Since P.T. has been revived, let's have a thread to discuss the first Silent Hill game.

P.T. has not been revived. A new collaboration has been suggested. It's probably going to be a new IP.
The first game is literally not very good.
>>3005269
It's actually very good, you're mistaken.

>we saw a tweet showing Reedus and Kojima drinking together therefore they're making Silent Hills after all
>what does intellectual property mean again?
i just recently played the wii remake, how does it differ from the original?
>>3005274
Only the very base of the plot is similar; that and the ending is linked to one of the endings of the original.
Apart from that and a couple of references, they're completely different games altogether.
What I love about Shattered Memories is that it pulled something rather amazingspoiler aheadit is a remake while being a sequel, of the bad ending, at the same time.

If they turn the title into a new IP it's 100% for the best. Silent Hills was probably going to be an interesting game and have absolutely no relation with Silent Hill at all. Hope everything related to P.T. development is in Kojima's Production hands and not Konami, but I can't be sure about that due to the awful way the demo was deleted, which smells like Konami.

Great game. Pick a topic, though.

The first game is actually the best one, and Siren is better than any post-PSX Silent Hill game.

Siren is a game for masochists.
Here, let me keep failing and dying during this game-scale trial&error until I figure out the exact one step by step path the devs want me to take...
I totally see where you're coming from though. It is true that there was a shift in the SH series after 1. Everyone sees the series as "psychological horror" but it only really became that with SH2 onwards. I mean, because the enemies in SH1 areborn out of Alessa's minddoesn't make it psychological horror.
People also tend to forget that SH1 had jumpscares, like the cat in the locker for instance. People tend to forget that when they shit on Homecoming for having one or two jumpscares too.

Thats what made it amazing, it was a game meant for hardcore survival-horror fans.
Whether or not it's called Silent Hills, the horror game by Kojima and del Toro that was going to be an SH game is definitely coming back all but in name only. My bet is they'll adapt it into a Siren game since Kojima works at Team Japan now.
Siren is also a very different game than the first Silent Hill games. Main gameplay element is avoiding (undefeatable) enemies and hide from them like in Amnesia,SH: Frozen Memories and Haunting Ground. I think SH4 had a bit of that, too.
Not everyones cup of tea for sure. Personally I missed the smahing nurses with a rusty pipe part.

Totally. Siren was just amazing. Even with the trial and error it still managed to be tense. The sight jacking was a genius idea. And just the overall return to a completely survival based system really distinguished it from it's peers.
Sadly, not retro.

P.T. absolutely belongs to Konami, that's not even a question.
Kojima was their employee, his work is their property. He will have to come up with his own code, assets, employees, computers, etc. himself to make games.
