How would (you) revive the series?

>>375823410
Dating sim. A Nurse and a Manequin are options.

pls respond :(

Renew Silent Hills

>>375823410
Leave it to Tomm Hulett, he'll make it playable.

Twin Perfect

>>375823410
I'd get Hideo Kojima and Del Toro to team up and take the series in a fresh direction, with art design courtesy of the master of body horror Junji Ito.

That'd never happen though.

I would allow news of the development to be announced, then faux being fired from Konami and let everyone believe the project has been abandoned. I would then release the first two trailers. But instead of it being called Silent Hills, I would call it Death Stranding and watch as all the brain dead cretins get excited for it without realizing that it is Silent Hills. Then come E3, 2017 I would reveal Konami never fired me and that Death Stranding is in fact Silent Hills.

>>375823410

let it rest, make something new to take its place.

You don't have to revive everything that dies, anon.

Like this

similar in IDEA to Silent Hill 2, where the past events have scarred the town's spiritual aura and it spasms out some horrible shit.

distance the new game from everything after 4 by having it not named silent hill, have it named innocuously like Down By the Lake or The Dark Twilight or something similar.

Protagonist that is actually a resident of the town, a teen or other young adult like Heather, someone who has some idea of the strange history of the town but is missing the details, maybe someone who wants to get into URBEX and makes a huge mistake. NPC's are also residents of the town with similar knowledge or slightly more than the PC so they can fill in the broadest gaps, the rest of the lore should be handled by notes and such.

a lot of daylight horror at the beginning, I know it's not been a big part of the series in the past but it was done well enough for what it was in 2 and would be a refreshing addition to the series without majorly changing the tone.

third person over the shoulder or first person shouldn't matter as much as giving the person a reasonably limited inventory. [the horror in the game is psychological, not visceral so ignore / neglect / use sparsely the jump scares] not like 4 or Down Pour, but a careful player with the classic unlimited inventory system was never in need of items. make people choose to take a medkit or keep their handgun.

finally, keeping with the urbex idea, make the dungeons and buildings maze-like, and increasingly maze-like as the game goes on. a linear set of locations isn't a bad thing, we all know how awful the idea of choice can be when we think back to Down Pour, but too linear and we get rehashes like 4, a happy medium, and something that would add depth and refresh the gameplay would be to 1: scale the complexity of a location and the amount of available lore similarly to Dead Space and 2: give the player alternate routes through a location to the next, or to a boss room

>>375828954
I like the daylight and urbex approach. I think it could work pretty well.

>>375823410
outsource them to the west.

>>375828954
*scale the complexity of a location and amount of available lore WITH DIFFICULTY like Dead Space

*give the player alternate route through a location and CHANGE PERMUTATIONS WITH PLAYTHROUGHS, SO A CHOICE OF ROUTES ISN'T THE SAME THE NEXT TIME YOU PLAY, also slightly change the riddles, though that's a given because that's cool

Is this a jojo reference?

The most important thing is to set it between 1 and 3 and not AFTER 3, because holy shit, Alessa is gone after 3 and with her everything else you retarded fucks called ""developers""

Just sell the franchise to a studio who cares. It's not like Konami is making anything off it aside from pachi sht. Might as well sell it to Sony for a billion or so.

>>375830203
never

>>375831037
I know it's not the "Protagonist is a Writer" Stephen King route that the usually take, but that kind of character is exactly what's always been used as a protagonist in silent hill. an unskilled but capable person. urbex as a lead in to the events is no more contrived than author goes to town on off season vaca, or idiot goes in search of dead wifey, or scrubb girl goes in for revenge, or victim of paranormal kidnapping seeks escape.

what is some kid not outsider-to-the-town enough for you?

>>375831525
2 established that the town itself has absorbed a residual imprint of Alessa's reality distortion ability. The town is a character of its own and this cannot be forgotten.

Does anyone know if Silent Hill 4 had the blur during cutscenes on the PS2 version? I keep seeing guides saying to disable it for the PC version.

>>375823410
Yes but first I would give the first game a decent remaster. Maybe even a remake for the first one.

>>375825650
I agree about Junji Ito.
Keep hack duo away from it though.

>>375831879
From what I remember, no. Cutscenes were crisp.

>>375832003
And people should be able to trade in a copy of the HD Collection for the new remaster just to get that travesty out of circulation.

>>375831760

The protagonist being a resident of the town doesn't make any sense, this is like Silent Hill 101

>>375832130
Yeah the entire purpose is individuals being sucked into the town to face constructs of their inner demons. Having a resident as protag would open up a giant can of worms in how everything fits together in the town's continual existance.

>>375832130
I like to think of it like the early 2000's TV show Wolf Lake. werewolves rule the small town from the shadows, but not everybody is a werewolf, not even most people know about their werewolf overlords and the people that suspect it keep it to themselves because they are their neighbors after all and you can't have bad relations with your neighbors, especially if they can turn into a fuckin' wolf and maul your ass, or in the case of Silent Hill, sacrifice you to their demon god or forcibly indoctrinate you/your children into their religion.

this is just me attempting to refresh the ideas in the games, you don't have to like it but I think it adds depth without actually saying too much about what goes on in the town, like there's people that live there all the time, even during the events of the games, they do their best to ignore it when their neighbors and blocks/neighborhoods get swallowed by the abyss, and batten down like a hurricane is coming through when things get rough but in the end it's kind of normal to them.

and with the young protagonist being a resident of the town not understanding that there's a good storytelling opportunity.

>>375828954

>>Not story heavy It can be just a fucking guy trying to escape from silent hill and it will be enough. No need for deepest lore shit
No. The reason Silent Hill 2 is so effective is because it's not about the town. The town is an after thought. In SH2 the town is used as a tool, an excuse to explore the characters of James, Angela and Billy. The character isn't an excuse for us, the player to explore the town.
>NOT combat oriented
So it can devolve into a piece of shit hide and seek simulator? Combat orientated is exactly what a QUALITY survival horror game needs to be.
>>Revive pyramid head(s)
Shut the fuck up and stop posting. Your brain is a manifestation of everything wrong with this series.

>>375823410
Remake the games in a brand new graphics engine or just use UE4. Bundle it with Dota 2 or TF2 hats.

Breath of the Silent Hill:

Open-world exploration and James can climb on rooftops. You have to travel to the four Divine Buildings: Apartment, Hospital, Labyrinth and Hotel where you uncover the power necessary to defeat the Town.

Also there's randomly wandering Pyramid Heads roving the countryside and they go BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP and chase after you when they see you.

No. They've attempted this about 4 times now. It does not work.

-find developers and writers that don't suck

-but make them cover areas of the town that haven't been explored before (in the good games)

>>375837090
I don't know anything about Del Toro because I've never watched any of his movies but subtlety is an important part of Silent Hill and it's something completely lost on Kojima.

>MAN WITH AMNESIA AND DARK PAST FIGHT CULT

This, third-person free camera does not fucking work for this genre. It's either fixed camera or claustrophobic first-person like PT/RE7, having the camera pulled out completely undermines both the detail and intimacy of the environment.

>>375836632
It was already topped by the first game

>>375837245
they've attempted it but failed because the wrong people were behind the helm, not because the formula itself is wrong. there's a reason why 2 is regarded as the best in the series.

>>375839062

>SH4 revolves arund the villains story, the protagonist is just there for you to move around with

These things are not mutually exclusive, you can still have a relatable main character without being the center of the story. It becomes noticeably more difficult to get invested in the pivotal moments of that story when you've had zero fucks to give the rest of the time.

>>375839141

>>375839732
It's called Silent Hills because there will be multiple otherworlds. There will be five. The six blocks around Norman's neck contain equations related to black holes and interdimensional travel, the PT radio talks about gateways to alternate dimensions and the men in the sky. The blocks give him and the player the ability to travel between five otherworlds and the the normal world. You can hear two versions of the suicide. One where Reedus hangs himself with a garden house, the PT otherworld. Another where he hangs himself with an umbilical cord, which is leaking from the Death Stranding world.

To help the illusion that Kojima was fired from Konami. Kojima is getting a kick out of disappointing you by saying Silent Hills was cancelled. He's sitting there cracking the fuck up while literally showing you trailers for Silent Hills and you're all none the wiser. He's literally repeating the Moby Dick ruse. All he had to do with say he was "fired" and change the title to Death Stranding.

This E3 when he shows his next trailer you'll start to think holy shit this is seeming like a new IP and more like...no fucking way...anon was right...and then the titlecard will come up reading Death Stranding...then morph into Silent Hills. The crowd will go apeshit and you'll wish you listened to me.

They also use front organizations to sell their products and those organizations refuse to tell you the name of who owns the intellectual property.

Also to make matters worse; Kojima's logo and name trademark for his team got turned down for copyright. And KONAMI still owns the name "Kojima Productions."

Feel free to mention this to him or his team members in Twitter. They won't dare respond to you.

Dorito Pope also slipped up in when being interviewed about how he got involved in the Moby Dick ruse when he said Kojima approached him and told him he wanted to do MGSV in 3 parts (Ground Zeroes, Phantom Pain, so what's Part 3).

agree but /v/ hates this game with passion.

imo zero was a pretty decent work by brits. yamaoka made good ambient music for it and the atmospheres in the game were also pretty ambient. the storytelling was like a b-movie but its taste was pretty unique like some brit cult horror movie.

other western silent hill games tho, its all shit and garbage. also yamaoka lost his way. he didnt compose ambient stuff for it but some wacky avant-garde crap

Retard.

I am fully convinced at this point that Death Stranding is Silent Hills or at least something related to it. He is playing off of life and death, and in his pinned tweet he asks the listener to pay attention to the lyrics of the song.

"The mistake I've made can't be turned around"
"I took the easy way out"

Norman Reedus killed his family and committed suicide, thus explaining his grief in the first trailer when he sees the child. Not to mention the shit with parallel universes and "those who watch over everything" mentioned in PT. Death Stranding is an anagram combined with PT to form PTSD. How the WW2 shit fits in, I'm not really sure though, however WW2 is referenced in both PT and Death Stranding.

>>375841969

>>375840964
Don't worry, buddy. I believe you. Maybe not so much about MGS5 Part 3 but about Silent Hills definitely.

>>375823410
A retired vietnam vet holed up in an old folk's home, slowly living out his days and going senile. One day his best friend and former warbuddy vanishes, with nobody else having ever seen him. When he finds his buddy's dogtags in an elevator the place goes foggy and he finds himself menaced by monsters.

Certain rooms would shift between the normal "foggy" mode and a blasted out recreation of nam, where monsters get more aggressive and dangerous. The old man, normally wheelchair bound, is returned to his younger self and encouraged to kill in this mode. Killing monsters makes the war shifts more likely to happen.

Honestly Silent Hill has had it's time. What more can you do with spooky towns and the cult that hasn't been done already?

>>375841969
I'm not the one getting agitated here, keep projecting though.

>>375841981
All second hand sources, all rumors, no confirmation. Get fucked.

>>375841986
>Norman Reedus killed his family and committed suicide, thus explaining his grief in the first trailer when he sees the child.
The men in the sky have been possessing fathers all across the country and have been making them kill their family. The men in the sky possessed Reedus and made him kill his family. When they relinquished their control over him he couldn't deal with what they made him to do so he hanged himself. "PLEASE FORGIVE ME LISA, THERE IS A MONSTER INSIDE OF ME". When Lisa snaps your neck you hear the sound of unzipping (her taking off his clothes) and tearing flesh. You then wake up and see the bloody bag containing an undisclosed item. She tore a fetus out of Norman's stomach and put it in the bag, hence the C-section scar in Death Stranding.

>>375841972
>you always have about 50 weapons
i didnt give a shit about it, if anything enjoyed it.
since the protag was a cute bro like some b-movie stuff from the beginning, i enjoyed the game that way. and the foggy atmosphere with yamaokas music, and the designs of creatures were pretty cool. shits better than sh3 and 4, for me. because i like foggy stuff and ambient stuff.

That's a bit of a reach, m8.

Yeah, but it's either that or a generic iraq vet story. I think wartime horror has a lot of potential, especially with how fucked up things got in nam.

Forget to mention: main character is crippled. He can only move around in his wheelchair in the normal segments.

>>375842518
It's a very specific reference to the Orson Welles War of the Worlds broadcast. Other shit happened in 1939 you know

Okay so Kojima has repeatedly said that he wants to give people hints about what this is, meaning that there is more than meets the eyes with Death Stranding. Not to mention some of the other comparisons between PT and DS.

>umbilical cords
>"Death Stranding" PT character cannot die and is stranded in the hallway without a way out
>inversed picture next to the clock in PT shows a tunnel, seen in the second trailer
>error screen in PT mentions "J", also seen etched into the wall of the second trailer
>all of the shit about mistakes, regrets, and the central theme of death

This E3 is gonna be an exciting one

>>375842853
Kojima is great handling themes, even if his stories fall short. He is good with gameplay and technology too.
Arguably, he never made a bad game on those aspects, just with quirks on other areas, such as MGS4 cutscenes being too long, or MGSV twist being retarded and the missions repetitive.

>>375842853
People think because he can throw together catchy music videos and has his characters wink at the camera that he's some sort of Narrative Mastermind

I'd play up the guilt aspect up.

At the beginning of the game the most dangerous things you have to worry about are other humans who only take one to four hits to go down.

But at various points in the game you have the option to do something morally questionable to proceed as a convenient shortcut instead of going through a more challenging encounter. Like, say, you need to get through a door or face off against more people than you think you'd be able to handle with the amount of ammo you have left. But the door is locked, and oh, that shop has a crowbar you could use to break it down.

So you rob a store to gain access to that shortcut, but doing so increases an invisible "guilt" meter. And the further you go along the more heinous the choices become. But if you're up the point of committing murder you won't feel as guilty about stealing.

As the guilt meter increases so does the town's hold on you. Monsters start appearing, locations start shifting, doors lead to where they shouldn't, or doors become walls and walls become doors.

The more horror aspects get introduced the more convoluted the puzzles become, way more convoluted than anything in past Silent Hills games at the highest levels, but there are far less of them, compared to if you don't do anything that builds your character's guilt up the puzzles are a bit easier but way more numerous.

One of the mysteries of the game would be "Why can these gangs and looters operate in Silent Hill no problem?"

I'd also have the people who worked on the first three games around to help so I don't fuck it all up, and I'd seriously listen to their advice.

>>375849004
>how does MGSV relate to Silent Hills when MGSV makes sense canon wise?
Silent Hills is it's own thing, it's not going to crossover with characters in MGS. MGSV ruins the series canon beyond comprehension. Zero despises Big Boss and wants to fucking kill him. He and Big Boss are supposed to be having an insane war, constantly at each other's throats. But instead Zero rescues Big Boss from the helicopter crash, nurses him back to health and even creates a fake body double to use as bait for his enemies. Yeah, totally sounds like something Zero would do.

Not to mention Zero is now in his coma before the events of MG1? Big Boss created Outer Heaven and Zanzibarland so he could kill Zero. Zero was also the one who reconstructed Frank Jaegar as the Cyborg Ninja and put Big Boss into his nanomachine coma. Because of Zero's actions in TPP Big Boss's speech at the end of MGS4 makes no sense whatsoever.

The Venom Snake thing is dumb as fuck anyway.

Come E3 the GzHelicopterCrash variable will change, triggering the real ending of Phantom Pain. We will likely revisit Camp Omega and find out what REALLY happened after the helicopter "crash". The revelation will completely refrain the events of TPP, potentially retcon them as a coma dream, leaving the real MGS5 to tell the war between Zero and Big Boss, as well as how Big Boss become the villain and recruited Foxhound.

Silent Hills was looking amazing, but they don't have anybody talented enough to make it good now. Like all legendary series, though, it will eventually come back.

I think PythonSelkan were largely right about MGSV and that had the game been finished properly, they would have hit the nail on the head almost perfectly.

While their Death Stranding theories are interesting to watch, I don't believe Kojima and Konami are in some kind of ruse, especially since Konami is in a financial dire straight right now. They wouldn't risk pissing off their consumers by publicly wanting them to hate the company. Their falling out with Kojima is understandable considering his constant flushing of money down b list actor toilets, but their treatment of him was meant to stay private.

I'm guessing since he no longer has access to the Metal Gear and Silent Hill licenses, he's making a hybrid of both so that he can continue his "stealthy CUHRAZY soldiers" games in a new direction.

Makeit about a cult member directly after the events of either 1 or 3/their god being beaten to death by some pipe.

The idea of someone having a crisis of faith in a cult that involved drugging people, abusing children, the odd murder here and there and all sorts of fucked up shit, while the MC was probably dosed up to the eyeballs on White Claudia, would make for an interesting backstory to explore. Maybe have them try to rescue as many people as possible from the cult as they make their escape. It also might be interesting to make the plot a little clearer than before (because there's little left to be kept secret of obscure at this point) and focus on the actual gnostic philosophy behind it. Because that shit is more terrifying in the real world than any weird section of a video game.

A "guilt meter" would never work, because the things you're doing aren't fucking real and your idea of a "reward" is skipping gameplay

I bet you like "insanity" meters in games too, yeah?

Calling it a meter was probably wrong.

The more morally ambiguous choices you do the more the world changes around you, introducing more and more of the typical Silent Hill stuff.

This.

Scarier levers

Ignore SH2 ever existed and make everything about the cult.

Revive Silent Hills and put Kojima Productions in charge. But that'll never happen. Metal Gear, Silent Hill, Castlevania, and all the franchises spawned by Konami are dead. Blame Konami's top brass for being in league with the Yakuza.
