Out of curiosity, how are you feeling about it right now? It must be really weird.
Really excited, tbh. This is gonna be a hell of a show. And I'm pretty much confident that SH is gonna be shown there.
I know Dusk is only speculating here but I'll be disappointed as fuck if Sony and Konami set up all this hype with the DBD DLC only to disappoint us with a no-show on the 11th.
See that's kinda what I'm thinking too. But the more I ponder the more I feel like it makes more sense to show games that could be further out at the reveal, and focus on launch games in August closer to release.
Yeah, that makes sense. Though Dusk mentioned in that Twitter thread that he's positive that RE8 is going to be at the reveal event on the 11th, meaning that Silent Hill might indeed only be shown in August if what he's speculating ends up being true.
Now that you mention it, the PT Bathroom is mostly doable.
Still, weird mystery filth is preferable to roaches. Please no roaches, Toyama
I believe him too that RE8 is 100 percent going to be there. But the show will be a little over an hour, they can space them out just fine.
I'm absolutely thrilled. I'd love to see it at the conference, but as long as it's, in fact, in development then I can wait a couple of months.
I'm really curious to see how they reveal both. To my mind, the RE7 reveal is still the best of this generation, with the huge swerve at the end. RE2R was super playful too with the mouse PoV (while RE3R was kind of a mess imo).
Something something, make us think we're watching the Silent Hill trailer during the RE one, before transitioning into actual Silent Hill right after.
Used to be my regular forum in my early teens and somewhat in the later, during that point it was one of the biggest gaming sites in the nordic countries. I know theres some other language ones but its the swedish one that was the original. Dunno how reliable it is nowadays though, because we're talking like 8-10 years back here, and the site itself kinda died in the forum side after big overhauls and it being more and more of a comfy place for gamergate type people, probably due to the chief editor being a "keep politics outta my vidyagames" type dude. I know a ton of good writers left it over the years and went to other places. News section is probably still good though.
By now, anyone that's followed this thread with any degree of regularity should know that Dusk doesn't really know anything about this project and is just hearing second hand stuff. And before you get the pitchfork, that's what he has basically said several times, not me. I know he's been deified here and all, but just saying, don't look a lot into what he says about this Silent Hill game. By his own admittance, he's not in the know.
It's just the average site, nothing I would look too much into. That came from an article about unannounced games, and it's just regurgitated rumors about Batman, Demon's Souls remake, etc. I imagine probably a lot of comes from this very thread lol.

I'm not convinced that RE8 will be shown on the 11th but if we got it and SH at the same event...
It'll be one hell of a gift for horror fans!

Yeah RE7 and RE2R reveals were so good.
But if one of them had to skip this event it would be RE8 for me, just because SH deserves all the spotlight and because we got a lot of RE games this gen, so maybe in August? Of course both would be great tho^^
You ain't the only one lol.
Getting twitter DM's saying this better be real ...OR ELSE !
Let's hope this hype train has a final destination
To be fair though, the editor claimed to have their own source, if I read the article correctly and if it was correctly translated.
Also, Dusk Golem said he heard that other journalists heard about the game.
It is not so much that I believe any of this, though I wish it's all true.
Well, I mean of course that's what he's saying lol, but what I meant was none of these rumors are original. It's all just retellings of other rumors. Mass Effect trilogy was talked about by Jeff Grubb, the Batman and Demon's Souls remakes were from Jason Schrier, and the Silent Hill stuff was from here. He may have 'original sources,' but it's largely just the same stuff multiple people have being saying alright.
That's largely what I mean. Dusk's whole thing about this has been, 'I hear this from someone else, but I don't know. I want to believe.' People just tend to hang on his every word and all, but if you're actually reading what he's writing, it's clear all of his information about this particular project is stuff he's getting second hand from others. It's fine if he thinks it's reliable but it doesn't really mean much outside what we know from this thread, and have known from this thread for like months lol.
I think people are just kind of stir-crazy because he hadn't gotten any new leaks or info, and we haven't gotten anyone else that's like a silver bullet (like Jason Schrier, for instance) to 100% remove all doubt. We know what we know and have known for months, and that's all we know lol.

Hey, I've been stalking this thread for months now and finally decided to hop in. I really hope that Masahiro Ito is playing coy in this tweet response about the event he made today... not to derail the hype train, just something I noticed. I understand he wouldn't say anything that could spoil its intended reveal- but why respond at all? Unless that's part of the cat and mouse game? What are your thoughts on this? I've been keeping up with the rumors since RelyonHorror ran with the initial leaks back in February- so I've been invested in this roller coaster for some time.
He's responded to a number of tweets like this. He's just said "I don't know" every time. Doesn't mean much either way.
Hell, the fact that he's never outright denied it is probably-maybe a good thing.
I think you'd be better served by not worrying too much about what individual game developers have to say to random people who tweet at them. You're not going to see a smoking gun on Twitter like that.
Very true.
Valid point, I guess I've just seen so much of the hearsay about this coming from some of the things that he's tweeted that I got into the habit of reading a bit too much into them.
.
Surely that tweet means nothing. I guess you could read into it if you truly wished, but it seems maybe unnecessary to do so.

There are very few games that could make me buy a new console just to play them and a new, actually good Silent Hill, is among them. If the new Paper Mario is great and this is actually real and looks great... man, what an amazing June it could be. Here's hoping TLoU2 is great too.
Honestly, it'd be strange if RE8 is in the event and Silent Hill isn't. I get that SH will probably be released later than RE8, but they're both releasing in 2021 anyway and Silent Hill is at least exclusive to next-gen. We did hear that some plans shifted because of how Xbox 20/20 and Unreal Engine 5 reveal were received, so I wouldn't be surprised to see Sony doubling down on showing their next-gen efforts even if we won't get them on launch. 2021 isn't that far off, anyway.
The day Silent Hill PS5 releases, I'm buying a PS5 along with a 4K TV. It will be a glorious day.
Not before sacrificing KatharsisT in some cruel ritual.
"Kidding! I believed Katharsis from the start."
I would say if by the end of August, there's no sign of this game, the thread should definitely be shut down imo. Because at that point, it's either not real or at the very least much farther down the road than anyone thinks. Either way, at that point, there would be nothing to discuss and no real endpoint for any speculation.
You've got a point there, actually. People have been throwing around 2021 as a target release but Sony could have elected to make this a 2022 release recently (or it may have always been 2022)
In two days you may become the next CBOAT.
RIP CBoat, Long Live KatharsisT.
yeah I know cboat was just a pseudonym for shared admin account leaks lol
Well, 2021 is what KatharsisT said, as you see above, so that's where it comes from. But if development started in 2019 as she also said, yeah, it's very likely it could slip into 2022 is basically what I meant. 2 year cycle is pretty tight honestly, especially assuming there is a decent budget to this, so it wouldn't surprise me.
If it is in active development, I hope they just announce it rather than sitting on a reveal until later in time. I don't think people would mind waiting a long time for a release date.
The aim is apparently 2021, so you wouldn't have to wait all that long if that development stays on track and there is no delay.
Wait until 2021 is nothing. Remember the latest AAA from PlayStation ? Spider-Man, we had to wait 2 years, same for GoW. 3 years for Death Stranding and 4 years for Last of Us Part.2. Oh and 3 years for Ghost of Tsushima. Around 1 year to wait is absolutely nothing.
Oh yeah it's definitely tight and I wouldn't be surprised if this gets delayed, especially with many things still in flux because of Covid. But if 2021 is still their target release, then they probably have a plan to start marketing soon, and I'd find it weird if this game isn't revealed on June 11 but RE8 is considering they're both releasing the same year and the latter is a cross-gen title. Friday is supposed to be their big next-gen reveal so a cross-gen title being prioritized would be strange, imo.
I mean, it's not fixed and I could be wrong, but just my two cents here.
Well, it depends on when in 2021 we're potentially talking about. If it's early 2021, sure, but if it's later in the year, there's still a lot of time. Most of the games came out in the June-September range, for instance, so if that's what we're looking at they still have a lot of marketing time. RE8 is apparently planned for as early as January, so they have a much tighter window if that remains true.
And RE8, in general, is going to be a far bigger game than SH whether it's crossgen or not, so it's not that strange one way regardless
So a crazy shot in the dark. What if Antony Johnston is the writer on this?
The timing matches up, he's worked on a Japanese game before, Cerny randomly brought up Dead Space in the PS5 presentation. To be clear, I think this has like a 1% chance of being right, but it would be fun to have called it if it is lol.
EDIT: He could also be on RE8 since RE7 was a Western writer too.
