Ok by now, we shoudl have gotten any hint if the game is going to be shown during August SOP or not.
I don't think I like that idea, honestly. Like New England is a really close-knit area. If an entire resort town just vanished or got hit with a supernatural cataclysmic event, everyone in the surrounding states would know about it. I think the only logical explanation is that the borderline between the realms is just so frayed that it appears completely normal and safe to most people and it appears completely differently for people attuned to or being targeted by the town's supernatural side.
I absolutely don't know when Sony will make the full reveal of the PS5 with games. I just know it's a little bit delayed cause of Covid-19. I know which games they have in mind for the launch but I don't think it's my job to reveal them. If you're paying attention, you already know which games it could be. But due to Covid-19, plans could change. PS5 isn't delayed yet and they're not planning to delay it. I assume that the PS5 event will be digital if we don't find a solution for this virus soon and that Silent Hill could be announced during this event. If not, it'll be before the PS5 launch if Sony don't change plans. Maximum in October. Silent Hill reboot has been in development for more than a year so far. A build is already playable and they're ready to make a teaser for it. Toyama, Ito and Yamaoka are involved and can't wait to show what they've in store.
It didn't go completely unnoticed, Cybil was sent to investigate because her police department suddenly lost communication with Silent Hill, and it's obvious why, which I think counts as pretty strong evidence pointing towards my way of looking at the story.
As for why it doesn't cause a bigger splash than that. Who knows? Plot convenience I guess. Perhaps it's the influence of the town. Just as it draws some people in it might push others away.
If you believe the rumors, the Silent Hills thing was in talks, but it ultimately fell through. No one can give a clear answer about how far long it supposed was, but if that's true, then yeah, this wouldn't be related to Silent Hills.
EDIT: That headline also seems to be kind of inaccurate. It seems it's just been talk between the two, they aren't actively working on anything at the time.
I would say real gameplay of Miles Morales and maybe Horizon would already be a big "bomb" after all showcases that happened already.
Maybe some "sugar" like free PS5 boost patches for TLOU2 and Ghost of Tsushima with gameplay, and as a finisher the UI and price.
Booom, there you go...
Genuinely cannot wait for this game to be revealed (still confident about that personally) so this thread can be put to rest.
What other bomb do they have to drop in August if not Silent Hill?
Seems a high likelihood that ideas Kojima (and Del toro) had for Silent Hills could be revived in this project. Very excited for it due to the collaborations he will have with other creatives.
Is a shame that supposedly Silent Hills talks fell through, although is there any actual concrete evidence that the revival of it was ditched by Konami?!
Without Kojima involved, I doubt any of his ideas would be used or if anyone really knows what he was going to do outside himself. You have to realize that Silent Hills never really existed outside PT, and that was never going to be a representation of the final game.
And it depends on what you mean by concrete. Nothing we have about any of this this is concrete lol, but Dusk and KT have both said that Silent Hills isn't happening anymore, so if you believe them on everything else, then yes? It really just depends on how much you believe these rumors.

No
Exclusive?
You don't think if it was a return to fantasy Yoshida directed FF it wouldn't be a big drop? (if it was timed exclusive)I don't think a multiplatform game would be the kind of midsummer megaton anyone should get hyped for.
Kojima also doesn't seem like the kind of person who's so outwardly spiteful that he'd be like "I'm just gonna use all the ideas I had for my Silent Hill game and make it without the Silent Hill name".
If he IS making a new horror game, it's probably an entirely new idea.
Jeff grubb had it on his summer list and he's been on point all summer.

Yeah, probably, but we don't really know if those ideas ever really were put into any practice at Konami since the project had so little work done. All we know is he had a lot of vague ideas for what he might have done, and all of those were on the technical side.
My point was that the game wasn't far enough along to be 'revived' without Kojima anyway, so I don't think any ideas would be used since most of those ideas probably never existed in any tangible way to begin with
I don't think a multiplatform game would be the kind of midsummer megaton anyone should get hyped for.
In what universe is Silent Hill a megaton and Final Fantasy not?
What's the date of the August show? I can't find that Sony ever said they have a presentation in August.
I never said it was. My whole point is that a multiplatform game is not a megaton. We all know FF16 is coming eventually, a game that isn't exclusive to Playstation is not the kind of super-amazing announcement that would shock everyone.
That's a VERY strange perspective. Only exclusive games can be megatons? WTF? I don't know if this is a console war thing or not, but it's certainly a weird perspective. And it reads that you're saying on Playstation exclusives can be some kind of "super-amazing announcement that would shock everyone"
Seriously, wtf is this??

SH is ''dead'', FF isn't.
Everyone knows that FF16 will arrive one day, and if it's exclusive it's even worse, SH people will give a pass since, in theory, it would not even exist without Sony(and the developers), so it's "ok" to be exclusive, but FF?
It's a franchise that's doing (really) well, its image is associated with Sony but it's a franchise that is multiplataform since a decade ago, so I couldn't care less about this game being exclusive, it's not like they need it.
So you don't think Shenmue 3 would have had the same impact if it was announced coming to Xbox as well? I strongly disagree with that. I think exclusives have very little to do with what is or is not a megaton. I guess console warriors want to hype up so-called megatons to say ha look at this amazing megaton only coming to Playstation or Xbox. But that's always silly.I'm saying that it's not a megaton for Sony to show a trailer of a game that everyone knows is coming and that everyone knows will be on every platform but Switch.
Megaton announcements are typically shocking, unexpected games and huge key exclusive titles, NOT obvious, inevitable sequels.

The same with Silent Hill. IF/when it is announced, if it ended up coming to Xbox One that would not take away the fact that it's a megaton and holy shit Silent Hill is back!
Okay, so we agree. It's more to do with something unexpected that is liked by the core gaming community, often based on nostalgia. It has little to do with whether it's exclusive or not. I guess you could argue that the dev could add to the megaton, but in this case I think whether it was Sony or Konami wouldn't make much of a difference, as long as it is a return to its roots (which it sounds like it is based on rumors).Shenmue 3 was a massive shock. Final Fantasy XVI is not a shocking announcement.
Maybe PS6.Change OT title to Update: Maybe next month
Will never be wrong.

Most won't know this, but this is something Katharsis told me to look out for this year to show he was telling the truth and it'd be revealed this year. Junji Ito and Kojima working together on a manga and thinking about a game. So this is actually a huge development for this rumor. They've been collaborating on something together is part of what I was told.

Kojima working with Junji Ito on a horror game isn't way out there in terms of of probability.
Junji Ito was planned to help on Silent Hills even though he didn't do anything for the game really, but that's not what this is about. The thing is this fits precisely with what I heard, IE Junji Ito and Kojima were already collaborating and talking over something else that wasn't Silent Hill, they are working on a manga together and were thinking about doing a game together with the two of them being the key people to conceptualize it together.Considering Junji Ito was already planning to work on Silent Hills (fuck ME that would've been legendary), it's not shocking.
I think it has more to do with Silent Hill already primarily being a PlayStation franchise. That's really the only system the series has consistently released on.SH is ''dead'', FF isn't.

Yeah I mean, I was just saying in general I'm not surprised he's working with Kojima again, wasn't really responding to your post.Junji Ito was planned to help on Silent Hills even though he didn't do anything for the game really, but that's not what this is about. The thing is this fits precisely with what I heard, IE Junji Ito and Kojima were already collaborating and talking over something else that wasn't Silent Hill, they are working on a manga together and were thinking about doing a game together with the two of them being the key people to conceptualize it together.
I understand on the surface it's, "Well he was going to be part of Silent Hills, so it's not that surprising," but I mean specifically this fits exactly with how Katharsis said Junji Ito's exact place in all of this was, IE not attached to Silent Hills but attended some Silent Hills meetings with Kojima when Kojima was deciding what project to go forward with, collaborating with Kojima already on a manga, he and Kojima were thinking of teaming up to do a game with the two of them being the creative leads, etc. And I was told specifically around summer there'd be more coming out with the two of them talking about their collaboration even.
Considering Junji Ito was already planning to work on Silent Hills (fuck ME that would've been legendary), it's not shocking.
