Remember the time that DMC fans were angered by DMC 4 Pachinko when Capcom was secretly making DMC 5 ?

This might be the case here.

Also Survive is a good low budget game that was trashed because it was cool to hate Konami.(also all of popular reviewers just trashed Survive for views and clicks)

I think that Konami is making a new SH/MGS game for PS5/Xbox2 currently.

I’m not confident they are. I think MG survive was a quick win to recoup money probably spent during the whole mess of MGS5’s development. Looking on it, with a level head, I don’t think Konami really deserved all the hate they got however I do think their focus has moved away from making actual games now.

If they are looking into new games however I hope they are planning on a solid team to take the series in a solid direction not palming it off on cheap studios or ones that don’t understand the series. A proper remake of the first game could be a good place to start. SH’s latter years were littered with games that didn’t hit the mark and if we are going to get more games like Homecoming or Shattered Memories or ones with good intentions but poor quality like Downpour I’d rather the series just died peacefully. I’ve done my grieving for it now.

Totally agree.

I personally believe that making a remake of older games is a mistake because MGS fans will just hate it similar to the way they hated Twin Snakes.(Since they will just compare it unfairly with their Kojima versions.)

Rebooting MGS with completely new characters or making sequels is a much better option.
MGS has a lot of space for new games.(They can make a Boss game, a MGS game after 4 with a completely new character , a MGS game set between 5 and Metal Gear 1 etc)

Edit: Imo Shattered Memories is a great game.It just wasn't successful because it was exclusive for Wii,PSP and PS2.(Which the latter ones were poor compared to the wii versions.)

I don’t think we’ll see another Silent Hill game ever or at least for a long time, and honestly the way Konami operates I wouldn’t want another SH game anyway.

Nothing can top the first 4.
That’s just a given hahaha

And don’t remake them. The community lost their collective minds with the HD collection.. which Konami ****ed up.

Just leave it alone. I can relive my favorite games forever. I doubt someone else, with Konami at the helm, will be able to make such art again

I just want Rising Revengeance for the PS4 and I'll be happy.

With regards to MGS I agree. Solid snake is alluded to be dead after the events of MGS4 so to me setting it in the future with another protagonist is the way to go. I wouldn’t mind a remake of MGS1 or MG1+2. Fans would get over anything wrong with it and would probably still buy it anyway. I personally enjoyed the GameCube one so...

Also with regards to Shattered Memories I cannot agree. I played the PSP and Wii version and both were not enjoyable experiences for me just in terms of a gameplay perspective. It was dull, repetitive and to some extend broken because the hide feature never worked. Trying to then make it work as a Silent Hill experience, let alone a remake of a classic, is even more problematic. I’m glad you enjoyed it but it was a terrible silent hill game on every level in my opinion.

I personally enjoy Origins a lot more than The Room which to me felt like a side project Team Silent wanted to make but Konami forced into the silent hill series. To me The Room marks the start of when the series went down hill.

No it's not:

A new SH will never happen and even if, by some miracle, it does, I have little faith in Konami NOT to

it up after Metal Gear Survive and Contra Rogue Corps.

dg1995 · 13-10-19, 17:05

Believe what you want.

But I have played Survive for 200 hours unlike majority of those negative reviews that just played survive for like 2-3 hours.

Imagine if this was an official teaser for a SH2 Remake (I know it's not). How would you feel?
