Silent Hills' Kojima, Del Toro Still Plan to Work on New Project

Silent Hills is canceled, but project leads Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro still intend to work on a new project together.

In an interview with IGN, del Toro said, "I love working with Kojima-san. We are still in touch. We are still friends and working into doing something together, but that’s not going to be [Silent Hills]."

Guillermo del Toro also detailed a bit about what Silent Hills -- though still very early in the development process -- could have been.

"We were in the planning stages, and it’s a shame it’s not going to happen," del Toro said. "We were talking about really pushing the boundaries of the new consoles, and making the game really mess with your head. One of the great moments in Metal Gear [Solid] was Psycho Mantis. The idea that a game can actually interact with you, and stuff like that."

That scene is IGN's #2 moment in video games.

You can still play the remnants of Silent Hills if you own its playable teaser, which Konami recently stated it would not remove P.T. from your PlayStation account. However, it has already been removed from the PlayStation Store.
