Silent Hills will continue development with or without Kojima

Hideo Kojima will indeed be leaving Konami Digital Entertainment and is currently intent in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. However, questions still remain about Silent Hills, another project under Kojima Productions.

Isn't the whole point of this Silent Hill is that Kojima's name was attached to it?

Battlefieldlover3755d ago

Him and Guillermo del Toro absolutely. Am I the only one who thinks Kojima not being apart of the project is as scary as.....PT!?!?!

averagejoe263755d ago

Kojima is making Silent Hills. Not Konami.

Nothing is going to change.

Conkerkid113755d ago

@Averagejoe26

The title of this article suggests otherwise.

GCO Gamer3755d ago (Edited 3755d ago )

@averagejoe26 Kojima Productions are developing Silent Hills. Kojima Production is the name of the development team.

chrismichaels043755d ago (Edited 3755d ago )

Im hoping they continue with the new Silent Hills game. It looked very interesting when they revealed it at Sonys E3 conference last year.

Revolver_X_3755d ago

My real question is, does Kojima or Konami own the FOX Engine. If Kojima owns it, then expect Silent Hills to get scrapped and put on a different engine.

Omnisonne3755d ago (Edited 3755d ago )

Averagejoe's right, Kojima Productions is developing Silent Hills, Konami is the publisher

@RevolverX

I believe the rights to the engine still belong to Kojima Productions, since they created it. Even though Kojima was working under Konami, much as MGS, Konami cannot claim the developers engine either.

I'm not a lawyer or anything so I might very well be wrong

[Edit] MGS is actually owned by Konami, which makes me believe the Fox engine is aswell

I don't see why it matters that Kojima is or was making Silent Hills. The best Silent Hill games are still made by Konami without Kojima.

Silent Hill 2 is one of the best games ever made

Rizaun3754d ago

The best Silent Hills were made by Team Silent, which was disbanded by Konami because they wanted western developers to make the games. Konami doesn't have any of the people that made Silent Hill great, and without Kojima and his team, it's gonna end up being just another average horror title.

Captain_Wormy3755d ago

If Kojima and Del Toro are not involved then it's a no buy from me. :/

Double_O_Revan3755d ago

That was the whole draw in the first place. I'd hate for them to split, otherwise they might as well can it.

cyphertech3755d ago

I'm not going to buy silent hills if Kojima isn't involved. That's the whole point. Jesus, I can't be excited about anything these days. Already lost my excitement for Phantom Pain.

averagejoe263755d ago

Losing excitement for phantom pain is the most exaggerated thing you could do right now.

Really?

He said he's finishing the game. Why would you lose any excitement?

Stop being dramatic.

solid_snake36563755d ago

Because it's finally going to sink in after he finishes the game, that Kojima and Konami are parting ways.

Revolver_X_3755d ago

Yea, I always wanted a remake of Metal Gear 1 and 2, with today's tech. This will be highly unlikely now if these rumors are true. Even, if it did happen, without Kojima it would feel tainted.

Captain_Wormy3755d ago

Why would you lose your hype for The Phantom Pain? If anything you should be even more hyped. Since it's Kojima's last MGS game he's going to make sure everything is perfect and putting his entire heart into it making sure the last entry in the amazing Metal Gear Saga goes out with a bang.

7odaaction3755d ago

What do you mean his future plan is to (leave the development)
What hell is going on its like they fire him so he quit gaming development for ever ?!!!!
What a stupid company losing a valuable asset like him

Revolver_X_3755d ago

With Kojima, I'll believe it when Kojima ACTUALLY says it.

lildudexst3755d ago

He the brains how hell we go on with out him. I will not pick Silent Hill mother f******

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.

isarai480d ago (Edited 480d 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

isarai480d ago (Edited 480d 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

shinoff2183480d ago (Edited 480d 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.

isarai480d 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

XiNatsuDragnel480d ago

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

Skuletor478d 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.

shinoff2183503d ago (Edited 503d 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)

Skuletor502d ago

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

Rockstar502d ago

Was just thinking the same thing...
