Silent Hills was an upcoming game in the Silent Hill franchise. The game was created and developed by Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro with Norman Reedus' (The Walking Dead) as the main characters likeness. On April 27th 2015 after a lot of speculation, Konami officially announced that Silent Hills had been cancelled.
Previously it was revealed that Hideo Kojima had left Konami or had been fired. Rumours began to speculate about the possible break up as well as the future of Silent Hills.
A playable teaser (P.T) was released after Sony's conference at Gamescom August 12th 2014. And is available from the Playstation store for PS4 console users.
Upon completion of the teaser you are greeted to a short video which begins with a man talking about his father. This then leads into a man walking through a deserted, eerie street. He then turns to reveal that its Norman Reedus. The teaser then pans out and we see the title Silent Hills. As of September 1st 2014, P.T has been downloaded over 1 million times.
Silent Hills was being created using the Fox Engine. Kojima states that the Fox Engine is designed for open world gaming.
On August 13th 2014 Hideo Kojima at a Gamescon panel for Metal Gear Solid V stated that the S at the end is Plural for "Scariness".
No release date hasd been announced although according to an interview with whatifgaming it was expected in 2016. The game was being made by 7780s studios. The S stands for Silent Hill.
According to Hideo Kojima "Silent Hills will make you shit yourself" and at the time was unsure whether it would be in third or first person.
Although many fans are hoping for a return by Akira Yamaoka, no official announcement had been made.
At Tokyo Game Show (September 18th 2014) Hideo Kojima released a concept teaser video for the game. You can easily see where P.T has developed from as it shares the same corridor based game. Within the teaser we are introduced to various other elements including bugs, bodys and weird hand things. Along with creepy toys and bloody hand prints.
A pre-recorded video of Guillermo Del Toro was also presented at the show. In 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."
