Funny. Wasn't SE established to do just that? SE, consider this an open letter -- a short one at that: Just create an amazing JRPG and you're back to business. Sure, you can make it revolutionary, playful, or what have you. Just don't create a JRPG with the West in mind; otherwise, your game gets stuck between W and J + RPG.
SE, wanna know why Persona is higher than FFXV in the latest Japanese poll for the 10 most anticipated JRPGs? Because 1) It's a good comb...
You know what? I'd rather have this than RE6. This is just me so no need for animosity. RE6 for me was trying to be many things and failing bad. The only thing good about it was the sales.
REmake HD would be very much welcome since I didn't get to play it 2 console generations ago.
If it's not a Musou game, this could be a proper ARPG DQ style. Maybe within the same veins of Ys or Kingdom Hearts.
Anyway, let's just wait and see how this game actually plays at TGS! :D
I hope it's a new IP. a 32-pager coverage of a game points to it being an AAA title.
If it's going to be an established franchise, it could either be a proper Devil May Cry game or Resident Evil. The latter is unlikely because we already have HD Remake and Revelations 2.
Edit: It could also be Monster Hunter or Breath of Fire!?!?
I was really expecting this to happen, but I got excited upon hearing the new nonetheless. This conference really delivered from a Japanese and non-Japanese gamer's perspective!
Wow! Can't wait! Does anyone know if there'll be a PS4 bundle for this game? Woohoo!!!
I hope this game gets more hype; at least on N4G. It's sad to see only less than a handful of comments here when an update on this game gets posted.
That was awesome! Is this really just F2P? Not that I have anything against F2P games. This could be the Monster Hunter Sony's been looking for!
So this pre-TGS Sony conference will be like Sony's presser at Gamescom and E3? Like on the actual date, 18 September, there will be no more presser from Sony?
I live in the Philippines, so the press-con will take place at 2:00 PM local time.
This is the one game that makes me want to buy a Wii-U; this and Zelda/Mario.
On the side note: I don't know what kind of fashion-culture Japan has at the moment among women, but isn't it high time to somehow lessen the sexy wardrobe and lean more towards game location-appropriate?
I've seen the damp, swampy areas in the game, and most women won't even dare wear skimpy outfits like that. But who knows? Maybe they weren't supposed to be in ...
Hmmm... P.T., aka Silent Hills, according to Hideo Kojima was supposed to give players a hard time beating it for about 1-2 weeks. Could it be that this SCEJA presser was meant to fully unveil SHs?
On the side note: I'm quite sure that there will be surprise announcements at this event. Sony mentioned that they are aware of the minimal presence of the PS4 in Japan but excellent around the world. This could be Sony's response to that.
I would like for this game to be exclusive, not because I am being a fanboy, but because I want the Fox Engine to fully utilize one console at least once in this generation.
If this becomes multiplatform, that's cool too; so long as they create a psychological-horror experience much like or better than the first three games.
Maybe Sony didn't announce Silent Hills as an exclusive yet because they thought nobody would be able to finish the demo and learn that it's the next Sielnt Hill game. Maybe they thought it will remain unconquerable until TGS where they are planning to announce it properly.
Whether it's exclusive or not, I'm just glad a new SH is coming. If it turns out to be exclusive to Sony, it would feel right at home and I won't complain.
I have been an SH fan since SH1, and you don't know how long I've waited for another SH game. Really, whenever I turn on my computer, I would search news for Silent Hill. I did this every single day prior to P.T. Funny, I still do this past Silent Hills' proper reveal.
I wonder what new elements Konami will bring to the SH table this time? I might get some harsh responses for this, but I am thinking maybe this game will see us controlling two characters. Not a 2 p...
Yeah, SHs deserves this attention. It's been so long since this game got lost in the horror haystack, and now it's back. I just hope the game delivers.
On the side note: Does anyone know if the Japanese people in the ending credits of the demo the same people who worked on the first three?
I can't tell for myself if it is the greatest game demo ever, since I haven't had the chance to play it - I have no PS4 yet; however, I am resigned at the fact that P.T. is the most clever way to announce a game. Because of that, SH is now back in the gaming stratosphere.
Resident Evil has a very tough act to follow.
SH1-3 are the best for me. I know only one should be called the best, but these three are so unique that it's a tripe tie.
On the side note: It's the psychological fear that makes a Silent Hill game what it is, which is why it doesn't really matter if the game is in 3rd person view. This is in response to the other n4g article tackling camera perspective for Silent Hills. As long as this game is psycholigically scary and affecting, then this Silent Hills will be a...
I'm gonna get this game no matter what. The butterfly effect system is what's going to make this game replayable.
I'd rather they switch to first person at key moments, but not all the time. Maybe during puzzles the game switches to FPV, but for exploration, I'd rather stick to 3rd person.
Thanks to an ingenious reveal in the form of P.T., SHs is now quite visible in the gaming horizon once again. I've always been an SH fan; even Homecoming and Downour I loved -- the latter was pretty good for its wonderfully integrated side missions.
