He's just referring to the "Billions of dollars" part.

 

[Black Republican]

Nintendo's our only hope

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

Of course. They bought Kojima and Del Toro to make the game and they'll rename it to something else duh...

 

[Fox_Mulder]

 

[Averon]

I doubt Silent Hills is worth pursuing if all the originally intended players (Del Toro, Kojima, and Norman) doesn't return to make it happen.

My sides.

 

[mgs2master2]

Considering the rumor was just random YouTube guy who started it and "game journalist sites" picked it up (lol ign) it's kinda stupid to believe it in the first place.

 

[BotchPoppaPump]

Flogging a dead dead horse.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

It's frankly incredible that such an outlandish "rumor" went as far as it did. I'm actually surprised people supposedly 'in the know' can be that gullible.

 

[Newlove]

This is what happens when someone anonymous writes anything they can come up with to a publication and they roll with it. They should do better checks.

seems legit

 

[Newtype-001]

Honestly the rumour was so bad its like the person who started it didnt even try yet it was still published by big sites. *sigh*

 

[BleedOrange]

Dat Phil doe

 

[888]

Nah really? I can't believe anyone could buy into this rumor. 80% percent done and Konami wouldn't finish it but sell it? Also Billions lolz.

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Of course it's not true, it's going to be revealed as a PS4 exclusive.

Spoiler

[RealityCheque]

 

[Nightengale]

seems legit

These kind of rumours bring out the truth of people in spades, in all directions.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

That would have been huge for Microfosoft.

I wouldn't be surprised if Phil Spencer was lying and Silent Hills is revealed at their conference as a timed exclusive or something.

I'm calling it.

So Phil is a liar now? He could have just ignored the rumors of that was the plan.

 

[oti]

Good on Phil. He now has to deal with the aftermath these idiots who started this rumour cast on Xbox and MS. That's how you do it.

 

[Tripon]

Well, it was obviously not true.

Still, good thing there is confirmation already.

Its just getting embarrassing at this stage.

Gaming journalism is nothing but gutter clickbait now.

Just sigh.

 

[LycanXIII]

Rooster Teeth released a second video on it late last night on their main channel too. Good going guys.

 

[Sijil]

Modbot must be jumping for joy about now.

 

[gruenel]

Are you telling me someone lied on the internet, Phil?

Wow, all of those thread creators got juniored. It wasn't worth it you guys.

Rumor: These rumors are started by the gaming sites too generate clicks for the ongoing fanboy/console war.

Good thing Phil adressed this, many companies is ignoring commenting on false rumors

 

[Stainless]

yeah the 80% done was obviously bs. Props to Phil for clearing the rumor up right away.



I'd definitely buy an xbox to play it, though, so I'm kind of sad it's not true.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

I wasn't even aware there was a rumor like this.

Well, allow me to link you to some threads.

 

[bananafactory]

My favourite thread made about it was the one where the OP was "disappointed" that Sony didn't spend billions of dollars on securing a somewhat niche game.

Some good lols have been had over this whole thing

 

[DangerMouse]

No shit lol.

My sides.

Oh man, even the Naked Gun facepalm isn't enough lol.

No shit.

Edit: It's sad that there were major publications (*cough* IGN, Shacknews *cough*) completely gullible enough to think that there was even a hint of legitimacy in the rumor, thus reporting on it.

This.

 

[j0hnnix]

 

[eso76]

Hadn't read anything about this rumor and came here somewhat hoping he was actually referring to the cancellation as "rumor".
Hey I'm half asleep.

 

[DieH@rd]

It's sad that we even needed this kind of thing. Rumor was BS from the start.

 

[Stainless]

Well, allow me to link you to some threads.

lol I didn't search but I'm guessing at least 6

 

[Kyoufu]

This was easily the worst rumour I've seen in a long while. The numerous threads made about it was kind of funny though.

 

[j0hnnix]

What if it was true and Phil is just waiting for E3?..... hmmm..

 

[FranXico]

I watched the first YouTube video that started the rumor... I already found the first few statements extremely unlikely as it is, but when they said that the game already was "80% done", I laughed out loud.

If the Konami fiasco had happened a couple of months earlier, this rumor would have made a great April Fool's joke.

 

[Tripon]

This was easily the worst rumour I've seen in a long while. The numerous threads made about it was kind of funny though.

When I was reading the rumor this morning, I checked GAF to see if anyone was dumb enough to make a thread about it. Didn't see any, so I figured nobody was.

Guess I was wrong. LOL.

 

[barit]

yeah right it was not 1 billion but actually 2 billion that MS paid to Konami

 

[L Thammy]

So we'll only see 2 or 3 more threads then?

 

[StrongBlackVine]

What if it was true and Phil is just waiting for E3?..... hmmm..

No it was fake like most of us thought.

 

[GrayChild]

Of course the rumor was false guys. Just watch Silent Hills being announced as the first major exclusive for Nintendo's NX.

 

[benicillin]

Xbox buying Silent Hills or the IP is not that crazy of a rumor, but when you got to the part where they talked about how the project was 80% done you should have known that it was complete crap. It never even got out of the concept stage and everyone involved has pretty much been on the record saying that.

 

[gate stormer]

It would be funny if Nintendo money hatted it for the Wii U.

 

[Kane1345]

Good on you Phil

 

[DNAbro]

What if it was true and Phil is just waiting for E3?..... hmmm..

Make a thread and see what people think.

 

[Elman]

They'd just waste the IP like they do with Rare.

But Microsoft is made of money! And making Silent Hills into a Kinect game wouldn't happen now that Kinect is old news.

Hololens is the future.

Hololens + Silent Hills is well worth the billion-dollar acquisition. Mark my words, Silent Hills - Hololens Edition will be the Xbox One exclusive showstopper at E3!

 

[Lys Skygge]

There was a guy on my Facebook feed yesterday that was so sure this rumor was true lol. Anybody who said differently he would call a fanboy. This ought to shut him up!

I'd unfriend him tbh.
