The next Silent Hill likely to have much badassery

Saw this article at work today. The gist of it is Guillermo Del Toro and Hideo Kojima are supposedly working together to make the next Silent Hill game. To top it off, Norman Reedus (aka Daryl Dixon) is going to be the lead of the game. Have to say, with this mashup, gonna have this one on my radar to see how it comes along.

With the sad state that the Resident Evil and Dead Space franchises are in, word of a new high-profile horror game is incredibly tantalizing. Downright exciting, even. Earlier today at Sony's Gamescom media briefing, the next Silent Hill was teased in a rather convoluted way on stage -- of course, when Hideo Kojima is involved, convolution is to be expected. A title called P.T. was was briefly shown after a video for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's in-game box (seriously), and the audience was told that an interactive trailer for the former would be available on the PlayStation Store relatively soon. NeoGAF spotted that a gamer on Twitch started broadcasting her gameplay after downloading, and that's when something peculiar happened. Toward the end of her terrifying stream, she unlocked a cutscene with a mysterious town and title cards bearing the names of the Metal Gear head honcho, filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro (Pacific Rim, Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) and the name "Silent Hills."

Another aspect of the reveal is that the game's protagonist is apparently played by none other than Norman Reedus -- everyone's favorite Dixon on The Walking Dead, Daryl. If it were just him involved and not Kojima or Del Toro we might be a bit worried -- Reedus' last starring role in a game was the horrible Activision TWD tie-in.

What's more, this could be Del Toro's chance at finally getting involved with video games. Before THQ famously was dismantled piece-by-piece in 2012, he was working on a title by the name of Insane that still hasn't seen the light of day. Maybe that could change soon.

i know people love Guillermo Del Toro, but he's disappointed me every movie after pans labyrinth.

pacific rim was fun and all, hellboy was decent..but compared to the depth and story of pans labyrinth along with the visuals, its almost like a different director did that movie. but people regard him like every movie he made was a pans

/random rant

Still looking forward to this since kojima is involved

Kojima is an amazing developer and really did set the pace for the stealth genre and in a lot of ways games in general. He started the Metal Gear franchise I think when he was 18 as a new guy at Konami before Konami became really big. I'll pay attention to any game that he's involved in. Though for the last 15 years, been pretty much Metal Gear
