The rumor is obviously untrue, but I'll still pray to sweet baby Jesus that it's true... I'm just imagining the weeping and gnashing of teeth and the mass boycotting of Kojima and MGSV if this is announced at E3.  A true megaton we haven't seen this side of FFXIII-360.

Didn't some Konami person also let slip that the game didn't even exists, i.e. PT was all they had produced thus far.

Technically Microsoft just needs to pay Kojima, Walking Dead dude, and Del Toro, right? The IP itself would be a bonus and not much else. Shit, they could pay all previous Silent Hill staff and the other brehs I listed to make a "new" IP that would be what Silent Hills was going to be. Or something new altogether.

I wonder if Norman Reedus is under NDA... if yes, it kind of lends credibility to the Silent Hills rumor.

They don't need Reedus, and even if they do Del Toro can probably talk with Reedus. Reedus isn't as much a "mega star" as people make him out to be. Sure, the Walking Dead has made him popular. But that popularity doesn't mean a salary increase unless he specifically asks for it. And to me knowledge, he isn't the type of person to be an asshole in that way.

[octopushover]

it makes sense. at more than a billion dollars for the franchise, they'd only have to sell a million copies and then sell each of those users another thirty DLC packs, charge a monthly fee to play the game, include weekly roster updates for another ten bucks a pop and then release an inevitable remastered ultra-HD edition

so basically run of the mill xbox exclusivity

I know people have talked about how it would be too expensive, not realistic, blah blah, but I don't believe those arguments. What do you mean it would be too expensive? Frigging BINGIE had half a Billion bucks to spend on a generic, half baked FPS which was even a new IP.

The lights fade Down. We hear the chirp of a chocoBo. The main theme begins to swell. The crowd realizes what is happening, and theit breath is taken away. Cloud jump out from the train at the Mako Reactor and says in Japanese "Lets go back."

So I live in a split level duplex sharing a back porch with a neighbor.  I own a Big Green Egg (http://www.biggreenegg.com/), which was a wedding present from my in laws.  Since my wife and I have crazy schedules, it doesn't get as much use as I would like

I had new neighbors move in a couple of months ago and my wife and I were invited to a BBQ by said neighbor.  They don't have a grill, so we were wondering what they were going use.  They never asked us to use it, and we would have glady let them had they asked.

It turns out, they've already used it and are planning on using it today.  Since they don't own it, it comes as a surprise to me that they would use it without my permission.  To make things worse, they used charcoal briquettes and lighter fluid on the egg (which the manufacturer strongly cautions against (http://www.biggreenegg.com/support/faq-and-looking-for-pricing/)) which seeps into the porous ceramic and discolors/leaves a funky aftertaste on the egg,

What should I do?  How should I confront them?  I'm really ticked off that they wouldn't even ask to use it, then not even read up on using it properly.

Do you see how absurd this is? You are concerned about your grill yet claim you can't do anything because of their BBQ.

It is your grill! Why can't you just tell them "I am sorry you can't use it for your BBQ, you used it improperly in the past and I want to make sure if anything needs replacing before it is used again"

Why are you even letting them use it still when they claimed doing it correctly is "too complicated" anyway?





This. Man up OP.

Ever heard of being neighborly?  It's already been planned and I'll look/feel like a complete jerk if I told them they couldn't use it.

... But colleges only have a finite amount of time for events and events take a good bit of manhours to set up (coming from someone that sets up talks and other events). Talks aren't a costless thing. If you go to a college, asking for a platform to speak on how Big Pharma invented Ben Franklin, there's no reason for that university to waste their time on that. Unless you think that a talk is worthwhile for your students, you shouldn't spend your resources on it. Therefore, all talks scheduled by a university are considered worthwhile by that university in some way.

The rest of that sentence is quite frankly offensive however.

For people with the argument that it would cost too much:

- Story is already done.
- Gameplay is done.
- Soundtrack is already done.
- Sound effects are already done.
- Character modeling is already done. (See advent children, or Crisis Core etc.)

What would need to be done:

- Voice over
- new character rigging
- improve CGI sequences (=> script already done)
- New camera work
- biggest job: remodeling and texturing of cities and world.


I just don't see why it wouldn't be doable. They could use just as much budget as FFXV and would probably sell waaay more. Make a collector's edition with a chocobo plushie or a miniature Cloud/Aeris/Sephiroth, that will sell much more then any Amiibo combined. The marketing is pretty much done for this game by just announcing it.

Release on PS4/XBO/WiiU/PC/iOS/Android.

Marketing deals with Sony, extra DLC => couple of new materias
Marketing deals with shops => Pre-order now and get a new skin for Cloud

Although I wouldn't like this, they could make a shitload with skins and other bullshit dlc's

It's soooooooooooo easy.

We don’t need to be shackled to violence anymore. I’m tired of these beautiful worlds being used solely as background for violence, where gorgeous walls are there only to have blood splattered on them. We could be doing so much more, if only we cared to undo the noose of murder as method and embrace this medium as the creative avenue it could be and, for many of us, is.

"Videogames can be so much more."

Anyone with that mentality isn't a fan of videogames I guess. If you can't find fun or have fun with the thousands upon thousands of games out there, violent or not, do something else.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=165800939&postcount=48

I think the main issue is it's difficult to tell certain kinds of stories in video games without violence. Take movies like "Lost in Translation" or "American Beauty" for instance. How do you take stories like those and turn them into video games?

 

You don't. The best/most entertaining videogame stories out there are videogamey as fuck when it comes to pacing and characterization.

Film can produce The Theory of Everything, The Imitation Game, Pan's Labyrinth, Gravity, 12 Years a Slave, Finding Nemo, Toy Story, The Truman Show, Life of Pi, Slumdog Millionaire, so many different stories that explore character, narrative, and adventure from a non-violent context. Games can't do that. Not yet at least. Not outside of the Indie space.

That's why I'm SO EXCITED about No Man's Sky. A game that I can (hopefully) show to friends and family and be proud of. Usually I show them snippets of games, like the historical worldspaces of Assassin's Creed, then conveniently leave out the details about being an assassin who has to stab his way through a terribly written story that places the main character at the heart of every major scene of conflict in that time period...

I don't know why everyone believes pumping out brand new titles is so much more important or worthy. Who is to say FF16 would sell better than FF7 HD, or would be a better game?

It wouldn't be any different than making any other new game.

If SE is incapable of making an FF7 remake, guess what? That also means they're incapable of making Kingdom Hearts 3, or any other new game for that matter.
