Yesterday on the forum Resetet new restart information appeared Silent hill. User KatharsisT He said that Keiichiro Toyama, Masahiro Ito and Akira Yamaoka are responsible for the game, and she will be announced in the coming months.
His words were checked by a number of insiders, including the notorious DuskGolem, who tried to briefly tell where the new project from Konami and Sony came from, in a nutshell describing its uniqueness.
Development
“As far as I understand, the situation is really unique,” writes DuskGolem. “Toyama has a good reputation in the company because he is polite, professional, talented and can do a lot with meager budgets.”
“At the same time,” the insider complains. “Neither the Siren series nor the Gravity Rush set the world on fire. They paid off, but did not become hits. Toyama wants to make another horror game, and Sony fully supports it, but if it were a new game in the Siren series or a new IP, the highlighted version would be much smaller than the past because of the low return and the fact that the game is probably will never come out of its niche. “
That is why, according to DuskGolem, Sony went to Konami. The latter just wants to make quality Silent Hill to restore the company’s lost reputation. Sony, in turn, hopes to grab a larger market share, much larger than the new Siren could provide.
The development agreement was concluded in early 2019. Sony Japan Studio is developing a project using the power of the Siren / Gravity Rush team. In addition, the company contacted many people who had previously worked on Silent Hill. In particular, she attracted such famous personalities as Akira Yamaoka and Masahiro Ito.
Financing
The project is funded jointly by Sony and Konami. The first creates the game, and the second gets its share from each sold copy. On the part of Konami, a very successful decision was to put the development of the project on the shoulders of Sony’s internal studio, she also won’t have to pay for marketing or something that Konami has big problems with. Quality advertising can help its image.
With the release of Silent Hill, Sony does not even expect to set the world on fire. Her interest is that the real budget of the new project is nothing compared to the budgets of other games that she finances. In addition, it was further reduced due to assistance from Konami. The game has great chances to succeed in the horror genre due to brand recognition and fans’ demand for a good Silent Hill, much more than the next Siren or new IP. It will also help Toyama and his team stand out, provide a chance to become recognizable.
DuskGolem heard that according to plan the game will be presented this year (at the moment it has been under development for almost a year and a half). An insider does not try to prove something to someone, giving true arguments, he only wants to be “honest and frank”.
About Hideo Kojima
An insider commented on a recent visit to Konami’s office by the mangaka Maruo Suehiro saying that sure in the above (Sony Japan Studio makes the SH game together with Toyama, Yamaha and Ito), clarifying that NEVER spread or refuted rumors about Sony’s Konami trademark purchase (“because it’s bullshit”).
Regarding the game from Kojima, he said this: previously negotiations were held and it is still under discussion. Work on it has not been launched due to another promising transaction. DuskGolem promised to share new information when he gets access to it.
“So far I have been sticking to what I said above. I believe in this, since they showed me quite convincing evidence. I believe in what is happening. People don’t have to trust me, I just outlined my position. ”
