I think the chances of Capcom having anything to do with a Silent Hill game is very close to 0. I'm not even sure that they are open to licensing the RE Engine to anyone at all.
Nothing wrong no. It's just a weird question is all lol. Don't sweat it.
No, but Capcom being involved in this is almost at a 0% they have their own survival horror franchises they promote why would they take on the development of a Silent Hill title which is owned by Konami? They aren't exactly a mercenary dev
No. How about y'all stop yelling at people for talking on a forum.
I'll go a step further, I think Christophe Gans is never going to make another Silent Hill movie. I believe he wrote a script. I don't believe it's ever going into production. I understand there's some weird circumstance where he might have the rights to make one due to someone he knows but he'd still need to get a studio involved for the type of film it'd need to be. He shouldn't have claimed to have it coming because for years at this point SH fans have been saying "and another movie is being made", like it's filming right now or something.

Has Christophe Gans lied that brazenly before? The closest thing I know of is when he said Neil Gaiman was co-writing Silent Hill 2 with Roger Avary.
<i>Silent Hill 2</i> movie confirmed
[UPDATE] French director Christophe Gans tells magazine <i>DVDrama</i> that the movie is "well underway," though there's confusion over Neil Gaiman's possible contribution.

Heigh ho. Miles away from working internet, and the one time I try and get online I discover that Blogger has now updated itself out of Beta...journal.neilgaiman.com
(A Neil Gaiman Silent Hill story would be pretty sweet, though)
Whatever they're working on, it better not be a remake of the originals (especially Silent Hill 2). It doesn't matter who's helping them at that point. The only people who could pull that off is Team Silent and they're not around anymore.
Do you know if it's a remake or not?
Didn't the rumor said Konami wanted the remake to be faithful?
I know some people are burned out by the gimmick but I honestly think making a stalker segment with him would be cool. Specifically I'd like to see it in the Labyrinth. It feels to me like what they wanted to convey with the "he walks around in a circle" section.
I do think it's pretty clear in the original SH2 the team wanted to do a stalker Pyramid Head, it just didn't pan out due to technological problems at the time. You can even see in early trailers for SH2 Pyramid Head wandering the apartments and the city streets at night, but both were cut reportedly for AI limitations at the time.
Unfortunately this fanbase doesn't accept that anything could possible be changed or improved in SH2. Like, it's one of my favorite games of all time and it's fine how it is. But it's also clearly not perfect on a gameplay or technical standpoint at all and we have a lot of confirmation that there's stuff they wanted to do but couldn't. But this is the fanbase that harassed Tomm Hulett to the point of quitting partially because he at one point suggested there were gameplay elements of SH2 that weren't perfect. A remake that does anything more than a complete 1:1 in every way beyond prettier graphics will be roasted alive regardless of who is making it.
Perhaps. I think the SH fanbase is a bit different though. It was already in the process of eating itself alive back in the early 2010s as it split between "SH1-4 Only" and "The Newer Games Are Good Too" camps. The decade of stagnation put that process on hold a bit but I'm honestly not sure what the fanbase has become in the meantime. It's a weird situation. I think whatever happens we're going to see a lot of debate.
I kinda' don't want to confirm or deny the leaks I didn't post, what I will say is there's something about the leaks outside of myself I'm really pissed off about, and rightfully so I think, but talking about it specifically may give out a bit too much, which isn't what I want at this point. I'll probably talk about it once stuff is properly out there though, it's a bit of drama is all I'll say for now.
The problem is that Pyramid Head isn't hunting you, though. He isn't even trying to kill you. Pyramid Head canonically kills the other monsters to snap James out of his delusions. The only chase sequence in the game involves him targeting Maria and not you. Even in the Labyrinth, Pyramid Head doesn't chase you at all or attack you unless you go straight up to him. The same thing goes for the segments in the demo where Pyramid Head roams the streets of the town.
Silent Hill 2 is an authorial work of art with symbolism and subtext. Not every game is a digital toy or a blockbuster like Resident Evil. Obviously changing it in trendy misinterpretive ways (which is unnecessary to begin with) is going to spark outrage, I'm not sure why you would expect it not to.
I can fully understand this reasoning for commercial-driven blockbusters and most other video games, but Silent Hill 2 is basically a David Lynch film in video game form. I think that's the wrong mentality to approach a remake from in this instance. It's just not me saying this:

No idea, that never came through to me in that scene either.
The one with Pyramid Head and the Lying Figure? To me it's been very clear from the beginning that he's not "raping" the other monsters. SH2 treats the subject of sexual abuse very seriously and it's always bothered me that people made a bunch of tasteless rape jokes around Pyramid Head. It seemed clear to me that he was just killing them. Through, you know, suffocation. Which is far more relevant to James's story than rape.
The two areas in which the Pyramid Heads appear in the Labyrinth are optional and dead ends. If James follows the correct path, he'll never run into the PHs, which pretty much adds to they being a guide of sorts and keeping James from straying.
If everything is purely open to interpretation, doesn't that leave even less wiggle room for changes? I think there's a distinction between interpretations and doing over someone else's work.
What Bloober Team needs are better game designers, capable of producing more than the ultra rudimentary borefests they've outputted to date, and better programmers, capable of stringing together basic game logic that doesn't crumble the moment the user does anything but the one single action they anticipated.
