Rumor: Konami Bringing Multiplayer Silent Hill to XBLA
March 18, 2011, 4:14 pm
In an interview with XBOX 360 Magazine Italy, Radek Marek Art Director on Silent Hill: Downpour told his interviewers that Konami is actively investigating a multiplayer Silent Hill title for XBLA. A translation of that interview was done by one of our forum members.
360 Magazine said:
360M: Can we expect a multiplayer mode in Silent Hil?
Marek: At the moment there will be no multiplayer modes in Silent Hill: Downpour, but Konami are investigating a separate chapter devoted entirely to the Multiplayer. We do not know the details but it should be an XBLA title that most players have to survive in the town of Silent Hill.
We do know that Vatra looked into a multiplayer component for Silent Hill: Downpour, but it was canned in early development. If Konami does pursue a multiplayer only Silent Hill title for the XBLA were a bit hesitant but also interested. The Silent Hill series has been know for its atmosphere of isolation. Having players running around might work if done correctly, but we need to hear more info before were sold on the idea.
