Money Talks, we all seen Capcom with SFV
Is Silent Hills a multiplatform title?

Well I'll take his words over yours considering he is part of the game.
LOL where is this from?

I think it has more to do with the X1 running Fox Engine like absolute garbage than a real deal.
I'm sure Hideo didn't want the unveiling of the scariest hallway simulator ever to be running at 720p with a variable framerate.

I pray every morning and night for it to be multiplatform.
I quess that current gen and next gen 4k remake wouldn't be that bad.,.Hopefully Cross-Gen too

This is Kojima though, I don't think he would want to make an exclusive... Not after bringing MGSV to everywhere (except Wii U).
...unless it's the only way that Konami would approve it is with Sony money.

Also is the genre, as in proper survival horror, healthy enough to get big name game done without outside funding?
Though if we can read anything into what has happened with SFV, if Sony has "snatched" Silent Hills then we are likely to see PC version also.
This is just me guessing stuff of course.

Kojima is insane, anything goes!

I don't know if Konami could make a good suikoden game now.

PS4 exclusive in Japan, multiplat everywhere else is my guess. Unless Sony outright paid for exclusivity.

I don't think it is ZoE3 Wouldn't Kojima have his hands full after MGS V with Silent Hills?

Preach it. That series went downhill the moment it became multi-platform anyway (Bloody Roar 3).
Probably, but I don't know why. Kojima said they scaled the graphics back so no one would think it was from a big studio. 720p would fit that, and XB1 is known for sub 1080p games.

A new, good Silent Hill could easily benefit from more broad exposure, thus jump-starting the series.
Multiplatform release could be the best way to get this series back on its feet by scaring the most amount of people as it can.
However, a couple things:
-Silent Hill, although carrying with it a dedicated fan base, isn't exactly a massive series. It's a survival horror series that, at its core, is about psychological & metaphysical trauma. It's never carried the mainstream appeal of something like Resident Evil.
-Quite frankly, the series has been in a downward death spiral since post SH3... which came out in 2003. Konami has been treating it like an unwanted guest & has been pooping out outsourced, poorly managed 'sequels' trying to suck in any kind of revenue from brand recognition that they could. The inexcusable failure of SH HD Collection, shameful QC & overall marketing of Downpour, & Vita's Book of Memories shows me that Konami pretty much threw their hands up and said "fuck it".
Why the major push for a new, hype building SH with Kojima, Del Toro, & a Hollywood actor all the sudden? Did Konami have a change of heart or was this a move inspired by financial backing/support by someone like Sony?
PT was a major topic of attention & conversation for the PS4 this year.
Guess we'll find out next year (?)- but resurrecting the series as a co-published/developed Sony game would not surprise me. It could have the potential for low risk/medium cost/high reward as a straight-up exclusive.

When has anyone ever done this (exclusive to Japan)? People have been saying this a lot as of late; it's ridiculous.

It is, indeed. It's also redundant that way around :>

It'd suck if it didn't come to PC after seeing the improvements they made in the PC version of Ground Zeroes.

Well it has been happening.
Destiny Exclusive to PS3 & PS4 in Japan
Batman: Arkham Knight Exclusive to PS4 in Japan
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Exclusive to PS4 in Japan
It was said in one of the Dengeki Playstation threads that MGS V might become Playstation Exclusive in Japan.

There were a few titles last gen that were PS3 exclusive in Japan, Final Fantasy XIII most notably.
Because it has been happening. Destiny is exclusive on PS3/PS4 in Japan. Beaten.
No idea, but I actually don't mind exclusivity so I wouldn't get too bothered about it.
lol, do you have a link to that playthrough?

Probably too far off/early in development.
That said, I'm pretty sure with the super positive response to P.T. that they're thinking about platforms right now, making deals. I'd be kind of shocked if it was PS4-only, though, but at the same time I can see Sony trying to get that exclusive due to the success of P.T. P.T. is exclusive to PS4 and will stay that way for the foreseeable future, but I recall it being said platforms weren't decided yet on Silent Hills.

This was Gamespot's livestream of PT on the same day as the game was unveiled at Gamescom..

While Silent Hill isn't the biggest IP around, I'd call it far from super niche.
