New word on Silent Hills from the San Francisco International Film Festival. Just... not the word you want to hear.

Whaaaaaat? Like complete cancellation?

This year is turning out worse for video games than the last.

There isn't even a point in me being alive anymore.

Well, at least it's a great year for movies.

I knew this was gonna happen when they announced they were taking PT off the PSN. Silent Hills could have been one of those games that will always be remembered, but the Silent Hill series is too cursed to get anywhere now.

Konami - "Needlessly limiting the potential of the worlds greatest creators" What the hell are they dooooing....

To be perfectly fair we have no idea what happened between Kojima and Konami, he could be guilty as sin. It's much easier to blame the faceless corporate execs and not the guy whose games we like, so people tend to do that.

the only thing that could've saved silent hill is dead gaming is dead

I mean he kinda has the right to be like that since he and his team have made such great games. I guess Konami got fed up with him doing that and wanted to have more self-contained development studios.

But like I said, we have no idea what's gone on behind the scenes. It could have been over virtually anything.

Kojima probably spilled coffee on an execs suit.

This is ridiculous. What did Kojima do that Konami really thought it'd be worth it to kill their only chances to stay in the video game business?

[QUOTE=Yogkog;47608058]This is ridiculous. What did Kojima do that Konami really thought it'd be worth it to kill their only chances to stay in the video game business?[/QUOTE] Konami probably don't want to stay in the video game business. It's hardly their main source of income and most likely more of a moneysink then anything.

I imagine the investment of creating the Fox Engine [B]and[/B] MGSV [B]and[/B] Silent Hills is to much to expect from Konami. I imagine KojiPro demanded a larger budget, but Konami didn't expect much of a return on their investment which sucks, but is fair. Games are reaching unreasonable budgets, and if devs can't promise 100% that the game will make major profits, then the game is scrapped. I honestly think it's a miracle that MGSV is getting made at all considering the scale and technology being made to create it. When you think about who the target audience is, the first demographic that comes to mind for me is male 16-30 range, and even then mostly geared towards fans of the series. Unless they do some crazy marketing, I find it hard to imagine many people outside the core demo buying MGSV.

I myself didn't care about MGS at all until they unveiled this game. Then i said "What the hell is this this looks amazing." and I played the rest of the series to find out why MGSV was being so intensely developed. Look at GTA5, everyone and their grandmother knows what GTA is. So it makes sense for Rockstar to pour all their money into it. But when I bring up Metal Gear Solid around family or friends they're like Huh? metalgearWhat? I'm just glad that it looks like MGSV is becoming the kind of production that this series deserves.

fock konami

I hate that all we can do is speculate. This is much more than Konami being upset that Kojima became his own brand. They wouldn't fuck him this hard and cancel a game over that, especially since just his name makes them money and he's been a part of the company for decades

reading all this the only thought in my mind is what the FUCK did Kojima do???

I just really hope that Kojima got too arrogant with Konami execs so they're doing this to remind him of his place then they stop all this and uncancel silent hills once he apologizes and everything goes back to normal. I think the reason they're keeping everything so secret and not giving away too much information is it's easier for everything to go back to normal. People are speculating a lot but nobody knows anything
