This just reminds me how I forgot to redownload it after changing my HD on my PS4, before they took it down.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

just let it go

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Well, you've only got to look at all the money Kojima burned through while making the far-from-finished MGSV to see that it does kinda make sense. I mean it breaks my heart that Silent Hills was cancelled, but I get why it's cancelled.

Yeah.

 

[backflip10019]

Would've been so fucking good.

Are people still using this as fact? It's literally a rumor and hasn't been reported as fact from any publication

 

[OnPoint]

Has anyone been able to back the game up before Konami inevitably hits the killswitch on any copies out there?

 

[Raxus]

Everything about Silent Hills was too good to be true. Sadly I was right

Fuck Konami.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

That Konami ether is strong. Stay strong Del Toro. :'(

[SolidusDave]

Sony should pick these two up and let them make

Siren Hills

TLG, Shenmue 3, FF7R.

Maybe get the first/third party relations teams on it and in e3 2016 we have a surprise announcement!

 

[KANYE WEST]

Silent Hills isn't happening because your buddy Kojima costs way to fucking much money and Konami realized they weren't running a charity but a business

 

[Srey Plaughtered]

Could happen much sooner, with Kojima going free agent and del Toro always starting new projects.

Kojima's contract ends in December I think. It could take a while for Kojima to set up shop and get together his team again, and then to find someone who'll fund a AAA horror game. We should be hearing something regarding his next project from next year on. So within a year or two we'll see something concrete hopefully.

 

[Luq]

Well, he's right, isn't he?

 

[hughesta]

The cancellation of Silent Hills hurts so much. It was my dream :/

 

[GrayChild]

I've been a fan of del Toro for years. Incredibly humble and kindhearted human being, with a self-deprecating sense of humor. Not a mean bone in his body. Wears his heart on his sleeve.

To add salt to the wound of SH's cancelation, here's a post I made in the Stefanie Joosten waifu thread:

#########

Come to think of it... You know who else probably would've appeared in Silent Hills?

Doug Jones. Doing mo-cap.

No....

------------------------------------

In that regard, do you remember who else was in Kojima productions around that time?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=943834

I mean, Kojima hiring Sasha Grey for Silent Hills is... wow....

Surely The Last Of Us was around before Silent Hills? Wasn't it only a year into development when it was canned?

Kojima was contacted with request to direct Silent Hills in late 2012. Maybe that's when they started gathering ideas for the game.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

I love how all of you have that great access to Konamis Budget department

 

[inky]

No, we need more. Someone ask Del Toro on twitter if Guy Davis was involved.

Probably. Here's a Crimson Peak poster he did just because:

This one by Daniel Danger too:

 

[impact]

Silent Hill has to be the most mistreated IP in gaming. A god damn shame Konami is/was in charge of what was once such a fantastic series. I'm sure they'll use the name again for some stupid ass gambling machine or cellphone shitware.

 

[Olengie]

Damn right it makes no sense

 

[brau]

Probably. Here's his 2 Crimson Peak posters just because:

these look awesome.

 

[Blablurn]

Sony should pick these two up and let them make

Siren Hills

we got a winner here

 

[Loakum]

Konami really deserves the worst developers in the biz award for releasing an incomplete MGSVTPP and cancelling Silent Hills. They really fucked over gamers that supported them for decades.

Too bad they don't hear anything over the sound of pachinko machines.

My heart aches with this whole Silent Hills. It was gonna be amazing after how awesome P.T turned out. The hype was real.

PT demo is the scariest game/demo I've ever played! I will be playing it again this Halloween.

 

[The Silver]

My #FuckKonami meter has risen back to 100%.

 

[Ensirius]

Just when I thought I got over this, they come back to hurt me more.

Stop this already.

 

[-Horizon-]

It would make sense if he just HIT THE LEVER!!!

 

[GrayChild]

Silent Hill has to be the most mistreated IP in gaming.

If there is a biography of the series released someday, this quote should be on the cover. Four games that are still considered to be the highest point of the survival horror genre, followed by 2 crappy movies, 5 mid-to godawful games, tons of horrible graphic novels, mobile shovelware and an absolutely atrocious HD "collection".

 

[raindoc]

Well... I had no idea it got cancelled.

 

[Plague Doctor]

Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft, do want to win my temperamental and ever fleeting brand loyalty?

Pick up Del Toro and Kojima for a first party horror game.

Please understand if you screw up after that, I will more than likely jump ship again. But for that release and probably the rest of that generation, you have me.

You forgot the best demo of all time for a game that was cancelled. It will never not hurt. Fuck this company.

 

[SOLDIER]

Can't just Sony hire him and Kojima and create their vision under different name?

If nobody from Sony has at least APPROACHED Del Toro with this idea by now, I will be seriously shocked.

I keep thinking about what Sony could do to top this year's triple whammy of E3 announcements.

The only conceivable thing I can think of would be to have Del Toro and Kojima on stage to announce their new collaboration on "Whispering Mountain".

 

[kamandi]

Just let it go buddy,let it go...

THIS.

 

[dancrane212]

It's not all bad. As someone who doesn't read manga the news of Junji Ito (not) working on the project causing folk to loose their mind got me to pick up Uzumaki which I am thoroughly enjoying.

At least I got something out of all this.

 

[wild wild rice]

the sadness won't go away

 

[javie3d]

not like this.

 

[Anth0ny]

Konami makes no fucking sense.

 

[zeopower6]

The pain never stops.

 

[shmoglish]

Oh common. PT wasnt good.

.

[HeelPower]

"Hundreds upon hundreds of designs"

That's why its not happening.Definitely was too expensive and this is Konami.

 

[PolishQ]

Probably. Here's his 2 Crimson Peak posters just because:

The second one is by Daniel Danger, not Guy Davis.

 

[butman]

These two must make a game. I don't fucking care if is not called Silent Hills.

 

[Gurish]

I will never get over cancellations of SW1313 and Silent Hills.

Such shame.

SW1313 would probably end up as another mediocre Uncharted clone with a SW skin on top of it.

SH is a real pain, we probably lost a true horror classic, potentially the best ever in its genre.

 

[Kain]

Luckily I don't like horror games, because this breaks my heart. As a Metal Gear fanboy I imagine this is something similar to cancelling the next Metal Gear before it even... oh

 

[mr_nexus]

The only thing I can say to any Silent Hills news I hear is:

Fuck Konami!

 

[SOLDIER]

I sure hope Crimson Peak is good.

 

[Shizuka]

#########

Come to think of it... You know who else probably would've appeared in Silent Hills?

Doug Jones. Doing mo-cap.

He's a frequent creature actor in del Toro's films. He brought to life such marvelous monsters as:

Abe Sapien

Pan

Pale Man

Angel of Death

Ah, what could've been

Maybe he played Lisa and we just didn't know.

 

[night13x]

They let Kojima blow enough money to make multiple AAA games for ultimately an unfinished final product.

Now we have Pachikomania!!!!!
