It's cancelled I think. But Kojima will make a very similar horror game with the same team.

I refuse to even imagine the possibility of never experiencing a fully-fledged P.T.

Probably will continue development with a different director.

I'm sure Kojima leaving is making Konami feels like it's in Silent Hill.
I hope Del Toro bails out after he finds out what happened to Kojima and his team.
The collaboration between those two was just too good to be true. This game could have been something truly special.
I remember Del Toro's video where he couldn't stop praising how great it is to work with Kojima.
Fucking Konami.

This. Knew it was inSANE to think this would actually happen with Del Toro involved.
Probably isn't cancelled,but we'll never know how it would be if Kojima made it,and this hurts more if Konami just killed it. A part of me still want to believe that Konami will do a turn back and maintain Koji for this game,but
this is just me creating expectations that will never be accomplished.
i'm so fucking dead inside

Yup, with mobile-exclusive features like bogus outgoing calls made to consumers from developers and shareholders mimicking zombies.
I just don't understand why Konami is so stupid.
They could search for a new MGS team while Kojima Productions works on Silent Hills. It's a win = win situation. They FINALLY have a great developer who could make this series relevant again.
Everyone loved P.T., people were so excited to see more of Silent Hills and now this shit? WTF ARE YOU DOING KONAMI???
It has to be a ruse, no company is this fucking stupid. They act like they hate money or something.

Konami will give it to some other Dev team and put the final nail in the silent hill coffin.

I am holding out hope that Konami will contract Kojima to do Silent Hills still but it seems like there is a lot of bad blood between the two parties so....Eesh.

Konami will try to keep it going w/o Kojima, but it will eventually die as much of KojiPro follows Kojima or goes elsewhere.
I also expect Del Toro to pull out.

I dont think even Konami knows for sure at this point.
They are saying it will still be worked on but who knows.... I bet it wasnt even going to start full development until after MGSV shipped anyway.

People will hate me for this but i could't care less for metal gear, it ran it's course.
Silent hill on the other hand needed another good entry after so many problems and P.T finally looked to have solved all the problems....

I had this exact thought last week. The amount of buzz Kojima managed to generate around P.T. is staggering. So clearly the only logical thing to do is piss that all away.

It's either dead or you'll wish it had died by the time it releases
I doubt Kojima would be ok with that.
as in why? theorize.

Since Kojima is unlikely to be involved, the best way to keep the hype for it going is to assemble the remaining members of Team Silent that still work at Konami and make it clear they're leading up the project. Outsourcing as they've done with every game after SH4 would be an instant hype killer. Also, hopefully they drop The Walking Dead guy from the cast. That may be the one positive to come from Kojima's lack of involvement.

Well, my man Guillermo del Toro might still be involved. So there's that, right?
Seriously, I'm very worried. I'm a big Guillermo fan and the announcement that he would be involved in a Silent Hill game (one of my favourite franchises) was like a dream come true. He rightly described Silent Hill as a Lynchian experience. So now that one of the key players (Kojima) is likely not involved any more creates cause for concern.
I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens for now...

You kill chop off the head of the snake, the Silent Hill will die.
