I slutet av förra månaden kom vi med det sorgliga beskedet att det mycket lovande skräckspelet Silent Hills hade lagts ner. Nu har en av spelets skapare, Guillermo Del Toro, pratat med IGN om projektet och om sin besvikelse över att P.T. plockats bort från PSN.
Det här är inte första gången som Del Toro varit involverad i ett projekt som blivit nedlagt. Han hade även ett finger med i utvecklingen av Insane.
"Well, you know, I've tried twice and I don't know if I'll ever come back to the form. In one instance, the company went down, and in the second, the completely unexpected happened, which was Kojima and Konami separating. It's kind of left me reeling."
Han berättade också om att de ville utnyttja teknologin för att skapa ett atmosfäriskt skräckspel som utspelade sig i ett hus. Dessutom önskar Del Toro att projektet kommer tillbaka och då kan spelarna förvänta sig lite nya händelser:
"What we wanted to do with the game - and we were very much in agreement on this - was to take the technology and make it as cutting-edge as we could in creating terror in the house. The idea was very, very atmosphere-drenched."
"But what made Silent Hill so great was that you had the atmosphere but then you a pay-off with a very active, very intense series of moments. We wanted to do some stuff that I'm pretty sure - just in case it ever comes back, which honestly I would love for somebody to change their mind and we can do it - but in case it comes back there was some stuff that was very new, and I wouldn't want to spoil it."
Slutligen berättade Del Toro om besvikelsen över att Konami valde att ta bort Silent Hills-teasern P.T. från PSN:
"Honestly that's what surprised me. It was a sort of scorched earth approach. It was not a gentle and ambiguous cancellation."
