It's a real pity to see Konami treat Book Of Memories like this, it's by far the most interesting Silent Hill title we've seen in a while.
I'm not sure that Konami should say in business either.
** Spelling!
Maybe they realized that it was total crap, and are either going to completely re make it or shelf it forever. I couldn't care either really I liked the first Silent Hill on PSone, and that's my whole experience with that franchise.
They do seem to keep the Metal Gear Franchise going on pretty well though, mostly due to their resident golden goose though.

It just really pisses me off, the Vita needs games like yesterday. To not even tell people this was delayed again, come on. Dammit dude.
About a week after a Vita price drop would be the optimum release date for me. I'm actually looking forward to this quite a bit, I think Silent Hill games work pretty well on handhelds. Origins was one of my favorite PSP games, all you needed was a pair of headphones and it sucked you right in.
.-. ugh....Konami is killing itself. They were like that with the Castlevania Harmony of Despair DLC. Never mentioned it and released it under the radar and mentioned it days after it was released on Facebook.
Just what's happening at that company these days anyway, they are in a nosedive and no one seems to care.
metal gear, zone of the enders, castlevania these guys own some of my favorite franchises so it's sad to see them in such pathetic shape. I hope they get thier act together soon, I don't think any irreparable damage has been done to the company yet, but it's gonna happen soon if this keeps up.

I just noticed this the other day. I was excited to have a new game on Vita this month, so I'm disappointed. However, there's really no need to blow this out of proportion. Actually, this looks like it could be good news all around.
The game is delayed, allowing more time to polish it and make it a better experience. The game is rumored to now be coming out on Halloween. Guess what? That's a pretty great time to release a horror video game. Also, it will be after the release of some heavy hitters on Vita, like Gravity Rush and Ragnarok Odyssey, so the system install base will be larger. Also, this is after an E3 that very well could persuade many people to jump on board with the system.
Releasing the game on Halloween suggests that the marketing department is finally pulling their head out of their ass a little bit. Releasing a patch for Silent Hill HD shows that they know they fucked that up.
They should have announced a delay though. They still need to work on that, clearly. It's hardly the end of the world though, or the end of Konami. Actually, they just released their financial statements, and they were profitable this year because of some major bank from social games.

Hmmmm....doesn't bode well. I wonder if they know they are acting weird as shit or is it a David Koresh kinda deal where abnormal behavior like worshiping a guy that looks like the bass player for a Three Dog Night cover band as the Messiah is just another day in the life of. Well, I hate to see a company with such a history and pedigree go down the toilet like this.
The worst thing is, if this is just a delay because they do not think the VITA audience is big enough, they could go out and say so and Sony would be that much more pressured into cutting VITA's price or making a better bundle, etc.
Konami is still a publisher with recognizable IP's and enough power to have some affect on Sony's decisions with VITA. It is too bad for either companies, hopefully they do okay.

@handhelds4ever:
Sony just posted some major losses recently. They aren't going to cut the price on Vita any time soon, so give up on that one. The system is priced well for what it is. When it was announced at $250 originally, everyone lost it because they couldn't believe how cheap it was.
All Sony needs to do is keep getting more games out.
If they need to cut the price on anything, it's memory cards, not the system.

@sofik, god I hope so. That preview trailer was the worst crap I've seen this year. I would rather lick something with HIV then put that piece of garbage into my Vita.
Maybe they can polish the game a bit more by changing the title of the game to something that doesn't contain the words "silent hill" in it.
Because a 4player top down iso is a stupid way for sh to go. Next thing you know ill be playing ultra buff guys taking cover behind shit while shooting massive guns at pyramid head.

@Shinta I agree with you, I mean I'd always rather a delayed game than a shitty one, but to have it preordered and then delayed so many times, it just sucks. The Vita needs games now, not later. And the icing on the cake is them not telling anyone about it.
It would have been nice of Sony to offer an Ambassador program, just throw people some PSOne classics or something. Give me more incentive to buy your console with no remote play, no youtube, sparse game releases, whatever.
I feel like people are hinging their hope on E3, but what if E3 doesn't deliver for the Vita? Even if it does, those games would be months away! I LOVE my Vita, it's the best handheld I've ever had, but I can't help but feel a little burned by a megalithic company that could do more, but chooses not to.

I don't think anyone is arguing that game delays are always a bad thing. They can be frustrating, but that isn't the point. The point is that Konami is consistently mishandling one of their most unique IPs. Sure, I'd rather see Book of Memories be a different type of game, but all the same, I love Silent Hill and hate to see Konami treating it no better than Blades of Time.
The reason they have done this is because they want the new Silent Hill Movie to come out the same month as a new game.
I'm only entering college this fall, yet for some reason, I have a sneaking suspicion that I could run Konami far better than the jokers in charge now. Just saying.
I hope it's them wanting to release a decent SH game (Downpour was very nice, that quality is A-ok, Konami) and using the time to get rid of bugs and QC everything before it gets shipped. It's better to have a good game delayed than a crappy game on time. It's not like there aren't other games to play (or other things to do every day)
Now if the have a Silent Hill Bundle package. That includes Silent Hill DownPour, then maybe I 'll get it

I doubt a developer as great as WayForward deserves this kind of shabby treatment. Without any idea of what the game is going to be like, despite Jim's numerous attempts to be Konami's entire PR service, this game is fighting an uphill battle for maintaining whatever interest is left.
For all I'm concerned it could just go head and be canceled. Its not going to save Konami nor Silent Hill at this point, the genre its in alone makes it dead in the water.
Only reason I wish it'd come out is so the Vita could have another game, but what precedent does that really set? Shit games for the sake of having games isn't going to help anyone.

You know, I fired Konami multiple times in Destructoid comments, so this doesn't bug me at all. Amnesia and Dark Souls have usurped Silent Hill and Castlevania as far as I'm concerned. Konami, just keep releasing those third-rate cart racers, franchise-based fighting games and horror RTSes.
Honey, don't stop trying and you'll get what you deserve. All the single ladies. Et cetera.

You'd think Konami would want more money, but I guess not. Silent Hill is dead. Metal Gear or Contra is next.
Instead of responding to the original article, they respond to ign, anyway apparently the game is officially delayed until October, though no date was given. Would post link but I suck.
good, here's a game delay I'm happy to hear about
hopefully it'll get canceled, this game is an abomination against everything Silent Hill stands for

The book of memories information is worth to read about.

i would be kind of happy. the way they treat their consumers is a joke, yet EA puts out quality games and gets labeled worst company. the HD collection is the most unpolished train wreck ive played and ive played TR angel of darkness.Thanksbean bags
At this point, I've absolutely given up on Konami. I've had my rants about the publisher's clueless behavior, but between its past shenanigans, its mute PR department, and this ridiculous shit, I have to wonder whether the publisher actually wants to say in business, or has some magnificent investment scam planned, a'la The Producers. At this point, a heist-level con job could only return my faith in the company. android tablet
