Silent Hill Transmission | Konami Live

"SILENT HILL Transmission reveals the latest news for the SILENT HILL series."

[BrockEmSockEm]

Saw only PS5 logo for Silent Hill 2. Please don't be an exclusive.

Edit: It is. "*also available on PC. Not available on other formats for 12 months after release"

[porkChop]

It's another timed exclusive. It's to be expected. All the people thinking Abandoned was secretly PS and Kojima rebooting Silent Hill look pretty dumb right now.

[Eonjay]

It is launching exclusive for a year on pS5 then it will be on PC.

[MrNinosan]

@Eonaj
No, it launches on PS5 and PC, and after a year it can launch on other platforms.

[Eonjay]

@MrNinosan

Got it thanks

[JEECE]

It makes a lot of sense. Get $ from Sony to be exclusive for a year, sell copies of your game for $70, then get another big payment from MS to put your game on GP as soon as the exclusivity agreement ends. I expect we'll see a number of games like this during this generation.

[jznrpg]

It’s hard to say with times stuff because it may never come out later like FF7R . Who knows though

[Orchard]

Bloober Team... Konami why you got to do us like this. I suppose it could be worse - it could be Double Helix or Vatra.

[-Foxtrot]

Yeah...after their last games why these guys

I guess the story is already there and the like so they can't f*** it up really.

[Orchard]

Konami & Bloober: Challenge Accepted!

I'd say they've already ruined James. He looks weird, a bit like a kid in the face.

In all seriousness though, just don't touch the story at all. Zero reason to change the story. Then the only thing they can screw up is the gameplay/combat.

[JEECE]

Seriously. Why bother with this buildup and finally bringing back Silent Hill, only to give it it Bloober Team? Here's hoping they will turn out to be one of those teams that's really great at remaking games, even if they aren't so good at original IP.

[Orchard]

Agreed. Based on their past games, They really haven't earned the privilege of recreating one of the best games from the PS2 / to date.

[porkChop]

To be fair there's an existing game for them to pull from, including gameplay elements. As long as they follow the framework they should be fine.

[darthv72]

Hey now... what's wrong with double helix? I thought they did great with killer instinct.

@orchard, i wouldnt know about homecoming. I never played it or the PS1/2 versions. My introduction to SH1 is shattered memories on wii followed by the HD remaster collection of 2 & 3 on ps3. I know those werent as well received as the originals.

[Orchard]

KI was fine... SH Homecoming was probably the worst SH game I've ever played. Where do I even begin... Pyramid Head being there for no reason whatsoever other than 'SH fans like him, right!?", you don't even reach SH until near the end, the combat is just mash attack and dodge. I could go on.

Downpour had a decent storyline, but the implementation and gameplay were garbage.

[Orchard]

@darth Yeah, sadly the two western made mainline SH games just weren't that scary or well made.

I never played Shattered Memories, but you should totally grab an emulator (or original HW) and try the PS1 SH1. It's awesome, and with emulators you can even get it up to a decent framerate. I would love for a remake.

As for the HD Collection... it got a lot of stick. The performance was pretty jank, and they broke a lot of fundamental parts of the experience (like the fog, lighting & shadows), the new voice actors also sucked (optional in SH2, but mandatory in SH3). But the story itself & the gameplay stayed intact at least, so I'd say you didn't really miss too much by not playing the original.

[Star51]

Timed release. No cutting corners guys with development

[onisama]

For the player.... Proceed to buy half of the games as timed exclusives or 3rd party permanent exclusivity

[Orchard]

Well, you know for sure this will appear in the next statement MS submits to the CMA :P

Free live ammunition.

[darkrider]

We like to laugh with Microsoft Pr.

[VersusDMC]

Then Sony shows that Microsoft also paid for a timed exclusive from team Bloober(Medium)

So it is a wash.

[Orchard]

@darkrider Well Jim Ryan isn't laughing. He's deadly serious that PS needs COD to survive, and that no PS studio can create a game even close to COD.

@Versus Indeed. But you can guarantee MS are using any 3rd party exclusivity that Sony announces against them at this point. They're determined to make this acquisition go through.

[darkrider]

Buy half.. Timed exclusive... Excuses... This is exactly what happened when it was launched on the ps2. One year later it was on Xbox. Microsoft is lucky to even get this game. Sales wise it will flop, because Microsoft gamers don't buy games. This Games was a huge hit on the ps2 not on Xbox. It's not like it sold 60 or 70 % on Microsoft machine... Like other games that greedy company wants to buy and take from 160 millions gamers

[gold_drake]

as Microsoft did in the past.

lets also not forget that, babes

[onisama]

Give me a list and i will give you a pdf file with 3rd party exclsuivity and exclauive contents on PS... But anyway Rayan made a miatake crying and facing microsoft directly that he pis off even MS CEO.... Microsoft is avery aggressive compititor when they want to and Rayan will learn that next 10 years

[a7madRyan]

Its for playstation players, and sony is doing a great job so far this year

[CrimsonWing69]

I’ll be honest, the Remake was the only thing that did it for me.

Silent Hill f looked interesting conceptually, but felt nothing like Silent Hill to me. It could have just been a brand new IP. I do want to see more, but it not feeling or looking like Silent Hill made me disappointed.

The other projects I need to see more on before I can say anything, but I’m not exactly hyped on them, either.

[a7madRyan]

So it need to be in america to be silent hill?

[CrimsonWing69]

Isn’t that how locations work?

Can I ask you something just for a friendly discussion?

If I didn’t tell you Silent Hill f was a Silent Hill game, what from the teaser could you interpret was Silent Hill related?

Now don’t get wrong, I think it’s cool, but as something in terms of a Silent Hill game it did disappoint me. Keep in mind this is my reaction to what they’ve shown so far.

Maybe they’ll show me something that’ll really make me say, “Yes!!! This is Silent Hill!!!”

[Elda]

I never played any of the SH games because of my lack of interest of the games including the graphics looked bad compared to the RE games. I need to see gameplay to know if I want to finally play a SH game once it releases.

[1nsomniac]

So weird!

It's like Konami said "listen, we literally have nothing left so lets just throw everything we have at this and something will have to stick!"

I came away from that thinking this all feels like a Sh!t storm waiting to happen.

Some of the stuff sounds interesting but there's just way too much going on to keep it all under control & I simply don't think they have the skill to pull it all off. Think the whole project would be better off taking baby steps to begin with.

[_notafanboy_]

I don't get why so many people dislike Bloober Team. I actually think Bloober is the perfect fit for Silent Hill. Granted, I haven't played all of their past games, but I thought The Medium was great with a Silent Hill-esc atmosphere and Blair Witch was also really good. Other than Mr. Kojima, there's really none other better suited for this task IMHO. I think they will do a great job. Silent Hill 2 is my all-time favoutite game, so I'm cautiously optimistic. As long as they don't touch the story all that much, it could turn out to be pretty amazing. A little bummed about Akira Yamaoka making entirely new music for the remake, but hopefully he will do it justice and leave just as much emotional impact this time as he did first time around.

[jznrpg]

I think they will be fine with a remake . I was worried they were making a new game . The writer for F is really good so there’s promise there .

[The-Matrix-has-you]

Oh my god guys this is awesome!

[hotnickles]

That was wild good show from konami. Welcome back.
