Dev shoots down Silent Hill multiplayer rumour

Talk of an online play segment in the game emerged over the weekend, based on quotes from an Italian interview with art director Radek Marek.

Radek apparently said that, “At the moment there will be no multiplayer modes in Silent Hill: Downpour, but Konami are investigating a separate chapter devoted entirely to the multiplayer.”

Apparently not.

“Whoever that Italian interviewer was either took Radek’s comments completely out of context, or it was lost in translation,” said Shatsky.

As long as its not part of the main franchise and just a spin-off , much like "Resident Evil Outbreak" was to Capcoms franchise, I wouldn't mind. However, it would need balancing in order to maintain fear. Ideas being for:
- The 2 players to continuously be seperated
- Scarce ammunition
- stronger opponents & more

good why the hell does silent hill need multiplayer for?

mixelon5508d ago

Phew, that was worrying!

Only way I can imagine SH working in multiplayer is story based co-op, probably with the characters being stuck in the different alt "dimensions" and rarely if ever meeting properly. (a bit like the movie) It'd be interesting to have someone in rusty/red/hell being able to influence foggy SH despite not visibly being there.

It could have built in voice comms which is crapped up with interference, making it nearly impossible to communicate with your counterpart/s. Ok that's sadistic.

Makes more sense not to have multiplayer at all.

Acquiescence5508d ago

They've got their priorities straight, and know it's best to focus wholly on the single player component, as not to jeopardise its quality by slapping on a tacky multiplayer element that, frankly, no one wants.

Downpour is gonna be ace.

What happens when you make good games, keep it up konami, you've been doing great. Please do a AAA Castlevania too, or heck just start off remaking/remastering old games to play it safe.

Alek8379d ago

Bought both Castlevania Advance Collection and the Dominus Collection. I would absolutely love to have all the GBA games as well, and of course Symphony of the Night.

What I would really love though, is a true next gen sequel to SotN.

Cacabunga54d ago

Not any games: SINGLE PLAYER GAMES!!!
I bought Silent Hill and MGS3!
Keep them coming, i will keep supporting!

nommers80d ago

Hoping for a new rumble roses someday

Scissorman80d ago

that's what happens when you make silent hill great again.

Inverno80d ago

Ironic. Also I guess the whole "fk Konami" phase is over now that they're selling remakes of already great games. People are easy to please, just rattle pretty graphics them.

gold_drake80d ago

i mean, silent hill f is a brand new game and it sold better then silent hill 2 remake.

franwex80d ago

Woah, making good games that people want to play pays off?
Someone tell Ubisoft and Square-enix!

badz14980d ago

SE make good games. WTF are you talking about?

franwex79d ago

I don’t mean final fantasy. I meant their OTHER games. Like their Babylon’s Fall, Avengers, etc. Don’t be coy.

RedDevils80d ago

You must be living under a rock if you put SE in the same category as Ubisoft.

Reaper22_79d ago

Well,, I think all publishers have made some good and bad games. Its a risky business.

Nice. Im glad they are doing that.

Vits149d ago

Very unlikely to happen, but I really wish they at least remastered Shattered Memories. From a story telling point, that is still my favourite title and I think it would fit really well as a VR game.

gold_drake148d ago

why is it very unlikely to happen?

2 and f sold really well. especially f

if they nail 1, then im all on board

on_line_forever149d ago

When I want to play silent hill game I always expect to get the same atmosphere I was see in SH 1 & 2 with deep and great story connect with silent hill city (not another city ) so if Konami want to continue release new games it should based on the success of these games.

In my opinion I think the game need :

- improve combat ( no more action just improve the combat and physics)
- another good and deep story
- improve creatures and enemies design
- add mysterious puzzles and it will be good if these puzzles connected with game story
- and of course Akira should involved in the project.
- create mysterious characters

gold_drake148d ago

good, cause .. i mean, after 2, it kinda goes downhill.
off the rails after 3 ha

Miraak82 148d ago

I kinda liked SH4:The Room .. it was kinda weird ... in a good way

BlaqMagiq1148d ago

We need a Silent Hill 3 Remake after 1

Looks like Mobile is still their bread and butter. But I'm glad they are at least diversifying finally...

CrimsonWing69171d ago

Isn’t that the case for most in the mobile gaming market?

cloganart170d ago

It's just saddening to see.

TheEroica170d ago

My god what I'd give for a new Castlevania game.... Still one of the coolest IPs in gaming.... I'd love to play a AAA Castlevania game that gets the god of war treatment.... Treat the whip like a character. Simon Belmont.... Dracula. Go.
