Silent Hills, the video game project from Guillermo del Toro and Hideo Kojima that has been beleaguered and believed canceled due to restructuring at developer Konami, may have just found a new lease on life as an Xbox One exclusive title.
The report comes from YouTube channel The Know, who claims to have received a tip from the same source that informed them of the new, cheaper Xbox One model ahead of Microsoft's announcement. According to the source, Microsoft is quickly pushing through a deal to pay Konami billions of dollars to acquire Silent Hills, hoping that the deal will go through in time for an E3 announcement.
According to Rooster Teeth's source, Silent Hills is 80% complete, and Microsoft is trying to purchase the property for "billions" of dollars by E3 this year - where it will officially reveal the game as an Xbox One exclusive. It could reportedly be released as soon as March 2016.
Konami pulled the PT demo for Silent Hills from the PlayStation Store "as a show of good faith to Microsoft," Rooster Teeth said.
Billions for a series that peaked during the ps1/2 era? That seems crazy. Oh well, if they do buy it I guess I'll just get an Xbox one as eventually there with be enough exclusives to make it worth buying.
Sounds like something Glados would make up. Billions just sounds ridiculous, and 80% completed with hardly any input (if any at all) from Del and Reedus?
if it does come along I cant see it being with reddus and del on board/hired, but who knows.
Survival horror community is small, no doubt about that but SH is surely worth the money if you ask me. At least it hasn't been turned into crap like RE. With the marketing budget MS has it can easily turn back to its glory days anyway.
Oh please no, I am literally just back from the store having bought a ps4 for bloodborne and the last of us.
I despise console exlusives, had to buy a damn ps4 just for my favourite series then they tell me my second favourite is coming to another one of these potatoes?!

Don't worry maybe just rumours. Or if it is true then I don't see a good Silent Hill game happening as an Xbox One exclusive.
Xbox gamers are more about hype. They rather have Michael Bay explosion movie trailer and no gameplay than a good game. So if Silent Hill comes to Xbox then it is probably a third person cover shooter with pyramide head shooting with a minigun ...

it's like ms taking tomb raider. it's not about benefiting themselves, it's about hurting sony. ms just invest in and create your own exclusives, beyond halo please.
Price seems very suspicious unless they want to do a LOT more with the IP like movies and stuff. Billions is way too much for a game that casual gamers have never even heard of.
Minecraft demanded that pay because it is an absolutely huge sensation across all age groups, consoles, and player types with an established toy brand, clothing presence, and even multiple book series. A Silent Hill game wont make single a digit percent of what Minecraft does.

Maybe in our little circle of the internet, but when PT demo dropped I had at least three people ask me "What is Silent Hill???" when I told them about it.
If it was 80% complete they could just release it to the PC modding community. Within 6 months it'll be 100% more graphically awesome and fully playable.
