(Rumor) Multiple Silent Hill Titles In Development
- Thread starter Lannisters1798
- Start date
I'd buy it if it was real.
But this is kinda the Sonic cycle of horror games; Silent Hill rumours leak - Fans get excited over a new SH that isn't pachinko trash - Rumours turn out to be nothingburgers - Fans tell Konami to go fuck itself. Rinse and repeat.

Ugh depends on the developers they give the series to,cause silent hill hasn't been good since 3
There is no reason to come to this conclusion at all. A Until Dawn style game and series reboot both sound good to me.
Hope there's a damn good writer involved. Granted, Until Dawn looked fantastic, but it was really carried by the writing and a SH in that gameplay style would be no different.
If these rumors are true (I have no reason to doubt Dusk), I'm dyin' to find out what studios are involved.
I for one cannot wait to feel the EXCITE RUSH of the new pachinko machines lol
This probably isn't the thread for this, but I do wonder if the gym/pachinko focused boardbois in Minato are looking at Capcom's success this gen and thinking "maybe console gaming isn't dead? maybe we could be getting some of those sweet, sweet reboot bucks?" They bet wrong on this gen. Not the only JP company to do so, but they certainly have lost the most ground. Their shitty corporate culture can't be ignored here of course.

I never heard the term Magical Negro, so I did some Googling to see it was popularized by Spike Lee, but whatever that's not the point. The point is, that this lead me to looking at the list Wikipedia had and looking how many times Morgan Freeman popped up. The funniest part is that Shaq made the list as Kazaam.Maybe it's Team Silent. Masahiro Ito might be involved.
And the lore does need a refresh. The western companies did a number on it. Remember magical negro?
Bluepoint for the traditional Silent Hill game.
Supermassive for the Until Dawn like Silent Hill game.
Both PS5 exclusive.

He did work on Metal Gear Survive, as much as we would like to forget, so it wouldn't be a stretch.
I want to believe..
I hope he is involved and they can get other ex-Team Silent guys on board. But just thinking about Konami - so many things can go wrong.
Unlikely, but it would certainly be a lot more preferable than
a developer that doesn't have much of a good track record outside of racing games,
a studio that specialized primarily in mediocre movie licensed games,
a mobile game studio that had no experience with HD titles,
and a developer that literally no one had heard of.
Can't wait to play the Tommy Wiseau version...
You're tearing me apart Lisa!
Not gonna deny that Climax UK wasn't more than this, but do remember that Sam Barlow was part of Climax UK and worked on Silent Hill: Origins (which is rather meh), then Shattered Memories (which is controversial, but at least it was its own thing) before going on to do Her Story and Telling Lies. I can't vouch for the latter, but Her Story is great and you could already see how Barlow's mind works in Shattered Memories.
There's probably some great talents in these small teams, but I wouldn't be surprised if Konami had something to do with some of the games sucking (who could remember how they decided to put Korn in Downpour, against the wishes of the developers, who already contacted Akira Yamaoka to do a vocal track for them?).
(Though yes, I prefer they give this to Team Silent or even Platinum)
WHY Platinum? What have they ever done that makes one think they'd be a good fit for a horror game? I keep seeing them brought up in this thread and I straight-up do not understand it.
They're not actually my ideal developers lol. I was just replying to the quote which referenced Platinum as an unlikely developer).
At the very least, I like how atmospheric Nier: Automata was, and that's in spite of a low budget (though much of it I guess was attributed to the game's music, but that should be fine if they get Yamaoka back).
I honestly think a smaller team--independent developers--would do wonders with the IP.

I'm so annoyed that in spite of common sense that this probably won't go well - 'cause Konami - I still have a tiny bit of hope, lol.
Sigh.
Sigh.
Multiple is what scares me...
I agree that a remake of the first one like REmake would be a great way to get people back in SH world. The good thing for the series is also that every game dont need to be connected, so after that if its succesfull enough, they can go on with something new in the series.

Well if it's not with Masahiro Ito, Akira Yamoka, Joe Romersa and all the membersd who made the real Silent Hill games succeed then it won't be a Silent Hill. I that case sell the IP to Sony and let Kojima handle it and so he brings the old members back.
At this point I would happily accept a game at the level of SH 4 or Downpour
They can't even re-release the good Silent Hills they already have in a decent manner
Silent Hill HD Collection was broadly the most stupid pile of mistakes and unforced errors I've seen
Give me a decent way to play a nice version of 2 without having to play the PC version with fan mods fixing your damn shit, then we will talk

I'd buy it.
As long as it's not Homecoming 2, Shattered Memories 2 or Book of Memories 2, I'm game. I'd even take a sequel to that weird, Japanese-only Game Boy adaption of the first game. Or HD upports of the Silent Hill: Orphan/Mobile games. Or the arcade game
Just not more Homecoming, Shattered Memories or Book of Memories.
No, not really.
The best Silent Hill game is pretty much a new beginning that could have made the series work as an anthology, which probably would serve the purpose of different teams working on it much better than the obssession with extending the incredibly vague plot of the first game.
2, 4, Origins and Homecoming are standalone titles for all we can tell.
Just make a new game with modern sensibilities into design set in Silent Hill and we are golden.
