Konami asked Hideo Kojima to do the next Silent Hill

Hideo Kojima, best known as the creator of the Metal Gear Solid, recently said that the president of Konami has asked him to make the next Silent Hill game, specially after Kojima said that he wouldn’t mind working on the series.

“In the past I’ve mentioned Silent Hill in interviews, and as a result of that the president of Konami rung me up and said he’d like me to make the next Silent Hill.

Honestly, I’m kind of a scaredy-cat when it comes to horror movies, so I’m not confident I can do it. At the same time, there’s a certain type of horror that only people who are scared of can create, so maybe it’s something I can do.

That said, I think Silent Hill has a certain atmosphere. I think it has to continue, and I’d love to help it continue, and if I can help by supervising or lending the technology of the Fox Engine, then I’d love to participate in that respect.”

What do you think about Hideo Kojima working on the next Silent Hill title? Would that make Konami finally open their eyes and give to the series the love it deserves?
These news certainly give some hope on what the future of Silent Hill will be, and seeing Konami refering a “next Silent Hill” actually makes me happy, specially if it has Kojima on the team!

Take a look at Silent Hill set on Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios (SPOILER ALERT!)

 

“Cross through the portal of pain from Fog World to Otherworld, where the forsaken town of Silent Hill awaits.

Feel your blood freeze as you come face to face with Pyramid Head, the colossal executioner, armed with an enormous jagged blade. Go under the knives of devilishly disfigured nurses, determined to scar you for life. Struggle for your final gasps of air as the Bogeyman smashes everything in his path with his murderous hammer.

It’s not a game. It’s not a movie. This time, the nightmare is real. ”

• Red Pyramid, the Missionary, Bogeyman, Dark Alessa, the Nurses, Colin the Janitor and Robbie the Rabbit all make an appearance in the maze.

Off topic – “Nevermind”

Remain calm and “Nevermind”…  a indie psychological horror game that will help you to overcome your fears. You just need to remain calm!

This is not Silent Hill related, however I had to share this new project with you. I’ve seen it at Rely On Horror, and I found the permise of this game very interesting and innovative. So far as I understood, you play as a doctor on a medical clinic and you have in hands cases of patients with psychological problems that broke with their normal life. Therefore you’ll have to go through their traumatic memories in order to figure out which is the origin of the problem. Players will have to face those same episodes and remain calm to the adverse stimuli because your reactions have immediate effects on the gameplay and how the game it self goes – if you get stressed the game will become harder and harder to play, while if you remain calm, things will become very simple, and they will be kept simple if you keep yourself calm when facing scary moments. This way you learn to control yourself and your fears, which is very usefull to your normal life experiences.

Check out some videos of gameplay:
