New (and incredibly vague) Silent Hill 5 interview

You know, this thread is hilarious to me.

People bitch when the PS3 gets exclusive third party games like SH5, and then they bitch when a former franchise exclusive to the PS line goes to another platform.

MAKE UP YOUR ****ING MINDS PEOPLE.
 
I think the typo's can be attributed to the fact that the said interview was reproduced on another website, so it may have been a summary of things said. Search for the real interview, and ye will have thy golden truth.

Who ? I'd be glad to know .
 
I think that over the last year or so there's been so many whispers, double talk and hints about a US developed Silent Hill game of some description for it not to be true on some level.

I think the real question here is, what the hell have Team Silent been doing for all this time then if there is an American team working on something for the PS3/360 (as EGM rumoured this month) set in the Silent Hill universe?

It seems they are either doing some kind of larger Silent Hill project (ummm.... MMO?) or they are working on a new IP. Which would make alot of sense.
 
Me a week ago said:
- Konami doesn't trust the 360 as the leading platform for any of their major IPs.

It's pretty obvious that they wanted to debut everything on the PS3, and the current sales climate is making that exceedingly...awkward.

After reading the Grandma quote and the jab at the 360's Japanese sales, it's obvious this game is getting the MGS4 treatment.

PS3 exclusive for one year at least.

Silent Hill 2 had a part where you have to stick your arm down a dark pipe to retrieve a key or something. The controller vibrated when you did.

His Wii comments are pretty dumb since I think there's a good chance RE on Wii will be more popular than SH on PS3/360. :lol

we don't have to wait long to find out, and i can't imagine that they *aren't* watching the sales figures for RE4:Wii edition.

the notion that survival horror + wii is a bad idea could well be decided on the next week or so of sales... interesting times.

The original Silent Hill wasn't multiplatform...

Neither was silent hill 3.

And dont quote me on this cuz it could be bs, but i heard its not team silent making silent hill 5. bad news if true.

Edit ; silent hill 3 kind of was,it was on pc as well as ps2 , but omitted from xbox for some strange reason.
 
Silent Hill is about atmosphere. The Wii wouldn't be appropriate at all.

And I own that new Nintendo system, so no trolling here.

YEAH I WANT ANOTHER CREATIVE AND INTERESTING SERIES TO FALL BY THE WAYSIDE TOO HAHAHA
 
This is one of my most anticipated games I'm looking forward to, so I hope and pray it comes to the Playstation 3.

*listening to SH3 soundtrack right now*

"Well clearly with the unbelievable sales of the Wii and the sales of good hardcore-oriented games for it like Zelda and Super Paper Mario and Red Steel in the US, we've decided that we can only put Silent Hill 5 on the rapidly-sinking-almost-sunk PS3 because our game isn't for grandmas lololo."

Indeed.

Hopefully Resident Evil 4 and Umbrella Chronicles do well on the Wii. That might have an effect on their opinion of the Wii.
 
If real, it sounds as though it'll be either a PS3 timed exclusive
ala MGS4
or a simultaneous launch.

The way these Silent Hill updates are worded is always so strange, though. It's as if they've scrapped and started the game over about five times now.

Yeah, I hope they do well too. A port and an on rails shooter. That will help their decision to port previous SH games out, as well as the arcade shooter to Wii.

Doesn't matter the system to me, just not multi-platform. Games like this need to be decided for one platform, and made high quality.
 
:lol :lol :lol @ SH MMO piks

Since the rumors of SH5 being American developed have been making the round foir well over a year now I imagine theyre true but then why does Team SH keep talking about SH5 in interviews, even Gans said in a red carpet event Yamaoka was working on SH5 WTF!

Maybe we are getting 2 SH5 games!!! SH: Fabula Nova Pyramides?

But seriously, there might be a new IP in the making. EGM had a rumor way back that SH Team was developing a new horror game for 360 to be unveiled spring 2006...

I don't mind ports, it's quick ports that bother me. If they take their time to go through a fix it up where it loses quality, it wouldn't be so bad.
 
RE4 and UC should do fairly well on Wii, but what are you going to compare them to on PS3?

And isn't RE more popular than SH by a country mile?

Probably.

I meant I hope they sell as to show developers that mature games can sell on the Wii. :)

Meanwhile PSP will get a port of SH2 and the DS will get an original SH and SH2: Revenant Pyramids, all part of the Silent Hill Alliance. :D

Just checking since I'm still trying to figure it all out....

Does this qualify as "bitter tears," or is that only when Sony fans are upset about not getting what they want.

I'm a little confused about the rules.

Did no one else see this? Is this confirming news will break in July? This is the most exciting news about SH5 that I've heard in years. Which isn't saying much seeing as there hasn't been any news. But still... EXCITED.

Setting myself up for disappointmenton.

Also, why are the Wii fans all over this going 'omg maen Wii look at teh numbahz!!1'. The Wii is the only next gen console I own but I don't want SH5 on it. I'd prefer PS3 but 360 would be fine. Silent Hill is a franchise I care very much about and when it finally hits, I want to be blown away by it all.
 
WTF!!!

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=164888

''The long-awaited next-gen debut of Silent Hill 5 is rumoured to launch this year for both PS3 and Xbox 360.

According to the rumour section of the latest issue of US games mag EGM, Konami is prepping Silent Hill 5 for a release this year and it looks like the game will be released on both PS3 and 360,. But that's only if the rumours turn out to be true.

Not only that, but the mag suggests that development of Silent Hill 5 will be handled by Konami in the US rather than Japan. We reported in April that Akira Yamaoka (producer of Silent Hill 2 on PC) was working on the new game. He said "At the moment I cannot reveal much detail on the story, or our progress, but I can tell you that this game will resemble Silent Hill 2 in the terms of the way the player is directed and the characters' behaviour."

Konami hasn't announced anything specific on a new Silent Hill title and was unable to comment on the rumours when contacted. Stay tuned.''

Whats the true story on SH5? Who is really developing it? Maybe they combined teams? Maybe they transfered SH Team to American for inspiration :lol

Konami!!!

That's what I mean. I hope the battle system becomes more interesting in the next SH, I hate having action difficulties if there's no technique involved. I guess they're trying to emphasise running away, but still...

It's an interesting problem - they need to make your character feel clumsy, awkward, and human rather than like a killing machine, but they can't make the controls feel clunky.

I think we all know what the solution is: QTE

You mean like that geeky guy from the first "The Hills Have Eyes" movie? Because at first he was like a geeky, clumbsy guy. And by the end, he was like
a super badass that didn't **** around anymore.
