With Silent Hill 2 Remake's Success, Konami Needs to Get a Clue and Revive Kojima's Silent Hills

TNS: Silent Hill 2 Remake has had a lot of success and it might be high time for Konami to look back on canceled projects for inspiration.

I would have loved to play it but konami missed the galactic alignment with all the talent kojima had gathered for that game just Guillermo del toro was a super rare addition. Now none of them will work with konami after the disastrous treatment of kojima plus all the kojima fans like myself will not buy it or anything MG

I am a huge MG fan and I will buy Delta for sure. I totally agree with you that Konami missed its opportunity with Silent Hills though.

It aint Silent Hills without Kojima ... and if anything, we sorta got something not too dissimilar in the form of RE7 (I doubt a non-Kojima team can do better but be happy to be proven wrong.)
So, for us consumers to get a hint what new Konami can do with the SH IP, let's see what the upcoming Silent Hill F is all about.

More like they need to sell the IP to playstation. Playstation can then partner with Kojima to make it.

Oh hellz no. The success has nothing to do with Hideo, like at all. So, the success of this game should be dependent on Hideo's f-ing off while at and under Konami's employ and his resulting unfinished works? Really? (holy hell). Toyama's vision as a redux IS a success (and preserved), in NO relation or effort by/to Hideo (other than him pulling a Gearbox with PT and MGS5 by not delivering and then going full dramatic diva and then lost), which ensured his lame-ass was not going to touch the ip again.

So yeah, I'm sure Konami (also imperfect), is supper eager for ass-hat to come back onboard for even more ego-driven drama and assuredly embelish Toyama's works under his own name a few hundred times. No thanks.

I mean, there’s a reason he was fired. No matter how much I love his games, he constantly went over budget and extended deadlines. That costs a company big bucks.

I'm sorry but No we don't .. a hallway sim is still a hallway sim and the "Silent Hills" teaser that got sneaked in the end is just to bait engagements to set Konami up for hate once they cancel his sneaky dirty little trick that never gonna happen

watch this vid about Kojima and you will see his true colors .. the guy is a narcissistic freak and takes all credits to himself

Konami is run by morons

Don't understand this with Silent Hill and more so Resident Evil. Too much of this going on in gaming, not forgetting the price these games retail for. Fans are wanting new games. Sort of wouldn't mind if they came in at say £20, but still, this part of gaming is rubbish.

[BlackCountryBob]

That’s a terrible idea, and the biggest reason is people’s mythology of Silent Hills is so out of proportion to what anyone, including Kojima, could ever hope to achieve, it would prove to be a disappointment.

Don’t try to do Silent Hills, but by all means realise there is still an appetite for the Silent Hill brand so another game could be successful, and there would be a market for a more abstract type of Silent Hill game without needing to conform to the traditions of the 3rd person shooter genre.

No they don't. It would be a pale imitation. The silent hill 2 remake was great. Bloober team has always listened SH as their biggest influence. That love showed in the final project. Instead of silent hills, give bloober a shot at an original SH game. Kojima is gone. Nothing will change that. Even Konami understands that. That's what MGS delta is using the original voice tracks and cutscene animations. They all know that Kojima had his style and nobody is going to replicate it.
