RUMOR: Konami may be back to working on the original Silent Hill 5 concept which had been cancelled several times in the last 20 years, hence not commissioning Born From a Wish for SH2🚀 Here’s everything we know about SH5: ✅Extends from the Silent Hill 2 lore ✅Starring an emotionally distributed man, one of the patients of the hospital James Sunderland went to in SH2, who’s called to the town of Silent Hill ✅Starts out in a “normal” version of the town, where people go on about their daily lives ✅Things would gradually “rot away” ✅Emphasizes on “daylight horror” akin to Texas Chainsaw Massacre with horror happening in broad daylight ✅There’s also a “Dark World” described as a “very impressive” dark world ✅Monsters react differently based in darkness and light ✅Combat would’ve had a less important role than SH4 ✅The game also involves scenes with therapists, beside the town gameplay moments ✅It is the darkest and most horrifying story written for Silent Hill to date, and would’ve likely been censored to pass ratings ✅Intended to launch on the then-not yet released PlayStation 3 generation ✅It was originally what Silent Hill 3 was meant to be ✅An original script by Takayoshi Sato, according to Akira Yamaoka ✅It was put aside when due to the slow yet steady sales of SH2, so Konami wanted a “rail shooter”. Team Silent were against it, and fans demanded closure for the Silent Hill 1 plot line, and so SH3 settled to be Heather’s story, a sequel to SH1 ✅Went back in development by Team Silent around the year 2005 ✅The project was sadly not finished, Team Silent disbanded and Konami preferred to have western devs handle the franchise This would be a dream come true for me🥹 Source: @Rashmunchel
