Wheres team fake?

listen hulk hogan GIF by WWE
Still right here winning.

As has been said 1000 times before, Kojima making a Silent Hill means nothing. Team Fake is that Hasan/Bluebox aren't Kojima in disguise developing a Silent Hill.

This rumor just goes back and forth

It's real
It's fake
Its Kojima
Its Japan Studios
Its Hassan
Sony bought all Konami IP's (Yet the remake is being made by a Chinese developer, so I'm assuming that means the remake is not exclusive)
Its Bloober Team making SH

Wrong, I'm sorry but silent Hill is a trash IP and Sony would be better off just contracting Kojima or somebody to create a new horror IP.

Trash?

Some of the best horror games out there

But imma keep it real, the games haven't aged well at all

Hand it over to Kojima

The thing is it was real all along, by the time the first rumors popped up it was just in talks or very early production. As everyone knows games take years to be made.

Kojima Productions probably just started full development in 2019 after Death Stranding was complete. Of course they were working on something since then, because you only need a Skeleton Crew for the directors cut.

We are also living in a time where everything takes longer than usual. Things get delayed.

People need to accept it, that it’s happening, I know that a lot of people here hoped that Kojima productions would work solely on a Microsoft project, but if the Microsoft rumors are true, I think it’s just a smaller side project.

i also hear a lot of People claiming it will not happen because Kojima and Konami are on bad terms, but anyone following the Blue Box rumors should know that things have been changed proven by the fact that Kojima and Konami have started to follow each other in Twitter again.

As I read more and more about, I am with those who say that Konami will not allow Kojima to touch their IP at all

Sal wouldn't put that in unless he was almost 100% sure about this. This is fantastic news. Not only is SH2 the best horror game ever made imo but PT was legitimately frightening and unforgettable. I'm very happy to hear this news!

Music to my ears. People are saying its gonna be reimagining of Silent Hill 1 but wasn't that Shattered Memories was? I would prefer a brand new story but am fine with whatever as long as I get to experience Silent Hill once again

Wow. Imagine SH with the systems and mechanics depth of Kojima games, just re-making SH1 makes no sense. I hope someone else writes the script tho. What if Sony bought him rights to do SIlent HIlls with Del Toro from Konami?

Sony saw how popular and well regarded P.T was. They know there’s money to be had from a Kojima SH game, and it was obviously a passion project for him.

Konami has been the problem in all of this. The feckless twats have no doubt been the ones over the years to screw any chance of a proper SH revival.

Let’s hope Sony and Kojima have persuaded them to let him make Hills.

If this is true Sony should get Bluepoint on a Silent Hill 2 Remake

One thing I don't care is why pay for this IP to Konami. It's just a horror game. The IP hasn't been relevant for a long time and the last few games sold terribly. People would be just as excited if Sony announced new Horror IP by Kojima without Konami connection. Metal Gear I understand as that's a IP that's popular for its characters and lore. And the games sold well, Silent Hill not so much.

I think they want to make it relevant again, and a big horror series. Hopefully it starts with a bang. I expect a reimagining of the first game to be linear and cinematic with some famous actors.

i don't know how i feel about konami licences if we end up having multiple games from one them releasing near one of another made by different teams.
What does this mean for tone , DA , and coherence of them ?
Unlike the specific kojima/sony scenario here would you a game be interested only because of the name of a license on it without a lot more to back it up ?
Previous silent hill games after the original studio (or halo so far imo) are indication this strategy is not sure to work and produce good things.

Lets say rumors are true. So Kojima doing Silent Hill, some Chinese studio Metal Gear Solid and Bluepoint one new smaller title and one remake of beloved game. What this game could be if not Silent Hill and MGS ?
 
It will never stop people will writing Bullshit Rumors about this Game.
Everyone should know Blobber has an Agreement with Konami to develop a Game...so we can think this will be the next SH Game... and it will not be fucking exclusiv to PS5 or Xbox... Kojima is evtl. In an agreement with Xbox so every thing in this Article is pure Clickbait shit🤦‍♂️

Reimagining of the first Castlevania that looks and plays like Demon’s Souls.
