Junji Ito speaks a little about his former involvement in Silent Hills: "I told them I knew nothing about games. Kojima said I would be fine"
- Thread starter DNAbro
- Start date
I feel like Kojima was waiting to finish MGSV to start working hard on Silent Hills.
It's a shame that Ito was not approached for Death Stranding.
And what's the scene from Spongebob that got a Junji Ito reference?

think he's probably talking about that plankton "this hole was made for me" meme pic
There's no guarantee that the game would have actually been good, though. Everyone imagines what could have been without considering what could also have gone wrong.
I don't think there's a cancelled game whose lack of existence upsets me more than Silent Hills.
This could have been legendary.

Honestly what I'm sad about is that after the cancellation neither Kojima nor Del Toro talked to Ito afterwards.
I mean, you can say that about literally anything. Should people never get excited for anything since it would possibly be bad?
Also, people played PT and loved the shit out of it.
I wanted to post something extreme about Konami, but it would get me ban so here is the most, simple gif of all about them.
At the same time, the teaser was great and just about everyone involved had a pretty ridiculous track record.
This is the part that really sticks out to me.
I always had a feeling that Silent Hills (Outside of the PT demo.) had barely started development by the time Konami (Most likely due to them scrambling to get the absurdly expensive MGSV project out the door.) cancelled it, and this outright confirms that.
I don't think Del Toro should have ever brought up the fact he wanted Junji Ito to help work on it, because all it's done has been misleading people into thinking that the game was further along in development than it actually was, which only riles up the "#FucKonami" crowd for no good reason.
The more I hear over the years at what SIlent Hills could of been, I grow progressively pissed off. I can't believe that something out there was actually able to take a crack at being one of the best horror video games ever made, all for it to just be thrown away because of something like Konami. I don't think I'll ever get over it.
Considering the demo was already amazing and the talent involved was amazing I doubt it.
The demo alone kind of started a trend in pc horror games of copycats. I know the final version was going to be third person, but the talent was there.
I respect skepticism before a launch though, so you could be right.
Man Silent Hills had some really interesting people involved. Fuck Konami.
Junji Ito in particular could have made some really cool stuff.

Despite not being able to have a link to Silent Hill itself, I still really hope that one day, we get the Kojima/Del Toro/Junji Ito collaboration. They'll have to think of another name for it, but even given the P.T demo, a lot of it wasn't even grounded in Silent Hill (except the ending, maybe). Maybe after Kojima does his passion project (Death Stranding) we'll get that P.T inspired game from him. That's the hope, anyway. :(
shame there's no sketches or anything. Would have loved to see his takes.
Well considering there wasn't even pre-production work on the actual game from Ito at least, I guess there's not much to rebuild...so...hopefully Konami can get its head out of its own ass and get a good team together.
Shame it wont be from Kojima/Del Toro/Reedus/Ito's perspectives though.

Is Kojima exclusive with Sony now? That would make it hard for any 3rd party studio who is interested.
Also Fox Engine. It seems like such a marvelous game engine.
What made the PT demo so good to me as slightly messed up as this will sound.
FPP games make me queasy usually to the point I barely play them any more, thats why I got upset about another game thats going to be FPP instead of TPP but thats not a topic for this thread right now, but cos of that factor and I love horror, I made an exception to play PT even though it was making me feel almost ill.
It made PT a dizzying horrifying experience for me, added to the uncomfortableness like a good horror should, plus it was due to go TPP in a full game anyway.
TLDR - FPP games make me dizzy/feel ill, I forced myself to play PT cos I love horror and loved the fact that the game made me dizzy and uneasy just from the perspective alone and then add the horror ontop.

But we at least know that even a short section of it could have been great, and absolutely terrifying.
I wish for the opportunity to do this to the CEO.I wanted to post something extreme about Konami, but it would get me ban so here is the most, simple gif of all about them.
All I can do now is wish him bad faith and perform some hexes & curses on the side.
That's a shame. But the movies and anime based on his works were terribad.
Manga is probably the best platform for his imagination, until I'm proven otherwise.

If you mean in terms of getting the same team together, it would be the timing. Del Toro is already overbooked as is, and Kojima is able to work on games that aren't Metal Gear, so he seems pretty content too.
It wasn't even a demo. It was a goddamn teaser. The finished product could have looked like fucking Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for all we know. The Kojima wanking in this forum is so fucking tiring.
Sony should consider a future collaborative project in the same veing...
Why OP, why? Just when you start forgetting...

You can have great creepy Monster design in an action game as well
