Is that whatshisface, from Boondock Saints?

>>189277
Yeah, Norman Reedus. He's also one of the only good parts of The Walking Dead.

>>189278

>Daryl
>not the only good thing about Walking Dead past Season One

But yeah, cool to hear about Silent Hills. Should be interesting to see what Del Toro does for the franchise.

>Kojima and Del Toro told to expect fan hatred by Konami

>Reaction to the news positive and basically "Please let this turn things around."

>>189285

Proof that some major game companies no longer know what the fuck gamers want. (See also: Capcom and Nintendo.)

>>189286
>Nintendo
???

>>189285
Maybe from the Japanese sure, but more and more game companies are realizing that Japan doesn't make up 95% of the market.

That whole P.T. teaser thing was pretty ingenious. Maximum "gameplay" out of minimum assets by just reusing the same corridor over and over agin.

Is that the player or a monster we're seeing in the mirror?

>>189310
yes it starts roaming out in the Hallway at one point. I really want to see more people play this bit.

>>189309
That thing in the sink looks like the baby from Eraserhead.

>>189310
Both. Somehow the webm doesn't expand in this layout. If you open it in a seperate tab, it's easier to make stuff out.

>>189312
Pretty much is cept not being a bandage body

If she shows up in the hallway, what happens if you go near her?

>>189339
She just passes through you

>Purposefully mispronouncing Guillermo Del Toro as Mexican foods.

Nope, hope you liked throwing every shred of credibility you had out the window.

>>189341
Yup.

>>189341
The have some valid points though.

>>189344
The bit where they whined a ton about a game they hardly know anything about?

>>189344

Which point? That PT was a series of jump scares, even though there was all of one (maybe two depending on how you define it) jump scare in the entire thing? That the Silent Hill brand of horror is nothing but OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD WHAT IS THAT THING even though that's only part of the Silent Hill tradition, much of the rest being made up of creeping unease and disorientation, which definitely fits with PT? Or perhaps the part where they claimed there was no room for fourth-wall breaking in Silent Hill without saying a single thing to support that outrageous statement.

>>189344
Just because they got it right with their other SH videos, it doesn't mean they're right about this one.

There's just so many little details I love. Like the moving bloody bag in the starting room, the tallies on the wall, the mirror, the radio saying "hanged himself with a rope he found in the garage" with a demonic faint version under it saying "with an umbilical cord" instead.

If the final game is even half as scary as this, the survival horror genre is back.

>>189353
Strange some stuff seems to be random, Getting mugged by the Spirit, Talking Bag were in the Giant Bomb one but I think a Grump Play had a Window fall and shatter I didn't see in the other.

>>189353
The freaking eye in the peephole when you first see it, the Gouge It Out, the fact that it's not explicitly stated what he did to Lisa first in the "call to action".

Even the implication that the baby was the woman's boss'.

There was a two headed cockroach ffs.

That speech at the end got me thinking. Do you think Kojima is going to throw all of the non-Konami Silent Hill games under the bus and call them non canon or do you think he might embrace it or at the very least acknowledge it?

>>189360
Under the bus where they belong.

>>189276
Konami's turning out to be Kojima central.

...Yes, I would in fact love a Kojima-produced PES.

>>189367
They don't have much else at this point. Their attempt to revitalize Castlevania into a generic Western franchise flopped and despite how much it hurts to admit it, a new Suikoden would sell 12 copies at best.

>>189362
I don't know. I feel like they should embrace them like I know we fucked up super hard with these games but we still acknowledge them and they did happen.

>>189374
It was kinda noble though, they were just trying to get Castlevania back on console and kudos to them for making an actually unique combat system even if it took till the second game and was still janky.

Plus at least they had the good sense to only make it a three game deal.

Interesting.

>>189380
Good ol Memo'll finally have his Cuthulu, huh?

i made a big ol list of everything that happens in p.t. if you 1. dont own a ps4 2. dont want to wade through scarecam youtube vids just to know whats up 3. want to know what to look for

>>189386
Wwwwwow this is cool
Do you do horror game stuff usually?

>>189387

YES!! i havent been talking about them recently because everything has been...really bad. we havent had a good horror game in a loooonnnggg time. i love the silent hill series a lot+was bummed out when it shit the bed from sh:homecoming onward.
this already looks like a REALLY good move back in a direction where the game is actually terrifying while still staying innovative and casting aside the "rules" of silent hill which became tedious and predictable after a while.
even though p.t. is just a very well crafted teaser that has 0 relation to the actual game, the mood they evoked was incredibly effective and gives me a lot of hope

>>189388
And Guillermo Del Toro's involvement just

It's
Pure fuckin hype loved all his movies

Also, looking through your Tumblr, you're the one who makes Ghost Story right?
Aa been meaning to check that out, I even have it bookmarked.
How's that going?

>>189389

at the same time del toro and reedus were popping up in kojimas twitter feed last year, kojima spent some time with longtime friend junji ito. if junji ito has any involvement in this game i will hoot and holler until my lungs pops

also comic is doing very good!! its just about to hit a small haitus because im moving out of state and need to get settled but otherwise its been goin on for over a year and updating twice a week instead of once.
(thank you for caring about my comic)

>>189390
(yw! I still have to check it out though. I feel guilty about never catching up with my webcomics. [im sorry paranatural]. But hey s cool you're doing ok!)

>>189390
Where you heading?

All this reminds me of is just how damn amazing the FOX Engine looks. Wonder just how many other games are going to take advantage of it.

>>189408
Think PC can handle it, how flexible is it. Would like Devs to have access to something other than Pop Texture Engine

I doubt Del Toro himself would be bothered by that joke, the guy is chill like that.

>>189367
Still a bit salty about him and in Lords of Shadow, whatever he contributed to it. Come on you're famous for filling your games up with homosex and fabulous, and you had a freaking stone mask in a series all about fighting vampires. Not Jojo-ing the fuck out of it was a lost opportunity.

>>189568
once is fine like Del Taco to be cheeky but then to keep doing it over and over, seems a bit mean spirited.

Also Jesse Cox and friends playing through PT has been the most enjoyable version of it for me. Mainly because they finished and explained how you got the ending.

>>189613
He was just an advisor and told them to make it Castlevania instead of an original IP I think. No control over that.

So, anyone actually has any real proof that it's not going to be a reboot? I mean, I loved every thing about the teaser, and I would love to play a game like that (in 3rd person), but if they are planning to fit into the canon of the first 4, they have a 50% chance of failing, great gameplay notwithstanding.

>>189835
It's pretty obvious how 1 and 3 tie in together, but otherwise there's not a ton of canon you actually NEED to adhere to.

>>189836
Is 4 even regarded as canon anyway? IIRC it wasn't even going to be a Silent Hill game, and most people think it's not as good as the first three even if it's still better than all the later ones.

Is it true they are teasing the return of Silent Hill?

>>418295
Unless it's a reboot, it does not matter. Better be a reboot.

>>418297
Why do you say that?

>>421760
Existence of remake is now confirmed beyond any sort of doubt.

>>424021
boggles my mind why someone would waste so much effort on those assets to make something so crap.

>>424023
The internet has alot of people on it, with alot of time on their hands.

Since the trailer video got taken down here's one of some leaked gameplay footage.
