In my limited opinion, as I haven't seen all of his movies, this guy mostly makes "popcorn movies." I will admit I really liked Blade 2, that was probably the last thing he made that resembled a horror movie, though it was mostly action, and that was more than a decade ago. Blade 2, Cronos,(I might have seen this but forgotten) The Devils Backbone(saw but do not remember a good thing about) and Mimic(generic/stunk) are really his only forays into the horror genre unless you consider the creature design in Pans Labrynth(which by genre is a drama). He has done some executive producer(which usually means next to nothing) work on a few horrors since but I dont see what this guy will do for silent hill since most of his movies are action movies(obviously not a genre that oozes plot).
I know most people think Silent Hill has stunk for a long time now and I guess its good to get new bood in the pool of ideas, but other than that I dont see what he adds to fold. I dont really like Kojima as a storyteller, but I am sure his vast years as a lead game designer can always be an addition to any game no matter how small the role. Del Toro isnt known for his writing(outside of Pans Labrynth) Is Del Toro a big gamer? A big Silent Hill fan? Whats the big deal?
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
