With all the twists and turns around this rumor, I now understand religion. I believe this exists, even if it's becoming increasingly difficult to do so.

The first bit about the trademark and the UK recession and the pastebin about Microsoft buying Konami are new to me.
Also, I think the rumor about Sony buying/working on Konami IPs came out after the ROH article and after KatharsisT posted their source. They had to come out to refute that none of them have actually heard of Sony using other Konami IPs, and that rumor pretty much just came from 4chan.
Hahahaaa. Sony turning folks into believersWith all the twists and turns around this rumor, I now understand religion. I believe this exists, even if it's becoming increasingly difficult to do so.

And released in 2025
Dusk Golem said:This is for the Silent Hill Era thread where they're trying to put together a timeline. I first heard about the Silent Hill project in May of 2018 from a personal friend who told me their studio was approached by Konami for a Silent Hill pitch. They asked me to not share for for a while publicly, though they ultimately did not get the job. I got someone at a different studio who emailed me about this also in June of 2018, who also didn't get it. In May of 2019 a long-time friend in Japan told me he had heard a Silent Hill game was in dev, and a couple people involved, but I still haven't shared their names as was asked not to.
In August of 2019 with the trademark thing, I talked with Cj at Rely on Horror about it, and Cj knew someone who had also heard about the Japanese developed SH and heard Masahiro Ito was was working on it. I mentioned the 2018 thing in January at the start of this year after holding onto it for a year and a half. At the time this got mixed up with other stuff I wasn't aware at the time. Since then, last month another Japanese dev friend working on something I can't talk about told me pretty directly that they knew about the Japanese developed Silent Hill game, and I could mention that but not what they're working on.
This is my side of it ignoring all the Katharsis things if you want a timeline.
So does Katharsis know, or are they taking the word of someone who "knows"?I don't know. That's the frustrating thing. That side of the story is from Katharsis. Katharsis does know someone who would know. I mainly know and have had it vetted now multiple times that a Japanese made Silent Hill game started development at the start of 2019.
Thread in link above, quote below.
Doesn't really clear anything else up other than they heard through a friend that it's being worked on but not by or for who.
When asked is this the SIE Silent Hills:

Follow for more info to unpack as Dusk replies.
The PS5 event was postponed by a week as a result of the unrest in the United States at the moment. Did that situation lead to any changes in the content shown or anything else in today's presentation?
No, it did not.
A Black Lives Matter movement is not going to affect a Silent Hill game either way. That's what they asked him about.

Apparently something went screwy with his password with his new phone.Whats the deal with Dusk responding to Era on Twitter? He has an unbanned account here, he's a mod too.

Either way, I'm on this Silent Hill train... all the way down.
And then removed from the PSN servers after being online for a few months because #konami
This thread in a nutshell lolNothing in that is new, it's just the same stuff as we've had before.
Ah, I see. Having both a PC and phone die at the same time is pretty darn unfortunate.
I mean he's a moderator here so I imagine he might have a direct line to Discord or whatever to get unblocked
He's back!!!Actually tweeting about it helped, so I can respond more directly again!
I've decided to re-open my investigation, now seems a good time as more have also seemingly heard about it and that can stop the constant repeating of tidbits (the only new piece is really, really promising and I know something that would excite a lot of people from a friend from a couple weeks back, but yes it's one of those fucking things people would ask, "Why talk about it if you can't share it, we're still in the same position?" I know a lot of this amounts to, "trust me," remarks publicly but I also promise my "trust me," is bigger and more meaningful now).
I'll keep posted if I find anything that hasn't been mentioned so far.

The game entered development in early 2019, right? If that's the case it may be too early to be shown this year or it just wasnt ready due to working from home because of COVID. I dont expect a Silent Hill soft reboot to take 4-5 years to develop, three years seems pretty safe, so if it's real (I believe) then we should be looking at late 2021 or early 2022.Actually tweeting about it helped, so I can respond more directly again!

With no offense to any of the leakers, I think Silent Hill isnt actually a thing and will turn out to be fake.
Why did you reply if you have nothing of significance to say.
Jeff Grubb(who originally leaked the exact date of the PS5 reveal over a month before it happened) said two weeks before they even announced the event that they actually cut a lot of games from it and will have another separate event in August. He said that weeks before the protest even started.
This amounts to almost nothing. if you have something the new to say just say it don't continue to waste people's timeActually tweeting about it helped, so I can respond more directly again!

While there's been a lot of claims to this, it's worth mentioning that Sony has said no games were actually cut from the June show. I can't remember the thread it was in (it may have gotten a dedicated thread, I can't recall). Take that as you will.
The bulk of the rumor/leak/whatever that excites me is it being a reteaming of Toyama, Ito, and Yamaoka (and maybe Owaku) with the quality & presumed creative freedom of a Sony first party studio behind it.
And I guess that element of it comes exclusively from KatharsisT and their connection.
Scenario 2 being a new Silent Hill being in development by a (as of now unknown) Japanese developer can mean a lot of things, but it having the creatively bankrupt grip of modern Konami around its neck would definitely feel like a monkey's paw at this point.
I'd love to be wrong about that, though. I just want a new, good Silent Hill game.
Not defending the narrative, but according to that BBC interview with Jim Ryan, the unrest didn't affect their plans, not that their plans never changed, which they don't bring up, as far as I know.
Is that not about the quote I was replying to? If so that question was clearly about the one week delay. Jeff Grubbs leak about the separate event was from over a month ago.While there's been a lot of claims to this, it's worth mentioning that Sony has said no games were actually cut from the June show.

Yeah that clearly is only about the one week delay.Here is the quote from the BBC interview. Interpret it however you want:
The PS5 event was postponed by a week as a result of the unrest in the United States at the moment. Did that situation lead to any changes in the content shown or anything else in today's presentation?
No, it did not.
Oh my GAAAAAAAAAAAAD what about the UK/non-Yank countries, man? I am enraged.
EDIT: WE GOT 'EM
Yeah I'm saying things got cut over a month ago before they even filmed the event. If you go back in this thread far enough you'll even find post from Katharsis saying she was worried because of Grubbs leaks about the August event.Oh, I guess it is lol. And no, it's clearly not just talking about the one week delay. He's explicitly saying the content of the show didn't change. People are saying things got 'cut,' a word you used, and that quote is saying the opposite.

Good Lord, guys lol. I am saying that the June show, as it was, had no cuts to it. Maybe there was a decision months ago to have two different shows, but the narrative that this show that we saw and they scheduled for June had games cut is being denied. I'm well aware of rumors of two potential shows, check the threadmarks, I've been the one trying to keep the information as straight as possible. If you want to believe that's not true, fine, I'm just telling you what was clearly stated. Shields down, boys. I'm not saying it's not true lol.
