Silent Hill 2 Slot Machine
Today, Silent Hill pachislot machines begin to enter pachinko parlors all over Japan. Silent Hill fans from the rest of the world hardly miss anything. As we watched new gameplay videos, it became evident there is no storyline whatsoever – the game's just a chaotic set of cutscenes based on SH2. Oct 12, 2019 It turns out Silent Hills is actually worse than dead: It's now a slot machine. Konami announced that Silent Hill will be transformed into a 'for-wager slot experience' on its new slot cabinet. Silent Hill, also referred to as Pachislot Silent Hill, is a pachislot game released in Japan in 2015. The game mainly follows the plot of Silent Hill 2 and features new content. 1 References 2 External links 3 Gallery 3.1 Official wallpapers Official website Promotional video with optional English captions Add a photo to this gallery Add a photo to this gallery.
Something's happening at Konami. Yesterday, Reddit users noticed that all mentions of Kojima Productions and Hideo Kojima were removed from the company’s site. Kojima Productions portal was renamed into Metal Gear portal and Metal Gear series now has a completely new Twitter account. Looks like Kojima Productions is coming to an end.
Konami has recently released a press release stating that Hideo Kojima is removed from the Executive Content Manager’s position starting from April 1 to which his was appointed last summer. Today, after the fans’ turmoil Konami has released another statement which says that Kojima-san is continuing his work on Metal Gear Solid V and the game is going to be released as planned.
As for Silent Hills, currently we only know that, according to GameSpot editor Peter Brown, the contract for the game was signed by Konami and Guillermo del Toro and the deal does not include Hideo Kojima. Kojima-san is refraining from commentaries, but has posted a somewhat hinting tweet on March 16.
At the moment, we don’t know if it is part of Konami’s reorganisation or some kind of Hideo Kojima’s mystifications and how this will affect Silent Hills development. We are hoping to get all the answers in the near future.

Facepalm: The cancelation of Silent Hills in 2015 came as a huge disappointment to fans of the long-running horror series. And while Konami has just announced a new Silent Hill game, it comes in the form of a three-sided slot machine.
Back when Hideo Kojima unceremoniously departed Konami, it was suggested the decision was partly due to the company’s shift in focus to mobile and gambling machines—the first post-Kojima Metal Gear Solid project was a pachinko game based on MGS 3: Snake Eater. Pachinko is like a mix between pinball and gambling slot machines, and are very popular in Japan.
Konami Gaming, a subsidiary of Konami, is announcing a new series of video slot cabinets at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in Las Vegas starting October 15, one of which is Silent Hill Escape. Yahoo Finance reports that it comes with a 49-inch 'J' curve display in 4K Ultra HD, which is still unlikely to appease fans of the series.

— Wario64 (@Wario64) 11 October 2019'This cabinet is a striking combination of sleek entertainment, premium packaging, and player comfort, backed by a rich library of original titles,' said Tom Jingoli, executive vice president & chief commercial officer at Konami Gaming. 'Everything, including its shape, screens, betting surface, and available merchandising, has been engineered to maximize both player experience and operational results. This latest cabinet is a first glimpse at great things to come from Konami.'
It's been over seven years since the last full Silent Hill game—Downpour—arrived, though there was also the now-removed PT demo.
Konami did renew the Silent Hill trademark earlier this year, but it was likely to secure the rights for devices such as this slot machine. Still, there's always the chance we might see another entry in the franchise at some point in the future.
