Konami has announced Silent Hill: Townfall! The game is being developed by No Code in conjunction with Annapurna Interactive.
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.
Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?
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

Warner Bros. Games has set a new leadership team and restructured around Harry Potter, "Game of Thrones," "Mortal Kombat" and the DC Universe IPs.
Weird they chose a name that sounds a lot like Downpour
I have no idea about this one, it didn't show anything. But still... this was a horrible show of them trying to churn out as many convoluted piles of junk as they could and call them Silent Hill. Trust me, none of this stuff has anything to do, or feels anything like the original Silent Hill trilogy.
For the Silent Hill 2 remake, they completely botched the James Sunderland model, there is no way anyone who loved the original Silent Hill 2 could tell me they see James Sunderland in that "old fart". And if you can't even get James Sunderland right, then what chance do you have?
But the question is why? Why even try it with this version of Konami who hasn't made a good game in ages and has nothing... They have absolutely no talented developers, there is no way they can possible do a masterpiece like Silent Hill 2 justice. It's insulting to be quite honest.
The only thing that looked even remotely interesting was Silent Hill f, it was pretty grotesque, just the idea of the spores and growing the fungus or plants on you like that. Just the idea made me a bit itchy. I don't think it's got the potential to be one of my all time favs like Silent Hill 2 but it's a game that's on my radar at least. Even if it wasn't called Silent Hill, if it was called something totally different. It would of still got my attention.
Wow three silent hills in development? Kind of strange.
Stories Untold was excellent. I played very little of Observation so I cant speak about that but I'm optimistic about this team taking on a SH related side project
