i've got to agree with you there.  kz was "viable" but it was never "popular".   killzone wouldn't be a dead franchise if it was popular...

i played uncharted mp with 2, 3, and 4 for at least a bit.  i'm no mp fanatic or anything but i didn't think it was all that special.  


personally, with sony's failures in the online mp space but with their success in cinematic games i really wished they'd push more on the online co-op thing.   build a game (or modes in other games) that is more like a destiny strike or raid then team-death match.   it's got much less competition, better suited to the kinds of games sony makes, and something i personally would rather play than team death match.

I guess viable was the word I was going for. They were nothing like the big games but they had fans and didn't die within a week like everything else.

Problem now is that Sony is at the top of the world. They need a mp game that's dominating, not just surviving.

pretty much every big mp game these days is free-to-play and multiplat.   i just don't think it is something worth chasing for sony.   anything they make that is playstation exclusive is already pretty close to a deathstrok for the game.    they should focus on things they can do to motivate people to be on and play playstations and to that end co-op would be better.   ...or online mp like mario kart where if you had to throw in some bots people wouldn't be completely upset by it.

Dusk reported on Era that a new Silent Hill trailer has been sent around Sony for translation. He doesn't know who the dev is but knows Sony have marketing rights for the game.

Another reputable insider NateDrake backed this up.

KatharsisT added that they know it is Japan Studio making a Silent Hill game that Konami and Sony are partnering on.

Also in the Bluepoint acquisition thread where the insider OP put their account on the line that it will be announced before the end of Feb, reputable insider Okabe posted:

Will be
Okay

Sounds like a state of play soon?

It's strange that Sony is working on so much Konami.  Rumors that there's MGS coming too.

i mean, didn't konami say they no longer have any interest in AAA game development.  it makes sense to allow other's to build stuff with your franchises (or sell them) as a way to monetize the things konami doesn't plan to monetize.     ...it's way epic sold gears of war to MS.

i mean, castlevania and metal gear and contra and (i suppose) silent hill deserves to live on.


also, from sony's perspective at least.  doesn't konami own some important anime franchises like yu-gi-oh.   sony's all about the anime these days..

Yeah they are an insider verified by the Era mod team, I think only verified for connections to Capcom but they've been right on other stuff before.

KatharsisT says Bluepoint will basically become a MGS factory for the next few years pumping out remakes of all the games.

I'm not happy with that.

Hopefully they can work on two things at the same time.
