I liked the look of all these, I think I need to replay the series again now, I actually liked the 2 films they did in 06 and 2012 as well, not bad watches
This does make me excited for the return of MGS as well, Konami willing to lend out IP is a good thing if they don't wanna develop new games, don't fuck this up Bloober

LOL,
WTF was with that 3rd party Sony partnership, vice president of bullshit moneyhatting talking about.
Embarrassing, saying things like, we are so happy to be working with you Konami/Bloober. We are so happy to support this. We are honoured. You gave them a shitload of money to keep it exclusive for a year. Just say that ffs
.
Edit: the devs standing around in the fog was absolutely fantastic though.

This....this wasn't completely terrible. I mean, I want a live service multi-player online Silent Hill like I want genital warts in my nostrils, but everything else has me cautiously optimistic

Really, really, really excited about Silent Hill 2. Truly. I hope Bloober delivers. I admit I'm concerned, but still, it does look and sound like it's on the right track.
As much as I love the IP, and adore 2, this felt over saturated to me. Like, it's almost TOO much. A part of me is okay with that, if everything turns out being good/great. But a part of me almost wishes they would've just gone really hard on 1 or 2 games, and that's it.
I feel better seeing stuff, but I'm still cautious. Can't NOT be.
Silent Hill 2 remake? I loved it so much, please deliver, please.
Acension? Eh.
The movie? I'll see it I'm sure since I thought Gans' SH film was pretty good. Best video game film adaptation at the time, I thought.
Townfall? I'm down.
F? I'm down.
That being said, I still find it odd that they're just skipping a remake of 1, lmao.

Seeing him threw me off, we worked together for awhile a few years back, great guy. I know he's at Sony now, but I wasn't expecting to see him, haha.

Even if a few of these games end up being duds, I'm just glad the series is absolutely back in our lives, and in a huge way. I mean, this is like nothing I've ever seen.
Four games, and a movie!? Not even Capcom is this generous.

Yes, and these studios are experimenting with SH. That Silent Hill f looks more interesting than anything Capcom did in the past 10 years.

Actually a good show... Good job Konami. Excited for Silent Hill 2 remake and very interested in Silent Hill F. Just need Kojima & Del Toro back on board and give us what we've been wanting for almost a decade!

They’ve got an uphill battle trying to convince everyone that what they’ve got to offer now is better than the potential we had with Silent Hills.

I'm somewhat disappointed that no release dates were confirmed for any of these upcoming titles.
But meh. They will talk about that stuff again, hopefully soon.

It's pretty expected but understandable, but it seems like they are being conservative financially (to put it nicely) with Silent Hill.

Didn't they announce like 4-5 different games? Kinda reminiscent of Square and their grandiose Final Fantasy plans, always underdelivering. The excess reliance on outsourcing is also worrying. I wish they'd just focus on a single product. Imagine a Silent Hill game with the production values of TLOU2. But the overall presentation was high quality and surprisingly... silent. Not bad.

They all looked cool, but the last game they showed looked weird as all hell. In a good way, however.

Yes, I know. It's a tacked on component that Capcom farmed out instead of focusing internal resources on.

I dunno, some of them looked like they could be related to "F" IMO.
I say that because I immediately thought of this image which looks like the girl in it has those flowers we saw blooming over her head...

Hyped for SH2 Remake, as SH2 is my favorite horror game of all time.
Really excited to see what will come out of Silent Hill f, loved the trailer. Also curious to see more of Townfall.
Not a bad showing for me, Konami has been dead for me for years, and thanks to they Sillent Hill projects they are now back in the radar.

Maybe scheduling conflicts? I know there is that "rumor" of them cancelling a Showcase due to the MS-ABK acquisition but I don't have a lot of faith in that rumor.
Something tells me Silent Hill F is also going to be a PS5 console exclusive; apparently that wasn't going to get made unless Sony put in some funding money for Silent Hill 2 Remake. Plus why not, you're already getting SH2 Remake as a timed exclusive (and IIRC some leaked slides from some Konami presentation has Silent Hill F ("Project Sakura") listed as a PS5 exclusive but no telling if those slides were real).
Honestly, the Silent Hill IP has never been a huge moneymaker for Konami, the IP's history involves being given to "misfits" (Team Silent) of all things. And the fanbase for the IP on Xbox platforms is likely very small, similar to Final Fantasy.
A new Silent Hill game doing 5 million lifetime would be a smashing success for the IP in Konami's eyes and that kind of sales and revenue can easily be covered between a single console & PC.
BUT I guess we'll see...
Some parts were tough to watch and a bit cringe IMO but SH2 Remake and Silent Hill F were definitely the highlights for me. And I'm looking forward to the new movie as well.
The "live interactive show" sounds potentially good or at least interesting, but I gotta see more. The figurines look quite detailed, but I'm not a collector of statues or collectibles personally.

So I guess those rumors about Sony possibly making a game in the franchise were always bullshit? Maybe it was only ever wishful thinking.
Guess they're moneyhatting a remake of SH2 made by a studio known mostly for pretty mediocre stuff instead.
I also guess Konami have literally no development staff left in-house? Everything is outsourced.

James looked a bit funny, to be honest. He kind of reminded me of the main protagonist you play as in Alan Wake.

Damn, what a comeback.
Maybe except for
https://neobards.com/game-maker/
but I'm looking forward to them showing some of the actual game. This could be "sakura"
I liked "observation" and I hope those are all very different, interesting projects. Very excited for the remake.
Also notice no NFTs in sight.
Hearing they're making another silent hill in-house would be worrying, this is nothing but good news.

Silent Hill F le new game looks freaking POG OMG, silent hill in Japan OMG i can't wait
SH2R + SH F, i'm in, cause Tekken 8 FF7R and FF16 are pog but we needed more pogs tbh, but now with Legend Ronin, Stellar blade and cie things are finally starting to looks really exciting for the future of PS5 and next gen, if Techmo will announce a new FF it will be another banger.
Smells like PS2 era all over again!! Good time to be videogame fan.

The graphics in the Silent Hill 2 remake look swell. It sounded like they're using all of the same lines, and seems so far to be quite faithful to the original storyline.
One thing I hated about the RE2 remake was that Capcom removed a chunk of content, and made the B scenario way too similar to the first run.

Honestly I'm excited for everything that was shown.
My problem is how overwhelming it feels going from having radio silence on the franchise for years to having 3.5 games of contrasting styles announced at once.
And there's still ONE MORE game that hasn't been officially announced yet.

Those 2020 rumors were always suspect.
Putting up for co-funding of games that'd of otherwise likely not been made != moneyhatting. Not the way it's normally used as a derogatory term.
They still have a couple of in-house dev teams. They're just much smaller and focus on platforms like Switch. In fact they released a game for Switch earlier this year that charted extremely well in Japan.

Gut feeling that Konami is going to cancel at least half of these. Maybe not SH2R, but probably townfall, ascension, and f.

The only way I'd want Sony involved with Silent Hill is if they had Blue Point doing the remasters that Konami should have hired them to do in the first place.
