Silent Hills Is Cancelled...

I don't i've been more excited for a survival horror game in my life. Silent Hills was to be produced by Guillermo Del Toro, Hideo Kojima and star Norman Reedus, basically put, the coolest guys in movies, videogames and television were teaming up. The playable demo P.T. was a genius form of marketing and a very good game in it's own right that this looked like it could be one of my most anticipated games ever...and now the project has been cancelled. For a while now there have been conflicting reports of Kojima leaving Konami (The developers), all of his branding was removed from their website yet they stated that he hadn't left while others say he did, it was all confusing and left a lot of people wondering what this meant for the fate of Silent Hills. Well Guillermo and Norman came out and said that the project has officially been cancelled and that absolutely sucks.

As of right now it is still unknown why the project is cancelled, many believe it is because of Kojima leaving Konami, but even that story is still sketchy on the details. Fact is, when this game was first announced, everyone said it was too good to be true, turns out that it was. There really isn't that much to say because very little is known right now, but what could have been one of the greatest videogames of all time has been cancelled and we may never know why. As a gamer who loves games that are intelligent and innovative, as well as seeing how strong of a crew this game had for a franchise that has lost its way, it breaks my heart to see this project never see the light of day.
