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
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.
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!
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.
@ 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.
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.
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
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.
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).
@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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
They never said Bloodborne was exclusive to PS4 at E3.... there was speculation is was multiplat for at leastr a week after E3.... take from that what you will
Why would they say a game that was a hidden trailer for Silent Hill would be exclusive at Gamescom? The whole point was to make the game seem odd and no big deal, a stealth announcement.
i dont know why you are getting disagrees...i agree with you...everyone should be able to play this game...on ps4...or xbox one...and pc...play it on your preferred gaming machine and game away
They Never said it wasn't. Look what I did I was able to fathom my superior knowledge and equate your argument equally, it took me ten years for my arguments to be so organized and precise.
No but seriously that's a terrible point as I can easily say the opposite.
I don't have a PS4 yet, and am super jealous of PT. I'll have one by Silent Hills time. Even if it's on Xbone, I'll get it on PS4 cause PS has always been my "Silent Hill console". I have the whole series. Still, wish they'd put PT on Xbone so I can try it now.
It'll be multiplatform. This will be one of those games that no one should miss.
i Would be shocked if this was exclusive.
the email I received at 14: 21, I wanted to share it with you
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
Not likely being honest, still a game nobody should miss, clever marketing anyone?
I was f***** high with the teaser.
