Del Toro and Kojima Collaborating On New Project

GDTHK_Collab.jpg


It’s not easy looking at a situation like the cancellation of Silent Hills and see it for anything but the objectively shitty situation it was for the team that was working on it, as well as fans of the struggling series, and yes, even Konami. That decision upset a lot of people, many of whom are still plenty angry with the company even three months after the fact. I wanted to see what Guillermo Del Toro and Hideo Kojima could have done with it, especially after spending an evening with P.T.

It’s worth noting that some good has already come from it. There’s a very promising indie horror game called Allison Road, for example. It’s still a ways off, but it already seems to be reaching for the missed potential that many of us saw in P.T. — and hoped to see in Silent Hills proper.

And then there’s this interview with IGN, in which Guillermo Del Toro drops news of another collaboration between him and Hideo Kojima.

“I love working with Kojima-san. We are still in touch. We are still friends and working into doing something together, but that’s not going to be [Silent Hills].” del Toro said.

I sure hope it’s spooky.

I hope they just take their ideas from Silent Hills and make their own horror game.

This. Whether we get a sequel or a spiritual sequel isn't wildly important, as long as it's good.

I liked PT. Didn't feel at all like a Silent Hill game, and the concept trailer just kinda reinforces that feeling, but I was still pretty disappointed that the game wound up getting cancelled. At the very least a new project would give Kojima and Del Toro the chance to work on a project with the same ideas thay had for Silent Hills without being tied down by a pre-existing IP.

Is that screenshot in the OP with the woman leaning into the hallway from the PT? I mean, does it look like that in-game?
