franchise, but yeah, this leak gives me some optimism, and clearly represents a real project that at least was in development in 2020. I also would like absolute confirmation that this is still in development.
no.

Imagine writing something like this for everyone to see

Imagine terrible combat, a protagonist so stupid he can barely string two words together (seriously, Henry, how do you FUNCTION), and half a game worth of bad escort missions.

I'm sorry, but Silent Hill 4 sucks. It's the last gasp of Team Silent, which is something, and Walter Sullivan actually being used as a character and not background lore was cool, but the actual game itself is bad.

4 low resolution images leak from the game, only two of which show an environment and there is already people shouting
"game looks abysmal"

The attitude of some in here is actually kind of pathetic to be honest.

People beg for leaks then rip them apart when they happen because they don't look as good as the carefully produced official material released by the studio.

Those games had deep storytelling, atmosphere, subtlety, and symbolism in them as well, even though they didn't quite reach the heights of Silent Hill 2. The third game is more visceral and unrestrained than the others, but it still relies heavily on atmosphere and symbolism.

Yeah I agree.

And P.T. I felt fit right in there in what little we've played.

I still have zero faith in Konami and just wish they'd pull a SquareEnix and offload these IP to someone who gives a damn.

Initial Thoughts: Looks like RE Engine, First Person Sucks Ass

Still preparing my booty hole for Bloober or Kojima writing. Only saving grace is Sony is somehow involved...but then that "I hate myself" plastered on the character's forehead makes me not want tot give a shit.
Nothing wrong with a character who is struggling with self hatred but...

Whoever is making this game, for the love of all things unholy, SHOW DONT TELL!

From the little English translation earlier in this thread: Seems like the story or a part of it is about someone neglecting their kids?

Someone dropped "abandonment" in that translation and I had a mini heart attack lol.

Is it a coincidence that Kendrick's new album that dropped 40 minutes ago has a track called "Silent Hill?"

I think not.

Please don't start this. I almost lost my mind thinking Death stranding with Silent Hills and Tatu was related with her song Silent Hills at that time. We don't need PythonSelkan making 3 hour videos a day just about the song. XD

Joint production from multiple studios. Masahiro Ito involved.

Are these screenshots from a Japanese developer? Are they from Bloober Team? Are you able to say?

That's the main question I have.

I'll give you a somewhat non-answer answer and say this is developed by more than one studio, it's a joint production. What I will say is that Masahiro Ito is 100% working on this, I have some art from him from this project to prove it but I'll share that later.

Finally, told you guys.

This is the KJP Silent Hill.

The leaker will be in big trouble though.

The other SH is by bloober.

OMG. This is scary as hell. I am neither convinced by the fact this is a FPS, the fact this is not subtle and use psyche in such refined way and the damn graphics. He was answering someone asking if Bloober is involved, and he said it is a joint game. If they are involved by any kind, I won't even care even if the whole team silent is there now.

If Ito is indeed involved...hype!

Multiple studios...hmm...

Yes, this is exactly my feeling. A hype that can devolve into a hmm or even a meh due to the second.

With this being a joint production (with both bad concept art and Masahiro Ito himself involved), this could simultaneously be the best and worst Silent Hill game lol.

The duality of man game.

Exactly my thoughts too buddy. When I was goçng to just leave and not care about this BS anymore. Now I am both interested and scared at the same time. This game could make me scared not by its horror content but if it may have horrific content XD

This looks amazing!

I've always believed in this game's existence. I guess Toyama's departure means he's no longer involved, sadly, but I'll get whatever we can.

-EDIT: MASAHIRO ITO IS FUCKING IN THAT'S ALL I NEED

Now that is some actual details. Wonder what it means by joint production though. Like are two studios fully working on it or is it a situation where there is a main developer and a support studio

Or more like someone working on real world while other working on other world like how Bloober used their own composer for the game and called Yamaoka for the other world music. Or maybe the FPS part is made by a studio while thrid person part by another. Or a studio makes single player while the other makesd multiplayer. Something ubisoft always does.

I'll be honest, this looks abysmal and very much like something Bloober Team would create.

The art direction here looks like "generic first person psychological horror game" and is definitely not up to Silent Hill standards.

The protagonist having "I hate myself" on her forehead is also incredibly forced and makes it seem like this is going to be yet another Silent Hill 2 rip-off that misinterprets the town as being some sort of supernatural couch therapist or a purgatory for punishing the guilty.

If this is real, hopefully the rest of the game looks much better than this. I'm guessing Masahiro Ito isn't involved.
i guess you would be wrong

What I will say is that Masahiro Ito is 100% working on this, I have some art from him from this project to prove it but I'll share that later as most of the art shows maybe a bit too much.

It's hard to judge from the screens alone but this feels like a cheap Western PT clone that came out in 2018. Pretty sure one of them even had all the notes on the wall like in these screens. I guess we'll have to see when they officially show it.

I'm gonna wait till an official announcement and trailer/screenshots before forming an opinion. If these are indeed legit and from 2 years ago, no doubt there's been some changes and I can't really judge anything based on just 4 pics.

I will echo the sentiment that the first pic gave me RE7 vibes, and the others had me thinking it was Bloober's project. Take that how you will.

And I was starting to accept that we woudn't get a new SH
Apparently, it's a joint production between multiple studios and Sony and Masahiro Ito are involved.

Personally, I really don't like these screenshots. But that information sounds promising enough. Especially Ito.

Yeah yeah exactly me. I feel the same about the screenshots but the infos made me have mixed feelings now. Screw this. When i was just ready to turn the paper of this project. XD
