Silent Hills not out until 2016, may be open-world

The creator behind the upcoming pant-soiling horror title, Silent Hills, has suggested that the hotly anticipated project may not see the light of day until 2016.

ShugaCane3553d ago

Well I wasn't expecting the game to come out any sooner. Kojima always takes time to polish his games and think of the best directions to take. I trust him and his decisions. This game will make us shit our pants, fingers crossed.

aCasualGamer3553d ago

Dam, this is a game i really don't want to be open world. I can't emphasize this enough, i reaaaally don't want this to be open world.

I want a somewhat linear story with many possibilites ala Last of Us or older Resident Evil and Silent Hill games. Not an open world like "here you are in a sandbox game, do whatever you want and hopefully youll find missions that scare the shit outta you"

I want a true fucking survival horror game with the same feeling the teaser envoked and same puzzle mechanics but in a larger context, not total free world. That's too much freedom and will ruin the experience.

dcj05243553d ago

Well it's not like they remade Japan. Wait and see.

EdoubleD3553d ago

I wonder how that'll pan out if it is indeed open world.

DoomeDx3553d ago

Actually, SH2 was open world too. SH3 too I believe.

Open World in silent hill terms doesn't mean Side quests, pedestrians and such. Its probably a linear open-world.. How awkward that might sound.

LightDiego3553d ago

Take your time. Kojima and Del Toro working together with Silent Hill it's insane.

Lionalliance3553d ago

Maybe that's why is called Silent Hills with and "S" at the end.

Summons753553d ago

I think they'll be 2 characters. Silent Hill has always been a reflection of someone tailer made for that character. Multiple hills may mean more than 1 character with everything being different as they try and find each other.

blakstarz3551d ago

I was thinking the same thing as well...with the "S" at the end I was thinking the adventure will span out past Silent Hill the town, like a whole new area or maybe making like Toluca Lake a whole new thing to explore via a boat or something.....

Either way, the teaser has sparked my interest waay up!

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.

isarai65d ago (Edited 65d 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

isarai65d ago (Edited 65d 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

shinoff218364d ago (Edited 64d 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.

isarai64d 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

XiNatsuDragnel64d ago

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

Skuletor63d 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.

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)

Skuletor87d ago

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

Rockstar87d ago

Was just thinking the same thing...

Silent Hills cancellation was a travesty.

mrbearbear295d ago

I still wonder to this day if it was a reboot, or sequel.

cammers1995295d ago

Lol. The tags made it so I didn't have to visit your website.

goldwyncq295d ago

Kojima wouldn't have started his own studio if Silent Hills didn't get cancelled so even if it stung at first, I'm fine with it.

chobit_A5HL3Y295d ago

i remember being so excited for patriots for years, only to have them release that siege trash. i hate how multiplayer games, pvp in particular, have ruined so many potentially good games.
