Considering that this was supposed to be announced at E3 along with Silent Hill, this brings me hope that we'll see something about the reboot at TGAs but I'm still not holding my breath
I never bought the two year development window. I mean come on, two years? FOH!
I'm confused / have missed something. Are you maybe mixing up the director of Dead Space (who is announcing at TGA) and the writer of Dead Space (who tweeted that something he was working on was going to be at the Sony PS5 event, and then deleted when his game wasn't there)?
And I don't just mean KatharsisT, I mean this is probably how the whole rumour started in general. There's no telling who has seen what specifically.
I really should not have clicked on the thread XDI'll be happy if something shows up tomorrow, but I'm not expecting it. Should be a fun showing regardless.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I'm the first one that started the rumor stuff.

It was when it got traction, I even knew when the Rely on Horror was dropping their stuff.The first time I remember this rumor popping up was in conjunction with several other rumors with the first being Rely on Horror, to my knowledge. You've said before you have friends there or something, so I have no idea if this was one of those things where you all coordinated about it or whatever. That's something you'll have to go back and sort out yourself, but that's the first time I recall the rumor being out there, or at least when it started getting any kind of traction.
There is honestly no scenario I could ever accept with any interest other than Silent Hills, plus the return of P.T.
I don't even remotely care about any new SH game until they release the one that was promised, and even then it doesn't come close to making up for the bullshit Konami has given us.
I believe dusk golem. He's been spot on in the past. It exists. Whether it gets announced at the games awards is another thingI think it's healthy to just realize this game doesn't exist or never existed for sanity's sake.

Edit: Dusk Golem When do you think this Silent Hill game might be revealed if it's supposed to be released in 2021?
I think it's safer to just assume there is a Silent Hill game being made, just not one BY SONY.
Even if they somehow brought the title back, it wouldn't be the same game. Things have changed a lot in the several years since that project was killed.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I'm the first one that started the rumor stuff. And I can tell you what I specifically heard I consider 100% there's no correlation between your suspicions and it being mistaken for something else. I've repeated this a lot, in the summer of 2018 a friend at a studio told me that they were making a pitch to Konami for a Silent Hill game, not to talk about this for a while because it was all fresh, but Konami were shopping around at multiple studios for two Silent Hill games to greenlight, one a soft reboot, the other a narrative-focused episodic game. A few weeks later I got a message from someone else who I don't really know, but from another studio and all the details lined up with what my friend had told me. In the end, neither studio got the job though.
I know I was the first person to talk about this publicly, but since then some others have come forth to back that up in SH circles. That doesn't surprise me since apparently several studios were contacted to submit pitches, so those with connections probably heard about it, and there's no mistaking this as anything other than Silent Hill as it was Konami directly seeking to fund two Silent Hill games.
Now the first thing there's no mistaking it, the second it could be mistaken, but I doubt it. I do little indie games, and have been fortunate to network with other indie horror game creators, plus my partner in game creation lives in Japan and has connections herself. Someone I know a bit personally who's a game dev in Japan knows I'm a big horror buff, and let me know in mid-2019 that through some "water cooler talk" among game devs, he had heard a Silent Hill game had started dev at a Japanese studio at the start of the year. This person is an extremely honest sort, only mentioned it to me since we're friends and knows I love the series and horror stuff, they literally had zero reason to lie about it, and have let me know little other nuggets over time that all end up being true.
In mid-2020, a good acquaintance of mine knew I was talking about the Silent Hill rumors. They didn't tell me anything specifically, but they are working with Konami on something entirely unrelated to all of this. They just gave me a nudge to let me know they were "mighty positive" something Silent Hill was in the works currently, wouldn't tell me any more than that (and that's fair, they have a personal leg in the race), but were fine joining the list of people who know and can corroborate it for me.
None of this had to do with who precisely was making it though, this just was all backing that Konami went shopping for a couple Silent Hill games in 2018, and a Japanese developed SH game started dev at the beginning of 2019.
I have talked to Katharsis as well, if they're telling the truth, their source is not mistaken about it being Silent Hill either. Same with the other person I talked to on Reddit, who both gave me very detailed stories that do add up, and despite everything I still have belief in. Maybe I'm foolish, but at the very least I do have a sense both are being as open and honest as they can be.
Hopefully the clears some confusion.

I'm fine with that, as long as it still keeps the majority of concepts and ideas they had (of which allegedly there was a LOT).
I don't even need Kojima back as director, just have him as a producer who shares everything he wanted to do. Norman doesn't need to be back either.
Ito must absolutely be involved, however. You can't tease me with the idea of Ito as collaborating on an SH and not do anything with it.
And to be fair, I think it's very possible for insiders to hear stuff like this without any dishonesty involved (given the circumstances), even if there is no immediate project in development. Konami is at the very least weighing their options for the next Silent Hill title, and other rumours (such as the one Reddit leak about "Konami is making a full remake of the original and a Shattered Memories-style spin-off") suggest that there is a lot of Chinese Whispers going on right now.
We got thousands of posts of fun out of them, though.
That's where I'm at cause I really don't know what's going on with this rumor anymore.I think it's healthy to just realize this game doesn't exist or never existed for sanity's sake.
They wasn't, not really.
One thing you need to realize about Silent Hills is that Silent Hills never existed. P.T. was just a teaser, a glorified tech demo, and there was no Silent Hills actually in active development even if the project had officially been greenlit. Not a single piece of concept art work was even submitted for it. Silent Hills literally just existed in the head of Kojima as a bunch of loose and vague ideas, and we have no idea (and he probably has not idea) how any of that would have translated to an actual game
One thing often forgotten in these PT discussion is that there was a different Silent Hills trailer shown at some point, and it looked totally different than PT! Granted, it was all CG and was probably entirely outsourced but it shows that there really was no good idea internally what a Silent Hills would even look like.
...Also, I'm still on the hype train. Why? Because Silent Hill is about suffering.
I don't know if in marketing something like the norm exists for everything. Sony for a couple of years had a very similar way to announce titles a few years before release, with a short narration and then a Gameplay concept. They completly changed this in 2019.They have not revealed a game at TGA since the first TLOU in 2010, over 10 years ago. What events outside their own events, whether digital or in-person, have they revealed anything major in the last, like, 5 years+?
It may make sense to you and on paper, but it would be a pretty huge deviation from the norm. Don't expect it even if you want to assume the rumor is still all real
I say this about once a page, but since these people are masochists, they continue their public flagellation.Either way, I'm done with these rumors. though I'd still like to discuss things Silent Hill related that actually exist.

Enjoy the constant disappointment!
Be honest, does anyone in here actually believe the rumors at this point XD?
Or are yall just here for the shitposting/random SH nostalgia?
Absolutely. Way too much smoke. I'm also all bought in on Sony making it. Really have no idea if it'll be shown tonight, though.Be honest, does anyone in here actually believe the rumors at this point XD?
