P.T. / Silent Hills will not be exclusive to Sony?

A few minutes ago came an email from Sony about the PlayStation Gamescom, the event being held these days in Cologne, as we can see from one of the games presented

It'll be multiplatform. This will be one of those games that no one should miss.

iamnsuperman3536d ago (Edited 3536d ago )

I am not sure why people think it is. It was quite clear the interactive teaser was exclusive (it was said at the conference hence pt being there) but nothing was said about the game. My guess it is multiplatform.

blitz06233536d ago

If this was exclusive Sony would have made sure they communicated this clearly during their conference

bouzebbal3536d ago

P.T. is a multi and in best cases a timed exclusive but what for sure is exclusive PS4 is the playable P.T. teaser. people enjoy taking words out of context to get clicks!

morganfell3536d ago

I do not think this will be exclusive...but at the same time PT is an interactive teaser, not a demo. Add to this the fact there is no game coming called PT.

Neixus3536d ago (Edited 3536d ago )

@Blitz0623

Why? No one knew this was silent hills until a random livestreamer completed the game,after the conference was done

Enemy3536d ago

Sony definitely would have bragged if it was going to be exclusive.

DashArrivals3536d ago (Edited 3536d ago )

@ Blitz0623, @ Enemy... when Bloodborne was announced at E3, they never confirmed whether that was exclusive to PS4 or not until about a week after. People were saying that it would be multiplat. Sony is publishing Silent Hills. So, don't get your hopes up. I'm sure we will get confirmation in the following days. I don't care whether it's exclusive or not, I just want this game bad.

DeadlyOreo3536d ago (Edited 3536d ago )

The thing that has me thinking is that Sony Japan published PT. This makes me think, why would Sony put money and resources towards a free playable teaser of a game which is going to be multiplatform. I think there is a chance that this game will be exclusive to PS4, and with the articles a while back about Hideo Kojima utilising Project Morpheus for something, I think this could be it. Added to the fact that Hideo Kojima constantly makes clear his preference to Sony.

Also, does anyone remember they kept emphasising, "Horror reborn on the Playstation 4"?

We'll find out soon enough, all I know is that I can't wait to play this.

garos823536d ago

agreed most likely multiplatform. X86 architectures will make it to easy of an opportunity to develop titles for both consoles and take advantage of the user base of both

Enemy3536d ago

Unless it's going to be announced as a megaton PS4 exclusive at TGS, I don't see why Sony even bothered developing such an amazing teaser for it.

We'll find out soon enough.

morganfell3536d ago

It should be noted that the lack of mention for other platforms can also mean this is one of those titles that could go from being timed exclusive to full exclusive providing Sony sees the right feedback.

GameSpawn3536d ago

It's a Konami game/series, so...yeah multiplatform. Konami wants as much exposure as possible with their console games.

However, if Kojima is making it you can be assured the non-PlayStation versions will be very sub-par in some sort of way. Kojima has a heavy PlayStation bias. Just look at MGS5 (both games) for the best example.

The game has some good potential because of who is involved and hopefully it is multiplatform so that everyone can have a stab at it (no pun intended).

ziggurcat3536d ago

@iamnsuperman:

the teaser may have been, but i don't think the game will/should be.

MazzingerZ3536d ago

@GameSpawn
Any developer that makes a game that uses the best each platform can offer power-wise will deliver a better game on PS4, it's just the more powerful machine this gen...I thought that was pretty clear today for everybody.

BitbyDeath3536d ago

Not saying it is exclusive but it is possible.
Note the name of the game is called Silent Hills, not Silent Hill, reason for the change in name might be so that Sony could publish and own the IP.

Lennoxb633535d ago

Well Kojima heavily favors PlayStation. So anything he's involved in PlayStation is going to get the first taste of it.

fr0sty3535d ago

Playable Teaser is exclusive, Silent Hills, maybe not. We'll see. I'm sure if Sony sees enough hype build around this game (which, to be honest, the teaser alone spooked me more than any other game or film I've seen, mostly due to the seemingly random and unpredictable nature of not just the scares, but the gameplay itself, and I will be buying this day one when it launches), they'll go the negotiating table with Konami.

I think they should, it's one of those that has that kind of potential. If Silent Hill is rebooted in this kind of way, with those amazing graphics, gameplay, great story, and ACUTAL horror (not just "here's a bunch of zombies and deformed monsters. Blast away."), it is going to sell very well.

i will get Silent Hill as soon as i get my ps4
a good game is a good game
exclusive or not

equal_youth3536d ago

exactly. but we have to wait and see. konami clearly could use the money for some other great games.

Bubbamilk3536d ago

This is no game......it's a virtual interactive nightmare.....don't watch any videos or screenshots just hop in. It was easily the scariest game I have ever played. It genuinely shook me to the core of myself and I've never felt that. It's insane. The only words for it.

Even my lady said about ten minutes in that something just doesn't seem right about it. That it is so scary it kinda strikes a nerve inside like this has happened before type thing. No words. I'm 26 years old and I slept with the tv on last night!!!

redwin3536d ago

Does not matter who comes out with this game, I'm getting it.

styferion3536d ago

I guess it's safe to say it'll be a multiplatform title, seeing Kojima's own MGS V will also be a multiplatform title even though previous installment always exclusive to PS and if it's exclusive Sony would already announce it by now.

DoomeDx3536d ago

Didnt it say ''Published by Sony'' at the end of the teaser? Doesnt that means its exclusive? They mind just be talking about the teaser though

NeoGamer2323536d ago (Edited 3536d ago )

I don't mean to be rude, but assessing agame's quality based on who is making it and one trailer is a little pre-mature.

Is it a game I will be watching development of? Absolutely...

Is it a game no one should miss? We don't know yet.

FanboyKilla3536d ago (Edited 3536d ago )

who cares? last time i heard silent hill, they were saying how horrible it was. sure it may have a small cult following, but 98.5% of gamers never cared for it. so again, who cares? next.

Mikeyy3535d ago

If you did your homework you would have noticed a completely different team is making Silent Hills.

Kojima productions is doing it. So Dismissing it based on past iterations is foolish.

maybe if some unknown studio picked it up, then I can understand your lack of faith, but Hideo Kojima picked it up, and you still dismiss it?

rainslacker3535d ago

The original silent hills(1-3) all sold over a million each, when that many sold was considered a success.

Most of the ones from last gen were not that great, and got very little advertising. They also didn't have Kojima backing them, or any other powerhouse names behind it. They were mostly just quick cash in on the IP games, and it showed in their mediocrity.

The series never lit up a lot on the 360. One of the titles(Homecoming I believe) sold about 400K, the rest barely even passed 100K sold. It also didn't do much better on the PS3 as I recall, but was about triple the number of units sold.

I think just the names behind this version though will push it to be very hyped, so it could lead to a surge in popularity for the series.

MuhammadJA3536d ago

I hope a PC version is coming as well.

Bobby Kotex3535d ago

Not everyone likes horror games.

DanteVFenris6663535d ago

BECAUSE NOT EVERONES A MAN!!! EXPLOSIONS!!!!

UltraAtomic3535d ago

Hopefully this rumor is true. I really want to know more about this game, and if its good. I really want it for my x1.

UltraAtomic3535d ago

@MARKSMAN7136 Really!!! what a wast of a good bubble.

Flamingweazel3535d ago

Like tomb raider........................ ....LOL ms are morons.

Revolver_X_3535d ago

EVERYONE should experience this game. The demo is amazing.

LordMaim3532d ago

I would have been extremely surprised if this had turned out to be an exclusive. Without a major paycheck, a third party platform exclusive is pretty unheard of.

DVS-Zev3536d ago

i Would be shocked if this was exclusive.

Benjammin253536d ago

So would I. However, Sony published the teaser. What I think happened is, Kojima went to Konami, said I have this cool idea on how to advertise the next silent hill. They clearly weren't interested. So then Sony says "oh we'll publish the teaser instead." I'm guessing Sony agreed to do it as long as they got some kind of exclusive content. The game won't be exclusive, but don't be surprised if it comes first to the PS4.

THamm3536d ago

I'm pretty sure he said why should we front the money to put this out when Sony or MS will do anything to get an edge. Hence Sony bit, now I'm getting Silent Hill on Ps4 since surprisingly Pt was awesome actually.

GW2123536d ago

Eh, I'm not sure that Konami told him they weren't interested. I feel like Kojima has enough pull with Konami at this stage that he can dictate to them what they're interested in.

But maybe not, I don't know. Just the sense I get.

DashArrivals3536d ago

I remember when people were saying Bloodborne WOULD NOT be exclusive to PS4... my point is, wait until we have proper confirmation. Which we'll surely get in the coming days or weeks

OpenGL3536d ago

If Konami had put the teaser on the Playstation Store people might have figured out that it is a new Silent Hill without completing it.

garos823536d ago

i would be shocked too but no matter i have a PS4 and i will be buying this.

Hope others get to "enjoy" (for a lack of better word of having fun in a horror game) what looks to be the scariest experience ever

redblack3536d ago

the email I received at 14: 21, I wanted to share it with you

Mr-Dude3536d ago

It is or it isn;t. I really don't care... I just want to play it on my PS4. Really enjoyed the demo. Just hope the reboot is really good. Last Silent Hilll was really bad imo

Arkardo3536d ago

Not likely being honest, still a game nobody should miss, clever marketing anyone?

I was f***** high with the teaser.

20 Awesome Canceled Games You'll Never Get To Play

You can understand some games getting canceled, but these awesome looking games still baffle us to this very day.

"Tommy saving the planet from an army of aliens after they abducted him and his entire bar, with the game ending on the promise that Tommy would be back, but that promise was never fulfilled"

The thing is with the original Prey 2 that Tommy wasn't even the main character, they replaced him with some generic looking space bounty hunter. It was a refreshing change to see an awesome Native American character with ancestral like powers fight aliens yet they ditched him. It was only after an outcry they showed much later in a new preview that Tommy was in the game as an NPC.

I'd have prefered a real sequel with Tommy as the main character, literally picking right up from the originals ending.

As for Eight Days...Sony really needs to pick this up

If Amy Hennig was still at ND, I'd have loved to see her tackle it after what she did with Uncharted.

isarai42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

I thought that was awesome too, and honestly i wish people werent so damn critical about cultural variety in games. I feel like people try to ruin devs lives if even one detail is off about their culture in a game and so everyone is too scared to try anymore

isarai42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

One of the lead engine programmers for Prey 2 at Human Head was my programming instructor when i was taking game design. This game was in limbo at the time and we asked once and only once about this game, the misery in his eyes when he told us "this is the 1st and only time ill ask you to never ask me about that game" was something ill never forget😅 he used a couple assets through the curriculum for teaching purposes but nothing very tangible. Just a function here, a 3d prop there. Such a shame. Years later i saw him at a magic tournament, we caught up and he still thinks about that game and how it's "practically done" probably sitting on a drive somewhere

shinoff218342d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Practically done? Jeez that fking blows because that looked much more interesting then what bethsada made. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the one bethsada made.

Lmno looked interesting.
I'd knock titanfall and fez off the list. Add something else. Scarface 2 man only if would've been awesome. Prey 2 should be higher to. Either way not a bad list. Out of 20 there's only 2 I'd hate on.

isarai42d ago

That gen got a lot of games canned right before the finish line. Cipher Complex, Battlefront 3, legacy of kain dead sun just to name a few

XiNatsuDragnel42d ago

Games that need to come out: Battlefront 3, 8 days, and timesplitter 4.

Skuletor41d ago

One that's not on the list is Killing Day, I remember seeing the trailer in 2005 and being impressed at the time. Being Ubisoft you know it would have been a AAAA game too, lol
2 Days to Vegas and The Getaway 3 are two other games that seemed promising but never came out.

Canceled Video Game Sequels That Never Happened

Anticipation can turn into disappointment so often in the video game world. Canceled video game sequels can feel devastating, especially those that promise to expand upon the thrilling stories of their predecessor. Wealth of Geeks runs down some of the most disappointing cancelations that kept anticipated sequels in the dark.

shinoff218365d ago (Edited 65d ago )

The orginal prey 2 better be on this list.

And it is. Man if could've got this instead. Wonder why no one's step up to do this kinda game yet. I think there's one in development for pc, it's cyberpunk Era but it takes place in some huge apartment complex I think. Anyway I'm saying this not knocking the prey that came out cause I did enjoy that to but really wanted prey 2 (canceled)

Skuletor64d ago

I wonder if they never happened because they were cancelled 🤔 (stupid headline)

Rockstar64d ago

Was just thinking the same thing...

The Complete Ranking of Silent Hill Games from Worst to Best

Vits176d ago

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26176d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake176d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69175d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26175d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!
