Amid rumors it was looking to sell Eve Online developer CCP Games, Pearl Abyss has given a statement to Insider Gaming.
Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”
Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.
They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.
I’m sure many would want bold and creative done well, but that’s easier said than done. I like variety so give me a little bit of everything, done well of course.
Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?
it was not. it greatly expanded the areas and puzzles to the point where it felt like an entirely new game. the enemies and boss fights were given a MASSIVE upgrade. the abstract daddy fight in particular was incredible. and the team added two new endings.
Capcom Spotlight is just around the corner: tune in to see the latest titles being shown off by the Japanese masters.
New IP, please. Used to be (in the 80s) if it was a Capcom game, you knew it was good.
Trust me I’m a Capcom baby. Got fond memories of Megaman and all the good library they had on snes 😂 . I always felt bummed Capcom shunned Megaman tho ever since inafune left the company . Pragmata seems like it’s a new Megaman sort of

I always find prices hikes to be rather entertaining, simply because of the initial reactions by consumers who use them and how it basically becomes a non-issue after a week. Netflix raises their price...people cry. Amazon Prime raises their membership fees...people cry. PlayStation Plus raises it's price...people cry. The one consistency about all of these price hikes and the ones crying about it is that after a week, they keep on using that service. Like PlayStation owners are REALLLLY going to give up their online functionality over a $10 bump? Right...because you drop drop $300 - $600 a year on video games and accessories; that $10 bump is going to break the bank. Nobody likes price hikes, but you know what, not only will it continue to be a way of life, but consumers will continue to bend over for them. Let's just hope Sony addresses the price hike at the PlayStation Meeting on September 7th and outlines some new features coming to the PSN for Plus members. Not likely, but we can dream can't we?
