What the Hell is Going on With The New Silent Hill Game?



It would make a lot of sense for Konami to take the licensing and outsourcing approach, if you think about it. It’s clear that they don’t think investing in development of AAA games is a good idea, but Konami has a stable of some of the best properties in gaming, and their value is undeniable, and clear for all to see. If they can make money off of these properties by partnering with other developers and having them work on new entries in major franchises, why wouldn’t they?

At this point, that’s little more than conjecture- but then again, conjecture and a truckload of rumours are all we have right now. Supposedly, a reveal for Silent Hill’s revival is imminent, so one way or another, we’ll know soon enough just what the future looks like for the series- or if it even has a future.

  1. Tbh I only want a new one if it’s made by team silent or maybe kojima purely on the strength of P.T. My heart cant handle the disappointment of another shitty western version that completely misses the point of the first games

  2. I disagree, the forth one is underrated af, and i find the shattered memories one as a masterpiece, not as good as the second but better than the first and the third one, also the soundtrack is amazing

  3. What is people's problem with part 4? Yeah it had issues but nothing major that prevented it from being a solid sequel. I actually like it more than 3, but that's just me I guess

  4. im scared for this game. seems like konami doesnt know what to do with the IP so they giving it to other devs to make a game out of it.

    a game with no vision is a scary thought to me.

  5. Wasn’t sh4 the last game by team silent? It was pretty damn good if different.

    When hills was cancelled I was hoping it was another Kojima long con… junji ito monsters, kojima weirdness, del torro, and some Norman reedus sprinkled in was too much to lose.

    I wouldn’t trust Konami with anything game related and would prefer they not shit on their properties anymore.

    If only they would only sell their ips to companies that actually cared.

  6. Quite understandable why they are not releasing any new silent hill game cuz the recent release like silent hill downpour or homecoming is just garbage,real silent hill game die after silent hill 3 and they are incapable to achieve the same height anymore

  7. I can imagine that Kojima would say fuck any offer Konami would offer him at this point. They really fucked him over with silent hills and MGSv. He still had a lot to do with mgsv and konami axed it heartlessly. Wonder how them pachinko machines are filling their wallets now that the pandemic happened. lol

  8. I just want the series ported to modern consoles. Never been able to play the original trilogy thanks to Konami straight up not giving a shit. The fact that they canceled silent hills just baffles me and everyone else out there.

  9. actually all the silent hill games are good….some are greater than others yes & the original 4 games done by team silent were the best in series but all the games were awesome even the least awesome game in the series silent hill homecoming was awesome in its own ways and lets not forget how good silent hill downpour was…the only silent hill game not worth anyone's time is book of memories but lets be honest its not really a silent hill game its just a horror hack & slash with a silent hill skin on it…..also shattered memories was a great retelling of the original game & origins felt so close the the original games to spite not being a team silent game…so silent hill 3 was not the last good silent hill game
