As you’re no doubt aware, the much hyped Silent Hills has supposedly been cancelled, prompting horror-game fans everywhere to become extremely annoyed. Konami has since issued a response to these claims, and it seems that the project may not be cancelled; just majorly changed.

The publisher has gone on record saying that “our contract period with Norman Reedus has expired.” Norman Reedus being the actor that was slated to star in Silent Hills, and who also claimed via Twitter that the game was indeed cancelled.

Konami didn’t discuss the title specifically, only stating that “We will continue to develop the Silent Hill series.” Whether this is a confirmation that the series will continue or just a means of keeping fans quiet is unknown.

Given the recent drama surrounding Hideo Kojima’s departure from the company, Konami is beginning to garner some bad publicity. Kojima was also supposed to be the director for Silent Hills and Kojima Productions was going to develop it, but with Kojima now slated to leave Konami after Metal Gear Solid 5 is finished, it’s not known if he will be involved with the project if it does continue.

Silent Hills P.T.

The playable teaser, P.T, that was a tech demo/interactive advertisement for Silent Hills, was discovered to be removed from the PlayStation Store this Wednesday and even Guillermo del Toro, who was going to co-direct the game, has been reported of saying his collaboration with Konami “is not gonna happen.”

It doesn’t look like Konami is going to be able to alleviate fans’ worries with just promises. There needs to be an official statement on whether Silent Hills will be completed or not. As of now, Konami is in a lot of fans’ bad books. Between this and Kojima’s departure, they’ve been thrown into the spotlight… and not in a good way.

Update: Hope is lost. There will be no Silent Hills after Konami officially confirmed it was canceled a few minutes ago. The pain.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
