Was Silent Hill ever that popular in Japan anyway?

This song needs more love.

It might have been, but it's popularity faded enough for Konami to shill it off to American developers for a while. Silent Hill Homecoming never even had a Japanese release.

Of course when it finally returned to its homeland, Konami decided to Yank the Dog's Chain by cancelling Silent Hills.

Based on the symbolism shown, Death Stranding is going to be some real philosophical (probably even cosmological) shit.

That would fit Kojima's M.O. He's much more philosophical than psychological. His games like to make you think about the nature of reality, the world, and our place in it.

His dialogue is kinda shit, though.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

He's a fan of 80's. He's a fan of 80's cheesy B-Movie.

Well apparently, Konami's not totally out of the AAA game development arena yet... they might have something to show with PES 2017, (AKA Pro Evolution Soccer) according to their UK Public Relations firm. And they do realize that the Fox Engine has value, and plan to use it in a future project.

Keep in mind though that Konami's notorious for sending out mixed signals to even their own internal departments. It's wholly possible this guy could've been talking out of his ass in order to try and give his client a positive PR spin.

Didn't their soccer games turn out to be heavily bullshotted?

Please for the love of God let them finish developing Silent Hills. It might end up being one of the best horror games in history. It's got Guillermo Del Toro and Junji Ito in it. I want to see that, so badly.

It's already canceled. Like definitively.

But for $20 I'll let you come over to my house and play P.T.

Oh really when?

No, thank you; I'm never setting foot in the Deep South. Place is unhealthy for brown people. It's the bog fumes, I'm sure.

I wonder if he cries himself to sleep after having to say stuff like that out of his butt...

It's Hideo Kojima and Kenji Yano talking about Kojima's presentation at E3. They also give their personal reactions to not only fan reactions live at the event and on Youtube, but also comment on fanart and memes they like including the Beer Stranding parody posted earlier in the thread.

Only Kojima would make something like this to show off a logo.

It really is like some sort of film studio intro.

Indeed, it's probably the most lavish game logo clip I've seen in my life.

I hope the game proper has more Reedus butt.

Don't you worry, something tells me we'll be seeing much more of Norman Reed-ass.

So, who else do you think could be cast in this game?

Maybe Troycelot Baker? Maybe my gal pal Stefanie Joosten? Could Kiefer come back after keeping us waiting?

I don't think David Hayter would ever work on a Koji project again.

There should be a Turtle mutated by oil voiced by Cam Clarke.

Troy Baker is usually a safe bet, at least. It's getting to the point where I'm almost surprised to hear about a video game that doesn't have Troy Baker in it.

Robin Atkin Downes is a sure bet. He was doing random soldier voices in some of the previous games before becoming Kaz.
