Cancelled Silent Hill Games
Вставка

- There comes a time when a video game enters the early stages of production. However, sometimes, it changes late during development and completely differs from the original vision. If not changed, then it is scrapped and canceled completely. Many Silent Hill games have been canceled and I wanted to explore them.

For anyone who asks, P.T. will get its own dedicated video for its upcoming 10-year anniversary.
Ayeee
It’s sad how they treat pyramid head like a Silent Hill mascot. It was an iconic character that should’ve been left in SH2. Leave the players wanting more instead of pulling him out like “Hey! Remember when we did this?”
Forget about Silent Hills and the whole Kojima thing.
Silent Hill 5 is the real cancelled project that matters, it was being developed by the same people who made SH4. They had the most unique vision for horror I've ever seen in videogames, they deserved to make another game for the SH series.
A daylight horror themed SH sounds amazing.
Finally someone understands
I'm honestly upset about both cancellations. I would've loved to have seen SH5 developed by the original team especially cause of the pretty interesting idea of daylight horror and Silent Hills looked like a great evolution of the series with a pretty interesting story presented in the demo and then Konami remembered they hated making money the honest way and canned Silent Hills too just to work on mobile games smh 😔
Cancelled games always sadden me.
Let us have a moment of silence for all the games that never were, struck down before they even got a chance
Definitely. There's tons of cancelled games I wish were finished. To me it feels like most of the time cancelled games are more interesting than the ones that get released.
especially when they refuse to leak
That Silent Hill 5 ‘Daylight Horror’ concept is actually really intriguing. It would be cool if some indie dev out there took inspiration from that idea and did something with it!
Wasn’t it done in RE5?
Alan Wake 2
@@GenericHandle666 I’ve never gotten around to playing any of the Alan Wake games. Might have to check them out!
@@CuCuz305 RE5 is barely a horror game. It's wayyy more focused on action, even compared to RE4. It just has gore and stuff like that but you'd struggle to find someone who got scared by it, even in its more stressful moments. :')
@AriaFromMahabre, as a kid i got scared by the Chainsaw guys and the Big Butcher guy near the beginning. It was more of a stressful type of scared, though. The feeling of some creepy guy chasing you. Although those moments were very few and far between
I really wanted to rob a bank in silent hill 5
You can but in downpour
James Car jacks Pyramid head and drives off
Your wanted level gets higher and more monsters just start tailing you
every kid wants every game to be like gta, it's so cringed.
@@greed42o no I don’t, I just think it’s funny
Dude Konami totally fucked this franchise by purposely ignoring the source material.
Pyramid head has been turned into a mockery. He’s not a mascot
Cold Heart sounded like a great game. love the frozen otherworld that Shattered memories ended up using
Silent Hill Cold Heart is a very interesting concept. Even the mechanics is interesting too. Where there's a hunger and cold system for the player to survive, or her cell phone is the equivalent of the radio to detect monsters. Too bad it got canceled, and turned into Shattered Memories, but they kept the physique test.
if they want to make a new horror icon in sh start making Robbie The Rabbit an enemy in a new game that stalks you throughout the game.
It's wild that still to this day, hearing about Konami cancelling Team Silent's Silent Hill 5 and shipping it off to Western devs pisses me off so much lol.
It's their biggest mistake thier loss.
I remember have heard a Silent Hill game being developed on DS but I always thought that was just a fake rumor.
Interesting to know that was actually a pitch idea for a game and that's it.
There is actually a game called Dementium: The Ward which was released on the DS in 2007 which was initially pitched to Konami by Renegade Kid (the developer) to be a Silent Hill title. However, Konami rejected the pitch, so Renegade Kid ended up releasing it as its own thing. For what it is, it’s a fun little game. Definitely limited in terms of environment and gameplay mechanics, but you can definitely see where they took influence from Silent Hill when you play it in terms of atmosphere, story and some of the light-puzzle elements. You can actually pick it up on the Nintendo eStore on Switch if you’re interested. I think it’s worth a play-through for any fan of retro horror video gaming.
I literally just got to the part in the video where they mentioned Dementium: The Ward. Oops! 😅
sad we’ll never get to see what Silent Hill 5 was going to be
If SH5 is the OG SH3, that means in the cycle of remakes, Konami could add this, don't forget Konami need to defeat Hideo Kojima in the game of horror, and SH5 is the best narrative of Owaku. If Konami is smart, they should looking for Owaku to finish that game. If Hideo is gonna make a SH espirtual sucessor, this could be the swan song of Silent Hill. The games of Hideo are impressive. Still we don't know the plan of Silent Hill f, maybe they are testing Ryukishi07 as the new writer of the series. That's another good move of Konami, the creation of a new Team Silent.
@@LosMSR Owaku didn't work on the cancelled SH5, neither Masahiro Ito and Norihito Hatakeda. They were requested to develop a GTA styled game during the production of SH5 and Ito commented he didn't even knew about SH5.
The original script for SH3 (later reused in SH5) was made by Takayoshi Sato, the CGI designer of the first two games.
And SH5 was in developement by the same "B team" who made SH4.
@@quiver5756 isn't Owaku wrote a sequel of SH2, the og SH3, than later was push into SH5?. This happened bc Konami wanted a sequel of SH1.
@@LosMSR No, as I said Owaku had no participation on SH5.
He did wrote the SH3 we know as is today, but the original script for an unrelated entry was made by Sato before he leave Konami after SH2.
@@quiver5756 So how wrote the story about a patient of Brookhaven hospital of SH2?
Disbanding Team Silent was Konami's biggest mistake and cancellation of Silent Hills, another of Konami's biggest mistake in the bloody history, Cancellation of Silent Hills will forever haunt konami.
I finally got around to playing Silent Hill 2 after being interested in it for a while and it was so amazing that I immediately played 1, 3, and 4 right after, and I’m mad that I didn’t play this series sooner. (I did play Shattered Memories as well somewhat recently and enjoyed it quite a bit, though the lack of combat hurts it. I’ll likely end up playing the rest of the main games but i haven’t heard great things about them, I’m not super hopeful about it.) Finally playing it and realizing how much Konami completely mishandled the series pains me so much. I had heard about this stuff before and 5’s concepts, particularly of daylight horror and ‘rotting normality’ sound so fascinating to me, i would’ve loved to play it. Same with Cold Heart’s doubling down on the ‘survival’ in survival horror, as well as Broken Covenant’s priest protagonist, the manifesting past, and the purification rituals reminiscent of 4’s candles for hauntings. And of course there’s PT, Silent Hills. I played a PC remake of it like a few months ago after 1-4 and it’s just… baffling. Konami had a dream team on their hands and they just… threw it away. It’s nice to see them finally pushing for Silent Hill again with these new games, barring the unbelievable abomination that is Ascension. That 2 Remake combat reveal trailer a few months ago didn’t instill confidence in me with some of the apparent stiffness and that qte attack, but the recent trailers actually have me cautiously excited now, I’m genuinely looking forward to it now. We still know nothing really about f but supposedly the writer is acclaimed so I’m excited for that as well, a Silent Hill game set in Japan has me curious. Townfall seems real interesting as well, though we still don’t know shit about it. If these new games do well I hope they bring back the concepts for 5, but at the same time it’s like, without the original devs, it wouldn’t even be the same, would it? i hope they bring back the original devs, if that’s even possible, or if not I really wish it was possible. It all really saddens me because i haven’t been able to find much of anything quite like Silent Hill, not much has an atmosphere like it. I finished a game called Lost in Vivo recently and have been playing Signalis some, and these do kinda scratch that itch. I also watched Jacob’s Ladder since it was an inspiration for the games and I loved it, it was also fun noticing the Silent Hill influences; Jacob and James have the same initials and outfit, that whole hospital scene especially the (legless?) guy at the end of that scene, everything about guy said Silent Hill; the metal frame reminded me of Flesh Lips and Maria, and the covered head and blurry, jittering head reminded me a lot of the enemies.
Holy shit i just scrolled through the text and that is LONG damn, sorry for the rant, i got into the series recently and i found it all fascinating, just needed to put it all out there somewhere i guess 😭
Some of the later ones are good if you can accept that they're being approached with a different vision than the OG series. Origins nails the atmosphere, it feels the most like classic SH out of all the western entries, and Travis fits right in with Heather, Henry, James and Harry as a classically styled SH protagonist. but its a bit of a slog to get through after the Sanitorium. Homecoming has really great monster design/music, but the combat is really boring (especially for the most combat heavy game in the series) and the story is not good, imho. Downpour is, in my opinion, the best game of the wester developed ones---it feels like they really wanted to make a David Lynch movie but couldnt quite get there. I think the presentation is great, the story takes some BROAD swings at characterizing the world and setting of SH to a degree, and the town exploration is the best its been in the series since SH3.It's marred by some awful voice acting and a rushed story, and admittedly some of the controls should have been reworked. Book Of Memories is weird, not worth playing unless you REALLY wanna play it lol.
Also, if you want a great SH-style game, I would 100% recommend Lone Survivor: The Directors cut. Its the best Silent Hill sendup game imho, you can tell the developer took a lot of queues from the SH series.
@@evanmichaelpearce1367 i did actually play just a tiny bit of Origins recently and from what I could tell it seemed like they nailed the atmosphere, i’ll have to really get into it soon though. I actually watched a video about Homecoming some time ago so I somewhat know the gist of the story but I’ll still play it at some point. Downpour though, I don’t have a PS3 and I’m not sure how good your pc needs to be for RPCS3, i recently got a new laptop to replace my older one but I’ll have to see what the needed specs are.
As for that Lone Survivor game, I wasn’t expecting to be a 2d pixel game but it looks cool as hell actually, however the description recommends a newer ‘Super Lone Survivor’ version, have you played it or is there something you don’t like about it?
It's a blessing and a curse that they were cancelled. Some of them could have been the best Silent Hill yet, and others could have been the worst. I've been wanting a Silent Hill game that takes place between Silent Hill 1 and 3, one that shows the town recovering after the incident that took place during Silent Hill 1, and the return of the cult. It would also be cool to see Heather as a child, and her resemblance to Alessa from the first Silent Hill.
you do see heather as a child, in the entirety of silent hill 3
@@oatmeal710 I suppose so. A teenager, but still.
I remember seeing the pitch document for Silent Hill Cold Heart sometime ago and I really think we should've gotten that instead of Shattered Memories, especially it trying to be this survival horror thing on the Wii, which the Wii had little of.
4:25 This was crazy to hear. I’m from El Paso, TX and used to travel to Arizona for work.
that’s spooky asf 😭😭
I think it immediately starts to go off the rails when they open the world up and involve too many characters. Silent Hill is at its best when it's a lonely personal experience.
I want to come up with a fanmade silent hill 5. Trying to keep it as close to Team Silents vision, aesthetic and storytelling as possible
My advice: *don't call it Silent Hill* or Konami may fight you.
Rather, make a *brand new title and characters* . So many Resident Evil clones became good games in their own right, yours may be too. 😊
I have a concept of psychological horror game too, but *I will not relate it to any current property* , I can't afford lawyers like Konami , Capcom or EA can. 😅
A part would like to see SH the box, broken covenant and cold heart become a reality. But for now I guess the new games were getting will have to do
A lot of these pitchers don•t seem to understand what Silent Hill actually is .
wish we got those...
Man, the games we didn't have, it's always sad to know about that, the good thing in my opinion, is that we now have a ton of indie horror games!
Some of these idea should get greenlight now.
What a shame SH5 was cancelled. We could've had another amazing experience but we never did.
This is the best silent hill video I’ve seen in years videos like this keep me engaged in the silent hill lore while I’m waiting for SH2 Remake 🔥🔥
I wish they never cancelled the P.T. Silent hills game! It was graphically impressive even to this day, it had modern day graphics, horror, and everything.
These games give an uncanny and disturbing vibe.... their existence feels wrong in a cool scary way
I only do this because I like your channel and maybe it might help you. You should watch a little the pronounciation of names. It's neither Masashi Sumboyama nor Akira Yamayoka but Masashi Tsu-Bo-Yama and Akira Ya-Ma-Oka. It sounds like you either pronounce them wrong or mumble them. Maybe it's different when you speak the language that you get a little sensitive when you hear something like that. It's not a complaint but maybe an advice for your upcoming videos, to work a little on pronounciations of japanese names since the roots of Silent Hill are, at the very end of the day, japanese.
Thank you for the constructive criticism regarding my pronounciation and speech delivery, appreciate it.
While scrollimg past this i thought i saw silent hill 2 cancelled amd i about had a heart attack
coldheart sounds like it would have been a great game. bummed it was never made. thank you for posting this video.
4:25 This was nuts. I’m from El Paso, TX and used to travel to Arizona for work.
i need to live in the reality where silent hill v exists
i got so excited when the first trailer revealed the title of silent hill v before they changed it to homecoming instead
SH5 is probably the worst cancellation, next to Silent Hills.
These were two of the biggest fumbles by Konami. I'm still annoyed by Konami by canning two of the potential the best horror games that could've been 😔
I mourn the loss of Team Silent nearly every day, specially when I see what westerners have done to the series now.
The video starts in under a minute. You've earned a sub
Hardest working Silent Hill content creator out there rn. Bro is putting out SH videos DAILY
Much like the inappropriate reuse of Pyramid Head, the Nurses have been used too many times.
Even though the series became famous for the Nurses, they've become a meme.
Great video ! Never knew about these, been loving all your content lately 🙌
A silent hill on the DS wouldve been so neat. Wouldve loved to see what they couldve done with touchscreen based puzzles
I would have liked to see what broken covenant was about 😮 (ps. What happened with today's livestream?)
I still feel like some of these games were interesting and I wish that we got to see more
10:08 Mordecai in Silent Hill?!?!? WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Mordecai: Hmm! Hmm! Ain't no monster can scare me, bruh!
Great work man, loved the insight and info into these games that would never be.
Thank you! Always a pleasure to make videos like these
oh my god I am early, like holy shit.
I hope they do kill Pyramid Head using my boy Valtiel
These sound interesting but in all likelihood, if you consider every SH game after 3 has had receptions ranging from underwhelming to negative, these games would almost certainly get a negative reception too. People say they want this and that, but they always end up disappointed, especially SH fans.
What about that game boy one like.. all I remember is it has a little boy in it.
just wanted to say. i love you, thank you for making the content that you do ❤
Thank you, your comment made my day ❤
I feel Dementium the ward 😮 plays better than most games past S.H. 3.
Why is Silent Hills aka PT from Hideo Kojima nowhere in the video?
A GTA-style Silent Hill. I can't decide if that is the worst idea of all time, or the best.
Bro so you're telling me that these interesting cool sounding games were scoffed at but they approved things like Homecoming? Downpour?! Book of Memories?!?! Like... that's small brain stuff
Thank you - Faye ⚓
Dementium is a good game I had a fun time playing it on the 3DS.
Prob every game from here is better than homecoming
Pinche Konami
We should've gotten Silent Hill Scrubs, that would've put the series on a better trajectory. At least it's fun and original and not just SH2 but bad.
An open world Silent Hill game similar to GTA? Good god.
"Early beginning" is redundant.
Everything this dude says sounds so fucking weird. Am I alone in thinking that? It's like he's a middle schooler trying to reach a character limit for an essay or something, it's so bizarre
Is this a reupload I swear I’ve seen this before
Damn i wanted to see silent hill 5 but oh well sounds like ot was going to take place in a different part of the world
Man a silent hill game where you okay as a swat member on the ds. That shit woulda been crazy lmao
I am a member or smth 😎😱
Dudes make SH4, a totally different game from the originals.. Then it does bad and they start discontinuing the series (😂) INSTEAD OF GOING BACK TO ROOTS! Can't gaming developers see this? If they want games to sell, why they don't LISTEN to players and MAKE what WE WANT to play? This is just non sense. It's like a bunch of people wanting to eat pizza and they give you hamburgers just because they want. Seriously.. Why?
Ito's angry posts about PH are pretty hilarious, ngl
First
Canceled games are better. They can not be destoryed by a politically motivated developer who wants to turn a great idea into a mainstream soap box.
Most of these would've been great games as standalone games that have nothing to do with silent hill.
