"For videogame nerds, it's long been the subject of frustration: In the last three decades, there's never been a great videogame movie adaptation. There have hardly been any middling ones. Happily, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider looks a bit better with age. Prince of Persia was watchable but ultimately inane because it pandered. Silent Hill, based on the survival horror series from Konami, was disturbingly creepy for much of its 125 minutes. But it went off the rails at the end. And that's it. The rest of the canon pretty much stinks like zombie death."
When asked on a recent podcast if the director was involved in any Silent Hill-related projects, del Toro said, "No, not at all."
What makes sense to me is that much of what is Silent Hill is due to Keiichiro Toyama and Masahiro Ito. Not Del Toro, Not Kojima. I think the first crew did a great enough job telling that story/world/hell that you two jackoffs were so inspired and decided you needed to tell /re-tell it (and of course take credit for it).
Lol, you talk like PT never happened and they just said Silent Hill was always theirs.
How embarrassing .. i think you should edit your comment one more time or delete it.
People might be upset that the "jackoff" line is a bit far, but you make a fair point. This is Toyama's baby more than anyone else's.
If we're really be honest, SH2 was the best of the series for most players. I bet few people could even name the teams that developed all of the games past SH3 once Konami started whoring the series out to others.
Of all of the people and teams associated with SH, a lot of people seem to put Kojima and Del Toro at the top for whatever reason. They've had the least to do with this franchise of anyone before them. They didn't get to make even 1 full game.
I would have loved to see them actually turn the franchise around, but PT was 7+ years ago, and never amounted to anything else.
When the fans mention Silent Hill to Konami all they hear is that trumpet sound you hear in a Peanuts cartoon when the adults talk. I pretty much gave up on a new, remake, remaster SH game from Konami which is sad because the SH franchise is a great franchise. Sure there were some games that were bad but what franchise doesn't have the odd game that is bad. But Slitterhead has my interest now and I can't wait to play it.
I wished we got Silent Hills, but more preferably I wish Team Silent get back together for more more SH project. In the mean time I look forward to Slitterhead.
Hopefully Del Toro is on his game because his latest film Antlers ended like a massive dumpster fire.
We alll know a new game is coming its just a matter of time, Konami would be idiots by not releasing a new Silent Hill game theres such a high demand for quality horror games these days
"Konami would be idiots by not releasing a new Silent Hill game theres such a high demand for quality horror games these days"
Let me introduce you to Konami... the company sitting on Silent Hill & Metal Gear Solid...
Definitely, and they’ll probably announce it like it’s an AAA remake like the Snake Eater pachinko.
All Konami does is milk anniversary editions like Contra and Castlevania add SH characters to Dead by Daylight make an SH pachinko machine so they can retain the name and characters. They released a soccer game that was well just shit like I said Konami is happy milking their older franchises and focus on pachinko machines. They managed to squeeze out Kojima and screwed him over. They don't care about the gaming world or SH if they did they wouldn't have gone out of their way to scrap the PT demo, pull the PT demo, and make sure the PT demo does not work on PS5. Konami has walked away from the fans that made them what they were on the NES, SNES, Genesis, PS1, PS2, OG Xbox, PS3, XB360 days. I use to be a Konami fan but like them I walked away from Konami like they walked away from the gaming fans. And anything new about SH is just speculation or rumors which turn out to be a dead end. Capcom proved remakes can be done and still sell well with the RE2 remake. Fans are, or, were waiting for Konami to follow suit with an SH, remake, reboot, or a new game. But all you get from Konami's side of the fence is crickets chirping. Sitting there waiting for Konami to announce something new with SH is worse then sitting and watching paint dry.
Guillermo Del Toro made a surprise appearance at this year's Summer Game Fest to draw attention to the upcoming sci-fi/cosmic horror/survival horror title Signalis.
Ok, not to dig up the past, but every-time I see Guillermo Del Toro’s name on a project the damn thing never gets released. Here’s hoping this one breaks the curse.
It seems that even Guillermo del Toro, whose likeness appears in Death Stranding, has no idea what the game is about either.
We already know who the pro and antagonist are. We know it has something to do with black holes. We know it takes place in an alternate United States. We just don't know the exacts about the story line. An incredible amount of research has been done studying nearly every aspect of the game.

@UltraNovaI
ts actually funner not knowing and trying to figure it out.
its not surprising as he only has his likeness in the game, he has stated he has no other input in the game itself.
Lol. So... this Games a hit based off the creator not his creation so far. I don't get the hype around a game no one has an idea about.
The hype is hideo kojima. All his games get this hype. The thing I find funny is how people think this will come in 2018/2019. This is minimum a 2020 game. Maybe even later than that.
Its a PS4 exclusive being supported by Sony. Its also being created by one of the best video game creators of all time, and you dont get the hype?
Thats like saying I dont get the hype behind a new R* game.
Its not like Kojima moved to phone games like Konami. Its a full on slap to the face to Konami, so you know Kojimas gonna be working day and night to make sure this is stellar.
If you look at how fast Kojima opened his studio and created this game, you can tell hes still got major beef with Konami.
Its a matter of proving them wrong, which is a good thing for gamers as this would have probably released way later if he didnt have his beef with Konami.
Looking forward to the PSX panel. Hopefully they announce a release window.
So the game could be called whatever and the trailer could of been a dot zooming in and out of focus for 2 mins and people would still be hyped?
He's previous works doesn't guarantee success but it's something to consider... I get that. Too soon to put all eggs in the basket though.
So we are hoping he delivers as he's done in the past Is this the case with this Dev? I thought we would have learned already this generations hypes things that don't live up to the hype and games have a launch date with a post launch fixes.. hype can wait... at the least let's us know what to be hyped about as far as game information goes.
@B1uburner
there is information for the game in regards to subject matter. Kojima leaves clues in all of this interactions with the media and fans. the dog tags around norman's neck are equations to black hole theories and quantum physics. he spoke of how until now, most multiplayer games have been the sticks (keeping enemies away) where this game will be the rope (keeping friends and value close)
theres even some theories out there based on character models and designs that this might be a spiritual successor to Silent hill.
What we do know is that they have been working with GG on the Decima engine to improve its uses for what he needs, but the fact he chose (or help build the engine) says what is possible with that engine and his idea for the game. heck he has an office in Amsterdam at the GG studio, and GG has an office in the Kojima Productions Studio.
The man knows how to hype up a game, but he does it in the right way, instead of plastering and constantly talking about his game, he leaves the info intertwined with his day to day operations, everything he says, posts and shows has been carefully orchestrated to show only the keen eye'd viewer what the game is about
I love people disagreeing with FACTS hahahaha THIS IS NOT A SONY EXCLUSIVE!!!!!! Get over it fanboys. The best place to play this game will be on PC.

It's not too late to get a Ps4. I know it hurts but Death Stranding will be a ps4 exclusive, and will probably be the best looking game when it releases on the pro, lmao.
I think what he included in the trailer looks really interesting. The actors for this game are odd, the whole umbilical cord attached to everything is interesting. I was interested because of everyone's hype, now I'm interested in how the trailer is connected and the crazy theories that people have created. Interesting and bored.
Hideo is the epitome of an overrated... oh cut that. I forgot the many, many fanboys who are mixing up good narration with Hideo's weird output.
To a degree I would agree, but he has done some awesome stuff.
Metal Gear Solid is considered one of the best PSX games. MGS3 is my favorite ps2 game and one of my favorite pieces of media of any kind.
For that reason alone he has my interest. I’m not overly hyped, but i am interested.
But will they be fun?
They will look great but we wont have innovation.
Well, I don't know about Del Toro, but I've played some Masterpieces in my short 3 years as a hardcore gamer. I can only hope they'll keep improving.
