I knew this would happen after kojima was fired.
The problem with Guillermo del Toro is that he has too many things on his plate. Same with Haunted Mansion movie. He has like 5 or 6 projects he wants to do at the same time. The problem is not that he has them, is that he says he has them, and even does PR and shows off some material, gets people really excited, because he is really good, to then learn only one of his projects after 4 or 5 years is going to see the light of day.

Its not going to happen, even Atari that is a fucking zombie doesnt do it. It only would happen if it goes under like THQ, and I dont think the company per se is going down soon.

These guys act like their bank accounts are all empty. If any of them wanted it to happen then they would have done something about it sooner, unless this is a major PR stunt. All these things to work around while lots of developers get whoever they want on board when the $ money $ is being poured in.
When they showed the 2nd footage of the PT feature at TGS this man was no where to be found? In fact, what was he going to do work exclusively with Kojima? Possibly Skype him? Were they going to meet up somewhere and work inside a studio?
Edit: He was in a video they aired IIRC. I take that back. Pre-recorded footage.

Alright, Sony just hire Toro and Kojima and make the game with the name Silent Chills.
There, no copyright infringement or anything.

"I GOT IT!! Silent Hill, The Free to Play CARD GAME!! Only for Playstation Vita! That'll make TONS of money, seeing as the Vita is doing so well!"
Get Toyama involved as well: Siren Hills
Is this Konami or Square?

Exactly. Konami will be sticking around for at least some time after it exits console gaming operations. No rush to sell its IP.

I would say "time to boycott" but Konami don't actually make any games. After MGSV, I'm just done with them.

I wouldn't mind him and Kojima making a Siren game with Sony Japan. I really liked PT but, to be honest, I didn't want a SH game from them. That series has had enough.
Siren however...

Nah. Those companies release terrible dreck annually and then micro-transaction that same dreck and have terrible consumer policies.
Konami doesn't even get to the first part of actually releasing things. They're not anti-consumer, more anti-console game business.

Yep, they're done with AAA development aside from the Metal Gear series. I would imagine whatever they had Mercury Steam developing is cancelled, too.
Wow... so a game company has challenged as worst by NOT making games vs companies making bad games.. thought I would never see this.
Guess this will make it easier to buy FIFA over PES next time I buy a foozball game...
Maybe they will sell their license to a game making company?

That's actually not that uncommon to see with a lot of notable figures in that industry. I think it's just a bit more noticeable in his case since, iirc, he does a lot of his own concept work.

I don't even think the Make-A-Wish foundation could do that. -getting the original team together.

What the Hill?! Is this for real?
What will harassing the intern/one PR person who runs the account do?
It surely won't make Konami interested in the console game business.

I hate when business gets in the way of creativity : ( this could have been something really great. If he goes on kick starter to find another horror game I'd back it in a heart beat.

The need for a next gen siren is at critical levels now...you know what, the rest of Team silent should jus leave and SCEJ should employ them.

Seriosuly, what the hell happened. I'm really dying to know.
They can argue semantics, but Kojima was purely Metal Gear.
I was going to ditch MG when Kojima made good on his years of saying he'd walk away from the franchise anyway. Now that decision is cast iron

I hope their Twitter is littered with hate tweets. Then again, isn't this just their PR?
