The official Silent Hill stream that will supposedly reveal new games in the series has a YouTube video that appears to have leaked the announcement in advance.
Tin foil hat time but what I believe is going on is these games were meant to be announced during a state of play that was scrapped recently as rumours go Sony has paused all state of play announcements until after the cma release it's stage 2 findings.
If that's the case then Konami may have had a promotional deal to showcase the game and videos prepped for that instead of changing them to reflect the inevitable multiplatform status the left it alone.
Interesting point about the cma. If true, them withholding info on their own deals to put the screws to Xbox. Could boost Xbox’s claim of Sony’s market leading status and using that to leverage things to their favor.
By the gods, I hope Blooper team aren't touching Silent Hill 2, the other Silent Hill is supposed to be helmed by the OG SH developers so that's the one I wanna see!
This stream tonight, Resident Evil tomorrow, talk about a good Spooky October my dudes!!
Lol I really hope so too, but according to this they're on the SH2 Remake. While that sucks, remakes play to their strengths. While they suck at stories, engaging gameplay and the like, they can at least create atmosphere, which is really all they need to do here.
In fairness, they did a good job with the DualSense features in Observer, so hopefully the controls will feel more up-to-date too.
I'd rather they weren't involved at all, to remove all risk of a dud, but on the plus side, they're not involved in any new SH games according to this information!
Maaan, I don't know how to feel about it, I doubt they'd care enough for the multiple endings depending on how you heal, treat Maria, etc! gameplay was never the focus for SH2, so they have that advantage I guess if true! make it beautifully grim.
What's weird is there's zero Xbox mention? you'd think they would want it on all platforms for profits sake, I wonder if Sony has a hand in any or all of these.. bizzare!
Just hope it's done well and half the game is not missing like Capcom pulled with the RE3 remake. But until I see it and play it I am on the fence. This is Konami and farming out the SH games to other studios did not turn out well. Let's just hope the studio behind the remake are diehard SH fans. And take the time to actually build the game from the ground up as a fan would do. Last thing I want is some rushed half baked piece of shit using the SH name and dragging it in the mud.
I figured Blooper would be doing the remake which is potentially good or bad we will see . I don’t think they can handle an original SH but maybe a remake has everything there for them to copy and improve hopefully . Maybe they can get some tips from Bluepoint .
Weird there's no mention of xbox in the tags, only PlayStation and steam. I guess we'll wait for more on that.
I'm still thinking it's possible The Short Message could be a VR thing, which I'm fine with as long as they go all out on the Silent Hill: Ascension.
Just so glad to hear that it seems Blooper Team are only working on the remake, though, rather than the new games.
By the gods, I hope Blooper team aren't touching Silent Hill 2, the other Silent Hill is supposed to be helmed by the OG SH developers so that's the one I wanna see!

Admins - Can you remove the Xbox Series X tag please? Thanks.
Because resident evil got it right the first time. Silent hill 2 is where Silent hill took off so to speak.
