Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
I'm interested to know whether these were just the guys involved in making the teaser, or whether they are the ones who will be heading the actual game, and if so, who else! Thanks for posting this.

Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
I assume it's for the trailer, but I wouldn't be surprised if most (or all) of them wind up on the final game too. Seems to be a lot of MGS people involved and this IS being done by Kojima Productions, so yeah.
Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
Didn't Masahiro Ito say he was willing to work on Silent Hill again if Kojima was involved?
"Oh yeah, I've been here before
I can see it with eyes closed
Shadows that look like blood
Dead as far as the mind goes
Fear that comes from my head
Lives in the mirror"

Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
I believe he said that on Twitter, yeah. I'd suggest someone ask him if he's involved, but we wouldn't get a straight answer if he was, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.Droo wrote:Didn't Masahiro Ito say he was willing to work on Silent Hill again if Kojima was involved?
Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
He did. And Kojima would be a fool not to enlist him. Although the lack of his name on the credits does question that, but then this was just a (apparently unrelated) teaser. There is still hope yet. Whoever did the music though, if it wasn't Akira, they can stay! I've never seen anyone channel the first two game's soundtrack so perfectly like that.Droo wrote:Didn't Masahiro Ito say he was willing to work on Silent Hill again if Kojima was involved?

Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
Ludvig Forssell, I think. Maybe?

Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
Of course we would possibly get a straight answer if he was NOT involved, therefore a non-answer could be rightfully suggestive of a thing.NanayaShiki wrote:I believe he said that on Twitter, yeah.

Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
I'd still like to see Akira Yamaoka come back, at the very least. His work on the last 3 Silent Hill games was sometimes uninspired, but considering that the games themselves tended to be uninspired, I don't blame him at all. (And his soundtrack for Shattered Memories is actually underrated and is easily the best thing about that game.) It's hard to make a good soundtrack when you're not excited about what you're working about, there's no passion. But I feel like if Akira were asked to come back, this new project is exciting enough that the passion might be rekindled.
And Akira has still been doing good work since then. His work on the Lollipop Chainsaw soundtrack (although not a horror game) is actually pretty fantastic. He's still got the chops.

Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
I don't think there's a Silent Hill soul on this planet who's not praying for Akira to return. What gives me hope is that Kojima is the type of guy who cares about his fanbase. Knowing that, I'm sure he's trying to track him down right now.
Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
Mashiro Ito is freelance now I think. I really hope they manage to get him back if they haven't already.
Akira is also freelance but is working with Grasshopper a lot. Kojima and Suda51 are pretty tight, so no doubt getting ahold or Akira is simple, though that might also depend on whether he's free or Kojima might also try other composers given that a lot of this seems like a big change up.

Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
Getting Masahiro Ito would be huge. New fans would not know him, but he is Silent Hill personified to a lot of older fans
I'd love for Akira to come back, but leave the singer behind this time. Too same-y last couple of his games. And whether they used him or not, his trademark sound was all over P.T. demo
Not gonna lie, that list of talent is nothing short of shocking.

Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
Thanks for the update - that's great...this is all news to me
RIP Silent Hills
Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
For reference: Kojima's tweet from awhile back...
Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
Very interesting. Talent alone has people talking. E Online's FB page about Silent Hill has 7000 comments and its all pretty much positive.
WOW! Konami should have done this years ago

Re: Silent Hills / PT Team
Oh wow! Akira is totally dodging the question. Makes me think he has been approached! And they are keeping it under wraps to announce his involvement.

If he returned that would be great. Fact is dodging a direct answer does make one wonder.....a non answer can be an answerHuknar wrote:Oh wow! Akira is totally dodging the question. Makes me think he has been approached! And they are keeping it under wraps to announce his involvement.
