Del Toro: ‘Silent Hills’ may be dead, but I still want to work with Kojima on a game
From the Ashes of Suck rises a potentially awesome Phoenix of Collaboration! Shitty figurative language! Wee! Come and stop me! Or! Focus instead on this rather awesome little development. Konami may have strangled Silent Hills into oblivion, but that disgusting act of malice may not have ended a potential Del Toro/Kojima project.
Still hoping to explore Silent Hills? Sorry, but you’re SOL. But there’s definitelyhope for something else, something (hopefully) just as insanely nightmarish from Guillermo Del Toro and Hideo Kojima!
Speaking with IGN recently, GDT revealed that he’s still interested in working with Kojima on a new project. Like, real, real interested.
“I love working with Kojima-san,” he said. “We are still in touch. We are still friends and working into doing something together, but that’s not going to be [Silent Hills].”
So nothing is set in stone right this very second, but if their future collabos are anything like PT, the teaser for Silent Hills that’s now mainly hiding out in the corner of our brains forever (thank gods you bought it before they took it off the PlayStation Store, right?), it’s gonna be unreal, right? Well, definitely if they work off what they were thinking for Silent Hills. As GDT tells IGN, he and Kojima “were talking about really pushing the boundaries of the new consoles, and making the game really mess with your head.”
He explained, “One of the great moments in Metal Gear [Solid] was Psycho Mantis. The idea that a game can actually interact with you, and stuff like that.”
