The series is missing in action for a decade. What the hell happened to it?
The most expensive PS2 games are usually the most niche from genres like horror. 505 Games usually is attached as well.
In a career spanning interview, I speak to the creator of the Silent Hill, Siren, and Gravity Rush franchises about his 30 year time within the industry, what his thoughts are in making the transition from working for a AAA publisher to essentially becoming an independent, whether he’d be open to working on new iterations of the franchises that he’s renowned for, whether he’d be open to collaborating with any of the horror greats in the games industry, and what his long-term goals are for the next 30 years… Enjoy!
Interesting read, although the questions should have been more focused, and I think Gravity Rush, at least the first one, is fairly dark. Never got into the sequel.
I loved both games. There are pervasive themes of darkness worked in, but they're very vibrant games and Kat (history withstanding) is a very light-hearted character in a world that has its dark moments, but it's very generally upbeat, especially in comparison to Siren and Silent Hill.
Wait, dude made all 3? Wtf? Dude has a knack for cult classics like damn
"So most of the games that I’ve worked on have been new IPs, even though I’ve made different franchises and stuff. But I want to note that every time I make a new IP, my resources are pretty limited, and they’re limited by the company that I’ve worked for. So in that sense, Silent Hill, Siren, and the first Gravity Rush game, I think that we were striving to achieve something new, as opposed to making a big budget videogame. So I feel the need to do that every 3, 4, or 5 years. And I keep making new games, so going individual, like going indie right now, for me, I don’t really feel limited, I feel that it suits me more. So it feels like I’ve got an advantage, because I know how to work with limited resources."
That's encouraging. I really hope Sony would approach Toyama-san for a Gravity Rush sequel.
Just in time for Halloween, Dino Crisis and Siren will be available to play on PS5 and PS4 soon
Gravity Rush happened
When we will get to know our free games of this month?
I remember playing one of these games and it was freaky and looked good, but there was a problem for me getting into the game control/gameplay design wise. I forgot if it was the controls or what, but i remember it was confusing and frustrating. I wanted to get into it.
During the same time or so I played one of the Fatal Frame games. I liked that one and it did scare me.
Fun times.
This game was so good on PS3. Scary good!
Ahhhh good, old PS2 days, still have nightmares because of it tho, but man, loved every second playing it nevertheless. Awesome horror game and would love if Sony go back to it someday.
