More than 8 years later, Hideo Kojima talks about PT, the cult demo of Silent Hills, the canceled horror game he was working on. It was enough to move the players.
Do you remember Silent Hills PT? In view of this simple question, fans of Hideo Kojima, of Silent Hill and even Metal Gear Solid surely pulled out the tissues. Besides, Silent Hills P.T is kind of a misnomer, because PT is simply the demo of the game the Japanese was working on, named Silent Hills. This episode presented in 2014 as a new PS4 exclusive, promised to be grandiose. Hideo Kojima, accompanied by director Guillermo Del Toro, was keen to deliver a revolutionary horrific experience. Before their collaboration on Death Strandinga certain Norman Reedus was to play the main role of Silent Hills. Eventually, the project will be canceled by Konami. A sad news that passes the demo of the game, PT, to posterity. More than 8 years later, Hideo Kojima evokes this fragment of Silent Hills in a tweet. Not much, but it was enough to fire up the fans.
PT, the Silent Hills demo that fans will never forget
With its first-person view and its extremely oppressive long L-shaped corridor to be traversed multiple times, PT marked the players. Hideo Kojima, well aware of the scope and impact of his tweets, had fun evoking the cult demo with a pun. The Kojima Productions creator has shared a screenshot from the Twitter account of the film Poor Things, which premieres next September. Next to it, it shows an image that shows the initials of the feature film: “PT”. With this simple tweet, without even writing a single word, the Japanese managed to create a stir among the fans. In comments (more than 1,400 at the time of writing these lines), players evoke their memories of the demo of Silent Hills with sadness. Some still claim the game from Hideo Kojima, which obviously seems impossible.
Hideo Kojima to other games under the elbow
This tweet demonstrates both the aura of Hideo Kojima and the public’s nostalgia for PT. Besides, many players still own the demo of Silent Hills on their console. For them, impossible to part with such a legendary vestige. Some even go so far as to resell their PS4 at exorbitant prices simply because the demo is still installed on it. Fortunately, thanks to Death Stranding, part of the fans of Kojima, Norman Reedus and Guillermo Del Toro, were able to mourn. In addition, Kojima still intends to leave its mark on the survival-horror market. In addition to Death Stranding 2he is working on an Xbox exclusive named Overdosewhose gameplay leaked a few months ago.
Silent Hill will go on without him
the franchise Silent Hill as for her, she does not wait. Konami unveiled its plans several months ago, and horror lovers will have plenty to do. Not only is a Silent Hill 2 film in preparation, directed by Christophe Gans as the very first film, but in addition, the games are legion. First of all, we have Silent Hill 2 Remake, developed by Bloober Team, which should show up this year as a PS5 exclusive. Then comes a project edited by Annapurna, Silent Hill Townfall which will be developed by No Code (Observation). A very ambitious project for an interactive series is also in the works, as well as an incredibly intriguing new opus, Silent Hill f, which promises to be drastically different from anything we’ve known so far. The license is therefore more than ever relaunched and Konami already sees the future in a big way. To see now if the fans will respond. But since the time they claim the return of the series, success should be there!
