Ehhhhhhhh...Silent Hills didn't really ever start active development.
Ah, I think I have seen those, but forgot all about it. Thanks.
It wasn't, really. I mean, on paper, it was greenlit, but Junji Ito revealed that despite being a concept artist on the project, he never submitted a single piece of art and didn't even know the project was canceled until it was officially announced. There's no indication more work went into it beside what he saw in PT and that pitch trailer that they showed at a GDC, I think. I guess it depends on what you consider 'real,' I guess.
Okay? I'm not sure what you're trying to point out. That doesn't pertain to what I said.
My read on the situation is that Silent Hills was basically Kojima's last desperate gambit within Konami. He roped together commitments from a bunch of famous folks despite Konami already being super mad at him for MGSV and other things, and PT was his attempt to effectively nudge Konami into moving forward with a project they weren't sure about.
The demo got a surprising amount of buzz, but it wasn't enough to cajole Konami into committing to the project (given Kojima's penchant for going over-budget and past-deadline) and things fell apart and the rest is history.
Wasn't it konami that wanted kojima to work on a new silent hill?
I don't know about that, but it was pretty obvious by 2015 they didn't want him to work on anything.
Maybe at some point in history, but by the time PT was announced, I sincerely doubt that. Kojima was already on the outs with management by then. I can't imagine the same folks who basically moved him to an empty floor away from his team out of spite were like 'yeah here take another one of our IPs and do whatever you want with it".
NGL, if we get a re-release with a PC port, I will be quite nappy, :)
Rockstar's AGENT, now with 200% more twangy guitar ambience.
Oh dear, what do we have here? Another Silent Hill rumor, I fear.

I'll still stay on this train until the very end, but goddamn it the false hope hurts a bit every time.
Some have interpreted the context of those tweets to mean his previous projects were cancelled over the years, and weren't Silent Hill. Remember that English isn't M. Ito's first language. Jury's still out as to whether he also meant his most recent game, though.
Is Shadows of the Damned a ''people may have been hoping to hear about'' situation?
Like I really can't see he referring to anything other than SH or Bokeh's project.

It was super fun to have him and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn back together again on The Medium soundtrack, so I can't wait for more.
Just a reminder that Sony doesn't give a shit about their Japanese division. The rumor about former Team Silent members working on a new Silent Hill doesn't seem very likely when the creator of Silent Hill has recently left Sony.
