Well, Silent Hills is dead. Again.

A rumour flew across the internet this weekend, suggesting that Microsoft was in talks with Konami to revive the troubled horror title. Almost as quickly, Xbox head Phil Spencer put the rumour to rest.

@GoReds42093 @Xbox Sorry, this isn't true. Not sure where the rumor started but I don't want to mislead anyone.

Doesn’t get any more cut and dry than that, eh?

Let have another moment of silence for Silent Hills. Pun definitely intended.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
