Forums - Gaming - Guillermo del Toro: 'F**k Konami', cancelling Silent Hills was 'moronic'

It's a sentiment I share.

I'm actually more pissed off that he had Pacific Rim taken from him. He was pretty passionate about it, and the sequel, and now part 2 is in the hands of somebody else, with an entirely different cast.

Talking about Konami's stupidity and the unjustness of Silent Hills' cancellation is always timely!

Well, on that I can agree... they are 24/7 morons and the decision was idiotic as well, just found strange for him to say this out of the blue so long after this is a know fact.

Are you talking about that not so good Evangelion live action?

Yeah, well, it must be driving him crazy. Sometimes I get very pissed off thinking about how great PT was and what Silent Hills could have been. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for a guy who actually worked on it.

Sure must suck, perhaps his speech have some relation to the other notice about Kojima being hostage.

Jim Sterling must be so proud right now.

Yes, probably. From what little we've heard it sounds like Konami treated Kojima as spitefully as they could. I'm sure del Toro knows a lot more about just how bad it really was.

I think he may have been more vocal because now that everyone has parted ways and no longer on contracts or what not. He was waiting to say this ever since they canceled the game. Of course I have no proof and just blindly speculating here.

Why DID Konami cancel it?

Money, I can tell you mile away this would be money pit, The whole project and how well it would have sold. Funny enough death stranded might not be money pit because sometimes controvesy creates cash.
