One of the most interesting reveals at Gamescom this year was the P.T. playable demo. Sony initially announced it and released it on the PlayStation Store, except it turned out to be a teaser for the new Silent Hill game, titled Silent Hills. To top that off, it’s being worked on by Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima and director Guillermo del Toro with Norman Reedus—most know him as Daryl from The Walking Dead television show—playing the main character. It seems that Konami is finally giving the Silent Hill franchise the attention it has so desperately been missing.
Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"
Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those
well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
A breakdown of the best Silent Hill Characters that inspired and frightened gamers.
Nice to see Kojima also tackling something that isn't Metal Gear and with the help of one of my favorite movie directors! All of this news is exactly what I was hoping for!
Now if they work on Suikoden again we will be golden.
Yes silent hill lost its charm over the years and it needs the attention if Konami wants it to be a big franchise.
Really looking forward to this since I haven't played a SH game since the original one and especially after playing P.T. which actually got me freaked out a couple of times.
All this is thanks to Kojima. Konami was being run into the ground, hoping PES and MGS carried them as far as possible first. Kojima stepped in and revived Castelvania and Silent Hill, what's next?
