been out of the loop for three weeks, so I am just catching up on the news. Watched the teaser, since I don't have a PS4.
What really, really sold me on the trailer was the still perfect Silent Hill 1 music!

Thanks, that makes it a bit more clear."They played us like a damn fiddle" is for me, Hallmark-quality. Not a line you relate a soldier, in the 70s, and highly strung due to clusterfucks with honestly.
I would've liked to play it, but now i've seen so many streams and videos about it, that i know it inch by inch already.

I was honestly surprised by this announcement, Kojima definitely knows how to create excitement and I'm glad he's working on something other than Metal Gear.
Del Toro being involved is fantastic and judging by his films and love of monsters, we'll be seeing some scary ass creatures in this game. But sadly I don't think he'll be super involved with this game because he already has so much on his plate when it comes other projects (Pacific Rim 2 + animated series, Crimson Peak and more). I feel like he'll be involved with the monsters and possibly the plot, but not much else. But then again, I want to be wrong.
Getting Norman Reedus on board was also a surprise. He's such a nice guy, I got to take a picture with him at a comic convention a year ago and he was super good to his fans. Glad to see he's teaming up with Kojima and Del Toro, hopefully they can make a game worthy of the Silent Hill name.
My theory on the making of Silent Hills is that its the remnants of Del Toro's "Insane" project, the one that got canned a couple of years ago. When you think about it, the idea of Insane is similar to Silent Hill. Del Toro once said this about Insane: "With this new series of video games, I want to take players to a place they have never seen before, where every single action makes them question their own senses of morality and reality." (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/12/13/insane-trilogy-game-rights-held-by-thq-del-toro-keeps-movie-rig/). Maybe when Insane got cancelled Kojima proposed the idea of a new Silent Hill game to Del Toro? Kojima definitely enjoys Del Toro's work (or at least Pacific Rim), as noticed by his tweets about the movie (http://kotaku.com/hideo-kojima-reviews-pacific-rim-in-eight-tweets-680304164) so I can only imagine he asked Del Toro about the possibility of making a new game with him.
Now for the idea of the Silent Hills game itself.
From what I can tell, the concept of Silent Hills (notice the plural) is about each player exploring their own personal hell, one that is completely different from another person's. Norman Reedus' character will just be the vessel in which you explore your own personal Silent Hill. As noticed by the P.T. demo, the game teases at the idea of randomness to entice and frighten you. Maybe the full game will actually react to how you play or keep you guessing because of its randomness? Could it possibly be an expansion of Shattered Memories' psychological tests that changed the game as you played? Kojima is already encouraging people to play the P.T. demo together on streaming sites such as Twitch (http://kotaku.com/nobody-actually-knows-how-they-solved-the-silent-hill-t-1621044581), maybe that's a hint at the personal hell that the full Silent Hill game will have and emphasizes the idea of sharing that hell with your friends and other people on the internet? A game like this will allow Kojima to easily fuck with people like he already does with Metal Gear while Del Toro's imagination and Reedus' acting will bring the horror to life.
Maybe this is just me looking between the lines, but this is the first time I've been truly excited for a game in a long time. To me, this is a dream team come true, Silent Hill is a series that Kojima and Del Toro can use their fantastic creativity to the fullest and make something truly special happen. I can't wait.
I like Norman Reedus, but you know who they should have got instead?
.
best part of the trailer for sure. it's still amazing.
This is how you do trailers. No CG and no bullshit. See what it did for a dying franchise? I bet the awareness of this game has reached in levels than any of the previous games have done before.
A completely original character that wont cause me to think about Boondock Saints and Walking Dead the whole time I play.
when you watch a movie do you only see the actor's as characters they've played in something else??
Sometimes, yeah.
That sucks for you then
I mean how couldn't you? You could play through Beyond without thinking about Ellen Page?

Definitely gets my Palvovian smile going.
:lol It was total fanservice. I understand why they put it in and it was cool to hear, but after having the theme driven to the ground by subsequent trailers and releases after SH1, it doesn't prove much to me. I.e. I mostly just associate it with SH1 (and to some extent SH3 because of the plot) and that's it. Anything else using it doesn't make much sense to me.
It's almost like the aural equivalent of Pyramid Head to me.
i can watch/play something and take the person for the character theyre playing, i didnt play Beyond, but she's playing a character, not herself in the game, idk how you can't
I can but when it's a video game character that looks 100% like the actor it's pretty hard not think of the actor playing it.
Because it's a video game.
Hopefully Guillermo has Guy Davis supplying some of his great monster designs for this. I'm also excited to Kojima's game design tricks and sensibilities put to work in a horror game. I think this genre will play to his strengths in area (I'm hoping Del Toro and Kojima can both cancel out the weaknesses in each others writing)
Release it also on Wii U then. I can't even image what they would be able to do with the Wii U Gamepad (even if it added just an off-tv mode, that would improve the experience considerably). Silent Hill Shattered Memories on Wii wasn't that bad...
Reedus just posted this on twitter.

I have seen it mentioned many times but is there any proof that either Kojima or Torro will be writing the story ?
I wonder if the fact that P.T was exclusive to PS4 means Silent Hills will be too.
I hate it when the invisible man photobombs a picture.

Yeah, it's been happening to me lately.
I wasn't able to not see Jon Snow in Pompei...dunno why. :/

Posting here since the last thread is 90% trying to figure out the ending.
I thought she wouldn't attack me if i stayed still lol.
Just played PT for around 30 minutes before getting killed. Now I have to try and got sleep; this is going to be a rough night...
as creepy as ghost woman is, imagine that replaced with a high-detail, twitching, new Ito creature.

So do we know if it will be Norman's personage literally in the game ala Ellen Paige or just his voice.
