Is Silent Hills Cancelled?

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

btw If i were all of you I'd hop on PSN and get the PT Demo while you still can

[@TheRoyalBurral]

AlphaOmegaSin I feel bad for some companies now a days. Konami is going to shit and SEGA's going to shit. I also wish there would be another Elebits game

[@mclaine33]

AlphaOmegaSin Even if you don't have a PS4 or you're planning on getting a PS4 in the future, I say you should still go here and download the game before it is removed. www.playstation.com/en-us/games/pt-ps4/

[@robert10057]

AlphaOmegaSin would you do a video on del toros new movie that's coming out crimson peak

[@TheInvadersonic]

AlphaOmegaSin I would if I had a PlayStation ;.;

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

TheCinematicGamer It actually made me smile someone else like Elebits. That was the first ever Wii game I beat

[@Teppest33]

So, if Silent Hills is cancelled, what the fuck is Konami going to do after Metal Gear Solid V?

[@Raaplexis55]

TaoOfTheMachine Pump out more MGS until its a yearly release like Call of Duty and then slowly die off like Sega.

[@TheMerkWithTheMouth]

TaoOfTheMachine Eventually realize that all the MGS games they put out after Kojima leaves are shit and nobody's buying them, then beg Kojima to come back.

[@optimusN64]

They need to go back and start making some of their old I.ps again. Gradius, frogger, contra, and keep making old school castlevania games. When doubt, make a new I.p We need symphony of the night 2. Nintendo was supposed to publish it for the 3DS.

[@c1gomez19]

***** If Kojima is not the creator-director, no one will buy Metal Gear Solid games. Its his baby, only he can manage something like that.

[@excitedcrayon]

They will rely on selling Pro Evolution Soccer, which I don't even think will remotely make them that much money.

[@Irrashaimase1]

Konami is acting like a 5 year old that had it's feelings hurt.

[@googlefish80]

Watch the company Kojima makes will buy out Konami in the next three years

[@svetlanarodriguez7429]

Gobbie Bag Yeah they need to grow the fuck up. My 7 yr old nephew is more mature than the grown ass men at Konami.

[@PrincessNine]

googlefish80 too much cash Watch him buy the rights to metal gear and later on silent hill maybe even castlevania if we're lucky

[@TheMysteriousOswald]

DeathgGod That would be sweet. Unlikely, but potentially sweet. Konami is braindead.

[@PrincessNine]

TheMysteriousOswald i hope hopes that kojima can afford to buy back mgs, watch him take his engine and make a good game and organize a buy out. Granted konami might fight back hard

[@Myuu]

I couldn't say it any better. I'm on the verge of tears since I saw del Toro's quote and also Norman Reedus' twitter post. It was too good to be true since the beginning. Damnit. Thanks for fucking up.

[@Dot_Executables]

I would honestly blame the huge boom of video game development, though Konami and Capcom are still to blame as well. When there becomes a huge saturation and plethora of devs and game makers who shit out DLC-ridden titles like Ass's Creed, and Call of DayCare, it gets harder to spend your money on good complete games, which the market purchases mainly Call of Duty and those types. I guess Capcom and Konami have been trying to reach their hand into that demographic to pull themselves out of the financial problems... the problem with that is that Konami and Capcom lost their ideas and goals which was to make masterpieces, only to fall victim to making money off of little to no effort with franchises that were iconic and filled with nostalgia of how great they were and still can be in the modern market. They fail because Konami started off great and fell to capitalism and the free market, trying to get its hands in on the billion dollar industry as well. hard to put in what I'm trying to say, but I feel that the saturation of titles hindered Konami and Capcom.

[@Dot_Executables]

GreenNinjaTea I also accept Call of Booty.

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

Call of Duty smells like booty.

[@opuscontinuum]

Konami and capcom are their own worst enemies they just dont draw in the creative talent like they use to. They just dont make the margins on product like they use too. They will either restructure successfully or we will see more 90s franchises licensed out of existence.

[@Dot_Executables]

Opus Continuum Blame Activision, Ubisoft, etc for mass producing mediocre titles. When money gets involved it kills most creative drives, unfortunately.

[@opuscontinuum]

People's taste change I realize they put out yearly releases but the pool of potential customers is so large you can do that now. The majority of consumers dont buy every iteration of a series the figure is more like once every 4 years. Alot of 90s companies arent structured to survive nowadays plus that generation is retirement age or just refuse to hand the reigns to anyone else so they will milk it til their dead. Crotchety old men suck.

[@OrcOrcImAOrc]

Breaks my heart. You had this awesome guy who worked to the bone to produce the best shit he can while under insane amount of pressure and you still go and fuck it up. Way to go Konami... way to go

man i love the sillent hill 2 soundtrack playing in the background

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

khaled dz It's my favorite game in the series, the music in the games has always been amazing.

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

I didn't acually play through that game until a coue years ago, and it scared the shit outta me more than maybe any game I've ever played. The monsters were outstanding and creepy enough just to look at, much less having to actually fight them.

[@abyzzwalker]

khaled dz It only makes it more sad :/

[@skywriter9532]

Hey Alpha what's the song in the background?

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Crimson Gamer Promise from Silent Hill 2 OST kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKLEnXqbr9dqbNE

[@skywriter9532]

+AlphaOmegaSin thanks.

[@elends2302]

That's Akira Yamaoka for you. He can craft chords that can stir the soul and conjure works that can scare the living shit out of you.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

***** A lot of the music in the game is surprisingly relaxing. Actually got the entire OST playing right now as a matter a fact. Makes me wanna play through 2 again for the million time

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

***** Silent Hill games are all psychological horror games, them having calming and even soothing music to accompany ambient unnerving music actually makes a lot of sense.

[@bufu0808]

Thanks for the background music Alpha. Brings back a lot of memories.

[@Tall_Order]

LIke I said in mundane mat's comments, the future of survival horror may have to rely on amateur / indie developers, because the big guys seem to no longer be reliable. Rather people like indie or not.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

***** Thing that sucks about that is the big companies are the ones who really helped forge the genre. They got the franchises and characters etc. for em all that we all wanna see live on. Such a damn shame :\

[@TheKnizzine]

***** Takashi Shimizu and the team that made the Clock Tower games are making a spiritual sequel to it called Night Cry. It's only for Vita, Android and iOS though and if you wanna get technical Clock Tower was more adventure game than survival horror but still...

[@ZenZeron3]

***** The only major thing survival horror has in the future now is pretty much FF5 but there is an indie game called Bizeta: Silent Evil that I'm keeping my eye on

[@ktmrdr617]

***** survival horror still exisits, not under the names it used to ie, alone in the dark, silent hill, resident evil, and many more but from softwares "souls" series does a fine job, this included bloodborne. I have not been more tense during a game since RE3 than I have been with bloodborne.

[@warlockguy42]

***** Dying Light, Outlast, The evil within, Until Dawn, RE revelations 2, Nightcry, DOOM, Alien isolation, and a ton of others are here in the beginning of this gen, Technically survival horror isn't dead but the same games from back then are either gone or not as they use to be.

[@tmobile2120]

the tone of the music and how passionate you are during this rant really makes me glad i subscribed to this channel 2 years ago. you give out such great rants about not just video games, but other subjects that are you care for, enjoy hearing or something that is serious. you really show the world that you are a down to earth person. people need to learn from you

[@TheJustin905]

[@Real1Gaming]

At least we survival horror fans still have Fatal Frame 5 to look forward to

[@MsUnamusedNerd]

That didn’t age well. There’s been talk about a Nintendo switch Fatal Frame....not holding my breath....

[@maniaccubonetcg9253]

Your speech mixed with the background music made a few tears drop from my eyes. I'm going to go bust out my NES,play Castlevania and hope for the best in the future.

[@floppytokey]

I think it's better if it stays cancelled. I mean, if Kojima is not working on it, it could turn out to be shit.

[@watur123]

This logic is so fucking retarded...

[@floppytokey]

I know, and im sory. But i just don't want the game without Kojima

[@Silvergun_Raven]

Guinness The developers who've worked on the games since Team Silent have confused the lore with contradictions and copy and paste story mechanics from SH2. The cult was one of the main focuses of this series.

[@MetalHearts100]

Guinness Lol are you sure? Since sh 4 many retards have been tried to make sh games without success

[@SubliminaIMessages]

Guinness Not really. Kojima was pretty much holding Konami together.

[@ulfricstormcock9042]

You put Promise on in the background? Cmon man...right in the feels.

[@AmanojakuPenguin]

Well done, Konami: losing the one guy keeping your ENTIRE company from sinking!

[@betenoire2534]

Omg, I was already sad enough but then you just had to play Promise from Silent Hill 2 soundtrack in the background. Almost made me burst into tears. Silent Hills was the game I was most excited for.. Sigh. Guess I'll just go replay Silent Hill 2 or 3 on my PS2...

I guess the hills are silent once more.

[@Equinox2149]

Dairantō DX Too soon man, too soon.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

I apologize for this post

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Dairantō DX Nah Konami outta be doing that if anything

[@djgamer5546]

I think I remember reading (maybe on Wikipedia) that the team mentioned they'd continue on with or without Kojima. Though I believe that was in reference to some of the extra work he was doing on MGS V at the time.

[@DarkKuroNeko]

I hate the fact that Konami is so quiet about these things its irritating

[@TehMimi]

If Silent Hills truly is canceled, I will never purchase a Konami product again. Silent Hill fans have been disappointed too many times for this.

[@megamanx503]

as much as i want silent hills to come out, and believe me i do, i bought a PS4 just for PT, and yes just for that. but i know it's going to be cancelled, the sad thing is i bet they already canned it inside the company and have not released the news to the public, just like konami would do with something this amazing

[@bradwhiteis179]

Love your constent passion...its the main ingridient that viewers flock to the one and only"Alpha Omega Sin".

[@thatgiambalvoguy]

We need a petition of some sort, or make it a viral thing, telling Konami "we want Team Silent back". I want videos all over youtube, i want posts on every social media website, i want people going door to door.....We want Team Silent back. At least for one more goddam game. If we had just one....just fucking ONE more grade A+ Silent Hill game made by Team Silent....i feel we all could put our souls to rest. We want Team Silent back

[@TheKain202]

ThatGiambalvoGuy How would you get Team Silent back together? It was disbanded and it's members went their own way, most becoming part of other companies. You want them to quit their jobs?

[@thatgiambalvoguy]

Who said they had to quit? I didn't say they had to make another set of Silent Hill games. Just one more and that's it. I know for sure Masahiro Ito would do it

[@TheKain202]

ThatGiambalvoGuy Well, since most of old Team Silent is part of Sony now and Silent Hill as a franchise belongs to Konami, then yeah - they would have to quit their jobs at Sony and rejoin Konami to produce a Silent Hill game.

[@thatgiambalvoguy]

TheKain202 Isn't it possible to do side projects with other companies?

[@uc79newtype]

TheKain202 they can just make the same game but called it noisy mountain and not silent hill. Ehhh ehhh??

[@Kingjoker1357]

This soundtrack on the video matched your voice from calm and relaxed to angry and mad in the middle pretty cool

[@OriginalBloodAce]

Should we really be surprised Konami is failing? Look at all the great companies of the past, Activision, sucks now, Capcom, sucks now, THQ, no longer exists, Ubisoft, sucks now, Bungie, great with Halo, sucks now, Rareware trash for a long while now, Hudson Soft, no longer exists, Sega, sucks now. All the big companies from the past are dying, and they will be replaced in time with the new breed of dev's Indie Dev's will step up and become the next big 3rd party companies. Playtonic aka the former Rareware guys will be big, Team Garage (Splatoon) will be great, Yacht Club Games (Shovel Knight) will be great, hell myself as an Indie Dev will step up (hopefully lol) Point is the great companies of the past are coming to an end. So who is left? Namco Bandai? All they have left really is the Tales Of games which are amazing.

[@joseagustincuesta]

OriginalBloodAce What about Nintendo? I completely disagree with the KZbin bullcrap, but at least their games are good and fun to play. People can criticize them all they want by saying that it's the same formula over and over again since the 90's, but they didn't lost their way when it comes to making good games.

[@OriginalBloodAce]

José Cuesta Nintendo only has their games, as a BUSINESS, they have made the most worthless, and stupid decisions in history the past while. If it wasn't for Miyamoto trying his best to keep everyone on track Nintendo would have ended up making Toasters by now.

[@OriginalBloodAce]

Atlus is love Atlus is Life Sorry, you'll get no info from me. Our project will be revealed when I say it's ready to be revealed. Only thing I will say is it's not a stupid shooter.

[@joseagustincuesta]

OriginalBloodAce That's actually a really good point. However, I value their games: as long as they're good, I'll buy them. Worked for me so far. If you see it from a more business like standpoint, yeah, they made a lot of stupid decisions.

[@warlockguy42]

José Cuesta Yeah but I am not a fan of everyone acting like they are so innocent, they got rid of one of my favorite characters in the new smash bros.

[@MisogiProductions]

We will never get a great game like Silent Hill 2 again. One of my favorite games of all time. There has not been a Japanese developed Silent Hill game since Silent Hill 4: The Room. I see it goes like this in terms of quality: Silent Hill (Great), Silent Hill 2 (Masterpiece), Silent Hill 3 (Great), Silent Hill 4: The Room (Good), Silent Hill: Origins (Dull), Silent Hill: Homecoming (Bad), Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Better), Silent Hill: Downpour (Descent), and Silent Hill: Book of Memories (Not even a Silent Hill game). The point is that since they allow American studios not related to Team Silent, since they did not want to make a Silent Hill game past 3, to make these games, they do not hit the main points. I am livid right now, I hope they don't throw away this opportunity at a chance of reviving Silent Hill. The only thing I can think of for them to not get rid of it would be if the new Fatal Frame does well. I think that will put survival horror back on the map in terms of a 1995-2006 revival of those times.

[@littleocean]

***** I really enjoyed Silent Hill 4, and that game would have been a whole lot better if it were a stand alone game called The Room as initially planned by Team Silent until Konami made them change it into a Silent Hill game, and that's why Team Silent parted ways with Konami. Silent Hill 1-4 on the PS2 are the definitive Silent Hill experience, no Silent Hill after that has come close in capturing the mystique of those first 4 games. The way they handled the HD collection revealed the true nature of Konami, that is the worst HD collection of all the HD collections ever made, and there are many.

[@MisogiProductions]

***** Exactly, overall, Team Silent did not want a Silent Hill after 3, which is fine. Konami basically milked the cow dry on that one. Then they started beating a dead horse. Now that they have something new, they want to scrap it because they are afraid that since Kojima is no longer present, that the game may not sell well at all. It is all about money when it comes to these companies. Sometimes a risk is needed to succeed.

[@sobrev1viente]

***** The forbiden sire 1, 2 and blood curse, i think those are from the same director has the first silent hills.

[@MisogiProductions]

sobrev1viente Always wanted to play those games, but they censored Blood Curse, I'm thinking about importing. I don't know if they are. I'll research it. Edit: He is I just researched it. I'm surprised. I didn't know. That just makes me want the game even more.

[@sobrev1viente]

***** DO IT, DO IT, DO IT.

[@CecilTheDarkKnight234]

I was hoping you would do a video on this alpha, it seems that alot of Japanese developers have lost their way. First Capcom now Konami.. It's really fucking depressing to see companies just fall apart at the seams.

Konami makes tons of money from pachinko and slot machines. Video games are far from their main source of revenue, they could stop making games altogether and still make enough money to stay afloat.

[@OnlyZunkin]

They even had Junji Ito working on it.

[@Pyrithe]

I miss the old days of gaming when companies tried to be creative. Now they just cookie cutter everything. So many of the creators of great franchises have left the companies who just want the same game over and over again. I'm not saying I don't like some franchises like GTA, Metal Gear Solid, and Super Smash Bros. But these companies just see the bottom line. Why not make a sort of "work on sequel, then on original idea and alternate" deal. Some of my favorite games are one time deals, Tomba (or Tombi), Jade Cocoon (we don't speak of JC2), and Ephemeral Fantasia. This is also why the indie market is so big. They think fresh, they think new. This is why Mojang climbed so quickly in popularity alongside Minecraft. Often, when I game shop online now, I look at indie games long before trying some big name game. 7 Days to Die, Survivalist, Pixel Piracy, Awesomenauts... so many that are out there which are great. I can see ultimately where this is going... eventually the fans of these big name games will get bored of the same thing every 2-3 years and just stop buying them, and the companies will be put in a position of needing something original but all they got are trained coding guinea pigs who don't think creatively while I can see many of the creative people like Hideo Kojima starting their own companies and making their own games, making original titles that people will love like they used to. Sadly, for that light at the end of the tunnel, we will have to enter the tunnel and push through the darkness. See you all on the other side.

[@RabbitOST]

It's true what you say about the Indie area of gaming nowadays. Big name companies I swear are just making the same game with a different name or just don't know what the fuck their doing anymore (Looking at Sega). I've been playing Stranded Deep and its real fun. The Escapists is good too. Both Indie by the way. :)

[@chrisrisk892]

Yeah, I was very sad to hear about it being cancelled. My little sister, my big brother, and I were looking forward to the game coming out. Silent Hills was something abunch of gamers were talking about, it would have really helped the company

[@lucbauer]

it is the end of konami. i love to see a huge company going down for their own fault.

[@JuwanBuchanan]

Yup this is the beginning of the end

[@Abon666]

Konamis main source of revenue is pachinko and slot machines. They could stop making video games altogether and still stay afloat.

[@BortzProductions]

Like I said in your previous video about this, I am actually glad if it ends up being cancelled. Silent Hill is my favorite videogame franchise, but at this point it's the Sonic of survival horror. There's more bad stuff than there is good. I wish they'd stop beating the dead horse and let it be remembered for the 4 original good games. Or at least FUCKING INVOLVE HIROYUKI OWAKU, MAIN WRITER OF SH AND STILL WORKING AT KONAMI, IN THE PROJECT. Truth is, Konami doesn't know shit about SH lore nor does it care, and it shows. So yeah, I hope Silent Hills is never released. I'm sick of games messing with the original lore with alternative dimension and "hurrrr it's purgatory" bullshit.

[@animekid9000]

BortzProductions >messing with the original lore with alternative dimension You mean the thing Silent Hill 3 and 4 out right confirmed? You cannot explain many aspects of the series, even the Team Silent games, without the Otherworld/Fog World being 'another world'. Also, Hiroyuki Owaku was never the main writer of Silent Hill. He only wrote Silent Hill 3, and did some programming for 1 and 2. Not exactly the 'main writer'.

[@BortzProductions]

animekid9000 SH 3 has alternative dimensions? You mean like in the mall? When they're not even in Silent Hill? And SH4 is an entirely different story, you don't even visit the town. So there.

[@watur123]

What a load of dogshit.

[@animekid9000]

BortzProductions >SH 3 has alternative dimensions? You mean like in the mall? When they're not even in Silent Hill? That looks and acts exactly the same as Silent Hill's Otherworld and isn't implied to be any different at all and even uses scenes and a boss inspired off the first game? Yeah, I'm sure it's totally unrelated. >And SH4 is an entirely different story, you don't even visit the town. So there. Expect you do, two of the 'worlds' are within Silent Hill. And the plot wouldn't had even happened without the town and it's cult, so why is it 'entirely different'?

[@BortzProductions]

animekid9000 So basically you're saying that there's an alternate dimension everywhere, not just in Silent Hill? Then how is SH special at all? lol SH3: Vincent says "I know about the pleasures of THIS world" referring to the "normal" dimension when he's in the "rusty world". Just another piece of evidence. And no, SH4 has nothing to do with the nightmare projected by Alessa because it's all created by Walter. Different nightmare, different rules. In SH4 you explore a distorted world created by Walter's mind using the room as a catalyst. Completely different. You might wanna check out The Real Silent Hill Experience here on KZbin for more details. It's a fan made documentary aproved by members of Team Silent and even voice actors from the games.

[@Snotnarok]

It's more alarming to me, with consoles they're able to remove something from the store and you can no longer access it. Why isn't anyone voicing this sorta thing? As far as I'm aware, even if you bought a game on these platforms and they remove it from their store, you can no longer download it regardless of purchase. Isn't that a bit dodgy? I'm aware, PT is technically a demo, I'm not really referring to that- though that is shame since it was more of a game than Ground Zeroes which they had the balls to charge 30-40 bucks for.

[@Snotnarok]

***** it wasn't really capcom's fault as crazy as that sounds. Their rights to the game ran out, much like MvC2 on PS2 and such so they can't legally sell the games anymore. Which, fine whatever I get that's not something they can do about it but- on steam if a game gets yanked off? Anyone who bought it has FULL access to the game still- others can't buy it but owners get updates and can still get it no matter what.

[@Snotnarok]

***** No problem, don't blame you for blaming capcom, not much they haven't screwed up in the past few years. :\

[@nicomoron001]

Snotnarok aaaaand thats why i would never buy a game with DRM

[@residentevilfan528]

nicolas moron But everything has DRM I mean look at the shit steam just did not with just the mods but also saying they will lock out accounts that don't spend any money. I am not starting a flame war here just saying DRM is everywhere an it is bullshit we need to start voicing ourselves; these companies are taking advantage of us and I won't stand for it.

[@undead4500]

[@kaeltxwz]

caleb osborne yeah, the game is not even fun to play anymore, now it's just a broken mess.

[@KalebDaubMooshra]

I play yugioh still, but that's because I don't care what others think. I build my own E. HERO deck and love and can still stand a chance against much meta. I will agree the game is a mess and the Arc V anime is the only thing keeping me somewhat invested. More than anything play how you want, or switch to something like cardfight vanguard it's becoming so budget friendly now with the new G series. Although meta decks still cost $200-300, but with no ban list and just two restricted cards the game is pretty great. Just buy two Cardfight Vanguard G decks and you have a really good start even for tournements.

[@OmegaMkII]

I haven't been into it recently, what did they do to it ;-;

[@bardhi09]

caleb osborne Konami ruined Yu-gi-oh back in the day when they convinced Kazuki to turn the Yugioh Manga into an Ad Campaign for Stupid Card Games

[@Whitefox789]

Also to note besides Norman Reedus and Del Toro being involved in this, even Sony took notice of this idea since they said that the PT demo was downloaded over 1 million times.

[@Whitefox789]

Whitefox789 In which to god I hope as hell that Sony picks up Silent Hills they already have shown they can do it with niche IP's like Ryu ga Gotoku 5 (Yakuza 5). I just wish like Harry Mason, James Sutherland, Heather Mason, and Henry Townshend (Yes I consider Silent Hill 4 worthy of having the SH title even though it was placed at the last minute just to sell the game).

As the list of studios closing continues to grow, the shrinking industry will reach critical mass. This new console generation is a failure & the amount of impending lost jobs will be epic.

[@smartguyjaja]

Resvrgam and then indie developers like me will finally have a shot at the big bucks

[@subsaibot4512]

What? oh man I was really getting into that series now. I hope they bring it back.

[@chewynickerson]

couldn't care less about the MGS series (Zzzzz), but the Silent Hill series? man... i want to play another Silent Hill game sometime; one that doesn't blow.... looking at you, everything after SH3....

[@Raaplexis55]

chewynickerson Hey now, Downpour was pretty good. Not as good as 2 but it was a step in the right direction after the abortion Homecoming.

[@chewynickerson]

***** you can't see it, but i'm rolling me eyes... if you say so

[@Darkcomet222]

chewynickerson Downpour wasn't the trainwreck that was Homecoming and it was alright...until the prison. But after that point it got so horrendously bad that I can't even play the game anymore. However I do like Silent Hill 4 a lot, but I think that is bias due to it being my first Silent Hill game and loving the character of Walter.

[@Raaplexis55]

Darkcomet222 I didn't say it was the best thing since sliced bread. I said it was a "step in the right direction".

[@Darkcomet222]

I was agreeing with you to a point. I just felt all the forced combat was a step in the very wrong direction.

[@KyleSupremeo]

the fact that its cancelled (confirmed by Konami) makes me sad, Akira Yamaoka was more than likely going to come back and do the music (at least that what he told me) and PT seemed really good (didn't get to play it sadly)

[@bowlympicshero]

Challenge: Name one Japanese video game company that has been making good decisions lately. Nintendo... nope. Konami... nope. Square-Enix... nope. Capcom... nope. Sega... nope. I think the age of Japanese international video game acclaim is over. Most of my favorite games from the last 5 years have been by 'western' companies and tend to be indie in development. It's sad really, there used to be good games coming from these companies. I think they tend to focus more on local trends and not what the international market wants. (*cough* Nintendo and Square-Enix mobile games *cough*)

[@zempmasterz]

The only japanese game company that I can think of that has at the very least stayed pretty good is Atlus.

[@sir_stride]

Nintendo- mario kart 8, smash bros. 4 Konami-Metal gear phantom pain Square enix-final fantasy 15 Capcom and sega.....yeah i got nothing

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Calvin Shaffer Their big time shift towards mobile games has made me quite sad

[@bendover5289]

Tyler French he's not talking about games

[@bowlympicshero]

Tyler French Nintendo - KZbin content creator program Konami - Scrubbing Kojima from everything Square Enix - Where's my FF VII remake? These companies can still do some good, but overall their decisions have been piss poor. Plus, I personally thought that Smash 4 was a step backwards. It wasn't anywhere near as fun as Brawl in my opinion. The fact that Nintendo is finally using DLC properly isn't enough of a point to redeem them. They were super late to that party.

[@huskiesghost]

This is so heart breaking. Being a huge Silent Hill fan, a good Silent Hill game was finally going to be here since Silent Hill 4. Some original Team Silent members were in Kojima's team. And the fact of who's all involved with the project was jaw dropping...just to be taken away. Downpour was alright...but this one maybe going to be a huge come back. But Konami just wants to keep fucking the series up the ass. Such shame, man.

[@leonardojuan92]

Well... Sucks to be a Silent Hill Fan. :P

[@scottsmith9813]

Pretty much

[@joseagustincuesta]

Leonardo Juan Now you know what it feels (Megaman fan here).

[@leonardojuan92]

José Cuesta Yup. :P

[@Shadowfied]

PT can no longer be found in the Swedish PS Store. If it's still available in your store, grab it. If you have it downloaded it can still be launched.

[@MrMightymario]

someone call Nintendo !! Nintendo loves to bring back dead projects!

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

MrMightymario Someone call Team Silent to take the reigns back

[@joshuanelson6795]

Just when it seemed like the Silent Hill series was finally getting back on track...

[@TheGamerRose]

Not even kidding, I was waiting all day to see this video happen. I was unaware of the context of the Del Toro "It's not going to happen" message, and I wanted to say thank you for clearing that up. I'm crossing every appendage that I can cross that this game doesn't get canceled, honestly. This game was going to be my reason behind saving up for a PS4. But, the fact of the matter is, as you said, Konami is a bunch of damn morons if they let this game go. The casting along was a recipe for cash flow. But anyways, that's enough of my rambling. Another awesome video, despite the content being a total bummer. Keep up the good work!

[@TheBrawlingBadger]

A lot of people seem to think so they did say that silent hill as a franchise isn't over maybe they got a backup plan

[@embracerodusk2537]

Another thing to keep in mind is that Kojima was some kind of advisor on the new Castlevania games also. So really, they've needed him to be their version of Miyamoto and oversee ALL their major games. I'd go so far as to say Kojima was more important to Konami than any one person of ANY other company.

[@LoyalToMyHate8]

Being a Silent Hill fan at the age of 7 (Silent Hill 1) this truly breaks my heart!

[@GuillotineGrimm]

So much respect right now you have no idea

[@spencerrosario-mccabe8185]

This is really upsetting, I played PT the night it came out, got the piss scared out of me, and have since been craving the new silent hills so I really hope they figure something out.

[@Hocklie333]

Amen brother! Just like your Final Fantasy 7 remake video, companies need to just be straight and tell us what's on their menus so we can choose to dine or whine. I hope it's not canceled. P.T. actually made me a little worried to play it because of the twisted mindset they showed and it could scare you. It's been a long time since i played a game that actually made you think twice about your surroundings or just walking into the next room like that demo did. As i'm writing this, PSN says i can no longer play it since it's been taken off the roster of downloads. And it had such huge potential. I will stay tuned for your rants and raves. Keep up the great work. I love these videos. I will continue looking for answers also. Thank you.

[@PikaLink91]

It's so god damn sad. back in the day, all of these big companies had several different interesting IPs under their belt, but because the games have gotten bigger, meaning bigger budgets, meaning we can no longer afford a game to not sell - many companies cling to one IP they know will sell every time, and then just let the rest rot at the Bar of Forgotten Franchises.

[@PlaynReview]

You know what this situation reminds me of? What happened with Star Wars 1313. A really hyped game that had gameplay teasers that were astronomically amazing then what happened? A partnered company cancelled it for no reason at all!

[@TheMysteriousOswald]

Silent Hills may not be cancelled, but the version many people wanted almost certainly is. Del Toro and Kojima were what drove this vision. I'm no Silent Hill fan, but I was REALLY intrigued by P.T,

[@yugitashi]

Capcom, Konami, Nintendo, Square and Enix were what got me heavily invested into the gaming culture in the 90s and they churned out some of the best titles out there. Now fast forward to this decade and its obvious that these companies are but a shell of their former glory. It really says something when the Souls series and Bloodborne make for better survival horrors than the majority of actual survival horrors.

[@good_playlists]

4 words that always come to mind when i watch Alpha's videos are "The Preacher of Gaming"

[@biohazardjackson63]

Things never truly die just the time it takes to resurface is what kills us in the end

[@ObomXD]

This is The Phantom Pain. Every night I can feel my hype, my dreams even my expectations. The games I've lost...the ones that I'll never play...won't stop hurting...it's like they're all still there. You feel it, too, don't you?

[@KogucikOvO]

This is just sad...I can't belived what just happened :(

[@GentlemanBentley]

I haven't felt this disappointed since I played Resident Evil Operation Racoon City.......

[@civilwarfare101]

I was pretty psyched when I heard the announcement. I never thought it could possibly get cancelled.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

***** I didn't either since it's not as though the series has a track record of cancelled games or some shit. Yet one of the most promising entries in years is potentially gonna get shitcanned -_-

[@googlefish80]

This might sound stupid but how about we let them now. Make like a change dot org thing and tell them we want this game to continue. We should let them know that shit canning this game would mean they are killing off a game with tons of potential

[@civilwarfare101]

AlphaOmegaSin Plus, this was the first time in forever that Kojima gets to work on something that isn't MGS and now that's dead in the water.

[@civilwarfare101]

googlefish80 Not sure if petitions are going to work.

[@opwarnet5017]

i personally think there's meaning behind this, im really mad for this canceled ust look at the trailer pt, that is awesome

[@Sora2314]

The only thing that upsets me here is that you didn't use Theme of Laura as the background music. Wtf AlphaOmegaSin!? Jk lol. Good rant as always. Very agreeable points.

[@MrAshbounty]

hey alpha what u are saying gives me goosebumps about how companies are not putting out new stuff and how people want to play other things other than war games. Plus how stale the gaming industry has become in present days. Also companies not taking risks.

[@rentenzen1870]

AlphaOmegaSin I don't have a ps4 but I have playstation plus. If I add PT to my download list online, will I be able to download it after it's taken down, to download after I get my ps4.

[@ozzied-uy6mr]

I read somewhere that Norman Readus said it was offically cancelled.

[@iam16bits]

One thing to remember is the reason why Kojima is leaving. He's not a permanent employee, he's a contracted employee and his contract is due to expire at the end of the year. While we're not sure on the details, for whatever reason Konami had refused to renew his contract and I have a feeling (though I could be wrong) that it's because he wants more money than what the company could afford. We'll probably not know the details until months of years from now.

[@skiso7620]

Damn, Akira Yamaoka in the background just makes this news even more depressing.

[@S1L3NTDr460n]

"In my restless dreams, I see that town, Silent Hill. You promised you'd take me there again someday, but you never did..."

[@TheAnimeMegaFreak]

I suppose r only chance if they will make a rebooted movie of Silent Hill film based on the supposedly Silent Hills game with Norman Reedus and Guillermo Del Toro doing the making. It would be our only chance. But what other horror director should want to direct

[@nightwishfan1991]

It blows my mind that Komani is still in business. Seriously how have the not tanked yet. They haven't had a hit since............ I think the last Metal Gear Game but that is just my guess. Seriously that E3 conference should have been a sign that something was wrong over there.

[@AlluMan96]

Agreed. It's not like Konami couldn't try to find someone else to put on Kojima's spot if they so seriously need that 3rd dude. I mean, if their really afraid of losing the vision of the project, why not try to rope some of the original Team silent players back for this project? I'm sure they'd be able to preserve what the P.T demo promised, if not even create something new and equal to that vision. That might even win back confidence from SH fans back, knowing that the veterans that made this series so spectacular are back in the picture.

[@jeffthedove]

I'm not a fan of Kojima, due to not playing any of his games, but my condolences to the people who were really looking forward to this.

[@silenthillreaper666]

I really hope it isn't cancelled. I stepped away from Silent Hill around the time of Homecoming. I haven't play anything since then but I genuinely thought this would be the one to finally do the series justice. Guess I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best.

[@WoWzerGamer]

I so wanted this game. Now i'm sad. At least I had my shot at playing the PT demo and made a video of it. But still, I wish they didn't cancel it.

[@Beerlover2007]

I seriously hope that the original members of Team Silent get together, start a new team, hire Kojima and creator a new game all together. It really is a damn shame this is being cancelled, Konami has seriously shot themselves in the foot.

[@JstBEasy1312]

I heard about this earlier today on reddit and it saddens me. I felt like if anyone could bring Silent Hill back to prominence it's Kojima.

[@Boomstick88]

I've heard Del Toro was asked at a panel about the future of Silent Hills and he confirmed that it wasn't going anywhere at this point.

[@Boomstick88]

ChromeGhost0219 Scratch that, he definitely said it's not gonna happen

[@EnterTheSoundscape]

I still have PT downloaded luckily.

[@Zoki9555]

i thought of this video thumbnail "silent hills cancelled reaction of random guy in pub"

[@isabellaarroyo4106]

Omfg I hope he sees this because this is so true like I wanted to see this game come out I've been waiting so patiently for this game to come out and then I hear that it's cancelled? This makes me soooo mad xc

[@VegasAceVII]

Took the words right out of my mouth as usual Alpha. I was pumped for this video. The truth hurts, save this game and potentially save yourself Konami!
