Hey, Konami.
Guillermo del Toro confirms he will not be collaborating with Kojima on Silent Hills
- Thread starter Sn4ke_911
- Start date
I guess that's a thing. Doesn't Sony actually have OG Silent Hill devs working with them internally already?

I see a dark future where we get a gorgeous 2d castlevania game on mobile, where you need to pay for power ups.

Ah I didn't follow after the initial meltdown (don't have a PC so Steam hasn't meant much in 2 years) over that tweet or whatever that claimed so.

What's sad is that this is the first confirmation of it. Even internally. The employees working on the game knew just as much as us. Konami kept them in the dark during all of this.

yes they should buy them out with money they can't spare and fire people that don't even have anything to do with management decisions

Kojima left Konami a while ago. Silent Hills future was uncertain until today.Pardon my ignorance, Ive been under a rock recently. Why the hell has this been cancelled? Seems like everyone but me knew it was coming

P.T. was one of the most amazing things of this gen. =(
On one hand, I know that I'm totally going to buy MGSV, especially for support of this shitty situation KojiPro is in right now.
On the other hand, in terms of straight boycotting/sending a message, I don't think there's going to be much after MGSV to begin with. LOS2 fucked Castlevania, Silent Hill is essentially FUBAR (I know there are MGS conspiracy theorists out-there wanting to apply the same to this, but "I don't think the game is coming" is not, not, NOT good marketing in any sense of the word), and their other IPs? Fuck that.

A falling out between Kojima and Konami following, or amidst, corporate restructuring. Kojima Productions essentially no longer exists and Kojima will be departing Konami from his current status as a contractor iirc after his work is finalized for MGSV.Pardon my ignorance, Ive been under a rock recently. Why the hell has this been cancelled? Seems like everyone but me knew it was coming

Why dont we get donations on the go from the gaf community, buy silent hills and GIVE it kojima for xmas?
From what I can gather, the consensus is if it's happening without Del Toro and Kojima it might as well not be happening at all.
I'm an outsider to the series including everything post original dev team so I can't comment myself. Kojima & co do seem to have that magic touch that made the game so hype worthy to begin with, though.

Resident Evil 7 will be pure survival horror again like the original Resident Evils, so the survival horror genre will still be awesome guys.

Guys guys guys this is a good thing
Now del Toro and Kojima can make a game together instead of del Toro having to make it without Kojima
If contracts and such don't get in the way I would bet that a Kojima/del Toro horror game Kickstarter will be a thing (not silent hills obviously but still)

And then what? Do you want him to make a 2D platformer on Unity in his spare time?

This is such bullshit. P.T. was one of the most memorable gaming experiences I've ever had. The mystery, intrigue, and global cooperation was unlike anything else.

Such a weird fucking situation. I hope once MGS5 is out and the dust settles, we hear what the fuck happened.
The pachinko games are like the final destination for most japanese games... Samurai Spirits, for example.

Wow. I didn't even consider what would happen to silent hills when all that bullshit went down earlier in the year. This really, really sucks.
Ah, I see. Well that's damn unfortunate. I was looking forward to it mostly because this was a Kojima game other than MGS.

You say that like only him has been fired and not his team as well.
you also say it like kojima would never be abke to set up shop again and get big publishers to back him.
in fact you sound slightly bit mad.

Sony weren't developing this. They just worked on PT together in terms of publicity.

Hey man, you didn't say anything about funding it afterwards.
Sure, let's buy Silent Hills and fund the development of the game. It would be kinda crazy but really interesting.

It would probably have been shit anyway. Now leave Silent Hill alone, Konami.

The thing is now no one knows how the game could have turned out if Konami had decided to finish it. It sucks that Kojima left but its even worse that Konami cancelled it.
