You better start loosening those respects. You might lose your sanity afterwards.
For all that's been said here it's nothing but guesswork at the moment, unless I've missed something we don't yet know the reasons behind PT ending up on the PS4 only. Recent moves by Sony could possibly mean that they're working with Konami in some way and I'm guessing that MGS was something that Sony wouldn't be able to touch even if they wanted to and I suppose Silent Hills doesn't carry as much weight so it would be a little easier for them to work a deal with this if they wanted to.
I'd be surprised though, I was surprised with Street Fighter but in some ways this is quite a bit bigger, not because of Silent Hill but because of Kojima.
There are benefits to it being single platform as well as it being multi-platform, if it's on all systems then more people get to play it but if it's on a single platform then hopefully it would take advantage of that specific hardware (whichever platform) and it should benefit from that.
Whatever happens in the end, I'm not buying any new hardware to play it but if it's released on a platform that I own then I'll be very happy to play it.

My favorite Trilogy of all time ( and the most underrated as well ) Xenosaga in HD is coming? OMG if that happen I will cry out of joy, no kidding tears will come out of my eyes ;_;
FFXII HD? I hated it so much when if came out, but after FFXIII's Trilogy I'm so willing to give it another chance because I do remember the battle system were excellent.
A Final Fantasy spin-off for consoles? anything on consoles are most welcome even if they ported FFIV and other FF from mobile to consoles are most welcome too.
A new Suikoden? take all your time even if is going to be released years later, at less we are getting a new one... now just give us Wild Arms 6 for PS4 and my wish list would be complete.
This is the best things I've heard in a very long time, really made my day
and oh... DQVIII will looks godly in HD if that ever happen, I hope it does.

That's certainly a benefit, as this is the game I wouldn't wish to see being shackled by parity. I think it's an interesting thought, that Silent Hill series has been pretty much dead, and the status of the franchise was at its lowest after all the mediocre entries and screw ups, then after all this time its exclusive demo is stealthily revealed at Sony's conference.

MGS GZ had like 80%+ sales on Playstation. Its kind of like the FF situation where that fan base is already predominantly on Playstation and buy playstation for those franchises so why spend so much to make them fully exclusive. We saw how Destiny gave a bigger bump to PS4's than Halo 3 did for the 360 and that was a multi platform title.
I think the major benefits for Japanese companies is getting their next gen engine running and getting a title out there. We see SCEJ helping FROM with Bloodborne, Capcom with their next gen engine as well and perhaps even smaller devs like Level 5 in order to make the transition to next gen smoother and quicker. I think such partnerships whether its Sony, MS or Nintendo are a good thing especially if the venture turns out to be successful and franchises are revived or notable ones are created.

Is this a big Budget Game that will also catch the interest of non Japano Fans...Or this is more on of those mid-budget games for japanese audience (tales of , Persona )
Do you guys remember this from Verendus?

The Tales after Zestiria so expect it either 2016 or more likely 2017.

I imagine Namco would not want to talk about it since Zestira is coming out soon.

Oh god, I think my heart just skipped a few beats.
Has Verendus ever clarified who Lockstarter and Lazyeye are? I know the common beliefs are Activision and Rockstar but I just don't see either of them, especially Activision, making an exclusive.

they are pretty big studios, i dont know why else he should hide them under codenames.
So they are obviously Activision and Rocktstar Games.

Other deferred rendered games have been above 720p on the xbone.

Codenames? Maybe they are just emergent new studios making indie games on PS4 or something?
So far, Japanese 3rd party support has been improving a lot on PS4 than on PS3.
Playstation was never about targeting "Dudebros," it was about targeting all genres of gamers, including those like myself who are into a ton of single player games.

no he said we should decode them. He also said, those who shall not be named..
So he meant some pretty big studios.

Isn't Silent Hill in the toilet as of the last game?
Perhaps it was easy for Sony to snatch this up exclusively because "Silent Hill who cares?"
Maybe Sony even suggested Kojima and Deltoro for it (or something special for the game in general) and paid Konami up the wazoo to make it happen?

If Silent Hills is anything like P.T Minus the puzzles it will be probably the best horror game in a long time.

Oh, I knew I was missing something. What makes people think it's Activision and Rockstar? I guess R* is possible if Agent is still a thing, but I really don't see Activision making an exclusive game.
Sorcerer

No doubt this game is going to be something special.
I was just saying it was perhaps smart of Sony to snatch up a Silent Hill for itself while its down and add all this amazing talent behind it to ensure it would be a quite the catch for them to have exclusively.

LazyEye = Active Vision its the opposite (more or less)
I mean there aren that many big studios out there right? What else could it be...^^
Wouldn't surprise me if Sony decides to lend a hand with the game. Silent Hill's value as an IP has dramatically dropped in the past 10 years. And although the horror genre is making a resurgence a AAA survival horror is still a wild card. Konami/Kojima will need all the help they can get. Maybe Kojima gets the og creator from SCEj on board, that would be a dream come true.
Naughty_Doge

I see. Thanks :>
And 720p on Xbone if PES and GZ are anything to go by.
That's the way I see Silent Hill too, I just don't see it the Silent Hill name having the power it used to have. That's why I think it's maybe within the grasp of Sony to secure a "working relationship" with Konami with this title as seems to be a way that they like to work now.
I don't think that anything would have livened up this franchise to the extent of what could happen with the Kojima announcement.
How long has Kojima been talking about moving away from MGS? I'm not suggesting that it's happened but I wouldn't be too surprised that he'd jump on the chance of trying something new and Konami NEED something new to happen to the franchise as it's pretty much dead money for them at the moment.
Although again, I'm not saying that it has happened but Sony's new practice of working on third party games that may well never have existed without them, Kojima wanting to do something new, Konami probably not wanting to waste any more money on the franchise and all the hints of old PlayStation franchises coming "back to PlayStation" may suggest that something interesting is happening here.
For what it was the PT demo was a pretty major stealth announcement at the show which could also be a really good way of testing the water for Silent Hills and I'd assume that both Sony and Konami would be very pleased with the amount of chatter and positivity it created online.
Of course, we don't really know anything at the moment.

All of these sound wonderful and I hope things fall through.
Your Knack clones are creepy though...I thought it was just one person and then I started seeing them everywhere, with different usernames...

Uhm... This is the first time I've heard "fall through" used in a way that didn't mean something negative.
Like "our plans fell through" means shit happened so plans got canceled, etc.

At first I wanted to rule out exclusivity of SH based on GZ/TPP, but when I think about it...
MGS = strongly connected to the PS brand. Sales ratios kinda reflect that I guess? But still they put out GZ, TPP and the HDs on Xbox and even PC. Likely because the IP itself has a strong pull so even relatively lower sales on the other platforms are still a lot of profit. Enough to be too expensive for Sony to make any deal with Konami about it.
SH = weak affiliation with PS. But the series and its sales went down the drain. So for Konami to risk developing it in house again could mean that they get help&funds from Sony. The very successful P.T. marketing stunt from both Sony&KP might have only strengthened any possible deal.
So yeah, I would not be surprised if it's PS4 only. Maybe a PC version as Sony doesn't seem to mind for IPs they don't own, but could be coming much later.

Is the new Suikoden title a mainline game or a spinoff like The DS/PSP iterations?
IcyRhythms

No way they keep a AAA survival horror game exclusive in 2015-2016. They stand to make far more money putting it on multiple platforms.
If it's true I hope they know thay nobody would give a fuck about some spinoff. Suikoden 6 in the canon world or GTFO.

Depends. The horror genre has been weird recently, with the smaller indie titles having much more impact (think Amnesia) while AAA games have stumbled a little. Silent Hill, as a brand, has certainly seem better days, so some sort of collaboration with a platform holder may not be the craziest thing in the world, especially if they're willing to cover marketing costs and assist in development of the title in some capacity. With Konami basically living on MGS and PES, someone else may have to kick them into gear with their other franchises.

PC MGS HD collection huh? I'd really appreciate an option for a stable 30FPS lock and an option to play MGS2 @60FPs but cutscenes at 30. It'd also be nice if they fixed all of the added bugs and typos introduced in those versions. Not to mention the fucked up sequenced music missing reverb in MGS2. (Go load up the PS2 or original Xbox version, go to basic actions, listen to the music. Then listen to the same in the HD version. Reverb be gone!)
MGS4, i'd love this, but only if they don't ridiculously over compress the information and any FMVs like the intros. If the game took up nearly 50GB on PS3 on blu-ray, it better damn do the same on PC.
FFXII HD would be amazing, hopefully they smartly release it on PS4/PS3/PC.
Uncompressed, lossless English audio (No low sample rate/low bit rate crap. I'm sure the sources exist) and re-done music with a proper budget (meaning the entire soundtrack done with a live orchestra) AND an option to use the original music if wanted. Some ACTUAL Anti-Aliasing and 16xAF would be great too. (FFX HD, as much as improved the textures are, detail dies off quickly at angles due to lack of AF)
Xenosaga HD< https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CYzT_ZTye1A/UO5HFdKKkzI/AAAAAAAAAi8/saG2vZgwdpw/s1600/YESPLEASE.png
PS3/PS4> any other platforms to help increase audience and sales. I worry about Xenosaga I though, just because IIRC a large portion of the cutscenes are actually FMVs rather than Real Time! (Similar to how it's common practice these days. Which is nutty)

I think Fox Engine running like garbage on XB1 and PT being exclusive are both because KojiPro (or whatever the fuck they are now) aren't putting much effort into the platform in general.
It's an afterthought.
