Konami Delays Silent Hill: Book of Memories

By Matt Mann / March 28, 2012

Silent Hill: Book of Memories for the PS Vita was scheduled to be released this week, however a couple days ago it was pointed out that both Gamefly and Amazon had changed the release date for the game to May 31st. Konami had announced the release date for Silent Hill: Book of Memories earlier this month as March 27th and named this the month of madness because they were essentially releasing a new Silent Hill game every week this month. Well today Konami finally fessed up and announce Silent Hill: Book of Memories was being delayed:

"The ship date for Silent Hill: Book of Memories has been moved, should have a confirmed ship date soon."

Now I have to say there is something a little slimy about not telling people you are delaying a game until the exact ship date of your game; was Konami expecting people not to notice that Silent Hill: Book of Memories was not available on the day it was suppose to be? Not to mention the issues that have been found with the Silent Hill HD Collection even after the game had been delayed twice. I don't know what is going on over at Konami but I think the developer may be in some sort of trouble. Why would they release all three games in the same month, talk about over saturation. Then releasing Silent Hill HD Collection that needs a day one patch that apparently fixes nothing, and the game still has sound sync and frame rate issues. Then finally we have Konami delaying a game without telling people until the day the game is scheduled to be released. This begs the question what the hell is going on with Konami? This use to be one of the best developers in the world but unless they get their act together the company could be in a world of hurt.
