Vatra Games Cryptically Comments on Silent Hill FPS Rumor
Konami’s Silent Hill unleashed a new kind of fear on the PSOne back in 1999, and has being freaking out fans since. With the spine-tingling music plus the disturbing storylines and scenery, it’s no wonder that it is a fan-favorite series. Konami recently revealed to the gaming world that a new Silent Hill is in production, with little-known developer Vatra Games at the helm. Rumors have spread since then that the new SH game will be a first-person shooter, and when asked, Vatra Games gave a cryptic tease of an answer.
The Horror fanatics over at Rely On Horror wanted some answers — so they simply emailed Vatra Games and here’s the answer they received:
We can’t speak to any rumors at the moment, but will definitely have more information for you at E3 — stay tuned!
Hmm, oddly enough, they didn’t confirm or deny it. Seems like someone has been chatting with Bioware and the Splinter Cell: Conviction team a bit too much.
Yes, we here at PlayStation LifeStyle know that FPS games are ‘all the rage’ among the cool kids nowadays, but turning Silent Hill into one could alienate the hardcore fan base. Then again, since so many people play only FPS, this could bring in a whole new crowd of fans. Note to Konami: Silent Hill: Homecoming wasn’t that well received by fans or the press. Do us fans a favor and try not to ruin the series further. Please?
PlayStation LifeStyle will be at E3 2010 and you better believe that we’ll be there reporting all the latest Silent Hill news to you fans out there.

Very BAD idea if true, survival horror is dying as it is without Silent Hill being turned into a FPS.
I doubt there will be a S in their FPS. Silent Hill is survival horror, they wont go full FEAR on it. I think it will be like the first Condemned.
The original silent hill team needs to work on these games…. ><
if anything the market has too many first person games and not enough third person games any more.
its VERY-VERY BAD IDEA!! Silent Hull must HAVE Silent Hill like SH 1-2-3 and 4!!!!!!!! Konami lost SH when give another company!! WHERE SILENT HILL TEAM, WHERE AKIRA YAMAOKA, WHERE ALL THIS!????????????/
плохая идея делать СХ в стиле ФПС, кому это надо, что мало ФПСов!??? верните старую команду СХ и все будет в порядке!!! Конами отдала лучший свой франчайз не понятно кому!?!?! надеюсь – это не ПРАВДА!!! (((((((((
FPS sale well but I’m gettin burnt out on them in general. I got enough of them in my collection, it’s to the point where if I see another one I just yawn. The only reason I’ll even think about buying one is if a friend of mine is playing online and can talk me into pick it up. And he better be a pretty good salesman. R1, R2, KZ2, UC2, MAG and MW2 in your opinion do I really need another one? I think not, Oh yeah, I forgot Gears2. Tading in games is the silliest idea ever cause I’m just losing money in my opinion. Yeah, I know buying a Xbox is the biggest gamble a person can make but I hoping for something special, HOPING.
Konami just can’t stop ruining their games ..

Gears of War is not a FPS is a Third Person Shooter and crappy at that too.
I own every game in your list LoL even the crappy Gears of War trash. Silent Hill as a FPS i will buy.
Silent Hill FPS, God of war FPS. I HATE FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS! I like the odd one every now and then but please leave it to the professionals like Bungie and if your a PS3 fanboy and don’t like Halo Reach by now then you must be dead inside because this is so awesome even fanboys must admit it’s looking great.
So I don’t hate first person shooters, there’s just way too many on the market and when that happens people can’t buy every single one except if your a retard who decides he would rather buy every single game of a set genre rather then go the cooler option and pick one from each so he can experiance a defined experiance.
so isn’t a survival horror title about limited resources and choosing how to defeat a enemy either empty handed or with a weapon. I’m just wondering if it turns into a FPS than what’s so survival horror about it. unless u think Nazi Zombies is survival or horror then this move would make an entirely different game.
Why is everyone saying Homecoming was a bad game? It wasn’t, it was quite enjoyable if anything. Too many people are being fickle and complaining because Team Silent didn’t develop it and an American company did. Nobody complained when Climax made Origins for the PSP. It was a good game from a small British studio (not for from myself) and they did okay with the Shattered Memories, it wasn’t amazing but it wasn’t bad.
If anything turning the series into a FPS would be the worst thing they could do. I personally think that Silent Hill needs to come back to its original creators. I mean I had an idea for a Silent Hill title myself lol.
I agree with you Wraith that Homecoming was enjoyable. I’m not sure how I’d feel about Silent Hill being turned into an FPS. I love FEAR, and I love Condemned, but they’re both not really survival horror. I really liked the game play in Homecoming, and I’ve enjoyed most of the other Silent Hill games, as well.
We’ll see. Either way, I’ll most likely end up with it.
no silent hill shouldnt be an fps it will take away from the detail factor and ill just be running through blowing shyt away rather then focusing on the environment around me and whats going on…. also… 4 whoever said they have mw2 in there fps collection and not bfbc2/// slap urself….2 times!
