I still hope he doesn't get his hands on Silent Hill, though.
Why not? He just dipped his toe into horror genre and made a demo that ended up as one of the creepiest horror games. Silent Hill franchise is dead and has been since Silent Hill 4 so who cares?
Because he's the antithesis of silent hill story telling. He's incapable of subtlety. It's like getting Tarantino to make a twin peaks episode. It might be good .. if you're a Tarantino fan. Definitely not if you're a twin peaks fan.
It's also a massive fucking slap in the face of the original team. They got the Konami treatment whilst Kojima was still lavished with millions for his last two projects. And they didn't whine about it, either, unlike the latter.
