Now just the official "Fuck Konami in general" thread #fuckonami

Well, fortunately there are some companies that work in the mobile games industry that haven't completely abandoned console games.

So there's that silver lining to think about.

It all sounds really rumor-mill heavy, but that there're bits of potential truth to a WIP for a deal (whether or not it actually pans out), but the whole 80% done doesn't quite seem fully in line with the way that Norman Reedus & Guillermo Del Toro have talked about it. Also, I'm assuming billions of Yen & not dollars because that's ridiculous. Additionally, as a PS4-exclusive demo, I wanna know how this platform flip-flop would've gone down (i.e. did Sony drop the ball on keeping the game as an exclusive?) Because given how social network savy they've been in the past, I can't assume they'd've fucked this one up.

I've no doubt Microsoft is making eager grabby hands at Silent Hills now that it's in the aether, but I'm curious about a lot of how this all went down and what's up with Sony if any of this is the case.

Sorry, this isn't true. Not sure where the rumor started but I don't want to mislead anyone.

I mean, without the Kojima/Del Toro combo, Silent Hills as intended is dead anyway.

 

[Geostigma]

If people actually believed that... man idk. Thats dumb lol.

I read that the rumor was that MS bought the ip for billions. Lol what.
I dont think Silent Hill including the movies and merch has ever even come close to 500 mill. Who would actually believe MS would drop that much cash on an IP that doesn't have the potential to make it back lol.

 

[Tetsujin]

Yeah, "billions", lol.

I mean. Billions is what Disney spent on Lucasfilm/Star Wars.

...I don't think Silent Hill ever reached quite that amount of success and profit.

 

[Hisako]

It's not impossible that the Xbox brand are grabbing for an IP exclusive, perhaps even a horror-related one, but it won't be Silent Hills in any shape or form.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Since we're not allowed to have nice things, Fans're making a spiritual successor of the demo, called Allison Road. The embedded video is gameplay of it currently.

why did i watch that at 2am

 

[X-SOLDIER]

The fact that it makes a normal house setting terrifying is really what makes it the best/worst.

[Interslicery]

I usually find quiet, empty houses unnerving anyway. Was this made with the FOX engine too? Cause it looks astounding.

 

[Tetsujin]

FOX engine is exclusive to Konami.

 

[Strangelove]

there was a demo of the new unreal which looked a lot like this, so i'm guessing it's unreal

 

[Hisako]

Plus, the Unreal SDK is free, iirc

 

[Octo]

X I am sending you the drycleaning bill for my pants.

 

[Tetsujin]

Kojima and Del Toro still wanna work together on something

 

[X-SOLDIER]

I bet they do!! I'm glad that this is still a conversation that's being had, and I can't wait for circumstances to allow them to do so.

[Tetsujin]

Playboy.com: Del Toro says he's done with video games

So uh...Del Toro and Kojima movie collab instead? Hype a bit deflated, not gonna lie.

[Tetsujin]

That's not the correct link.

 

[Strangelove]

so you're telling me that konami killed all the jedi?

 

[Super Mario]

Konami doesn't know when to stop its villainy now its tainted star wars.
