One of the most anticipated video games of 2015 was Silent Hills, a venture involving Silent Hill creator Hideo Kojima and filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, starring Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus. The Playable Teaser (PT) gameplay trailer had plenty of gamers excited, which made last month's news of Konami cancelling the project even more painful. This week, del Toro responded to the news of his game being cancelled and hinted that he hoped it wasn't completely abandoned. Read more on this new below!

In a recent interview with IGN, del Toro shared his thoughts on the cancellation and opened up about the experience.
"The collaboration between Kojima and myself, the meetings, and the friendship that was developing was beautiful. We had an agreement on where to go. We had an agreement on how we were going to push the new platforms," the iconic film director said, according to Gamma Squad. "Norman [Reedus] was super happy, Hideo was super happy, and so was I. I know there's a petition going on the internet and its gathering signatures. I would add my signature to it, and hope that someone pays attention."
Not to rub salt in your wounds, but it definitely sounds like we're missing out on some great gameplay now that this project has been scrapped.
"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 Crimson Peak director said. "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."
