Really sounds like this could be happening. So exciting! It could be a huge splash if they announced along PS5 blowout.
I'm just saying, you don't just "have the rights to Silent Hill". That's not how licensing works. Sony signing a deal with Konami to make a new Silent Hill game doesn't mean they also have the rights to make a movie.
Yes, there is a possibility Sony somehow worked out a film-rights deal TOO, but the implication from Dusk and others has been that Konami is the one making the cross-media projects, not Sony.
Correction here: Sony did not co-own Silent Hill. They co-owned part of PT specifically.
I don't know how reliable this guy is but he is claiming his own sources are corroborating the story. It might actually be happening.
Given how they are partnerships with Konami I think these games will at least come out on PC alongside PS5 (like Street Fighter V) perhaps with a delay. So not fully exclusive which is great.
EDIT: Maybe not. He is also claiming full PS5 exclusivity
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.How did Sony manage this? Maybe they acquired the IP from Konami but they haven't announced it yet?
I'm gonna go ahead and say that this guy just makes shit up for attention, from the PlayStation WWS OT:I don't know how reliable this guy is but he is claiming his own sources are corroborating the story. It might actually be happening.

Yeah, I would not take him seriously. He says a lot of things.

Which "legit" insiders have confirmed this?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.I thought i was misreading it, so it's two games by Team Siren and Kojipro? I don't know which will be more divergent to the old games.

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.Dusk Golem and RelyonHorror wouldn't have so much faith in this and be talking so much about it if it was bullshit.
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!
Looks like it's fappening
No not even close. Too much smoke.
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.You guys just need to put the KojiPro dreams on the back burner.

Theres a reason its 2 games in dev and not 1...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.

I want Toyama's SH more anyway. KP's Silent Hills would be a nice bonus though.
Agreed.If this happens I'd like to echo others and ask for a decent HD collection of the first 4 games.

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
Oh I didn't see that ign picked it up. What did they say?Even IGN is reporting this because it is coming from reputable sources.

Yeah, i would love to see Silent Hill 2 writer returning, but i believe he is still in Konami.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.

I am not a big fan of the first Silent Hill game.

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.

Perhaps. That doesn't mean I'm supposed to be excited for it out of the blue, though.

How's Konami's mobile and pachinko business? Is there an incentive for them to get back into big budget games?
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.
