Why not just make a new horror IP, assuming he can still bank on Sony's backing? Surely any publisher is better than Konami from his perspective after what happened. And who cares about the name of the IP anyway~

No, just no lol. C'mon, we all know what's in a name. We know how much things sell based on brand power alone. Heck, if they changed the name of PlayStation to GameStation I bet it wouldn't sell as much anymore. Just saying.

It has to be a new Silent Hill with the same concepts. It's just too incredible of a franchise to just create something new now. Plus, the fans of SH are a very dedicated bunch. They deserve another one if only for it to be the LAST one.

Yes there's power behind a name but I think that Kojima's name alone would be enough to boost a new horror IP well over what Silent Hill ever achieved in terms of sales. If Kojima was able to sell a post-apocalyptic postman simulator IP on his name alone selling a new horror IP should be quite easy.
