After all of the denials the studio made, it's quite difficult to believe this is seriously Silent Hill or Kojima undercover.

Still, there are WAY too much coincidences, so something must be going on.

elazz1037d ago

This studio has never released a game even though source credit themself for multiple projects. That's what I find odd.
But maybe it is a new studio with a good writer and marketing person.

NecrumOddBoy1037d ago

So far there have been about 20 individual notable coincidences that point to Kojima and Silent Hill. It’s getting to the point where there seems to be even more connections found then even intended if this actually is an ARG for a new Kojima game. Like the tree in the trailer cutting off the letters P and T. The Dutch flag on Sam Bridges uniform in the new death stranding trailer. This Turkish directors last name translates from “Hideo.” His trophy list count is the same number as the date silent Hills was canceled. Just wild “coincidences?”

Have you checked his trophy count recently? It’s gone up

Imagine, like IMAGINE. You're working hard on a brand new game, quite new to the video game scene, trying to keep your life a bit private, and then all of a sudden a bunch of video game websites and Kojima fans start accusing you, and I mean accusing you hard (this was a big news story this past week for some reason) of your project being Kojima related or infact the dev themselves are Kojima, therefore forcing you to diminish your private life and actually provide real proof you're not Kojima or related in any way...

Seriously...

You couldn't be more wrong. It wasn't kojima fans who did this. These developers brought everything on to themselves. Tweeting that their game name is relating to same letters as silent hills. Don't you dare blame the gamers for this. If developers wanted to be private don't talk about/tweet conspiracy theories relating to kojima and silent hills

1nsomniac1037d ago (Edited 1037d ago )

That’s Kojima fans for you. No shame.

neutralgamer19921037d ago

I could be wrong but this is 100% kojima doing silent hills. The rumor was Sony was in talks to either acquire/sign contract for SH and MGS IP's. Could be possibility that Sony signed/acquired both IP's

Kojima doing SH and bluepoint doing MGS remake. This is just my guess

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN1d 3h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos1d ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

GamerRN18h ago

They can form a company if they want, they are just as jobless as if "Microsoft had left them as 3rd party".

peppeaccardo19h ago

"MIcrosoft leaves Bethesda do what they know how to do best" ... close! Oh the irony ....
(Citation from a week old article)

ChasterMies15h ago

I think Microsoft and other game publishers are letting people go because they think ai will replace them. Doesn’t matter how much profit they make. They were always going to be let go.

PassNextquestion1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger1d 3h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Mr Logic13h ago

What a stupid thing to say. The elites give 0 fucks what we say on an obscure website in the comments section.

Crows9013h ago

You can always reach out and give them jobs at your company man. Don't wait

Profchaos1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 5h ago )

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto1d 5h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos1d 4h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long1d 1h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel1d 4h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos1d 2h ago (Edited 1d 2h ago )

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator1d 3h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
