Current Events > guy who leaked GoW: Ragnarok says MGS remake & Silent Hills in the works

(+) Yeah! (+)

take it with a grain of salt since these are rumors that have been around long before the PS5 came out, but I might have to cop one this upcoming year if at least one of these ends up being true

A credited leaker has teased that Hideo Kojima's Silent Hills may be back on track as a PlayStation 5 exclusive helmed by its original creative team.

A so-far reliable leaker of PlayStation 5 like God of War: Ragnorok games has struck again, hinting that Silent Hills may be on its way after all in some form. The horror game was originally set to be a project by famed Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima in conjunction with filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and star actor Norman Reedus. This was confirmed thanks to the PS4's P.T., a playable teaser of the game that was released during E3 2014 to critical acclaim and high player expectations. The project was thought to have fallen apart after Kojima's high-profile departure from Konami (leading to his independent formation of Kojima Studios and Death Stranding), but it seems that the company is finally moving forward with multiple blockbusters based on his work.

The same man who knew about God of War: Ragnorok before its reveal has also promised that a Metal Gear Solid remake is coming, allegedly coming from Demon's Souls' Bluepoint Games. After Konami's pitiful attempt to create its own entry in the Metal Gear franchise with the much-maligned Metal Gear Survive was thoroughly rejected by critics and audiences, a third-party remake of the game that put the series on the map seems like a logical way to move forward.

The second game leaked out by YouTuber Moores Law is Dead during a recent podcast is Silent Hills, a game that he alleges is "almost entirely confirmed." He claims that Konami and Hideo Kojima were able to come to an agreement that would allow the game maker to continue the work he started before leaving the publisher. That would be a huge and completely unprecedented move, as Konami famously booted Kojima from the company in a distasteful fashion, and Kojima has since denied any involvement in the Metal Gear and Silent Hill franchises.

There's one further detail about the game that could let players know when they'll be seeing more. As some might expect given the history between Hideo Kojima and Geoff Keighley, the announcement of Silent Hills could be one of the big reveals of this year's Game Awards. Keighley was outspoken about Konami's treatment of Kojima, using his Game Awards platform to condemn the publisher. Therefore, it could be a big PR move to have Konami make a splash on that very stage while working with the developer they previously publicly mistreated.

During the conversation, Moore's Law is Dead drops another PlayStation tidbit that is quite interesting. Sony has apparently been saving gameplay reveals and other announcements, both because their entire supply of PS5s is selling out instantly and because they lack competition in the exclusives front. For now, that is probably the correct position, as Xbox's exclusive lineup is still mostly under wraps and in development at their new studios. At the same time, it's another indicator of Sony's arrogance in this generation, and it might cost them in the future. Sony is still treating this upcoming period as a battle between consoles, but exclusive games will matter slightly less in a battle of online platforms.

I have zero interest in a silent hills that isn't headed by kojima and del toro. Doubly so after Metal Gear survive.

The juxtaposition between gamers and Marvel fanboys is so interesting.

Anytime a leak about Marvel comes out (even if it turns out to be true) that fanbase immediately counts it as fake and refuses to entertain the idea. Unless it comes directly from Feige's lips, they bash the fuck out of people for even entertaining the leaks.

Why are games different?

conpletely overwrote the original creators vision, changed almost every design in the game for the worse, completely missed the tone and disrespected the source material in the name of making a tech demo

Shut the fuck up.

Yet it seats at a 92 score on meta critic. Your expectancy aside, they are very effective game developers.

I don't want a MGS remake. Do a fucking remake of the Metal Gears 1 and 2.

Holy shit is he having a melty about Demon's Souls? Game is fantastic. What a weird hill.

We got a MGS remake like two console generations ago

it sure is fantastic. Shame about the remake

I can't agree or disagree with you on Demon's Souls remake since I haven't played it yet but I do find it interesting that not one single individual as refuted your argument in this topic. If what you have said was nonsense, surely it would be easy to debunk. Considering what I saw of how Bluepoint butchered Maiden Astraea and Garl Vinland, I'm honestly willing to believe you.

I never played the original Demon's Souls but the remake is cool for a newcomer to the game. That being said, I'm guessing Demon's Souls remake is to the original what Twin Snakes is to MGS1 for some. As in, a remake with some QOL improvements but overall bad interpretation of the source in a lot of ways.

Nobody ever will. His points are fair and completely accurate. It's just that the vast majority of people who play the souls series do for the gameplay and not for the deep hidden lore. At most the changes might get a Vaati, Ashen Hollow, etc video detailing the implications of the changes to the history of each area, but that's about it.

It's not that he's wrong. It's just that most people don't care that he's right because they don't actually care about the part of the game that was mangled, doubly so when it's absolutely gorgeous.

What'd they do to Demons Souls D:

It has women and people of color in the cutscenes. The horror. </s>

I enjoyed it but in my opinion we need another. Just because it's a classic and because Konami killed MGS.

This would be a great way to jump back in. And it wouldn't be some crap like Metal Gear Survive. Continuing MGS without Kojima is just a bad idea... As much as I'd give a new one a chance, it's a scary thought. Not because no one else can do it but because dumbass Konami is in charge.
