As we're all now sadly aware, Silent Hills is no more. It's gone, dead. P.T was removed from the Playstation Network on April 29th leaving those who had yet to download it little hope of ever playing that short, terrifying teaser game that got the world talking.

It was confirmed before it's removal that fans who added the game to their downloads list in their account would still be able to download the teaser at a later date from the PSN servers. This is no longer the case, only days later it was revealed that Sony have also now removed the game from their servers entirely and unless you have a license for the games use, you cannot and will not be able to download it. 
So all of those fans still holding out to download it when they can sadly have to admit defeat and accept it's gone (sad times).

The official website for P.T has had all links, information and videos removed. A small notice stating the game is no longer available to download has been added to the site, which also thanks fans for their support. 

One thing however sticks out for me in regards to the entire cancellation of this promising game. When Konami finally issued a statement about Silent Hills and announced it was indeed cancelled, they did also state that 

"In terms of Kojima and Del Toro being involved, discussions on future Silent Hill projects are currently underway, and please stay tuned for further announcements"

From this tiny sentence comes a small glimmer of hope. Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro are still in talks for future projects but Norman Reedus is out. Although seeing a known face in a Silent Hill game was indeed different, i'm somewhat glad that he is no longer involved. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, love him in The Walking Dead and I think the fact they chose him for Silent Hills only increased the amount of buzz this game received when it was first revealed. I just don't think a famous face in a game is a good idea, not with Silent Hill anyway. 

The P.T website has also removed all images of Reedus from the site but not all images of Silent Hills. It would appears Konami are trying to bury this game under the carpet by removing P.T entirely but what if Silent Hills isn't quite over yet?

I say this because with the Silent Hills image still on the P.T website and also it would seem Kojima and Del Toro are still in discussions, it's possible Konami are not entirely removing this game from existence but possibly changing it around in a massive way. Why not just remove the site entirely as all it has on their now are around six images and nothing else? And why chuck away so much advertising and buzz that the Teaser has already created. They could easily re-use whatever they have currently worked on and adapt a new game from that with Kojima and co on board. It's a long shot but a possibility.

Who knows what Konami are up to at the moment as they seem a little bit up in the air with everything lately but for me i'm going to hold onto a new, potentially great Silent Hill game a little bit longer. 

Silent Hills is dead but Silent Hill isn't.

Finally the silence has been broken on the fate of Silent Hills and unfortunately it's not good news. 

As you're most likely now aware, yesterday (April 27th) a tweet from Photojournalist Matt Hackney who attended San Francisco Film Festival stated that Guillermo Del Toro is no longer working on Silent Hills via this tweet:

Not long after it was reported by IGN that this tweet had been misinterpretated and in fact the collaboration between Hideo Kojima and Del Toro was what wasn't going to happen.

Along with this actor Norman Redus later tweeted that he was "Super bummed" that Silent Hills was no longer happening.

Adding to the fact P.T is now being removed from the Playstation Network it really wasn't looking good and I for one was accepting Silent Hills was never to be. As of today Konami have finally spoken out about Silent Hills and have confirmed our worst fears.
A statement released to Kotaku.com confirms Silent Hills is indeed cancelled. Fortunately it's not all doom and gloom as they have stated that talks are currently underway with Del Toro and Kojima, there is just no more Redus in the picture. 

Konami are not giving up on Silent Hill yet which is great news and the fact it would appear Del Toro and Kojima are still somewhat in the picture is also good to hear. As to what we can expect now though is a total mystery and once again we will just have to play the waiting game.

RIP Silent Hills

As you should be well aware by now, the fate of Silent Hills has been on the line for quite some time. First Hideo Kojima was announced to be leaving Konami, now P.T is being removed from PSN (April 29th) and now at a panel discussion at San Francisco's Film Festival Guillermo Del Toro stated that Silent Hills isn't going to happen.

Photojournalist Matt Hackney who attended the event posted the below tweet to his twitter. 

Konami hasn't yet made an official statement on this so there is that tiny glimmer of hope left that this might not be the case. However with all the news that has been circulating with Silent Hills lately, I think it's time to put it all to rest and accept the game isn't happening after all. 

At Tokyo Game Show 2014, Hideo Kojima revealed a new video for P.T, this being in the form of a concept movie. 

The short movie features creepy toys, severed bug filled heads, giant hands, blood and more! Similar to P.T but this time based in a school and not a house. This is evident from the very first door to the left that reads Mr's ? Class. There are also low pegs on the wall and artwork across the walls. When talking about the video itself Kojima stated that it was never planned to be released and it was made for internal use only. Maybe to show he can do horror?

Kojima also stated that he may release Silent Hills episodically. I'm not sure how I feel about this but if Silent Hills turns out to be anything like what we're already being treated to then I don't think ill mind upon release. 

A pre-recorded video of Guillermo Del Toro was also presented at the show. In the video Del Toro talked about the initial ideas and concepts and also a little more about Silent Hills itself. 

"We talked about concepts and tools at his headquarters in Tokyo," del Toro said. "Then he sent his first version of the playable teaser. I saw it loved it. We then... exchanged ideas and the result was the playable teaser you see now.

"The concepts we’re discussing, the ideas that we're discussing and the tools that are in play to create Silent Hills are going to render an incredibly intense and an incredibly scary game."

The wait is finally over! A new Silent Hill game is in the works titled 'Silent Hills'!

A playable teaser (P.T) was released after Sony's conference at Gamescom today (August 12th 2014) upon completion of the teaser we are greeted to the extremely awesome news that a new Silent Hill is coming! 

But that's not all! It's being made by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro with Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead) as the main character (well I hope its just his likeness and voice). 

If you view the video below you will be able to witness our first glimpse at Silent Hills and i'm not going to lie I may have screamed "Fucking YES!!!" as soon as the title hit the screen. 

You can also check out screenshots of the playable teaser below. What we can also see from the teaser is that it will be created using Fox Engine as well. 

So guys what do you think? Let me know below!
